- Maintaining motivation and continuing to improve is super simple: Have more fun than last time. The best way that I know how to do that is just by getting better.
We all know the weaknesses in our own riding, why not target those things? This year I picked 5 skills that I set some specific, reasonable and attainable goals around to focus my riding as the season gets going.
In this video I talk about those goals as well as some of my plans heading into the season. Lets get into it!
Nice man! Great approach!!
Thanks Alex! I've been so focused on my cornering that I've been letting some of the other skills slide, I really need to take your 15 minutes a day approach and start chipping away at a few more of these!
I totally agree! Great goals! As for deadlines, meh, most are totally arbitrary. Unless there's an event that we have to be ready for!! Great videos! Man they're a lot of work!
Thanks Ken, definitely hoping you can help give me a leg up on a couple of these goals!
Well said. Subscribed and looking forward to your wheelie progress. I decided last season to learn wheelies. Hit it hard for a week and apart from learning the skill the best thing was learning about learning and goals and the stupidity of my arbitrary deadline. Uploaded a vid on it a few months back, and like your hop video that I just watched and your comments here, my thoughts were mainly about the mindfuck. Amyway, thanks and see you in the air.
Nice mate! Good to have a few goals for the year. We set up a few as well and are slowly working through them. Some of those skills though... Do take a frustratingly long time to get under control. Will be cool to see how these develop over the year... :D
It's a good thing I'm in no rush, skills come when they come, setting the goals just makes sure they do indeed come. I just plan on managing my expectations, I learnt a consistent 16" bunny hop on concrete in 8 days last September but I know those wheelies might not happen until the end 2022 haha, just gotta keep at it to see.
@@casestudymtb Yeah... I've been working on my wheelie for a while... And it's getting there. But it did not take a hot minute to learn... I put a video up of some of the things that helped me along the way if you're interested...
Nice goals and very similar to mine. For years I wanted to learn rear wheel hops then last year I bought a trials bike and put in the effort and now I'm pretty decent at them. You can do it if are tenacious, I am not a gifted athlete. Similar with wheelies, one winter I was bored and consistently went out and practiced till I got pretty good. Both skills I could improve on but I'm now impressively good and isn't that the point of these lol!
This year I want to get 20" bunny hop. My long term goal is to hop onto a picnic table (probably never happen).
I also want to clear 2 jumps at a local trail. They aren't the biggest jumps but difficult and scary to me.
On my trials bike I currently have 2 goals: hop 180s, and be able to link a bunch of pedal kicks together so I can hop all over the place on my rear wheel.
Good luck on your goals!
Thats so rad! I'd love to get my hands on a trails bike but for the time being my xc hardtail will just have to do! Thanks for sharing your goals and progress dude! I love hearing from people who are out there getting after it!
I found a used trials bike about 2 hours away after looking for months. I didn’t have the $ for a new so a months long search is what it took. Rear wheel hops will be very difficult on a MTB, I can’t do it on my 29 but I’m pretty small so maybe that’s the issue for me.
