Well today's one hour long practice got me familiar with all the jumps and rollers and I think I've got the track wired. I took about 8 runs from the second turn into the third straight over a small step-up, pulled up for the lip, down the backside, over a roller you had to pull up for (or it would launch you), and then practiced jumping the tabletop right after... its so close to the roller there's barely enough time to pull for it so i practiced jumping it. It has a nice long smooth back side so it if you don't make it, you are still on flat ground. After about 3 runs I was pumping it and my first sky over the jump was the most scary adreneline rush one could have.
I gave it about 4-6 more runs and actually made backside of the jump but not enough body english to drop the front end to the backside but I was clearning it. That made me feel better. There is just not enough time to pull manual the table right after the roller its too quick. Best way is to jump it. I'll try and get some photos of me jumping it and a pic of me starting from the gate.
All in all it was a good intense ride for an hour... a true body workout. I love it. And yes I had a full face helmet on. Always will. One can break bones, but not worth the head concussion if I wreck, which i don't think I will since i've got the track wired now. I know every roller, every jump and know how to pull for them. I don't plan on racing this year, but I will take gate practice. I need to re-learn how to take gates and also how to re-learn how to jump and table tops are perfect since they are flat on top and if you don't make it you just land flat and keep going.
Peace out peoples.
