Here's to...

Learning something new every time you ride. That has been a goal for me for the last few years. Everytime I get on my bike, I learn something. It could be really small, like putting foot out further on my peg, just to see what difference that makes. It could be learning switch-footed hang-fives to switch steam and getting my foot around back to roll cross-legged.

It is really motivating to be able to come away from every session with something to think about and anticipate for the next session. I think that is a big part of why I have really stepped up the tricks I do. I never thought I would be doing some of the tricks I am starting to get now. Seriously. I have always been somewhat good (not trying to be arrogant), but I was always a few steps behind the better riders. These days, I don't really care, I just want certain tricks.

And I am getting them and more. My advice; try something different every session and then use what you experienced to ponder the possibilities until the next time you get over your pegs.
