joshlyd1 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have been watching Damon Watson and stuff lately and was just wondering how they can get soooo good and fearless . At the moment i feel as if i really need to get a bit better and stop mucking round .. does anyone else have this problem like you feel as if your getting no where ?

Laurence--Trials Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 What you really need to do is concentrate on one thing at a time, i always was doing what ever i wanted so a cupple kicks then some taps then maybe some drops. So then I would be getting better at everything. But now i started practicing one thing at once and you improve so much quicker than if you would do it in any random order. Hope i answered your question and not chatting about some random shit Laurence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hill Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yes, i went through a similar stage a few months ago. I think the problem with you josh is you spend too long pissing around and abusing adam on rides and dont spend time actually riding. If you rode more then you'll improve,become more confident and eventually grow the balls to do bigger and better stuff. Also listening to advice of the likes of Ben and Kyle and other riders also helped to improve my riding and rekindle my love of the sport.

matthew_coggan Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 This might not help but i fount when i rode every day i didn't improve very much, and this knocked my confidence. But when i rode like twice a week I seemed to improve quicker and was able to do better stuff. If you ride alot I recommend you give it ago it worked for me.

0zzy Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 i think where people go wrong is they just practice one move, again, again and again. it just gets boring.. variey your moves helps loads imo, im not saying do a 180 etc cos i cant stand that stuff as it just feels wrong on a trials bike.
