Yes, that girl kicked my rear end all over the track. But that is ok, because she also kicked some of the guys rears too, so I don't feel too bad. My whole idea was to just stay behind her, but after the first jump into the rythem section, she just took off. I really need to learn how to jump those doubles. I can double the triple no problem, love doing it. But I am too afraid to take any of the doubles that are knee high. Doesn't make any sense. Any suggestions? Besides just suck it in and do it?
Don't rush into it Carrie. When your ready to do them, you'll know it. When you are ready, take time to watch someone that does them smoothly time and time again. Listen to the motor and when they are gassing it. When you want to do them either follow someone you trust, or if you have the confidence from just watching and listening, go for it! Remember to stay loose and alert so you can adjust body position or quad speed. Cool?:usa

Great advice! I never push her. Chris Earlywine has her follow him around from time to time. That seems to help more than anything else.
Yes, USAMoto, but easier said then done. I asked Jen, she is the one that came to race this weekend, how she was getting through them. I do watch everyone during races too. When Jen passed me after the triple, I decided I was going to match her speed and follow her through the rythem section. Well, I cleared the first one, then lost my nerve to go through the rest of them. After Chuck gets my new front end on, that is when I will try to really go through all of them at once. I know I can do it, my thumb is on the gas saying "DO IT!!" but my mind is saying "YOU SUCK YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT!!" Then I let off the gas. End of story. Michelle needs to get her butt down here and help me!!!!
that's fine, but we won't be here on New Years Eve, and we are taking all of the alcohol in our house to the party we are going to. Sorry. But you guys can drive down anyways and stay the weekend. Practice Saturday and Sunday.
