See what happens when you steal my number?

See what happens when you steal my number?

hmm, I'm not sure on the specifics but I might have had it before you, when did you start? I had 199 then 399 then I got 505 in 07 I think. You racing since 06 or 07?

Seth why did the camera get all fuzzy and stuff right before the gate drops in the Main? It was fine when you were walking out to the gate and stuff. I can see myself right next to you at the start but you went around the guy at the apex cone and I shuffled in right behind him. That's when I got rammed and went down.

Pretty agro move hitting the jump with those two dudes so close! You crazy lady you.

[Pittenger5]

Im sure I had it before you Seth.

I wondered the same thing

[seth399]

somehow there was some moisture in the camera enclosure. When it warmed up it got outside it got moisture build up, somehow right at that moment after I just checked the thing before putting it on my head.

Seth I laugh everytime I watch your head go 'whoa whoa whoa BAM' ahhahah sorry. Man we both go sorta junk starts but that dude on the KTM on the far left BLAZED to the inside. I keep forgetting there are 450's out there too.

[seth399]

aha ya. Ya if you turn up the volume you can hear my bike all low bogging like a douche. Funny, in the race after that I was late for/got last gate pic, I was on the way left facing a tough block 30ft. in front of me adn managed to cut everyone off and make the inside turn.

[Kurlon]

Looks like the camera fogged up?

Oh, and what was with the booster blocks at the gate Seth? Did you have a hard time starting your bike again?

I was REMOVING those thank you very much!

[Kurlon]

So, you have to walk your bike to the gate with it off? Granted, the only dirt racing I've done is on minis, but we've always motored right up to the gate?

ya you walk out there and sit for a bit then warm up bike basically when the race out there has a lap or 2 left

[Pittenger5]

The hell is a booster block?

[seth399]

some bitches put blocks down under each peg so they can reach the ground without falling over

AKA I'll want one if I have to start my bike at the gate. : )

[Pittenger5]

Umm ... thats odd.

[Evil_Weasel]

that would have been an epic pass for the lead had it worked

[Paul_E_D]

Hey, I need booster blocks. Proper start technique(as it was taught to me) involves standing with you feet in front of the pegs. That means you're up on the tank a little and the seat is even higher. You hold the bike back with your calves until the gate drops, then you can sit down and back weighting the rear tire for spin control. No blocks means I start out leaned to one side, which can get dicey.

Oh, yeah, I would have made the same decision, and paid the same price. It's cool in the vid cause the other guys didn't jump and Seth's bike just rises above like it's on a string.

[Mondo]

pretty cool videos!

Never heard that before. Interested. I've only done 4 mx starts (in the 2 races I've entered) and just start like I do on my motard. Left foot on peg, right foot on ground, go.

I'd have to try that above technique a few times to get comfy. Sounds interesting thou.

[seth399]

Ya I'm with Paul both feet down and forward. Plenty of people do what u do alex as well but doesn't work for me.
