I did an 8 week MTB skills class with Blair Lombardi (She's coached people like Marla Streb), and she advised singing during technical parts of a ride. Somehow singing occupies one part of your brain that you don't want interfering with your balance/reactions/etc.
I try to get a good song going during a technical downhill. Right now, it's that Love Generation song (Bob Sinclair). When it's "Lola" I know things are not going well for me.
Just have fun out there, you guys. It will be a great ride!!!
