Goals - Stunt Discussion

verticaljay · 08-08-2006, 02:59 PM

I know everytime I go out and practice I set goals for myself before I start riding. I usually spend about 30-45 min warming up and then start working on the goal for the evening. Does anyone else do this? It feels great when I hit my goal but it also sucks when I can't get a particular trick.

Anyone else ride like this? Any methods to the way you attack particular tricks?

i kind of do somehting like that..usually right before i go in to go home..(cause i ride my bike to the spot down the road)..i set a goal for myself like..i hyave to do 5 no handed circles before i go home..or i have to pull off a clean 180 endo into some sitdown circle without putting down my foot..i wont leave until i do my GOAL

Yep, usually puts me in a bad mood as well. We have no lights at our spot so my time is pretty limited towards the end of the season, which drives me to drink

it depends... but yes sometimes i ride likw that.

sometimes im just out to have a fun day riding... but then other times i get really motivated and keep trying somehing over and over and over and try not to let it go til i get it. sometimes its best if you feel like you are getting worse and worse at it, to drop it for a while, and try again later that day or the next day. it helps sometimes.

That's a pretty good angle. I hate it when you are getting close to something or start improving on a particular trick and then 10 min later you seem to lose it. I have def switched it up after that has happened.

I have had one goal for the enitire summer...perfect slow wheelies..ie be able to catch idle and go no hands, scrape under control..the worx...I get so frustrated but everytime I get a chance that is what I practice. After I get that goal I am sure I will just set another... and another...and

Paw Paw · 08-08-2006, 07:06 PM

Kaotic · 08-08-2006, 07:09 PM

+1 im usually the same way, but as of late thats usually about the same time i get or almost get hurt because im pushing myself when my body is whooped and cant keep up with my brain anymore.

Tony L · 08-08-2006, 07:18 PM

I normally go out ride for 10-15 warm up. practace stoppies, practace fast str8 line combos, circles & then work my ass off on the new new stuff at the end of the night till i wanna pass out or run outa gas. lately its been some early morning sessions

Kaneone · 08-08-2006, 07:25 PM

i usually set a goal to do at least Something new or different every time i ride.
even if its as small as different head position in a stunt or linking of two tricks.. shit like that.
