Fully agree with your post. The more I focus on "fast", the slower and rougher I ride. In fact, this time last year, I rode with that mentality on a night where I should have listened to my mental state better because I was definitely not "feeling it". The end result was a badly broken leg that I'm just now getting back to using properly. Those of us that aren't racers really don't need more articles on how to be faster, and more articles about flow and how to get more fun out of a trail. That is why we're here right? Been riding for 30 years now and fun has always been the number 1 reason I ride. Love the article Lee as it really addresses the thing that slows our progression once our base skill levels have been acheived.
