My brain didn't know where I should look as down the trail was surely where I was looking? Without discussion, Tony understood this and gave be a key word, vanishing point,now, my brain has proper instruction to understand! So what does this mean on the trail, well that's the eureka moment I had while riding this morning, I can slow the trail down & give my self time to brake and steer without the trail rushing at me as it was when I was looking a metre in front of my wheel! So now I have found that I can SLOW the trail while travelling faster, which is fucking brilliant! <br /><br />I am sure these eureka moments will keep coming as I practice and hone the skills Tony has taught me.I know its been said many times before but the man is a fucking genius and has very good coffee!<br /><br />many thanks <br /><br />Chrismasterschrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274739508089968025noreply@blogger.com
