Book Reviews of Riding in the Zone

Book Review: Zone - perfect practice
Summary: 5 Stars

Riding in the Zone really didn't tell me anything new - however, I got great pleasure out of reading and doing the practice excercises. I have not practiced a lot of these because I didn't think I had a place (there is always a school parking lot available after work). When I started practicing I realized how rusty I was (I have been riding over 45 years and even did a bit of GP racing when I thought my body was indestructable). I enjoyed the descriptions and the layout of the excercises. Practice does not make you perfect. It takes perfect practice to make you perfect. These excercises are set up so you can practice perfectly.
I also liked the discussions about mental attitiude and dealing with street traffic.
Don't just read it - be it and practice it.

Summary of Riding in the Zone

Riding motorcycles is fun but Ken Condon maintains there is a state of being beyond the simple pleasure of rolling down the road, this book was written to help other riders find that state of being. It's the experience of being physically and mentally present in the moment, where every sense is sharply attuned to the ride. Your mind becomes silent to the chatter of daily life and everyday problems seem to dissolve, you feel a deeper appreciation for life. Your body responds to this state of being with precise, fluid movements, you feel in balance, your muscles are relaxed, and it seems as though every input you make is an expression of mastery. This is "the Zone." Condon has identified all the factors that affect entering the Zone and addresses each one individually, from the development of awareness and mental skills to mastering physical control of the motorcycle. At the end of each chapter are drills designed to transform the book's ideas into solid riding skills. A companion DVD is included to demonstrate each concept and technique.
