+1 for parking lot screwing around!
Last year I set myself a goal of spending 10 minutes at the end of each ride just trying some silly parking lot skills, like wheelies, nosepicks, etc. I didn't really think I was improving much, but it was fun. Then this fall some things just "clicked" and I started getting actually good at some of those things. Started being able to do some nosepick turns on the trail, and trackstanding and hopping sideways to set up moves. It is super fun and really gratifying!
Hopefully I keep it up this year and it translates to some trail manuals, which have been my white whale since I looped out at high speed coming down Indian River Drive!
