Phil H Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Unless its a flesh eating virus from the tropics tell it to f*** off and ride regardless. The riding will actually increase your blood flow and improve your red a white cell production... the increase in white ones will aid in getting rid of your virus quicker.So if it feels hard to ride like you normally do just go out and have a play with the technique on smaller gaps than normal, you'll still be able to ride and you'll get better quicker.Riding is good for many reasons If you can't bend down to get things off the floor because your glands feel like they are being ripped out and all your muscles ache and you get a headache from walking up a couple flights of stairs then riding is not the way forward man!Its savage and the worst thing is im barely ever ill, took my first day of school in over 5 years on tuesday.... and now this!Ontop I've bust 2 maggy leavers in a couple of weeks so im stuck for that atm.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafan Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I find that I stay really far back from the edge, mostly because I do big pedal kicks, but depending on the size of your kick and how your body moves, you have to find the right spot for youExpriment with different positions and sizes of kicks to find the one you are most comfortable with Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Interesting theory Its my way of curing lots of things. If you can't bend down to get things off the floor because your glands feel like they are being ripped out and all your muscles ache and you get a headache from walking up a couple flights of stairs then riding is not the way forward man!Its what i always do if ever i feel like that. Does the trick for me despite being MAJORLY hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt24. Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 What a lot of people don't do properly and this really helped me get those big gaps sorted is pre-load, learn to throw your weight back and down before you gap and spring out, use your legs and arms as much as possible, a lot of people rely on a kick but you get bigger distances with you body not the kick. relax youself and become supple, try exagerating all your movement until the 6 foot gaps become easy then start trying further once they are done with ease.
