Default Most common crash reason?

Good ol' scared strait! Lets see how long I can remember that stuff! I've crashed parck fliers many a time 50+ in the last few months. Namly same tree, same plane, 3 times, same day. Only 2 weren't pilot error. #1 Beautiful day withh 3-4 mph CONSTANT breeze. on my landing aprotch, wham, 10mph gust puts her nose up at 3 feet. The rest is history. #2 Beautiful day, no wind. Hand launch and the plane starts bouncing over "pot holes" there was no way to find before flying. turned around and set up to land on a baseball dimond and at 9 in. and plenty of airspeed it hits a bump and slamed into the ground. Busted tail wheel was the result.
