their throttle control is amazing it is so dry and they just get constant traction.

thet prolly have some sweet hard terrain tires that no else can get and they prolly have internal gear ratios messed with so they can run that entire track in third.

Those guys totally kill it for sure.
On most tracks it is the whoops that seperate the men from the boys.... Whoops take up so much energy. I can ride pretty hard, and quite fast with excellent corner speed, but whoops are my huge down fall. Lots of training to be able to whack iit wide open and just hang on..... that is where the guys who are trainning hard really shine.

I have been riding big bike's here and there lately.... I am saving up for a 2006 or newer YZ 250 2 smoke, just for something to moto out on.
Remember My roomate has that private track. You should come up one weekend and put down some laps.
And Moonster is right, blazing over the tops of the whoops is the only way to go.... and its about a bizillion times faster too.
was that ever a question? :silly:

whoops have more to do with technique and confidence rather than strength, but strength helps everything...
everytime i hit the whoops on our sx track, i come out with a flat tire. we've been having to bump up to like 15psi on the sx track for this reason.
whoops are fun as hell... when you actually get to skim across them... otherwise its all death, mayhem, destruction, and people helping you up off the floor. :censored:

i was referring to your comment on how much energy whoops take out of you, if you blitz the damn thigs you loose verry little energy so ********in pin it to win it just wide open lean back dont let off

hold on i gotta change my aviator to talk in this section
our whoops are like concrete on our sx track with rocks everywhere.. that section is not soft and loamy dirt like our mx track is.. i got the "put more psi" advice from some other A-B riders we hang with at the track that were having the same problem.
our whoops are pretty cool because theyre not huge like real sx whoops, so you feel like a rockstar going thru them and your bike makes that classic whoops sound.. :naughty:
