But man, when I figured out how to dive down the boards in a full sprint - so damn fun!
Yeah, I felt the flow a couple of times, where everything fit together perfectly, and it was so sweet! I never launched into an all-out sprint, but I can imagine that the rush is huge. The turns seemed to come up so fast, though, that it was kind of mentally taxing to have to be thinking every second about the setup. That and the etiquette anxiety was exhausting, but I’ll go back for open ride and just try to get used to it.
