Message: [QUOTE="wayneg, post: 224459, member: 24675"] The black Domino throttle tube doesn't make that much difference to me for the situations where I am having problems with throttle control. When I'm just cruising through a section, having a go at simple sections, or where I'm just using a light throttle its all happiness. Its where I've got to hit someting pretty hard, and knowing the difference between making it to the top, and looping out that I'm having trouble (in the past I have broken the odd rear mudguard ;) ). I guess that having the 200 will help, mainly because it has much less power and smoother power as well. I guess its just something that I'll learn eventually through practising, and a skill that will happen at some stage. One of the main reasons that I got the 200 was that it has been recommended to me by various people, that having lots of power doesn't help you to learn the correcct techniques. In the UK the youth classes are restricted to certain displacments by their age. This is so that the youngsters do learn the correct techniques rather than just having the grunt to power over obstacles regardless. I think that what I relly need to do is to try and practise the correct techniques rather than just turn up to a trial and just ride! Training is certainly something that helps, so maybe just getting other better riders to watch and (once they've finished laughing:) ) tell me what I'm doing wrong. [/QUOTE]
