[QUOTE="fishhead, post: 124890, member: 18565"] Fc what edge are you talking about? the edge of traction/control or the edge of personal limits.I found that working on one limit at a time is beneficial. Just a personal observation but if we didn't get hurt then pushing to crashing would be ok. Every baby learns to walk that way but they don't get hurt and they have a lot of emotional and physical resilence so they don't get discouraged. It sounds like you have an intense desire to improve but are impatient with your results.But it sounds like you've made good progress so far. There is wisdom in what you said about improving your fitness. A good level of fitness will allow you to learn faster because big mistakes will be fewer and you will have the strength and endurance to recover from the smaller ones and recovering from the near misses and correcting is where the quality learning takes place. From my experience crashing sucks and the more you put at risk the greater it sucks. I got back on a bike after a 14 year hiatus (read very large crash) last spring and the guys I used to kick the snot out of on the road race course were wiping up the trails with my sorry @$$. I found that I went faster by being slower.slower to hop on the bike and quicker to head out for a 2mile or the gym. Slowed down when practicing to find the edge of traction and control. Worked on one thing only at every practice. Front brake, rear brake, combo brake,turn left turn right riding over obtacles climbing hills, decending hills ect ect ect. now I can keep up with them during most of the ride and in the case of the last 60 miler for the last 20 miles they are all mine baby! the key was investing 30 mins a day that they weren't. btw; most of the guys that I know who are riding the ktms in the woods have geared them down quite a bit, particularly for reiter. about 3 teeth on the rear or one off the front. You might want to give John at moto pro a call if your suspension is beating you up. He has done a lot of testing recently at reiter to improve the ktm supenders on square edge bumps. See ya out there! you'll recognize us by the gray hair and the trail happy kdx's.:D [/QUOTE]
