[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1208831, member: 17212"] That is another good tip mom. Look where you want to go. We tend to go where we look. If you are on a narrow trail with steep drop-offs on either side, it will be hard to stay on the trail if you look over the edge. (Ask Gomer about this one. :laugh: ) If you look over the side, it feels like there is a large magnet trying to pull you over the side. If you look up and ahead, you don't get that feeling. Same with trees. If you blast around a corner and there is a big tree in your way, don't look at the tree. Look for an escape route between the trees and that is where you will go. Many years ago one of my sponsors told me this trick. I was having trouble sliding off the groove on a very slippery racetrack. When I slid off the groove, I would look at the crash wall and think to myself, damn I don't want to hit that. :whoa: Well, guess what? I did hit the wall. My sponsor told me that when I get into that situation to look back to the inside of the turn and tell my self, "That's where I want to be." and make yourself go there. I looked at him like he was nuts but, the next time I slid off the groove, instead of looking at the crash wall, I did what he told me to do and it worked. I was able to save it and get the bike back in the groove. I like your "let the force be with you" analogy. :cool: We all have that force within us and it is up to us to find the keys to unlock that force. These little mind tricks are the way to to that.
