How to find "The Line"

The line is a term often used to describe finding the smoothest or most capable path in a tough part of the course. It is really important to find a line on touch terrain when using a hard tail. A full suspension bike can handle more difficult trails although there are times when they need to ride on a line too. Constantly observe and be looking ahead to see what the best way to get around the terrain is. Take a line that is too intense and you will find yourself falling onto certain things that will hurt more than just flat ground like pointy rocks and branches.
