Re: Pics from Summit Main 5/20
damn man, i was debating going out there. if i knew you were heading up there i probably would of made the trip.
pictures look good man, like you said though, you could get off the bike a little more, but looking damn good.
constructive critisism: sit farther back on the seat, elbows out further, head down lower. when you lean the bike over, you want the bike to be as upright as possible through the turns so you have more contact patch on the tire/ground. (im sure you know that though). when your leaning off, you want you outside elbow to be resting on the tank as a rule of thumb. i cant really tell if your toes are in the right spot, but it looks like if your knee touches your toes will too. i have a bad habbit of burning up right foot toe sliders.
are you going to be at VIR july 8th and 9th? thats probably going to be my next time out.

Re: Pics from Summit Main 5/20
are you not going to be out there the weekend in june at summit?
if we ever get together, i can show you a few pointers with the bike on the stand. i had a CR show me that way on my first track day and it helped me a lot.
try to work on it, but dont let it distract you. the last thing you want to do is run wide or make some sudden movement midturn. you definitely want to get your form down though, although you dont look bad man.

Re: Pics from Summit Main 5/20
yeah, i'll be out there fri and maybe a couple other days from june 8th weekend. if you're gonna be out there i'll stay up there.
i'll have to see what's up on the stand then for sure...thanks a lot man. yeah, i remember scrapin' my boot and i have before in the mountain but i guess this was just different...everything on the track seems different than the street so i kinda let up a little bit and the bike kinda wobbled (this was turn 10 kinda fast) and i went over the curb and got my speed back. SO ADDICTING!
