    ep 68. Getting Over a Slump

    Send us a text Ever feel like you’ve lost your flow on the bike? Maybe trails that used to feel fun now feel overwhelming, or it’s just harder to get out the door. In this episode, we dive into the psychology of getting over a slump and finding joy in riding again. Drawing inspiration from Jake Johnston’s great YouTube video and the work of sports psychologist Dr. Craig Manning, we break down: ✅ What a slump really is – when interference (injury, distraction, self-doubt, past crashes) keeps you from your true potential.  ✅ The ABCs of sport psychology: Awareness – recognizing where you’re at on the performance bell curve.Breathing – using your breath to shift your nervous system and manage energy.Concentration – keeping it simple and staying present (think 3 cues max: pump, breathe, look). ✅ Practical tips to beat the slump – from riding new trails, cross-training, and yoga to upgrading your bike, sessioning features, or even braving a rainy ride. We also share personal insights on how to reset your mindset, set small goals, and bring the fun back to your rides. 🌍 Trail Shoutout: We head to Nesbyen, Norway with guide Will Gibson of AnyExcuseToRide.com. From e-bike shuttles and cozy guest housing to the iconic HallingSpranget flow trail and stunning fjord views, Norway’s riding is challenging, beautiful, and unforgettable. If you’ve ever hit a slump—on or off the trail—this episode is packed with strategies to help you reset, refocus, and rediscover why you ride.
