Re: Pics from Summit Main 5/20
thats alot better quality than alot of track side photo people
looks like your moving pretty fast, just like you said work on the form, it takes time like you said thats all... some people never hang off much, but the one thing i see is that it looks like you still have a strong sense of being in the "cockpit" behind the windscreen and keeping your head around there while sitting on the seat, once you get used to being "out" of the bike as they say the rest of your body will start getting further out no problem, but you just need to start trying to hang off and look around the bike instead of through it centrally

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.
