[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 93642, member: 16301"] KTMster, This is my 3rd season on bikes, 2 nd season on my CR. Thanks for the compliment but I know I'm not at the level of SGR (I've read the stories - unfortunately I haven't had a chance to ride with her in person)! I hold my own on the trails through sheer determination and fortunately a good amount of physical strength (thanks mom ;)) but I am not fast by any means. I'd get roosted by the PW50's on a track. Heck I get roosted by my son on his KX60 anymore. It helps that I am a very competitive person and not easily intimidated plus I do ride a lot since I have trails conveniently located out my door. Fortunately Karl is very talented rider and patient with me. He likes to push me and has more confidence in my riding than I do but, I trust him and his assessment of most situations. Of course that does not keep me from screaming loudly as I attempt to follow him where ever his newest challenge for me may be. But, I figure, he hasn't killed or maimed me yet and I have conquered some pretty intimidating obstacles so on to the next one. I have found that riding with someone that can challenge you really helps. It can also be really frustrating when it seems that you are ALWAYS the one learning and always the least capable rider. That's when we usually take a break and regroup. I agree with Michelle, from reading your posts you are doing great. Just keep challenging yourself within reason and it will start to feel more natural. I still get butterfly's in my stomach before I get on my bike, not sure if it's just an adrenaline rush or if I'm really nervous but I do feel em. If you have someone to ride with that can give you tips and pointers, that is a great help. [/QUOTE]
