[QUOTE="Red 250, post: 1302408, member: 87503"] I have been back at riding for about 7 months. After an almost 30 year layoff. I am 50 this year. I ride mostly woods but on a track once in a while. My problem is basically I feel I am not connecting like I should be. I have improved but a just feel like I have lost a step. And I want to regain that feeling of confidence that I had when I was young and just went balls out all the time. I never fell back then or if I did I just dont remember getting hurt a lot LOL. I ride with my nephew who is 20 and a good rider very fast and just bombs through a lot of stuff that seems to give me trouble. I just feel as if I am very unbalanced sometimes like I'm not really connected with what the bike is doing. Any suggestions with ways to help?? I love the sport and really enjoy the time I get to spend with my nephew. We have a great time and I don't want to have to stop just because I fall now and again. But I don't like getting hurt either LOL I have already broken my arm right below the wrist( both bones 5 months ago) and this past weekend I fell hard coming down a steep incline. No major damage but I got some good trail rash that is pretty painful. And I hit my hip pretty hard so there a big bruise as well. I use my riding gear every time I ride. So even though my skin in still on the trail no broken bones or anything serious. Any help with things I can do mentally as well as physically to improve my riding so I can feel confident again would be great Thanks............................Red [/QUOTE]
