Had a good training session today in the sun.
I was going to do full laps but I wasn't feeling 100% so I concentrated at doing first straights manual-ling the first jump and doing sprints back up the start hill from stopped.
After about 10 manuals where my front wheel just got over the lip or cased on top I finally started manualling properly and smoothly with my front wheel hitting down the landing ramp. It felt great and I was generating much more speed. After this I managed 5 or 6 tap manuals where I jumped the lip and both wheels landed on the down ramp. There are even faster so from now on I will try and do those instead of manuals.
I didn't have as much success on the second jump although I managed case my front wheel on the lip of the second double which is much better than I usually do. I will keep practising first straights to see if I can get to manual this jump by the end of the summer.
I also practised jumping into peddle manual on the tabletop at the start of the second straight which is much faster than pumping it. Tomorrow I am going to try and jump this tabletop as well as I am just and just casing the landing still.
