Yeah me too.
I've seen that a long time ago.

na dude, just close your eyes and pin it to win it!!
(only saying that because I want to see the same thing on a 500!!!

)
actually the last few times out I did a few jumps, and Brit, you know I'm like you with the jumps. Your AF is definitly setup for it. I never liked doing jumps because I always had shitty bikes where peices would fall off (including me a few times

) everytime I'd land. The big thing that freaked me out was on my old 125 for a while the tranny would stick, like it was hard to turn the rear wheel, so I'd hit a jump and instantly be in motion for a forward flip

I ate it pretty hard a few times before I even realized what the problem was. But I'm getting better now! we'll have to do some jumps next time.

I think someone should tell him the difference between a jump and a berm.

But, I can imagine how entertaining I am to the kids watching me go around a MX track - does anyone know if you can actually die from laughing too hard?

LOL, you already know I can't... I meant the next time both of us are on the same ride. But I should be back on the bike by late Feb at the worst.

I've seen that before and get a good laugh out of it everytime.
I'm pretty sure when he flew off the track he had some whiskey throttle, and couldn't shut off. Anyway, MX is tough, especially the first time. Your very nervous, full of adrenaline, and your arms pump-up, and you become exhausted FAST, so you loose control quick. Its really one of those things, where until you try it, you have NO idea. I think everyone should try it, at least once.
I still remember my first race when I was 12 or 13, it was crazy. It takes a good 5 races to figure it out.

All true.
and just make sure you give it a little gas off the top. Just enough to keep the front end up all the while standing. Sitting / seat bounching..... well thats a dif story.
