Drift 1 assesment

1. The first situation that bothered me about my first drift was the weather, it was always windy or rainy when I was free to do my drift.

The second thing that stressed me out was that when I experimented with biking and recording my rig kept clanking and I couldn’t hear it until I got back to my dorm. And by then it was far too late to go back out.

2. My very first time out on my drift was very relaxing. I was wearing my big Flight jacket so I was plenty warm. I wasn’t sure what to do but I was relaxed and peaceful.

On my second portion of my drift that I went out on when I rode my bike it was a rather warm day for the beginning of fall, though windy, it was warm and I was comfortable. It was peaceful for the most part; my return trip on my bike, not so much. But the beginning of that drift was peaceful and relaxing.


3. First I did not expect to actually be un-nerved as much as I was on my first segment of my walk. Up until I got my first good sound I wasn’t sure what too expect.

Second I did not expect to have my bike break on me during my second segment of my drift. It was a minor set back, I simply pounded my hand rails back in and I was good to go.


Thirdly I surprised by myself when I forgot my drift strategy and ended up God knows where and had to decide whether to stay my course or pull a ‘to the rear march’ on myself n try to find where I was supposed to turn. I’m glad I didn’t turnaround.


4. My favorite situation on my drift was most certainly my first time out on my walk. I was unsure of what to do, but I was excited. I didn’t really record much worth keeping but finding that first great sound was awesome! It was my first time out-n-about, like most first times it was relaxing yet un-nerving, it was exhilarating and over way too fast!
