Anonymous poll: When was the last time you practiced a mountain biking skill?
The results may help guide future newsletter content
Knowing the practice frequency of the audience of riders here might help guide what I create. The needs and interests of frequent practitioners like me arguably differ from infrequent practitioners or those who’ve never practiced.
So help me out, puhlease.
No one, including me, will know how you answered.
After you take the poll, consider chiming in with a comment that explains how your situation affects your practice frequency.

I agree with Michael H - I use every ride to practice - whether it is climbing a difficult/technical switchback, going over obstacles or down steep/loose section, etc - I just ride, but try and learn something from every ride, the whole time, improving all the time.
While I had two practice specific sessions on bike this week, I find almost every time I get on my bike is an opportunity for practise. Sometimes it’s just conscious focus on a particular element of form while riding a trail segment, sometimes it’s stopping to session a tricky bit a dozen times. This week though, one session was spending an hour in the parking lot practicing wheelies, manuals, cornering and hopping. Another required a two hour drive to an indoor bike park to session jump lines.
