Where did the "skills" go!

[mod03rmk800]

Anyone else just slowly start to unravel as the ride progresses? Start the day off feeling like a million bucks only to end at about $1.15. By mid day couldn't hold a sidehill, kept missing the boards, sled wanted to roll over on flat ground, could keep a straight line climbing......etc.
And NO there wasn't any funny stuff being digested.
Just a complete meltdown of confidence. Is there a support group for this syndrome?

I've notice the trees always seem to move faster towards the end of the day, bastages jump out from everywhere!

 

[Coxy]

Oooh yeah, at the beginning of the day, im pretty catlike for a fat kid! But after a day of thrashing through the tree's and crap, a guy seems to wind up in a bunch more nasty spots due to lack of rider input...

 

[wasatchrider]

yep happened to me at the end of the day i hit a tree a foot away from a steep trail and bent an a arm. a $150 dollar mistake

Forgot to replace the gas cap towards the end of the day--rolled the sled and lost most of the gas I put in the tank--on me

Actually, I am the opposite. I ride so much work out enough that I don’t really get fatigued that much. I usually wreck early in the day because I come outa the gate showing off and going big. By The end of the day I am usually soar from riding to hard earlier and therefore I turn into some what of a puse.

I'm good for about 20 minutes then it's like someone else is riding my sled, (not very well), and I'm just hanging on.

Sometimes at the end of the day it's just easier to go over. If it's smaller than a beer can in diameter, game on.

I kind of ride a curve.... first hour or so from the parking lot i'm taking it easy, tryin not to wreck too bad. Between 10am and lunch is when I'm the most dangerous... sled's warmed up and running well, i'm loosened up and not sore yet... most of the dumb things i've done happen around that time.

Afternoon I'm startin to get tired, start making simple mistakes that get me stuck.

Normally the opposite here, cold mornings make me want crawl back under the covers. By noon I'm pretty spooled. 3:00, wound so tight, I'm bullet proof

Could have something to do with what they call aging. I start out like I'm 35 and by 2 p.m. I feel like I'm 75. Cant understand it. (oh, BTW, I'll be 75 next Monday).

 

[adrenaline junkey]

Nope never experienced that I start out of the gates at about 5.00 and end up owing at the end of the day

 

[coyoteman]

a few weeks ago after a hard day of tearing it up with himark, i could not even stay on the sled.

 

[The Fourth Wolf]

I came home from my first real ride of the season thinking "Holy Sh##...I need to get back in shape"

So I started working out again. Push-ups, chin-ups, crunches and some stretching. I'm already noticing better stamina on rides.

 

[WakeGD]

This happened to me this past Saturday. Started out feeling great, then immediately blew a supercharger belt and it just went downhill from there.

Looks a lot like a Pecos traction aid....

 

[DRD]

I got the one in the pic. According to the break on the bumper I only missed dead center by about an inch.

its usually not to bad until something happens, first stuck of the day, wreck, or something breaks then thats when it usually tends to go down hill for me.

i'd have to agree on the smaller than a beer can rule on the trees, except ours isnt cuz were just tired at the end of the day. we like to go explore in unknown trees and this tends to lead to some pretty tight situations where ya kinda run out of options. last weekend a buddy musta forgot the rule cuz i turned around to see if he made it out of the trees and he was just a few feet in with about a 6 or 7 incher stickin out between his a-arm and belly pan.

I remember that day. I do believe it was right after lunch! lol. That was a tough one to get you out of!

 

[Mrs Snowrider]

I get really tired at the end of the day of bashing trees with the guys all day. Us girls just don't seem to have that upper arm strength the guys do!
