High‑speed trails are my playground, so I treat every twist like a potential record break. I run a mental script—“If the line gets tight, shift hard, if the rock pops, hit the brakes hard.” I keep a finger on the throttle, but I’ve got a backup plan for every move: a quick check of the line, a ready foot on the brake, and a mental cue to stay loose. The thrill stays alive when you’re never fully locked in; you’re always ready to sprint or cut it short if the vibe shifts. That’s how I keep the rush alive while still knowing when to hit the brakes.

You got it—wind’s the invisible roadblock. I’ll toss it in the script: “Check the wind, then run.” Keeps the line tight, the heart pounding, and the edge just right. Let’s hit the trail and make those gusts feel like a partner, not a spoiler.
