It's the big, long hills that are suppose to be scary, but the hills that trip me up are the small little declines, slightly off camber, with maybe a rock or two. It's embarrassing to come to the top of a mini hill and have to coax yourself down it.There are two little downhills at Alum Rock, that as of yet, have defeated me. I managed to ride them; squeezing the brakes, dragging my foot and squealing all the way down. That's impressive. I sure as heck want to do downhill at Sea Otter next year, dragging feet and screaming "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
I know those hills are rideable, I had the perfect line picked out too. If I could just turn off my brain, and lay off the brakes I would have been fine. It was a not one of my best rides; messed up every single switchback too.
Practice, practice, practice.
So here's the dealio; in two weeks, before I head out to Wildflower, I'm going to conquer those two hills, and be able to ride down a smallish flight of stairs with ease.
Sugoi Dirt Series Camp this weekend! I'm all about the skills. When I get back I'm going to
be mighty!
