jimmyl Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Walk section from start to finish to get a general feel for where it goes. Then walk back from finish to start picking your line - this way the bit you ride first is the bit youve just walked and frsh in your mind Try and remember any key point ie rock or root to try and ride over to help break section down into bits. Avoid chatting and being distracted on the way back so you are fully focused. Try and picture where you will be when you ride it. Other than that just concentration I guess or a ball of string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htrdoug Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Walk your line like previously stated but don't watch any riders before you unless they're on your route, don't even look at the other routes at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabtastic Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Dont worry, everyone does it. Just walk the section, then walk it again and then again just to make sure you know precisely where your going and what line to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilc0 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Also ask observer if your really not sure,them observers arnt as busy looking as they make out most the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joekarter Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Try and remember any key point ie rock or root to try and ride over to help break section down into bits. This helps me more than anything. I pick "spots to ride to" rather than trying to memorize the whole thing. Of course all this goes totally to h$ll when it starts to rain and my glasses fog up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
