I used to have a small collection of pallets. About 10, plus some neat
skinnies and gapping bars. Things used to get stolen, I had to replace
them and protect them from theft. I stacked five pallets and screwed
them together, making a huge immovable block. Surely, that couldn't get
stolen. I screwed other pallets in piles of two and so. I was riding
that for about a month.
Then, one day I came to my trials course only to find that all was
gone. Completely cleaned out. It was the builders making a road who
were supposed to clean the ditch my pallets were next to, and who
cleaned the side instead - ripped out all the grass and took my trials
course with them.
I was quite upset for a day. I spent so much time and effort collecting
and maintaining those pallets, it was rather annoying they were all
gone. But then I realised that all that all those pallets did was hold
me down. I'd gotten into a small routine of doing the same things with
them over and over and was going nowhere.
Now I just ride around the city and progress faster than ever. I don't
miss those pallets at all. Sure, they helped me a lot in the beginning,
but eventually they just became dead weight.
Be creative about your lines. Train your eye to see them everywhere.
