Have yet to meet a dirt biker that is "normal", but within the confines of the scene, then yep that's normal.

Nice, I see you get the same kind of instructions I was getting when trying to follow my ridiculously skilled ex-racer mate up the gnarly stuff "Right, this is how you do it, now stop fannying around like a girl and hit the bloody thing".

Paparimu when it is at wet as it usually is, and when you have a pile of bikes in the bottom of the a loop gets the famous Scotty this is how you do it speech, select second gear, and pin it, and keep you pet on the pegs as long as you can, if people listen and commit they normally get up,

you always get to ride a few bikes up there, i have made the mistake of doing that ride with a big hang over once, it was not a fun day walking down those hills in tech 10's

I saw John out there too, not long after I passed you I fell off the track trying to avoid running over a kid on a 70 or something. Get some funny looks when you're a few meters off the track with your bike upside down and a marshal vest on.. At least I could claim I was trying to help someone else... :confused:

I intentionally avoided that A++ climb after Steve made me help him push his bike to the top.

Scott, you'll be pleased to know I didn't have such a difficult time on the sweep lap this time. :drinkup:

Well, I can see why you have such light bikes then, if you drop it every minute or so. :laugh:

I'm knackered if I have to pick up my GSA once, fully loaded, by myself. <_<

Aah, that was you, we came passed, Mike stop to see if you needed a hand, you said you were OK. got it on vid as well. not very good, but you notice the fluro vest stands out in amongst the scrub.

It was slightly embarrassing. Said 'kid' just moved over right in front of me, had no where to go but off the track or hit them.
