[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 92775, member: 16301"] SGR, at least you took it swimming in CLEAN water. Mine got dunked along with me in my NEW gear in a goo hole Mother's Day!!! Michelle, glad to help!! Now if I can just get Karl's latest advice to become natural - momentum, momentum, momentum. I do okay with not thinking lately ;) but I don't keep enough speed up usually when I'm unsure and THAT seems to cause even more problems. Karl, my son and I took a short ride Saturday and I got stuck halfway up a new hill with a nice slick clay base. I knew I didn't have enough speed the first time because I had slowed to make sure my son made it without CR500 knobbies on his back. He zipped up the hill, tight singletrack that had wet clay right where it made a quick turn to avoid a gully. I powered out, turned the bike around & went back to the bottom to get a better run at it. Got to the same spot and slowed too much, spinning the rear tire so I was done. Karl volunteered to ride it up for me because I was tired from trying to keep it from sliding back down the hill. So he flew up the hill and instructed me I need to use MOMENTUM to make it up. So, we'll add THAT to the list of things to remember as I'm fearing for my life!!! I think it's goes just before "wheelie through the tight trees" on my things to DO list!!!! :p Seriously though, I have found that the more I can keep my speed up, the easier it usually is to just bounce over the obstacles. Of course that also means that when I don't bounce over the obstacles, it hurts me and my bike A LOT more!! [/QUOTE]
