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

 

and i wont go home funtil i do it...sometimes it extends my riding time another hour and sometimes i just cant do what i set for myself so i go home in a rage lmao

 

I go out almost everytime with a trick in site. My wife jokes I quit riding for fun a long time ago... It's fun long as I'm learning new stuff... LOL

hg

 

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

 

**** yeha...it really does **** me off sometimes....ill yell out loud at the world asking WHY CANTI DO THE DMAN CIRCLE WHEELIE!haha..good thread

 

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

 

...I **** so bad, I stopped setting goals. lol

 

i set goals every time.. i just never reach them

 

+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.

 

I normally go out ride for 10-15 warm up. practace stoppies, practace fast str8 line combos, circles & then work my *** 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

 

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.. **** like that.

you learn to give head in different positions?
