Si-man Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Try new things, go out with the intention of dialing a new trick.Go out with a mate or family member, get them to support you while you ride, see if they can spot any faults your doing (may not ride, but might be able to see little things that may help you out)Stuff like that really.Also, I used to find that a fast style of music used to make me want to ride and do things better.

Si-man Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Another thing, dont ride when you feel unwell because of lack of strength etc. Riding will make it worse.Learn to trust your bikeAnger seemed to help me alot, riding used to calm me down and I used to actually ride!Maybe thats why im always angry now, quitting riding... who knows!

bonzojim Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 To keep motivated i watch Dvds of all the professional riders, and i get a new bike often aswell because getting a new bike always makes you want to ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stug45 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 if you can try a different spot. change components/new bike(i always get excited bout new things). find something boring to do then think about how much better riding is (e.g. working!)

Dave G. Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Watch some pro videos, and try new stuff, try to avoid riding the same place too many times, something that sometimes my friends and i do is to create short zones, that will push u to become a better rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtrials Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 1 thing is to prepair for each ride, so you dont have a really bad one, thats the worst thig for de-motivating yourself when you go out and cant do something you thought you had nailed the night before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
