Well this was a great weekend for racing, but the only complaint i had was how most of the jumps at Jolly were double lipped? they endo you over if you dont know what you doing. Also i wiped out my first moto, i was on the back strech where there are 3 table tops in a row- leading to the intimadator, =on the 2nd jump,(i do it all the time perfectly), the one with the steep landing, i nosed it goin 3rd mid(over clearned it to), and the bumper is totaled, i faceplanted hard and the quad flipped over my while i was on the ground,I was knocked out for a minute, i eventually woke up in the ambulence, and didnt know where i was, luckily i only have some minor bruses and scrapes, and a totaled shoie helmet, and fox chestprotector that saved my life. Any one going to the next southwick race? Ill be there.

I was there to watch this time I hope to make southwick to race will see If not i start next season. I got a late start to riding this year, last fall i took a good digger basicly the same thing you did but i broke my shoulder up pretty good and didn't relize how out of shape i got sitting around all winter waiting for it to heal up. better to buy new helmat than new head I got my old one from the wreck as a reminder to make it all the way across the tabletop!

I know what you mean double liped. The table after the steep down hill jump was real bad. I seen alot riders almost face plant it. Most the jumps around here get like that so I didn't have any trouble with it. Also the stupid jump under the second bridge was pretty bad to. My only proble with jolly rodger is, They either have real steep landings on the jumps or no lands at all. I don't mind the steep lands on a few, But it would be alot more fun to fly of the these jumps and blow up from flat bottoming.

I don't mind the steep landings that much but I never been there and I was not use to them. If I had been there before I would not mind at all. The harder the track the better I do any ways. But the only lands there are steep and most of the othere jumps have no landings. I still have stock shocks so its a real hard landing for me. Like the jump right after the first bridge, if that had a landing that would be a cool jump. They could make that into a 50ft tabletop and still be fun.
