WI_Hedgehog Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) That's quite a lot of disjoint things you covered...which I guess could be inferred from the title since muscles don't have memory... Why is there a backpack on the side of the road??? Edited February 23, 2021 by WI_Hedgehog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without muscle memory you can not have safe awareness!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawpie Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I’d guess that without “muscle memory” it’d be basically impossible to do much of anything... take a breath, stand up, walk, hit a ball with a stick. The problem may be in the exact term... the muscles don’t remember things like what happened yesterday, but they run on autopilot for most of the things we do on a regular basis. And they get trained by repetition, learning to deal with the many inputs the body provides so the brain doesn’t have to manage the minutiae of exactly how much pressure is needed on this toe at this body lean, at this speed, in this shoe, with the ankle at this angle, knee at that, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Cauac Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 @ GoGeorgeGo, Great vid and all very good advise. I enjoy watching you vids and come to think of it, I don't think i'm subscribed. Shame on me! You should make a video on the dangers of ignoring fatigue. Every single bail out or fall I have personally experienced has been the result of ignoring foot or leg fatigue. Off-road riding will bring this on more frequently for new riders but long distances will do it also. P.S. Now subscribed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only wobbles i get are always after a crazy long ride and my legs turned to jelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
