There is a huge difference in riding and racing. Just figured your comment about people learning to ride was kinda funny considering most of the people in those videos (at least the mx portion) are top level GNCC riders, so I think they know a thing or two about riding.:ermm:
well considering that i was planning on racing GNCC this yr, and for the past 3 months half my riding has been at racing speeds, i should know a thing or 2 about how to ride as well
LOL....Borich might as well pack it in:p
I never said anything about your ability to ride, after all, we all know that "planning" to race is one of the most important aspects of becoming a fast rider.:ermm:Quote:

:blah: I fully agree with you Cletus...Planning is half the battle:devil:
a rev limiter is there for a reason. it is so you can't overrev the motor. there is nothing wrong AT ALL with bouncing the revs off the limiter for a short period of time. sometimes it is faster to not upshift for 2 seconds if you know your going to downshift a second later to go into a turn. one less motion to undertake while prepping for the next turn.

i agree, but im talking about landing from a jump and then instead of catching the next gear just over revving it for a couple of seconds and then shifting....it is like this....
NOT SHIFTING WHEN THEY SHOULD...WAITING TOO LONG TO SHIFT UP.....
there is a difference between holding it on if your near a corner and ready to downshift, and just holding it on too long even when your going to upshift

Double Clip
this clip was the one i was talking about....the second guy coming off that jump...he just rolls over it and then going down the hill he over revs it b4 shifting...i guess it shouldn't have benn..."ppl need to learn to ride" but more like..."this guy should learn to shift"
Or just not say anything.:p I'm pretty sure that is Brent Sturdivant, a Pro GNCC racer. I really don't care either way just get tired of reading comments that people have no business making (like someone who doesn't race commenting on a pro's riding ability, oh wait "shifting" ability) But anyways, I'm done, good luck if you decide to race this year.Quote:
