All fair points. One thing I will always remember is being drilled about mental toughness. And no, I cannot claim to have achieved it. That is what has set the All Blacks apart down the decades IMO. We accept making mistakes and performing to 75%. They never do. Until we change that we will always ...

...and a team ...with some rugby nous Whilst I would prefer to see improved basic skills, they probably have enough nous to get by, so I'd go for heart instead. i think they have the heart coo, they can get parity for the ball with the best on grunt, and i dont think effort is a big problem though ...

BM, get shot of your bike, get down to alpine at inners or glentress and pick up an ex-hire off roader, you live in the best part of the uk, europe or arguably the world for options in going off road, with the trails at glentress and the downhill at inners, plus ready access to the natural stuff in ...

Where were you riding, BlackMac? The Revolution Cyclocross bike I bought a couple of months ago. One of Edinburgh Bicycle's own makes. *ahem* Where abouts? I have a revolution Cuillin mtb - the Revolution range is great value for money. I ride in the Pentlands a bit - they're a real asset for Edinb...

I went over the handlebars last week and banged my elbow on landing - just got a couple of wee cuts but I am impressed with the bruise: http://imageshack.us/a/img69/1905/img7948a.jpg I hit a hole in the track that was the same shape and size as my mtb wheel and went over the front. My front wheel e...

My last photo was a bit deceptive, I'll admit. It faces away from the trail, while the trail was hard-packed gravel. There are no really 'rough' trails close by - I need to take the hard-packed probably 8kms into the park to get to them. Yeah, mine was off the trail too for optimum 'boreal forest' ...

For a weekend warrior its often far more confidence inspiring to be able to move your foot off or back onto a flat pedal. A lot of MTB coaches have a preference for teaching people on flats to give them proper technique. I can't remember the last time I saw anyone other than a fat old granny or kid...

just to keep the cycling balance amongst the lycra loving fraternity, i did my first run down the the fort william downhill world cup track (minus road jump) last week, felt every inch of the track, 18 stone down a hill is never a smooth run though Cool - I am a lycra-free zone as well. I had my fi...

can somebody explain the difference in indoor cycling skill sets required between the keirin, the sprint and the shortest pursuit A match sprint tests racing skills: one on one, with the drafting, positioning and tactics that involves. Short pursuits tests raw speed and acceleration. The keirin is ...

would the runner with the highest terminal speed, be in the 100m, the 200m or a long jumper

the 100m winner is always referred to as the 'fastest man' in the world, rather than the 'quickest over 100m', they don't have to be both the same do they

Water Polo athletes must be incredibly fit.

For MTBing, you shouldn't be grabbing the front brake in the corner. Ideally you should scrub enough speed with both brakes on the approach to a turn then roll round it. Shift your bodyweight back to avoid going over the bars when braking hard. That's the ideal, anyway - I find I misjudge braking a...

Just to mention, me and a mate did a FANTASTIC mountain bike route out of Conwy, you go up to the top of a mountain called Drum (2500ft), and then do the most amazing 3 1/2 mile descent into Llanfairfechan!
