Heste Janse Van Rensburg Posted October 16, 2013 Share I'm a newbee to MTB. Have been riding for 3 months, and doing single track the last 3 weeks. I'm riding / exercising every 2nd day at least. Today something strange happened. When I started off I was feeling unbalanced on my mtb. I thought I just needed warm up and that it will get better. But it got worse, I was so unbalanced and felt out of control on the track, I fell 3 times. (ouch) Nothing changed in my eating habits or exercise routine. Is this something that happens a while after starting to exercise - something like a dip... I don't know. Or is this just something out-of-ordinary-once-off-feeling?

Bat Posted October 16, 2013 Share You might have a ear infection or some bad sinus which will effect your balance. arendoog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heste Janse Van Rensburg Posted October 17, 2013 Share Ha..ha..ha... I was thinking someone might think I'm high or something... unfortunately not, had a normal day of work and exercise. Will check again how it goes this afternoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taps Posted October 17, 2013 Share Give your bike a going over to make sure that's not the issue: bent rim, stiff headset, low tyre pressure etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falco Posted October 17, 2013 Share Having a bad day is one thing, it happens to all of us, but feeling unbalanced and falling three times is not a bad day, it is something that should be investigated without delay. Get yourself to a doctor. The hub is not the place for dealing with this. Patensie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibruegge Posted October 17, 2013 Share If in doubt, blame the bike. That's what I do when I fall. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braailegend Posted October 17, 2013 Share Just your rhythm that is off. Happens to me sometimes as well. Those days when nothing feels right. Eg, bunnyhops will feel retarded... best is not to take big jumps or try something new that day. I have no reason for this, it just happens, next day its gone. nickelass and Louzy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
