[QUOTE="Travace, post: 5439, member: 111"] today was my first time out to a MX track [url=http://www.baronaoaksmx.com/]Barona Oaks MX -- Home of Champions[/url] and i was trying to keep everything you guys said in mind. There was a couple BIG jumps that i didnt even attempt to really jump but there is some nice table tops a few mellow step up type jumps and some mellow doubles. I started off just getting a little air on the table tops but the landing is tough on my cause im too fat right now. after about my 4th lap (not all at once :P) i set my eyes on these Doube, Double, Double that are all in a row. I guess you could call them a rhythm section? they were not very big... maybe 7 feet or so maybe 5 im not sure but they were mellow enough to where you could case them and not get tossed over the bar. So the thing that i learned very fast is its rough and a lot harder to NOT clear the doubles :lol: so i went a little faster. First run at em i didnt make the first one cleared the 2nd one and cased the last one. Then the next lap i gave it a little more gas cleared the first cleared the 2nd and cleared the thrid. :banana: :banana: I use to dirt jump in BMX and getting that feeling of FlOWING is something i reall missed and i got it back today on that small rythm section. Holy shit i think im hooked cause now i want to be able to "flow" on more of the track as well. IM still really noob but i got that feeling a little and its a a whole new beast of an addiction. some things i really need to work on is remembering to use my legs more. a few times when i was jumping right after the peak i felt like the bike wanted to just drop out from under me... once or twice when the front wheel went down i even had my feet come off the peg a little and i landed on my shifter. BTW i met someone who rides tracks weekly and he was able to clear every jump out there so hes a lot better then me which is a good thing for me. [/QUOTE]
