No need to make excuses, I'll be the first to admit that I suck. :lol:

The more seat time you get the faster it'll start clicking for you. :ride:

Couple suggestions if I may....

Keep the throttle smooth and steady, don't chop it.
Don't fight the ruts, it'll only make it worse.
Get as much seat time as possible.
Can't really tell but it looks like you stand a lot which is the correct way to do. :thumb:


BTW that's a track I'd like to ride someday.

:lol: Well now you have it from a 3rd party, listen to your dad, he's right. :P

:thumb: Ruts will probably always be a PITA, you just get faster through them. :lol:

Add on a biggy, whenever things get sketchy, roll on the gas, when your rear tire is putting the power to the ground you always have more control over your bike :thumb: Nice riding though!
