This week I challenged @Mason Swan & @Oh Fugit to some seriously techy practice situations, with the promise I'd try it myself. Here is the raw version. I started with some bicycle practice (a GREAT way to get into the right mindset if you have the chance - with much lower consequences) then I give you a run down of what I'm trying to do - then enjoy 7 minutes of me questioning my life decisions. Anyone else having fun with their practice lately? This was WAY HARDER than I thought it would be. 😅👀

Your mission should you choose to accept it.... Your main objectives: ~Create a steady tone using the clutch and throttle ~Keep the hips in line or slightly in front of your chest ~Chest stays UP and not crowded over the bars There are lots of variations of this, I provided some examples in the video below but the one I challenge you all to try is: Find yourself a nice gentle slope. Grass, sand, gravel...something that's not intimidating and is OK if you tip over on. I challenge you to roll up the hill as SLOW AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN without spinning the rear tire and still maintaining that steady tone. (within reason) If you're trying to go up Erzberg hills....it might not work. Once you get moving...TRY TO STAY IN MOTION despite trying to move slowly...This is the challenging part. It's going to help us develop feel for how we can use our upper body (and even legs) to help us stay balanced. And help us develop the composure to keep the REVS AT A STEADY STATE. No more panic clutch! Whoop whoop! I'll get out in the next day or two to work on this and post some examples, but share your practice attempts and what you noticed for yourself! And don't just take my word for things. Experiment and play around with these for yourself. See what happens if you get your hips back to where the rear fender & seat meet vs. more centered. Or what it feels like to have the chest over the bars vs. centered or even back. Play around with moving on the seat, and share what you find. That's what this is about afterall! Getting a feel for real world applications. If you've reached ascension and think you're "all that" doing it seated...Try it standing 😈 May the odds be ever in your favor...
