Since I was a smaller whipper snapper I would increase the thrill of watching the road roll by as a passenger in the car by linking up shadows as jumps, if there was more shadows then light it would swap.
A suggestion for when your a passenger, hours of entertainment.
A bit harder to work in single track tho.At least half a weekend off bike coming up soon so might have to make up some new coping strategies.
October 22, 2009 at 11:33 am #157646When I was into skiing I use to look at all the hills and slopes and imagine skiing down them and what grade they would be, but shadows and jumps thats just weird.

October 22, 2009 at 12:12 pm #157648so was it a 2T or a 4T Bruce?
mine depended on what mood i was in :silly: :laugh: :woohoo: 😆 :silly: :silly:
or if i got bored of two wheels and swapped for 4. it was always an 8
and if i had to push the shopping trolly, it was an 8 too, i would drift around the end of the isles :blink:
if the men in white jackets come to collect me they better be CAMS approved with the teams sponsors embroidered on ’em!! :whistle: :pinch: :laugh: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :cheer: :silly: 😆 :silly:

Use your imagination beemy. Everyone else is
When I’m on the train, I imagine that I’m riding on the service road…….sweeeet
On the way from moto’s and tigertyne’s house is a stretch of road with some grassy rolling dunes next to it. There is a straight track along it. Moto must have a great time driving to work.
We figured that one day, due all the blind crests, we could use the helmet coms. so moto could ride his bike along the track flat out and I’ll be in the car to warn him if a bike comes the other way. That way he could ride our fantasy for real
Spare the obvious
