It's all in your head.

Visualization and mental imagery of your line can truly boost your riding performance and consistency on the trail. More over, the intents focus on the next twenty feet of trail can truly clear your minds when things are weighing you down. You have tens of thousands of thoughts every single day. Your mind simply won’t shut up. Mountain biking has the amazing ability to keep you in the "Now". I’ve found this unintentional focus to be very powerful. Your mind becomes at ease and you find yourself in "The Zone" and all your thoughts of the day or what you have to do when you get home are gone. Riding uses all of your senses to really feel your current state of being and your potentially hazardous surroundings. Let go of the past, forget about the future, feel that you are alive right now!
