After watching a couple of young maniacs anihilate themselves off a BIG jump over and over I said to one "You must be sore" "Yeah" he said "but it was soooo much fun!" - a LOT to be said for that attitude - isn't that why we all got hooked on pencil thin lines and face shots to start with? So what if I'm riding like crap, can't get a clean run or the snow is like concrete - a day on the hill is still better than most other stuff.
On days when it seems easier not to go, I personally poke my FOMO to animate my ass into action - what if they closed the road just after I get first chair....
