Say "Yes" to Progression! How to Simplify Challenging MTB Features [RNL S2, Ep 1]

Sage's visit to Arizona and all the amazing trails in the southwest are just further proof that anything is possible on and off our mountain bikes.  The boys talk about how to break down complicated features, jumps and drops on the trail in order to gain confidence for that important 100% commitment moment!  We are not who we thought we were... we're better! And so are you! 

Ride & Laugh Season 2 kicks off with tips that you can take to the trails on your next ride!  Dan & Sage discuss in detail the mountain bike mindset techniques that allow them to flow through features, jumps and drops that may seem frightening or intimidating.  Let the ride be what it will be!  Stay present, stack wins, stay positive and have fun!  Flow on the bike, Flow in life!  

MTB Gratitude of the Week:

Sage: Dan, Family & Arizona Friends!  - Sage is grateful for his trip to Arizona and the hospitality of Dan, Dan's family and all the Arizona riders!  Further evidence to say yes to life. Things can work out better than we could ever imagine! 

Dan: Sage’s Friendship - Dan is so grateful for Sage's visit, friendship, positivity and progression.  All the rides, conversations, meals and road-trips.  There's something special about connecting with good friends and growing as people and riders together.  

MTB Tip of the Week:

Break features down piece by piece.  Several features or jumps in a row may seem daunting to our minds.  So break it up into sections, get comfortable, build confidence and allow your mind to relax.  Stack wins, build confidence slowly, give yourself grace and see what happens!
