Skills training constitutes an important training component for cyclists intending to enhance their tech’s especially in regards to the skill of descending. It revolves around the improvement of a cyclist’s handling, braking and cornering which will alter the cyclist’s experience. Once one becomes efficient in managing such aspects of cycling, the levels of confidence will improve, which in turn will help during rides and cycling down-slope.

Thank you!
I had a crash recently, fortunately my body got only a few scratches, but my self confidence got totally broken. I find myself now breaking before all the turns. It‘s time to go to basics and renew the skill.

For Gilbert: also, don't supertuck on winding roads... the time required getting back up to the saddle definitely didn't help preparing for this corner @10:30.
