Re: after Riverfront last night...

What # are ya?
We're going out again Sunday, #23 and #65
Yeah, I finally got the juevos up to nail the tripple/dragon's back/ wut ever it is, what a good feeling and smooth landing. I dig the double apex corner after the roller headn in the direction of the start, railin' the outside and I don't think peeps expect that..

Re: after Riverfront last night...

42.
and yeah im interested to see if they smoothen the lip up so it would be more of a speed jump because you haul @$$ down the straight then you have to get on the skids before the lip so you dont over jump it..
but yeah its hangtown saturday for me.. i cant wait to see what they did to the track... personally i liked it backwards but they did need to change a couple things to make it flow better but it was a lot of fun and a great change..

Re: after Riverfront last night...

ya know... I've not been to RF in a LONG time until last night. And, I recall reading about the so-called gnarly triple with the steep/big lip.. whatever. Well... I have to say... second lap I hit that jump, and thought to myself... what the heck is everyone talking about?? That thing is no big deal... meaning, the "lip." It's fine. After hitting it enough times (about 20 or so), I learned to just suck up the face and not scrub off too much speed, and becuase the landing is stretched out pretty good... it was no biggy whatsoever.

I'm a 42 rider by the way. I ride OTHG 38+ expert, which is truly the equivalent of regular novice class. Thus, my humble suggestion... if you're struggling with that jump, it ain't the jump. It's you. So, no biggy... don't get your feelings hurt.. just go work on the jump some more. It will make you a better rider.

When I go to a track and there is an obstacle bugging me (and I can tell it may just be me, and not the obstacle), I work on it until I start getting better at it. Just a humble suggestion... because, I have to say... there is nothing wrong with that jump, in terms of flow or anything.

yeah i should have been more specific i guess.. im just sayin i landed way down in the flats once on accident and it was really really easy to do considering how you just fly down that straight.
