[QUOTE="JasonJ, post: 1242174, member: 23758"] Awesome, I always try to take a good look at what people who are passing me are doing differeint or better, I saw Steve and others standing up tall when he blasted by me, though with him its hard to tell when he is standing :nener: . I started doing the same and really standing tall and grasping the tank with my legs instead of leaning over the handle bars and keeping my weight back and knees loose like I do on whoops and single track. Its hard for me since I am tall its hard to stand tall and still be over streached (leaning forward) on the bars so I was having to kind of bend my knees (squat) to keep loose on the bars so my quads are hurting today and I know I need to raise my bars and probably lower my pegs. I also saw Steve eat a face full of sand and almost ran him over, and Im sure his rail road track crash was something to see but I was infront of him at that point and missed it. But hey, he has been getting faster and fallen less so I know he is learning fast. Im glad he is riding so well and confident, and Im glad I had a fun day and did not take a dirt dive all day even though I was slow. I know you have to push your comfort zone to get faster and I think I progressed well over the whole day without getting hurt so thats a very good day for me. I also know when my bike is and is not working well so If I keep riding the sand Ill keep making adjustments until it works the way I want it to. It's nice to be able to copy the setup of guys who are riding well too. I must say the GPR has been awesome and I would have had a VERY BAD day without it. I think with a better front tire and front suspension setup I'll be dialed in better but hey, these last two weeks have been my first time back to NJ and sand in a LONG time so we have some catching up to do. Perhaps the sand just needs a good crash sacrifice befoe it will yield and so I endured its rutted wheel grabing wrath. I recall seeing a guy on a KTM flying through the end of a single track section only to auger in the sand on the turn onto the sand road at the end of the section so his buds could laugh very loudly. I herd lots of guys talking about thier high speed get offs at the lunch lodge too so it seems the sand taketh away but givith when you fall so thou shall not be hurt. :p BTW, looking at Hazelton this weekend maybe so stay tuned. Ill be camping out probalby so Ill ride Sat and Sun if the snow clears up. with the hi temps this week I think it should. [/QUOTE]
