It's a tricky one to improve too as it's probably a self-preservation instinct rather than a failure to work on technique. The same with sprinters who have a bad crash and lose the nerve to take the risks needed to win even though they still have the speed.

I have off days .. the skill I tell youngsters is learn mini drills to relax if you tighten up and get in the drops ( unless you have some stupid slammed stem ) . Consider myself a average descender which is elite status compared with what I see out there in rapha land .

Yet another advert using a female singer performing a slowed down acoustic version of a classic song. There really seems to be a lack of originality in the advertising industry.

Boardman just echoing my own experience, as soon as you start thinking about the consequences you lose the ability to descend fast.
