which track did you go to?rmc_olderthandirt said:I haven't figured out how to start small.
After four years of riding the desert I thought I would try the local MX track. Man, did I feel out of place.
The table top jumps were okay, I could land short and still be okay. It was the doubles that had a 4 foot trough between them that I couldn't manage. Landing short on these guys was painful. Worse, they were all located right after a turn so if you were not coming out of the turn properly you couldn't set up for the double.
Last night I was at the track (second time) and rolled one of the doubles. The guy behind me didn't roll the double. Ever have a MX bike land on top of you?
That hurt.
I wish there was a track nearby that had a bunch of these doubles set up side by side in an otherise open field. Going left to right the doubles could get larger. Then I could start small and work my way up.
I guess where I live land is way to expensive for that kind of approach.
I am debating on if I will go back to the track. Getting passed on the left or right doesn't bother me but getting passed over my head feaks me out......

I've landed on other people and I've been landed on. In every instance, the person on top got the worse end of the deal.IndyMX said:I've had guys jump over me, it's freaky.. but never had one land on me. I think I'd be pretty well pissed off if one did.
