[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1208803, member: 17212"] I would love to read that if you can find it mom. The peripheral vision thing is huge. It works in all kinds of situations from trail riding to full on pro racing. It especially works with starts. Many riders look directly at the starting gate or flagger on the starting line. The good starters look all the way into the first corner and let their peripheral vision look at the gate. The one's looking directly at the gate usually find the gate flat on the ground before they go or they go when others around them start to go. The really fast starters look into the corner and when their minds detect the slightest movement in the gate, they're gone. :ride: On trail it works in much the same way. If you are looking down directly in front of your front wheel all the time, you are slowing yourself down. If you look up ahead on the trail as far as you can see, your peripheral vision sees everything from that point back to your front wheel and registers that in your mind. Even though you are not looking directly at the trail in front of you, your mind knows what is there and tells your brain if there is anything to be concerned about. If you look directly in front of you, you will see every little bump, rock, root and irregularity in the trail and you will find yourself backing off the throttle for those things. If you rely on your instincts and peripheral vision, you will ride right over those things and not even notice them. There are many little tricks like that and that is what separates the true moto Gods from the rest of us. [/QUOTE]
