点评:Joined a beginners mointain biking day course and kept a big secret...I havent ridden any type of push bike for 14 long years. I also cannot walk in a straight line or stand still without falling over (you think thats a joke, but its really really not)
I finished the day with no falls or injuries and feeling like I might actually be a cool person trapped inside a small unbalanced body.
Coach Colin was brilliant! He had all our backs, has the patience of a saint and made us feel super comfortable at being beginners in an area and hobby that has highly inflated egos that could potentially have you feeling annoying to those around you! He also liked pointing out to us that the people whizzing round that think they are super cool pros are in fact, not. We had a really fun time and I came away wanting to play again and maybe try out for the Olympics soon.
翻译:我参加了一个山地自行车入门一日课程,还藏着一个大秘密……我已经整整14年没骑过任何类型的自行车了。我甚至连直线走路都走不了,站着不动就会摔跤(你以为我在开玩笑,但这是真的)。
一天下来,我竟然一次都没摔倒也没受伤,感觉自己好像真的很酷,只是被困在一个小小的、不太平衡的身体里。
教练科林太棒了!他非常照顾我们,耐心得像个圣人,让我们这些新手在这个圈子里感到非常自在。要知道,这个圈子里的人都特别自负,很容易让人觉得烦!他还喜欢指出,那些骑车飞驰、自以为是高手的人,其实根本不是。我们玩得非常开心,我离开的时候都想再骑一次,说不定哪天还能去参加奥运会呢。
