Got to the Cornwall track by about 12 and did a good bit of practice ready for the race tomorrow. The track is nice except for the second jump on the first straight which is too throwy and steep to manual properly and too far for me to jump. The rest of the track is pretty good although it is raining tomorrow and it has dirt berms which will be fun!
I managed to get to a point where I could hit the second jump without breaking so I should have an advantage over some of the guys I saw who were breaking so that they could pump the jump. I basically hit it at full speed and jump manual and try and stay on. Not the prettiest bit the best I can do at the moment.
I am not sure if I will ride flats or clips tomorrow it depends what the track is like in the morning I guess.
My son did one lap got scared and is not racing tomorrow! I tried to get him to do a few more laps to get his confidence back up but the didn't want to so I let him go back to the car. I will try to get him to do a few laps in the morning to see if he will race but I don't want to push him to do something he doesn't want to as that is when you get hurt.
