You heard!
Surely it's simply the point that you were riding sections faster than ever before and nearing the limits of your bikes tyres adhesion to the surfacex and your ability to control said bike.......if you didn't crash, you were on the limit for that bike/tyre/rider combination in my opinion. Same with driving different cars on the limit, go beyond it or the drivers capabilities you will crash.
All my riding limits tend to come about either through tyre pressure or tread pattern/grip.......ie High Rollers.....when you get to that drop off point on the edges of the tread blocks and it all gets to the point of not recovering the slide.....or the tyre deforms through lack of pressure and starts to roll off the rim. The tyres I prefer riding are rounded profile type tread patterns, they seem to hang on for longer ie old Continue Rubber Queen Black Chilli vs Nobby Nics.....I can't corner anywhere near as fast on Same bike, same suspension, same tyre pressure but different tyre....ie Nobby Nics are crap for my riding style.
Sometimes we can also all be guilty of overthinking our rides............surely the best ride is one where you finish the tide smiling, not worrying about one or two corners out of many that you didn't nail.....
Just my thoughts......don't overthink it....just tide.
I'm always smiling when on the bike !!
I'm pleased to see that Renton's living proof that 29ers are faster.
FACT!
@ Hora
My apologies, I was grouchy earlier and that was uncalled for.
No problem 🙂 , renton carry on. Ive got a spare 650b wheelset if you want to borrow em 😀
Why would I want to do that you weirdo 
I ride a bike designed for 29 inch wheels which is what it will have fitted.

Havent you heard Renton?...the powers that be in the bike industry have decided that 29ers are now old hat and that sticking 650b wheels in your 29er frame with 2.8 rubber will make you gazillion times faster again!....or some such industry bo@@ocks....its called 650b+ because as we all know putting a 'plus' sign with the product name makes it immediately better than what came before....or some such industry bo@@ocks.

Really? I mean.... really? I ride no where near the limits of my tyres, I pull on the fear sticks way before then, and it's my rubbish cornering that either ends in me cartwheeling down a hill or in some bushes.
I've yet to think "Pffft, Minions, you're not good enough for my riding style".
