I'm gonna preface my next post here by saying that unless the 2 week break was good for me and I come back from this break with new vigor, and have a stellar day at the track tomorrow, I think I'm in a rut. It even occurred to me that maybe I should sell my YZ and get my Dyna running.
2 weeks ago at the track, I didn't feel like I was improving in the jumps, which is where I want to improve. Watched the video afterwards and I'm just doing the same thing. On the big jumps I dont send it & land hard. Cornering improved, but there are some jumps that I am just afraid of.
I am 48, (and have a lot to lose if I injure myself) so that weighs heavy on my mind, but I feel like I'm not reaching that next plateau.
I've always been an athlete, and understand the level thing, but I feel like I should just man-up and just send it on these jumps. Like the landings would be softer, and less of an impact.
Do you guys go through the same thing? I assume you must.
I've done this with many things in my life (playing guitar comes to mind, skydiving too), and maybe I just need to wait until "the right time" to send it. But I'm tired of not feeling like I'm moving forward. Impatient.
And everyone tells me once I send it, I'll be asingk myself why I haven't been doing this since the start. And I understand this too because of the step-up that I learned to send-it on, (and still need to clear), but man...
I cant do anymore $15,000 helicopter rides.
A guy my age at work said to me about MX, "thats a young mans sport". But I love it and dont consider myself to be (feel) young.
He rides a StreetGlide.
Maybe I'm just being a whiny bitch and should STFU and ride.
