After years of XC riding I started to get a little bored. Last year, I picked up a dedicated DH rig, and this winter I built up a DJ rig after not riding jumps since I was a teen... I started to think about the riding skills that I have had in the past and not practiced, or riding skills that I have admired others for, and started actually make a list of things I want to re-learn or just plain get better at!
my list includes but is not limited to...
manuals (since I am only ok at wheelies practicing that as well) but pedal wheelies are not as important a skill in my eyes as being able to manual is!
in general street/park riding. (now that I have the rig for it)
jumping in general and with more style, flow, and amplitude!
things like skinnies etc. are a given!
this should be a great year with tons of fun riding and new sets of goals! What is on your list for this season?
Oh... and I guess staying in 1 piece would be great as well!
