Tribal Moon goes hand in hand with mountain biking. In this, another form of thrill release, one takes risks decending down mountain passes, unexpected drops, along with ice acceleration. It gives me the feeling of wanting to jump out of my skin.

Knowledge comes from experience, skill comes from commitment & dedication. In one form, you are your limits. Losing a soul in your journey means remapping your route with more influential fuel. Load the furnace & shell out the logs one by two, challenge yourself daily, search for the physical & mental foods that suits you best. Draw in the energy at your work station, store the fuel & release in the proper direction no harm done...Here it comes.
