Actually going relatively well - had some hard rides at De Wildt recently
I will be missing the next EWXC as I will be away, but I'd like to do better in the following one and the only way is practice, practice practice.
Saddle time is the only way !! ;D

Geez, the damage to you and the bike could have been even worse considering that was a huge "off" - get better soon.

Glad you survived :thumleft:
As discussed at the last EWXC, I now have a whole clump of trials bikes in my garage (and the lounge, & study...) so give me a shout if you want to do some slow speed playing, saddles are over rated anyway..

Plottie, jy begin so raak raak aan Lito se luck, een of ander dag gaan dit veiliger vir jou wees om eerder net te loop of te draf. :biggrin:

Hi Plottie.
Sorry to hear about your big off... I hope you mend well.
By the way, I understand the concept of the big off, but I rather think that in your case it was a big down, in fact a long way down (and that without Ewan or Charlie). So much for the powerslide king.
Regards

Glad everything turned out OK, Plottie. :thumleft:
This terrain is very difficult and you need all your experience to negotiate it. This terrain has all the makings for training and getting ready for the roof. Crawling up ravines with banks at 75 degree angles. The riverbeds are ultra rocky and very slippery when they are wet. Plenty of off camber riding especially down mountain paths. Some of the paths are so steep that you lock up on your rear wheel and slide down using your front brake to slow you down.
Throttle control is the order of the day. If you do not have a good feel for throttle control then this is not the place to ride. To much and you loose control, to little, you loose your balance!
This is the place to train. It is not about speed but balance and co-ordination. It is about reading the terrain and identifying a route which is possible to ride. Basically it boils down to making a choice and acting on it. Very often there is no time to second guess and once you have committed you must carry it through.
As Plottie has quite rightly said,
When you are tired, call it a day! Don't try and fool yourself when you are tired as this is when you make mistakes. Rather bring your ride to an end and call it a day. There is nothing better then being able to go back again and build on the experience. You will win - it's called determination and perserverance.
I will go back again and again till the fear has subsided into confidence and experience.............
