I'd love to be a whole lot better at stoppies and manuals. Neither would really add much to my riding, but they are [i]rad to teh power of sick[/i].

Cornering and concentrating would be my two biggest I think. Stoppies would be a good thing too.

Drop offs!

Lost my confidence about two years ago after a off that hurt like hell.

Had no problem with them in the past, might not of cleared them all with elegance, but never had a issue with them.

Now any drop off that you cannot roll over I just chicken out on.

None bike related - Sea fishing, why is it that I can go fishing with friends, use exactly the same rig setup and bait and fish the same area but never and I mean never catch at the same rate my colleagues do?

Where do I start..................

Seriously a bit more confidence on technical down hill, probably as Mart says (continually) "get out on different trails", he is a wise sage

Just all around skill in my case.

My riding buddy rides a fully rigid bike and he's much fitter than me but makes it all look easy and effortless. When I follow him through the trees he leaves me for dead because I just can't go as fast as he can through tight singletrack!

Not braking in corners and manuals.

Non bike wise, although it's usually on bike stuff or going biking, I wish I was better at resisting spending money I don't have.

Kick jumps (think that's the right term). Particularly the one someone's built up on BKB and also the jump between end of yoghurt pots and the start of telegraph row

Number 1 would definitely be reading a trail/looking ahead
Carrying speed through corners when there isn't a berm
Larger drops when you can't spot the landing because it is so steep
Wheelies, coasting manuals, bunnyhopping to height
Trials
Controlling the bike when airbourne
Dirt Jumping
Generally riding like a goddess

(well, you did ask)
