Yesterday we spent time practising "whips". This is where you approach a motocross jump, angle the bike on the up ramp and "whip" it across the table top section.
It was really very hot at 42c, and the guys needed a lot of water after each session.
Davids friend Gareth is perhaps the best rider I have seen, and below is a series of photos on how just to whip it good!
Bringing the nose down for the landing...
..then once landed, hard left turn and into the straight!
A great lesson in how to do it right.
Merry Christmas!
Simon, A merry Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year to you and yours ... and of course, an appropriate Solstice!
ReplyDeleteAstonishing riding.
