How Did You Work on Your Mountain Bike Skills?

i was doing a lot of f t p style workouts. And those would be red within the long ride. So kind of playing with stamina and also, you know, hitting those numbers as well. But one of the things i really like to do there is either do my intervals on the road or fire rod, and then hit the single track after those. That can be really hard to get especially in january. Then it's hard to hit those technical races come march and april when you're like, old man, i haven't done anything that scares me in a while."
