Again, I'm very happy with today's workout. Since I'm having trouble with the "Going Down" part of trials, I once again dedicated some time to gaps. I'm still afraid of dropping heights higher than 60cm even though I've already managed to do 80cm at one point. I guess I will have to do drops for a very long time before I'm comfortable with them.

Yesterday, I had some time to read through the "Static Hop" section of Trashzen.com and found out that I've been doing it wrong the entire time. The main point is to get your shoulders beyond the handlebars and push up really hard. This is what I did today and it felt way better. I came out at 64cm which is my personal best so far. I'm confident that I'll be doing higher heights very soon.

The rock section is still a pain in the ***. I could actually do pedal kicks up to the fifth rock but as there's only a tiny space to land on w/o the rear wheel losing traction, I tried to do it differently with only a little more success.
