Posted 19/08/03 03:29 AM Share Posted 19/08/03 03:29 AM Only one thing to add, if I'm going for a Fast drive on the HWY here I don't just zoom up to top speed, rather I let the speed creep up to a point I'm comfortable with. Gradually ease the speed up and try to stay in your comfort zone (well near it at least...) Also: look way out ahead, the faster you're going the further away are the things that can get you in trouble......

I know that I use this in skiing, mountain biking and riding the motorbike. By being able to focus on a point further ahead, in the intermediate to long range depending on speed, you can reduce the number of inputs you need to make to stay on a set line, as well as giving you a lot more time to react to obstacles if need be.

Posted 19/08/03 03:50 AM Share Posted 19/08/03 03:50 AM Yeah trumpy,that's what I meant, you put it far more eloquently In hangliding we're also taught not to look ath the ground (or trees, powerlines ect) as you tend to hit what your looking at.

Yep, your taught about that at Motorcycle school too. You look at the tree instead of around the corner, then your in big trouble.
