Message: [QUOTE="LaRider20, post: 189829, member: 15940"] I used to struggle with ruts, loose sand, roots, and especially MUD. A friend who is an advanced rider was watching me struggling one day and gave me this advice. He said that you are trying to force the bike to go exactly where you want it to go, and what you should be doing is pointing it in a certain direction. He also told me that I was way too tight and that I was going to squeeze the bike right out from under me, when I should be loose and fluid and let the bike do the work. This has really helped me be a more confident rider, and at the end of the day my body isn't all knotted up and I'm not poping Tylenol anymore. [/QUOTE]
