first ride on CR
Hey YZ eater,
I know this is your first ride on your CR, and you cant hardly wait to get to
the track, but before you even think about jumping "double jumps" make sure
of "your" ability. Jumping doubles is NOT something to take lightly.
I know of too may people, who go to the track, maybe for the first time, then
decide they want to try to actually do what they see the local riders or even
the Pros on TV. Believe me, without practiing and taking it easy, it is incredibly
easy to get hurt badly. If you come up "short" on a double, depending on
your speed, and your front wheel hits the jump face, its very easy to go right over the bars, and lets remember, that ground is HARD!
Before your even think about jumping doubles, find you a small single jump,
or even a tabletop. Then start out w/ a little throttle and see what you and
the bike actually do. Just try to get a little air. Remember, we have to walk,
before we run! Have fun and be safe! Then you can come back again and
reinforce what you actually learned.
Let us know how it went.
:cool:
