Before you were into the sport - you'd be out and just "enjoying the scenery"...now you can't look at a mountain side, twisty road, rocky ledge on the side of the road, etc. without figuring out the best line through, over or down.

You've got Line Disease!

Is that what they call it? I just referred to it as "survival instinct". :)

No...I should re-word the definition.

Line Disease is when you're like riding in your CAR on the highway and you see something that you might be able to ride - and you start working in your head a great line to get down...you start seeing "lines" everywhere you look.
