Got up at 5:30 this morning to go to Tiverton but my car felt a bit weird so I thought that I had better not risk it so went to Bristol instead.
As a warm-up I did a pump lap followed by a faster lap where I manualled everything that I can manual an I then practiced on the third straight focussing on getting my weight over the back wheel when pumping. I also practiced jumping the table top and the double into the corner to get extra speed. I did around 10 of theses and then went into full speed laps.
Tried out my timer but it kept slipping around on the bar. I was using strava as well so I am using strava again. I have just done 3 motos a semi and a final and have taken 4 seconds off of my pb so really chuffed. Need to get some velcro to hold the timer in place then I think it will be good.
I am really pleased with my times today on Stavanger, my fastest lap is down from 33 seconds to 29 seconds so I am 4 seconds faster than last month 😀!
I am taking this time with a pinch of salt as Stava is not the most accurate for measuring times but even so 4 seconds is a huge jump in times.
I then practised doing the 3rd Straight a bit more and jumping into the 3rd corner I videoed a few of the attempts. On the last attempt I cased the jump and moved the back wheel out of position so I decided to call it a day and go home which was a good call as it started raining as I was driving away from the track.
I have just been looking at the videos and I wasn't as close to clearing the jump as I thought so I haven't bothered uploading the video to youtube. I have watched the video a few times so I know where I am going wrong and it is that I am not dropping the front wheel on landing so I am casing the back wheel, I am also not crouching down before the jump which I will concentrate on next time I am at the track.
