I think I do best in picking lines thru the rocks. If there is not a scary drop off next to my line, I can fly thru the nasty stuff with alot of confidence. Up or down hill.



Where are you riding that gives you this issue? I've paddled white water all over the state and 4wheeled the Forest Service roads, but have only been riding since August.
