[QUOTE="motor86, post: 123550, member: 16957"] Learn to memorize stuff. If people ask about my memory, I will sometimes say to them "I have a 4 second flash memory." Then I explain to them about dirt biking and looking ahead. I look about 2-4 seconds ahead at all times and I glance 10-20 seconds ahead (if viewable) to get an idea of what is comming up. I will look ahead and scan for rocks, roots, and logs and then I pick a line. Then I am done. I ride it. 2-4 seconds after I pick where I am going, I hit that spot. But I don't think about that spot, I am already looking at something ahead. Now sometimes there are a lot of obstacles close together. This means more thinking. I can only think so fast. This is why I slow down when the trail gets tough. I have to because I cannot look at the trail and pick a line and think of how to ride through it as fast as the bike will go. The best thing to do is practice. I have had my trail for a year and in the last few months I have improved my skills a lot. I used to ride my KDX through the trail in first gear chugging the engine. Now I ride my CR250 through the trail in first gear at half throttle. If you have ridden both of these, you would know that first gear on a CR is equal to about second gear on a KDX. So I was really forced to learn to ride fast by riding the CR. So next time you are out there, put it a gear higher than what you ran it before. Try to ride the bike through without killing the engine. Then each time ride the same high gear faster and faster. The bike will push you faster. Good luck [/QUOTE]
