135: Why You Should Constantly Seek Out New Riding Spots! | Dirt Shed Show
Should we constantly be on the hunt for new places to ride? We all love our classic riding spots, knowing every turn, root, rock, jump and line, but do we limit ourselves by being creatures of habit? If we were to constantly ride in the same place, would we become less adaptable to different surfaces, levels of grip and onsighting new tracks? After a trip to Poland, a location he's never visited, Rich is chatting through the theories with Fergus.
