Concentration

One element I forgot to discuss when I recently covered the art of mountain biking is concentration. A rider can't never be too much focused, and there's absolutely no room for daydreaming, chatting or watching the scenery while riding.

If there's a lapse in paying attention, and while it last, a gravel patch, a big rock, a twisted stump or a large hole can get in the way of the front wheel, a fall will ensue and falls from a mountain bike are almost always unforgiving!
