What do you think about when you ride?

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I think of metal music, and sometimes talk to my self

CHICKS DIG SCARS

[Pro400EXC]

i think about....umm



hmmm..

think here





Umm My Riding?

I guess not everyone thinks about there riding or what lines they should take and what not....

[sakirocket28]

i think about country music and not throwing my girlfriend off the back haha.

[zeppelin]

when im doing mx or something really fast im 100% on riding. but when im doing trails or kinda cruising down a long straight i think about all kinds of stuff...

[Mxjunkie]

I think about my family now and then so I dont try anything dumb I cant do.. cause we all know hardcore XC guys arent too good at mx even though we'd like to be lol

[red4r]

i think about what im gonna do later..wat im gonna get to eat...sum rock music....if i crash i hope my dad will buy me a new front end lol... random chit...

[Quad18star]

Whenever I ride now , I'm always thinking ...." Is someone gunna come flying over the next hill and hit me?"

But before , I'd focus on riding ..... or sometimes think about what needed to be ordered at work or think up strategies on how to promote an item !!!

[400exrules]

i constantly say to myself, WWBBD? "what would Bill Ballance do?"......and then i hammer down lol

[LTZ400rider]

it depends, but when im in unknown territory i always think about how much it would suck to break down miles away from the truck, and have the person in front of u keep goin and not notice ur behind. usually im thinkin about keepin up with the group and pushin my self balls to the walls

when im around my local stompin grounds i usually just think about tearin chit up and most the time just hang out and talk in the woods

alot of times i talk to myself and think about my problems

when i cut my grass i always talk to myself

same

I think about rock music and/or how long can I hold this wheelie and stuff like that.

[xtullyx16]

i dunno.. i only trail ride but when i ride it really helps me relax... and gives me a thrill at the same thing..... i think about all the **** going on around... ex g/f **** and stuff...

If its hard fast riding that I am not used to, im maping out the trail ahead in my mind so i turn right times around rocks and trees and such.


otherwise... anything goes :devil:

[4punksdad]

we trail ride most times..........and with a group of riders with different skill levels. My thoughts usually are what trails I can hit without causing the inexperienced riders difficulty or injury since I normally lead the group..............and I always think about the guy directly behind me.

[DieselBoy]

i think about the engine and what could eff up next :macho

[Donkey1]

I think about keeping up with 4punks without falling off.

[rbgnwa45]

I think about nothing when I'm riding. I think about the task at hand. When I'm cutting the lawn at 2mph that's another story. I usually have my mp3 player with me, and I pretty much just think about the randomist chit you could think of, and I don't know why. and yes I do talk to myself :p It goes something like this...

So what are you doing?
Im cuttin the lawn
Why?
Cuz I was told to
Your getting paid for it!
Hell yeah!
put it in 5th to get it done faster
right on

[JRP]

when im practcing on my track for mx, im all concentrated on just riding hard, and pushing myself. When i cruise around with other friends and when we do wheelies im thinking about whatever. hah

[trick250r]

when i race MX i just psych myself up, think about lines, think about the g/f and family, but i cant think about wrecking. i think it was jon guetter who said, i dont look at a jump as it could go wrong, i look at it as how it can go right... or something like that.

[MX MaNiAc 06]

"I hope i make it, i hope i make it! Oh chit!!!"

and when im at a racing pace I concentrate 95% on the task at hand and 5% on how out of shape I'm in. and after about hour and forty five minutes its the other way around.

that reminds me i need to hit the gym tonight.

[EvilJester400EX]

If I didn't kill all of my brain cells, I'd tell you.

[bwamos]

I'm usually thinking.. dang, I really need to upgrade to a 450.. lol.

[nosliw]

i always think about stuff i could buy and add to help my riding.....

also think about stuff i can buy for the truck, quads, ect...

but first and foremost i try not to crash

[KWAD GAWD]

I think about picking good lines, and having good shift points. Isn't that what eveyone thinks about?

[DVXchic]

Same here, trail riding sucks around here, too much traffic.

