hardcore oldschool motocrossers know what I'm talking about. I assume many of them have trickled down to today's racers.
one of my favorites has always been "when in doubt, gas it". It was true back then and it still holds true today. Mainly used as advice before, after and sometimes during a hard getoff, it saved my ass a few times no doubt. My Dad used to give that advice quite often.
What does it mean to you? Think about that quote, or rethink it I should say.

or missing that squid trailriding down the center if the track by a hair,
it was, "and inch is like a yard".

The administration at my middle school didn't appreciate my t-shirt, though.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

" come in to err"
These are some I was told as a kid, followed by the air throttle.
Pit Row
"Railing ruts and nailing sluts."
"Forgive me father, for I have sinned. I hit a second gear just in third gear pinned."
To add another quote on top of that one, Ricky Carmichael once said, "the throttle only turns one direction." Life doesn't slow down and it certainly doesn't go backwards. The changes that we can make to ourselves only involve how we navigate the future.
It's not if. It's when and how bad. If the bone ain't showing, it ain't bad.
The older I get, the faster I was.
