Ride it like you stole it

Don't fall off
grum, best applied when you're learning something new.

''What could possibly go wrong''
I often tell myself this when confronted with a new scary challenge.
One which makes me hit anything scary:
'What's the worst that can happen?'
🙂
"GRRRRAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!" gets me up and over those little steep bits
An ex of mine when rock-climbing chanted the mantra, "falling off is not an option, falling off is not an option." Probably applicable equally to MTBing (especially as I had my first proper 'off' on this bike at the weekend).
Don't brake. You only ever crash when you're braking.
Only one more hill 'til lunchtime...
"WFO" i.e Wide F*****g Open,
"Keep her lit"
"If in doubt, flat out"
Finally this one isn't reserved just for biking: "If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right" Henry Ford.

When it gets a little 'busy' and I start to look 3 ft in front of my front wheel, makes me look waaaay further ahead

Repeated when long gruelling hill climbs in granny or SS mode.

Ride, don't slide.

'Foot out flat out'
You go where you look
'Pain is temporary', helps when I really need to dig deep when racing or when I'm going to do something stupid. Thanks Lance 🙂
"There are only two types of mountain bikers; those who have just crashed, and those who are going to crash"
Some people seem to fit into both camps though 🙂
"Dominate your equipment" is the best i've heard from a guide in Spain.This was at the top of the last descent of the trip,he wasn't too amused when we repeated said quote after he stacked it half way down!
what're you going to do - eat me?
^ 😆
its just geography, it can be overcome.
Do it allready!
Go big or go home.
For once in your life stop being rubbish.
More brakes!
Whats the worst that can happen?
FFS!!!

Pain is just weakness leaving the body.
It's not uphill, it's just downhill preparation.
If you catch me, you can have me.

'Never whistle with a mouthful of blancmange'
So very few people in this thread can ride then....
+1 for 'speed is your friend'
although I seem to have to re-learn this every time I get to any decent trails.

i.e. legs apart like John Wayne - it's politer to shout down the trail after a woman than 'keep your legs open'.
"see you in hospital"
"who gives a **** what other people think?"
fooooooooooookkkiiiiiiiinnnnnnneeeeeeeelllllllll
John Wayne!
Thanks for the tip. A friend of mine is always hitting her knees off the top tube but never know how to tell her politely other than 'you really need to work on your attack position'
it's bike riding not war
When your friend shows you his favourite trail, don't try to smoke him on your first run down it, because there's a reason he slowed down just before the blind turn.
"Don't get cocky, kid" [Han Solo]
As a reminder to self once I've just cleaned something I don't, to keep my *hit together for the next section 😕
If in doubt................. bottle out.
I ride alone a lot and so far it has saved me from spending anytime in hospital.