Last fall my boyfriend and i were flying through some usually empty trails, came around a corner that had 2 options, i took one and jeff took the other, he almost slammed into a 4x4 that the hunter decided to park right on the trail while he was lined up to shoot across the trail into a field, Duhh, We don't trail too much anymore, race bikes suck in the trails anyway.

[honduh440]

i always tell myself over and over to breathe nice and consistant and to be 100% relaxed in the air and on straights. then think about lines and ur competition

[trick250r]

i dont think about the competition... screws me up

[Honda TRX250ex]

I think about girls to tell you the truth. Riding clears my mind. Somtimes i think of what to do next when somthing is comming up on a trail like shifting gears or leaning and stuff about that but most of the time girls.

[RaptorRacer45]

Usually just sing and play songs in my head........talk to myself for momentum and keep goin the best i can:macho

[fatkid400]

Usually I think about what line Im "supposed" to be taking but somtimes its "oh god this is going to hurt" or just the plain old"OW OW OW OW"!!! Or the 1 everyone knows "OH THIS IS GOING TO COST ALOT"!!!!

[400exrules]

me too, but for me its, WWCBD. "what would Chrish Borich Do?

[DieselBoy]

Little off topic, but... do any of you worry your going to crash when you're on the trails cause of someone flyn WOT in opposite direction over a hill or somethin? that worries me, i really dont want a head on collision with another quad cause that would be friggin painful.

Or am I the only one??:p

[Honda#4]

when im jumping i just clear my head and think about jumping cus u cant be thinking about stuff or something gonna come down on you.and i think about flying like a bird sounds dumb but it feels so good.

[suck my pipe]

um sounds kinda weird but when i get real serious, I think like the other half of my brain takes over or sumthin. i'll just be focusing and picking lines and trying to go fast as i can and all of a suden ill get to a point and ill snap back to reality. NO CLUE what just happened, i'll like be off thinking about somthing that has nothing to do with riding or where i'm at!

If any body else dose this please post, i think its kind of weird, never wrecked when this happens, and always get where i was planing on going. I also do it in the car and on my street bike. must be safe thoe as i said ive never wrecked or lost control. It's not like sleeping just like day dreaming and my brain thinks for it self!

[trx400exxracer]

well ussually the person in front of me that doesnt want to move after I yelled I start talking about there momma and then rear end them

[Moto250X_Rider]

i don't think...i get in the zone and ride it like i stole it......
that and i tell myself it sucks to be bolted to a hospital bed for 3 weeks.....bin there...done that...and rather not go back...so it make me be more intune to what i'm doing cause i don't need another fake knee cap lol

[Pappy]

Top 10 things pappy thinks about when he is riding....


10. Do I have enough gas

9. Do I still have the keys to my truck

8. Did I stash my wallet good enough

7. Who am I kidding, I'd bone her anytime

6. If Pamala Anderson wasnt such a skank id bone her silly

Repeat.

[250r rider 88]

clear my mind of all things except rifing what im doing, what im gonna do , what line, etc. this is how i relieve my stress and get away from it all i just like the free fealing it gives me

i also agree with Pappy' s # 1 thing lol

[Punk'd]

- I attempt to sing rock music.. (To myself or Quietly.. haha)
- G/F and what she'd do to me if I got hurt or did something stupid. :scary: .. (Scary to think about)



Other than that.. I mostly think about my riding.:scary:

[Yfz450dan]

before a new jump,and i want to clear it ithink,"i gota do this,IGOTTA DO THIS",

once i cleared it and move on , its all just being happy... "YYYEEAA BOYYYY!!!!"

[Yfz450dan]

also at the kids track little kid fall down alot,right after the jump.so then i think...

I do that some times, mostly it in the car. I use to drive 30 miles one way to school then work and when i got there I was like wow how did i get here. "this ant right"

[rbgnwa45]

Something must have happened to my friend's brain one night when he drove his atc to pickup a pizza about 5 km away. He said he zoned out driving down the road and ended up 10 km past the house on the way back :huh Sometimes I meditate while riding.

[m_townsgreatest]

I think Can I make that? If I dont make it will I be able to get off or ride away after the crash?

I also think of all the BS in my life when I'm trail riding and then I leave it all on the trail.

[400exrider99]

the trails im riding and i talk to myself on the trails alot
