This is as I posted on Epic in the Ah HA moment thread:

Mine:
Looking ahead!
I finally figured out that my biggest struggle when I started to ski bumps is looking ahead. When I'm cruising, not a problem. When I'm in the trees, not a problem, but when I get into bumps I start to over think, look down, reach back and just lose it!
At ESA Jeb Said, "Look Ahead"
Weems said, "pick someone you trust and follow them"

At bumpphest, I was fatigued after a couple of solid days of spring skiing, but I did it, tired legs and all. The bumps at Kton were unlike anything I'd ever seen. I sucked, but when Phil or Paul said follow me, I did better,(not great just better). I wasn't looking at the bumps, I was looking at the back of Phil or Paul.

Where the Ah Ha! comes in............
Mt biking. The one thing I know when I'm in the tight trees is, Don't look at the tree, look at your trail target. While riding last weekend, I said "AH HA! I get through the trees because I am not looking at them but past them!!!"

Same with bumps. When I looked at the back of a leader, I was looking past the bumps so they weren't an obstacle!


What's your Ah Ha Moment!?
