As I've mentioned here before, I start riding with my butt on the saddle. That is how I've rolled from the beginning because it was the only way I could persuade my body to do it

I learned this weekend's mountain biking camping trip that I REALLY need to learn how to at least "scooter" my bike to start it, even if I can't start in a more traditional way. If I don't then I will start having significant problems getting started when I graduate to more advanced trails, and it is likely already giving me a problem.

It is a mental think, and I KNOW it. I understand the concept, but when it comes to doing it my body just freezes.

Am I the only one with this problem? I assume it is a fear of falling...which frankly I shouldn't have any more as often as I've fallen on the trails

So, one of my goals this week is to take one of my bikes, probably the mountain bike, out to some grass or parking lot and work on this. I've tried this before and failed...
