• Tip #1:  Momentum is your friend, Fear is your enemy!  95% of all crashes I have either seen or been involved with are the direct result of being afraid and or timid about a situation on the trail.

The most exciting and fun rides I've had are when I'm flying through rough terrain with a Zen like state, quiet mind and body purely reacting without conscious thought.  Momentum is your friend, Fear is your enemy!
