Almost Crash Session

Almost crashed twice in one session. After the first, I completly lost my focus. There was a big load in my pants after the first one, should have pitted soon after.

Same bend

From what I have heard ...you would fit in well at this year's Cadwell 'Crashfest' (Flymo Cup)

I would suggest different tyres.............................Knobblies

Nice saves .....My guess is ......you went were you were looking

Oh yeah and brave man to post it up

Nothing wrong with that riding. If you go off of the track but don't crash, it's not a crash, man! I used to go off the track all the time. I think being able to keep a bike up off the track is a greater skill than riding on the track. IN fact, my last race, ever,I went across the sandy desert in Las Vegas right toward the tyre wall. I kept it up and got back on the track with some serious "sugar cookie" tyres.
I truly believe that keeping a bike up off of the track is just as important a skill as any.
It's funny how it always seems that when you blow a turn, that turn becomes your nemesis.
BTW, more throttle, earlier

When you rent the track, they throw in the lawn for free! Be a shame if someone didn't get some use out of it.
Nice save.
Is that Putnam park?

Thanks guys! I agree that being able to control your bike while off track is very important. I've seen many videos of guys freaking out and slamming on the brakes etc... I just hope it's the last time, though I doubt it.

That track is BlackHawk Farms Raceway, South Beloit, IL. It's a good track where horse power isn't everything.

I loved watching you on that track! Great skills!!

Thanks man! I'm a learning in progress, that was only my second trackday. I've got a lot to learn. Thanks again for the props, gotta represent the Duke.
