GRIP POINTS

As you start going faster, things will become hectic very quickly. There is a lot more coming at you, with no real time to reflect between one decision and the next. This is why it’s so important to filter out all of the negative aspects of the trail and really try and focus on the positive ones. We call these positive features grip points, and it’s a great way of giving yourself less to think about while negotiating complicated trails. If you’re looking for the grip provided by the positive features, then you’ll start to completely forget about the negative parts like roots, rocks, exposure or gaps. All you’ll be looking for is the next grippy bit of trail and going from one positive feature to the next.
