should be done uploading soon


aka today. I was getting beat quick out there! I took a few laps with the helmet cam on though, Paul makes an appearance like halfway through I think. You can see the big table/triple is the first jump when I take a right onto the track and 'double' it the first time. Some of the jump faces were wacky today but it was a really fun track overall.

As rutted and loose as it looks? If so NOTHING like Mototown used to be (which was super hard pack and slick)

Man, a couple times you came up short on that big table, it HURT watching the video...

Overall though, I think I could actually 'ride' that track? Didn't seem too bad.

[seth399]

haha yes not fun slamming the top of that coming up short, that shit was long. I was basically sitting on my rear fender to keep traction all the way up to it 3rd pinned. The last lap on the vid I doubled it again cuz I finally knew i spun too much to actually clear it.

Ha, I didn't even try to clear that one. My 125 spins a lot and I didn't feel like taking the beating off that little bump on the end of the table. It was smooth as butter landing it at the "double" mark.

Kurlon, the track is very rideable. The obstacles are not technical at all, but they are long. Clearing the tables and making the rhythm sections required some serious speed and commitment. On the other hand, rolling around at medium speeds had no real negative consequences.

And yeah, Alex, the track is so soft. The bottoms of the whoops just go away after an hour and leave some nasty holes in the surface. I actually hope they can firm it up little.
