3 ft closer to my new years resolution
February 4, 2008
So just last month I was 1ft closer to my New Years Resolution. After this weekend’s ride, I’m 3ft closer to my new years resolution. 
In all honesty,when I first started doing the drops, from the time my wheels left the plank till the landing, my mind was in a complete blank! It’s funny how your body just automatically takes over! After a couple of times, you’re mentally more in control and make the adjustment to make your landing a tiny bit more comfortable.
But when you move to the next level, you’re back to square one again. I had that moment of blankness again, now it’s a matter of getting in control again.
3 ft really didn’t seem that intimidating! But still, it took me a good 20mins of procrastinating before I attempted it. I must admit, I felt alot more confident with Wayne, William and Ian cheering me on from the landing area. Thanks boys, you’re the best!
Wayne forced me to use my full face helmet too, after much persuasion I gave in (Didn’t want to look like a poser). He made a good point though, THIS should be the time I wear the helmet, because it’s NOW in the beginning where I’ll make the most mistakes!
It was a cheap one we bought from cyclogy in camo grey. I thought it looked funny, because the mouth guard was so long it looked like a BEAK!!! Can’t complain, as long as it does the job.
Now to check on my new years resolution:
1.
Attempt the 1 ft drop at Gangsa(COMPLETED)
2.Attempt the 3 ft drop at Gangsa(COMPLETED)
3. Attempt the 5 ft drop at Gangsa
4. Blog more often (I currently have 20 posts in drafts which i just haven’t got round to clearing. 20 posts!?!)
5. Spend more time with the family
6. Go to the driving range more often
7. Run more often
8. Charity engagement
9. Time managementand oh yeah how can any girl forget
10. Lose weight

william: Excuse me, Mr chan, you’re the mad cyclist FLYING off the 3 ft. I don’t see why you can’t do the 5. The only reason why you’re not doing it is because you need a helmut and a downhill bike. Which you can borrow for sure….. I’m sure you can do it….
wp: don’t be stupid… you know where u stand…. just don’t do it until you get your FF and you’re wearing guards all over. Don’t want anything to happen to your handsome face.
