really happy that it actually made it all worthwhile when you ’ re used to beating your head against the wall a little bit trying to ride when it ’ s not the most pleasant out , but it just makes it all worthwhile .
You had told me at one time that the slippery stuff was kind of one of your weaknesses and that you really improved there . So technically , what did you do ?
It ’ s a little bit of everything . Just knowing when to use those techniques . I could do them in the past , but when the event would come around I would just basically almost throw it out the window and not be confident enough in my abilities in the mud to actually ride like I should . It ’ s just being patient , weighting the pegs more , moving your feet back on the pegs to get your weight further down and back . Being patient on those takeoffs and waiting to dig in for the traction at times . Just being really smooth and patient and just waiting out that grip because it doesn ’ t just come right away . You can ’ t just move your body forward and let the clutch out because you ’ ll just spin everywhere . The main thing is having confidence in those conditions . When it started raining in 2016 I totally fell apart . This year it started raining again and Ryan talked to me about staying positive . I ’ m just like , I ’ m going to stay positive and make the best of it and use the techniques that I ’ ve been working on for years and years . I guess it ’ s taken this long to actually be confident in my abilities to put it to the test when I actually needed . It was nice to see that pay off and be worthwhile .
