Backflips and Barrol Rolls @ Lake St. Clair, MI

[Roo]

FINALLY had a chance to make it out to Lake St. Clair.

thanks to SXI STEVE for the footage and SWANNYSXR (borrowed helmet with camera).


it is nice seeing this video to see what i am still doing wrong.

i keep reverting back to poor body positioning and looking over my shoulder rather then straight back.

BUT, on the second flip i made a conscience effort to pull the bars into my chest and i can feel that is helping for sure with rotation.

i made it around (barely) but wasn't quite able to ride out clean.

i also noticed i am not pinning the throttle as hard as i could / should listening to the video.

getting there... my confidence level with them is getting better (considering i have zero concept of a backflip going into this).

i have maybe 20 attempts at this max.



please excuse the on board camera angle - it should have been tilted up a bit more.

i don't ride with my head down like that the whole time :Eyecrazy:

here is the pretty water everyone liked in the last thread (science of brapology):

Way to go Roo , lookin great.

Pay some more attention on your bars, you are probably still looking over the shoulders.
