WI_Hedgehog 375 Posted Tuesday at 03:47 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:47 PM (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 Tuesday at 03:59 PM by WI_Hedgehog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Without muscle memory you can not have safe awareness!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tawpie 358 Posted Tuesday at 09:18 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:18 PM 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 post Share on other sites
5Cauac 5 Posted Tuesday at 09:41 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:41 PM @ 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 post Share on other sites

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