Phil H Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Mates make alot of difference when your riding:If you have someone shouting 'Go on! You can do it!' and congratulating you when you suceed it really puts you in the frame of mind to ride well.Vice Versa putting off can have a massive effect to. I wanted a go on my mates bike (mine was out of action) so I said to him 'you have been riding all day, your too tired, your falling apart' Low and behold he fell apart Couldn't do anything!Agree? Disagree? What are your views?Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newb Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) I agree, but sometimes encouragment puts you off, concentrating really well,and you hear someone scream "GO ON!" it shocks me. So i just get on with it, the other people are usualy riding or waiting for them to try and do what i just did.A bit of encouragement goes a long way... Lewis...

CBProductions Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 It's very rare that encouragement does much for me but putoff's do effect me. I have a little zone in my head that I jump into when I know im going to do a move or a jump or something along the adrenalin lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say i'm about to sidehop, i'm just getting 'into the zone' and my mate goes 'You can do it' or something..it puts me off, then I don't go for it.Making it harder to go for it the next time...

loffa Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 When TRA does ex. a gap and dont make it i always says : "Neil T. would do that on first atempt!"And then TRA always make it I've found the same way of thinking to work well. Ie when I'm going for a sidehop that is big for me I always tend to think that TRA would jump over the wall I can't get onto, and I can't be so much worse than him... works always.

*BOOTHY* Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I don't really like it when people shout 'Go on you can do it' it some times puts me off as i dont often like people watching me and if i dont do it i feel embarrased infront of the people that were encouraging me.Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinold Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I agree because i ride my best when i get encouraged by friends but to some extent i can get distracted when people shout out things. I also find that listening to music is a good form of encouragement as it helps me concentrate a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_travis Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 only person i tend to listen to when riding is damon (when i do see him), if he pushes me then ill usually think about it (that doesnt mean ill do it) he encourages me alot. however in aberdeen there is alot of piss taking so its not really putting me off the move its more im in hysterics because of how funny the banter is. then ill go do that move in a minute.meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
