Letting go of expectations leads to more flow and progression on our mountain bikes! Whether it's climbing incredibly difficult technical trails without 'dabbing' (foot down) or confidently riding steep rock slabs, being centered on the bike and in our minds is the key to ultimate confidence, flow and fun on all rides!
This week Dan and Sage discuss seeing the infamous "White Line" trail in Sedona, AZ. How riding with no expectations leads Jeff Winsor to an amazing 'no dab' climb up the notoriously difficult National Trail in Phoenix, AZ. When is Too Slow actually harder on steep tech? The guys examine the importance of being perfectly centered on the bike, jumping hardtails vs. full suspension, and the right budget for upgrading an older mountain bike. As always, there's a healthy dose of gratitude, appreciation and mindset tips for riding your best ride and living your best life! Thanks for listening!
