July 15, 201610 yr Hi guys just hitting a bit of plateau and finding that I'm not enjoying it so much because I don't have that adrenaline rush which happens when I go shredding with my KTM 300 or ripping down trails with my downhill bike. What to do? Alternate between bikes? Any suggestion is appreciated! Cheers
July 15, 201610 yr Ride each when you feel like it. Or just take the trials bike to the top of the steepest hill you can find and try to roll down it without dying... that's usually good for some adrenaline.
July 16, 201610 yr Make your challenges harder. Old saying.. If you do what you always do.....you get what you always get.?Cheers Taff.

July 16, 201610 yr Try to ride something that your mind can see the possibility of death. It`s far easier in trials to do that than going fast. Going fast and fear has to deal with the sudden stop. Trials is the death defying ride. Speed not needed.
July 16, 201610 yr I think you have the word on it, go big or go home! Always a little ninja in us who really love trials so push yourself, you will find that rush I am sure of it!
July 16, 201610 yr Hi again, another way is to ride with higher skilled riders, and ride their line. Taff
July 16, 201610 yr I have never had that problem... here is a short clip of me riding my txt200 being followed by a friend who had borrowed my EC200 (between sections) pretty sure my adrenaline was higher than his - LOL https://youtu.be/AbZr2TLglTY Edited July 16, 201610 yr by michael_t
July 16, 201610 yr I get a rush every time I start my beta. When she goes in gear will she jump forward and run away or will I be ok! Applying front brake as a precaution is just too safe.

It is amazing how much of a Ninja this fat middle aged body can be when crashing and trying to get away from a falling bike.

I used to run into the same thing... now before I start it, I put it in 3rd gear pull in the clutch and see if it is stuck if it is I just rock it back and forth a little until the clutch frees up... cuts down on that little surprise take off after the bike has been sitting for a bit.
