Look Where You Want To Go!

[TWWaffle]

This is one of the most important things that I drilled into my wife's head when she first started riding with me. I still remind her too because I've seen a lot of newer and somewhat seasoned riders target fixate and then BOOM.



So as a reminder to myself and everyone here, look where you want to go! Like the instructors in the MSF class would yell out "turn your head!" lol.

absolutely, I've seen it happen to mates and I've had it happen to me. Best thing to do in an incident is look where your escape route is!

Great advice for sure.

Then there are a few times where a rider has to give that car approaching from the side street the stink eye while the bike continues traveling straight.

Target fixation!!

Amount of times I have hit a rut in Motocross due to looking at it or hitting the ONLY rock on the track!!! Grrrr!!!

I put it in one of my vlogs as a tip for beginners taking their module 1 tests. Really helps with the U turn.

Where the head goes the body will follow.

same in motogymkhana!

Haha I would never be able to remember which cones to go around!!!

it isn't too hard, practice makes perfect, would love to have a go at competing in it rather than the experience days I have done so far!

I almost fixated into a curb this one time when I was turning LOL...

R-rated, yessir. That happens at every intersection and those cross streets like you mentioned. I’m always weary of people and give them that rotating head swivel check real quick.

Sounds like something I would do
