What are you good at and why?

I am pretty good at pinching tubes when I change a tire. My son says I get in too much of a hurry. Used tubes are my problem. I never pinch a new tube because I can get them to lay flat in the tire.

Seriously though, my strong point is logs. Angled logs, wet logs, big logs, bring it! I suck at jumping though. On an mx track, I am embarrassingly slow.
 
23 years off a bike has taught me "my brain remembers....body hasn't got a clue"
I get tired real fast
I catch myself looking 5 feet ahead instead of 50, forget about finding a line doing that...
I forget to breathe in technical sections...just bad news
So...
I've discovered what I'm good at and very few others are
VOLUNTEERING to put events on!
Trail prep....slappers and pokers fear my skills
Arrowing... no second thoughts if your on-track
Sign up...keep it flowing by knowing the answers
and my favorite
Checkpoint
There to make sure everyone is having fun and offer encouragement and the occasional BS to B riders
 
Because of my height I used to be good at flying through really rough rocky gnarley woop sections. The bike could be flying all over the place but I could stay balanced due to long legs and a good strength to weight ratio. That was 30 years ago, now I'm trying to learn a smother more technical trials style. I can honestly say that any observer will agree that I'm serious about going slow.:D
