[QUOTE="wayneg, post: 663546, member: 24675"] Another thing to do with your figure 8's is to try it on a slope. Then again on an uneven slope, and then for fun throw in a couple of bricks, small rocks or small logs to break it up. Creek beds can also be good practice and as JTT says will challenge your turning technique with a rocky suface. For the lower classes (where I'm at!) its more about turning and small obstacles than about hopping or splattering. Practice the double blip on logs up to about 4' in diameter, and on rocks and banks that are not undercut. In my opinion you should be aiming at getting your turning and balance before worrying about hopping or any of the advanced stuff just yet. Depending on who is setting out the trials they should be able to challenge your skills without making the turns so tight that you have to hop all over the place to get around. One of the guys in my club has got a '95 Fantic Section, and it goes pretty well. His bike seems to be very reliable and he hasn't really had too many problems with it. There are still parts available through someone in the UK if you are having problems, I'll try and find out a contact for you. [/QUOTE]
