Is my suspension just too soft or what. This was on a relatively small tabletop that I slightly overshot. My quad looks like a TT quad.

1 More, I gotta hand it to you MX guys. These tracks are tiring. I can't wait to do it again. This is the closest track to me and it is 2.5 hrs away.

You would be suprised at the difference a little downslope can make. You wouldn't use near that much suspension if you didn't overshoot...

that's et motopark isn't it? i bet it's the table after the two little doubles... my first time out there i overshot that by a little bit and the landing didn't feel too good. Now I have to brake to not overshoot it, cause i carry a ton of speed through the doubles.

Wow good call. That is exactly it. Even knew the table.

Do you ride there much?

damn paul, I cant belive you called that one out. Ive never had a problem with that jump. I have overshot it once and I doubt my suspension was that low. Are you ready to get parked tomorrow paul.

I wish. Next time I am up there I will have to meet you guys there. I went with my bro and friend on this last Sat. There was hardly anybody there. Well less then I thought there would be.

I may get to go on the June 21st weekend. It is 2.5 hrs away or I would be there everyday it is open.

Heh, sucks that it's so far away, I live like 10 min from it:p I think I might be in show low that weekend but maybe I can stay, and theres no race so I could go on sat if i stayed..

it happens man, did you bottom out or was the landing soft if you bottom out stiffen em up if the landing was soft then leave them alone, you should set your shocks up so that you bottom on 1 jump on a mx track thay way you are getting the full potential of your shocks, nice pic btw :)
