| I need to print that out and study it!
I fiond that things like that only work if you make them become second nature. if you have to think about it then its too late.
I one had a Skoda Estelle(!!) We came over the brow of a hill and there were a queue of cars in the road where there shouldnt have been! I hit the brakes and the front wheels locked up. Luckilly the camber of the road dragged us into the kerb rather than into the back of a car but it was my own fault for not getting off the brakes and pumping the pedal.
Well i went over and over that incident in my mind for quite a few weeks. Then a while later the same thing happened. Car infront pulled up a bit quick, i braked and front wheels locked (no weight on the front of a Skoda you see), well without even thinking about it i took my foot off the pedal and pumped it and i stopped with no drama.
I tray and do the same with biking. If i go into a corner a bit quick and dont brake, i just lean it some more and look where i want to go. This has become instinctive for me. I guess its what they call a conditioned reflex.  |
