Hope Troy gets better!:( :devil: This us true. Ive been REALLY hard on myself to run good and competitive and Im one that Hates to wait, you know.. I WANT IT RIGHT NOW:p kinda thign, but I am taking it only as I can and not pushing myself too much, yet I am pushing it a little more and more . I am anxious for my flattrack series in three more weeks.Its about a ten week series and it looks like it may get a little nutty with alot of good riding shicks this year:eek2: a couple are even traveling up to race with some ladies it could get interesting. So how hard is it to DBL the whoops anyhow? I HATE those *******s..:o

[hondafox440]

Awesome. MX is so fun. Troy must be really tough if he raced with a broken wrist. Last time I broke my wrist I could barely unbuckle my (bicycle) helmet with it and walk my bike home. It was a combination of the pain and the numbness (if I was pushing with my fingers it didn't feel like I was, kinda hard to explain). I hope he's alright.

it depends on how close they are and how steep the transitions are. Usually I hit them a little faster than normal but don't blip it as much on the face so my nose drops down onto the whoop I plan to land on.

In genral try to keep your weight towards the rear and if you wanna blitz across them just hold the throttle steady and lean back so that your tires hit right below the top, if you double through them they are like small jumps and preload a little make sure the your front lands either on the flat or lower bottem of the landing whoop. Keep your knees locked into the seat and when it starts to buck around to much start spreading them out.

Also watch out for when your your blitzing across the whoops and your front tire clears one and you accidently preload the rear on the one your fronts missed thereby causing your rear end to jump up when your fronts are coming down.:eek: I've had to hit the eject button a lotta times cuz of that.


Whoops are my favorite thing if you can't tell, I can do them all day and on good days I can either blitz across them perfect or turn them into rythem sections.


Imo its easier to blitz across the whoops when you go faster because your quad won't swap as much and you'll just float over everything. The hard part is getting it started, mainly you just gotta lean back and do your best not to preload.

Also when you come across a area where you can double all the whoops or certain ones it helps to learn how to see saw over the whoops so you can get keep your momentum up for the double. By see saw I mean wheelie your front end onto the back side of the next whoop, let off the gas and let ur rear roll over the top and then get on the gas(make sure you don't get air off it so you can get traction and have more time to accelerate for the next set you plan to rythem or blitz through).


Lol, thats a lot of what I know, I hope it all makes since and you can understand everything. I'm not very good at explaining things like this but at least I tryed.

Have fun with your mx racing, and good luck in the flat track series! :D

Joe, PM me if you are interested on info. I will be starting up soon myself.

Qj, that sucks to hear about troy's wrist. I fractured on of mine in my first mx 2 years ago. At least he won. He may have some armpump issues in the future. Maybe he is trying to hint he wants a steering stableizer for x-mas and went overboard:o

OHHHHH NO, I get one before HE does!:D I had a heck of a time keeping my bars from going crazy on the straights fast, he does need one, but his does better than mine does. looks like he will be needing at bear minium a new seat and a new Throddle and mounting hardware as well. He wants a new CDI first, so I recon thats what Ill get him for Christmas..

Troy is just trying to be cool like me!! Oh sure, Paul brakes his wrists so Troy has to go out and do it. I see how it is.
Here is my new look for my R.

Well the money you have spent on emergency room visits for Troy (aka crash) you could have bought her new shocks. lmao
