Hotfoot Posted February 2, 2017 Report Posted February 2, 2017 It's fun to watch the suspension on the bike in that video, I gotta believe a good, well set-up suspension is a key part of winning a competition like that. Quote
Jaybird180 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Posted February 2, 2017 There was a point in the middle where he appeared to be shaking his head "no" before he turned it to circle the cone yet his line remained consistent. I definitely would've fallen off the bike if I tried to shake my head. Quote
Lnewqban Posted February 11, 2017 Report Posted February 11, 2017 The hanging off would work against a quick rotation around the cone. The higher the lean angle of the chassis, the smallest the circle that can be traced around the cone, due to the geometry of the steering at full lock. This link explains several reasons, if you are interested: http://amgrass.com/forum/practice-practice-practice/help-how-to-increase-speed-and-lean-angle-in-practice/ In this competition, minimum traced distances and high degrees of acceleration (notice the big rear sprocket) are more important than speed.

Jaybird180 Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Posted February 13, 2017 I like the part in the first video where he takes his hands off the bars. Very nice. Quote
