90% rock, 10% dirt

Ways to improve my downhill skills:

1) look up, look ahead
2) fire Yoda

I bet there were days Luke Skywalker wanted to whack Yoda on the head with his lightsaber, doncha think? "Do or do not. There is no try" gets old really fast. I mean the poor kid had to lift a big ass viper out of a bogue for gosh sakes. And does Yoda offer any postive criticism? Does he take any time at all to notice that Luke has gotten better, a little more focused, a little more capable on the bike...uh, I mean...with the force? Nooo, it's just "do or do not, or else you're going straight to the dark side." I wouldn't blame Luke for taking his jedi powers and blasting that little rubbery green puppet half way across the galaxy. "I am doing, you little kermit the frog reject. I'm just not doing it as well as you!"
