90% Mental

Leo, Rimmer and I spent the day in Docklands yesterday and it was Leo's turn to battle with his own mind which simply refused to let him land his trick. It really was a case of being mentally prepared as he basically had the trick down but when it starts to go astray the rage follows and instead of the mind being focused, the board ends up focused instead. We took a couple of breaks, set up a new board and tried a couple of different spots but nothing was happening so on the third return to the original spot it took just a few tries to land and suddenly the dark cloud that filled Leo's mind lifted and everything was peachy.
