Hello go211! I just watched one of the most depressing movies EVER (I am Legend) tonight and so I thought I would write my first blog to distract myself from thinking about the last hour and forty minutes of sad, horrifying, hopelessness…I’m much more of a happy ending person.
So to get things started, I just won the first contest of the season! I worked through a lot, mentally, to get myself back to where I wanted to be for this contest…actually every early season seems to be the exact same. I practice, feel like I’m riding well, then watch video and go through a mini depression because what felt like GREAT riding and DECENT amplitude was in fact NOT amplitude, actually if there is such a thing as the OPPOSITE of amplitude that’s what I was! So I used my anger and embarrassment at the video from the previous night to really STEP IT UP the next day. But things don’t just flow that easily in life all the time, so the next night I went through the same song and dance; felt good, watched video, “OK I need to either change professions or really just let go of whatever I’m holding on to here!” Luckily for me things finally fell into place on contest day, this is also typical me, there just seems to be a switch that I flip when it’s really ON, I think it’s the adrenaline really, God I am such an adrenaline JUNKIE! Thanks for reading; I’m going to go jump out of an airplane now.
