DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!

ONE OF THE SECRETS TO GOING FAST DOWNHILL is not thinking about it.  Huh? Turning my focus to MTB racing...

... I've had to think about this.

The fastest among us aren't thinking,
analyzing,
fretting.

But, how do we get in the zone?

We have to think about it, for a bit.

In my case, after months and miles of graveling on the gravel bike I retarded my Road and MTB descending skills.

For example, on gravel bike I ride a lot of difficult trails en route to gravel, everything is slower.

No suspension + skinny tires + high pressure = slow.

Slow because it's so much rougher.  Every rock and root is magnified...

... the largest effect has been on my vision.

I'm not looking far enough ahead when on the fast and fierce MTB bike which smoothes everything out.  Consequently, I'm having way to many Oh $#!2! moments.

That thought solidified - look as far ahead as possible - takes effort.  It's breaking a bad habit.

Once a bad habit is broken, we no longer think about it.
We are in the zone.
Going fast(er).
Confidently.

There are a slew of other things to think about when ripping off road.  This is a great place to start:  https://youtu.be/8y6ocZHpLoE.

Think about it.
Work on it.
Rip it...

... without even thinking about it.

Ever heard the term...

... Grip it and rip it!

If I wasn't constantly being stopped by the locals wearing these gloves and socks, I wouldn't be so passionate about them.

They come in a rainbow of colors...

... nothing better than matching gloves and socks.
