Line Selection

Wow, I just learned a huge lesson on the dirtbike. There were standing puddles in the deepest whoops. And rather than tear up the track I went around them. Well, this is so obvious, but the line is ten times smoother and faster away from the knarly stuff. I thought I had been choosing decent lines, but forced even further out by the puddles, my eyes opened to a whole new track.

The coolest thing is once carrying lots more speed, even if I got knocked into the center I could handle the big stuff much better and get out of it quicker. As long as I STARTED the whoops on a smooth fast line I was golden. Previously, the first big hit would slow me so much that I would take a beating the whole way through…

Paul, I know you'd mentioned quitting racing, but...

Reason I mention it is, there's a 200cc class. And, it's only about $50/weekend to enter.

Lol! I know I'm a racer by nature and can't hide it.

I may do a hare scramble just to ride a new place with some freinds, but that's about it. I need a mental vacation from the drive that racing brings out in me.
