Lessons Learned
Link to original page on Vimeo. So much to keep learning. I put this video together of a couple of "moments" i experienced yesterday. Normally, I don't have many issues riding (if any). While this video may appear as if I'm a complete newbie, it is just a highlight of how necessary it is to be attentive at all times and when possible...practice the little things as much as possible. Everything happened on the same day... Last futzed with by hybridkid; May 21st, 2012 at 08:02 PM. |

I think it's great you are learning from you boo boo's. I think it's even better that you posted them so others may learn as well. Well done KJ.

I find myself just popping a few fingers off the left handle bar if it's not safe to let go. I also don't really look at the other rider, just peripheral vision..

Cool little video! I like that you kept it short and interesting. Love the last 2 tracks you played. You nicely mixed all the different music tracks together: I barely noticed the transitions.
Noobie mistakes! I've done all of them before. I do them all less now. I've never had such a close call with a car stopped up ahead. That was crazy close!! OMFG there's a baby squirrel outside my window slowly hoping between trees! (easily distracted) |
