Exactly why I say to read, learn, and apply!

Some may think I am stupid for doing this, but occasionaly, I will go by the local school where they teach the MSF course and go through the course. I practice obsticle evasion, panic stopping, controlled stopping while in corners, tight turns, etc......

Practice for those "moments" and it becomes automatic to make the right choice when sh!t happens!

I used to do that too. I used to work right down the road from where they taught the course. Almost once a week I would go and run through some of the courses. Pretty fun, and you'd be surprised how much you pick up, and implant into you brain just by DOING the exercises instead of only reading them.

Sucks now, cause my company moved, and I'm way too far away from it now.

Edit: And you'd be surprised how many other riders do the same thing too. I remember on more than one ocasion there being 5 or more riders there doing the same thing. Good way to meet some good riders who aren't squids.
