I don't think that many can "gain Flow" whenever they want, most experience "Chance Flow" mostly for a myriad of reasons - for me it's that I think too much, I analyse and think about the "what ifs" etc, but when I can just turn the brain off and just think about the technique of riding, it's then when it happens. I'll never forget my first ride on a 29er back in 2007, that ride I definitely experienced Flow so many times, just wasn't thinking much, just enjoying the ride and the fact that 29ers just are for me, one particular moment was going over a crest into a corner that I forgot was there, braked hard AF, back wheel came up and I just steered through the corner on the front, "slow motion" as hell, insane feeling and this on some WTB Nano's when I was accustomed to 26" Kenda Nevegals grip, didn't add up.
