More addictive than crack/meth...sex even. Us wanna-be's have only felt it once in a while but even that is enough to keep us chasing the dragon. I can only imagine what the fast guys feel. Holy crap...they must be stoned outta their minds.

I would say similar to what I would call in the zone. Everything clicks and you feel like you can't do anything wrong. Every bump, jump you hit and berm railed is perfection and even when an unthinkable mistake occurs while flowing it doesn't effect you the least bit. When flowing or in the zone you truly are in an unbreakable mental state, unless one of the elites pass you like you're standing still and crush your flow like a grape.

Flowing or being locked in the zone is the ultimate high for a racer!

When you're riding on the edge of your tires, AND you carry momentum... you're flowing.

momentum.....classical mechanics, linear momentum or translational momentum : For example, a heavy truck moving fast has a large momentum—it takes a large and prolonged force to get the truck up to this speed, and it takes a large and prolonged force to bring it to a stop afterwards. If the truck were lighter, or moving more slowly, then it would have less momentum.
mo men tu...more men to what!
moment....if only for one
mo ment....moe ment what?
mome....momee mia!!!
mom....ahhh

you can hit any line, lap after lap. it almost gets easy to hit the insides. drop in hot, pull a slip on the clutch, fire out. ive been there plenty of times in b class.

It's when you make a point to eat enough fiber and are laying off the red meat and opiates- I wouldn't say it's great (more toilet paper is necessary), but it's certainly better than the alternative.

Pretty sure that the FLOW they were feeling today is nothing like I've ever felt on a bike. Dudes were flying!!!. Pretty cool to see the Hondas up front and Stew was laying it down as well.

The bike becomes not just a bike but an extension of your body, that day you just "Flow"

3 more OVERLY USED WORDS/PHRASES........

"Adversity" All the adversity he's faced

"Preparation" Looks like he did his preparation during the week

"Parity" There is so much parity in this class

It pains me to hear all of the above because they are used to death

....can he overcome this adversity he's facing by making sure he did his preparation during the week and be able to do battle in a field with so much parity?.....haha ....if they laid down a sentence like that I don't think they would have anything to talk about for 5mins

I've heard it described as a combination of a mild acid trip and getting kicked in the nuts while getting a BJ from a Monster girl. And I don't just mean a girl with a Monster tat, Peely... Whistling
