WHY LOOK FOR GRIP?

The reason this is so important is because the less you have to think about, the easier it is to link a trail together. By distilling thousands of irrelevant decisions down into a handful of positive ones, you can go faster without having to process more info. If anything you’ll actually feel calmer riding this way. It might even change how you describe sections to your mates because you’ll be thinking about technical sections in a completely different way. “The horrible section of off-camber roots” will now become “the grip point that keeps you high on the trail”. This in itself is an absolute game-changer.
