I think my riding goal for this year will be to compete in three DH races, and to not be last in category in at least one of them. I did one race two years ago, two races last year, so hopefully three this year.
Strategy for it:
\- More time on the DH bike, and hopefully a few more days at the bike park
\- Better fitness/strength. I think it is the main thing holding me back. Push-ups, pull ups, squats and planking every second day (Thanks Cam!).
Supplemental goal... I also suck at wheelies so I will also take on the 10 metre challenge. My real goal is proper manuals, but I think wheelies are easier to fart around and practice while riding with the kids. Balance point has always been my issue.
