Hallelujah, I’ve seen the line
For me MTB has always had a “divine” like experience. I have often thought that the activity (mountain biking) and the environment (in the forest) work together to improve my “body awareness”… both the physical and mental aspects. It’s a process of evolution that develops with never-ending enlightenment.
The other day I saw yet another YouTube video, of a local DH trail Backseat Driver… previously, I had resigned to the thought that I’d never see someone ride what appeared to be the ONLY line through a steep section… well, that has changed. I’ve seen the line and the enlightenment continues beyond the trail. Not that I’ll be riding this section any time soon. The audible “oof” at the bottom followed by a “phew” says it all. I just can’t get too excited about falling 10′ and using my arms to break the fall, taking a hit to the abdomen in the process. Just kidding! I’d do it, but unfortunately I don’t wear the double crown.
