How to go faster, no matter who you are.
Best advice I ever got.... "Stand up, look ahead, waaaaay ahead." Kevin Hines, former AMA National Enduro Champion.
After that: "Stand up, the guys beating you are." Mike Lafferty, AMA National Enduro supreme champion. Standing up lets the bike move below you without upsetting your balance, keeps you proactive for upcoming obstacles. As good as your suspension may be, your legs are better. Around here, single speed, rigid mountain bikes are pretty popular. Watching those guys do what they do makes me feel a little silly on my geared full suspension bike. Worst advice I ever got?? After a discussion of vision. "Naw mate, don't listen to him, just twist that little twisty thingy on the right a little further, if you don't like what's coming ahead, just let go and grab back ahold of her when you're through." Shane Watts, Psycho, and 3 time world champion, ISDE overall winner on a 125 (2000, in OZ), and U.S. champion.
