One With Nature

See how dirty my lover and me got after doing 3 laps at BT... Im happy that after some time, I have begun to develop my mountain biking skills.

Im seeing improvement in my climbing, which I thought was really hard at BT, but actually I was climbing with a wrong body position. My butt was seated, which was causing more weight to be on the rear wheels. I was very worried that the rear would lose traction without more weight at the rear. This caused me to have a really light front, and frequently lose control when trying to negotiate an ideal line of attack. I eventually found an optimum climbing position for me, which is to hover above the seat, lean slightly forward. Only when I need a last burst of fire to conquer a steep uphill then I will throw my body forward.

I absolutely love doing the trail at BT. I love the feeling of conquering the steep uphills, and being able to take a smooth quick line on the downhills.

Now I gotta show some love to my bike... its still waiting for a shower!
