ooohhh..

i might have pulled a muscle in my abdomen trying yesterday..haha.

okay. trackstand. when you hit that one point in the trail where you have to pause..be it a tight turn, rock..whatever. it is nice not to put your feet down right away. or if the group bunches up and you have to wait a tiny bit..kudos to the guy trackstanding.

bunny hop. nice to glide over logs, rocks..go UP short stairs.

manual. 1. first step to a bunny hop, 2. and it is the ONLY way to go off a small ledge without nose diving to certain death. there is on cliff on my trail, i do it like a tard. serious potential yard sale carnage. small 1.5 foot drop off.

brake stand. there are switchbacks that are too tight to make going down. the idea is to lift the back wheel, pivot and have the bike pointing in the right direction. like throttle steering a 911, but scarier.

i just want to ride better..more graceful. really take advantage of riding.

it's like heel-toe driving..double shifting..throttle steering, etc.. tricks of the trade. you wouldnt tell a guy trying to drive better and learn to heel/toe..just drive. right?

today, i am lowering my saddle.
