Do you "Session"?

..... I very much doubt I could ride over a park table or wheelie off 8+ foot walls now.

I'm still trying (and not always failing)

You have spurred me on. Next time I see a decent wall over 4ft I am having a go.

Next time I hit the trail I know the kickstart theme will be rattling round in my head!

Sessioning sounds a lot like what I used to do as a kid when I first began mountain biking, before it got a fancy name. If I failed an obstacle (up or down) due to stalling, losing grip, dabbing a foot etc, I would repeat the obstacle until I could do it without flaw.

I have to admit that when I saw the verb ''session'' I immediately thought back to what I did on musical instruments: practice. You take difficult sections, work on them - ''routine them'' - and then reintegrate them into the flow of the whole passage. Do concert pianists session? Nah!

I know I should do it more as my skills aren't great, but when I'm out I just want to ride!
Nearest I come to it I s'pose is going round a favourite cheeky trail on the Chase 3 times in a row, just to try and nail it better, but I don't session individual features I must admit - whole trails yes.

I have done it for a couple of reasons:
1) some bits are more fun so I repeat them
2) some bits scare me so I want to get over that and make them flow better
