This track day was put on by the Track, No outside org. It was called the "Noobie" day for Newer/First Time riders

Skill Group is Unknown, They had two groups , The fast paced and slow paced, I was in the Faster Paced group.

This was my First track day on a bike and at this Track because its a Bike only race track, Though I have raced on 90% of the eastern tracks Race tracks in Formula Cars/Karts with multiple National championships!


I had a XT Lap timer and from the lap times I was running, I would of been in a Intermediate Group if this was a Normal Track day. Also I will note when I had clean laps my times were consistently getting better!

You totally won the race!! Lol j/k you're pretty quick around the track though. How's the bike coming along and how are you coming along with healing??
Oh and a totally newbie question since I've only been riding a year and have never been to the track. When you're getting more serious lean angles and stuff, do you lean more or push more on the grips?? Or is it a combination of the two??

Hey Thanks Man!! This sucks not being able to get back on the bike for awhile And it means alot to know people kinda care!

I Have got most parts either here or on the way for the bike! Its going to be a full out track bike from now on!

And About the lean Angle/Pushing, its a combo of both, I did find coming out of a turn if you push a little to hard and open the throttle too soon it will break the rear tire out (Scary) I totally Recommend getting on the track! Just take your time and work on the lines and being Smooth! Its alot easier then you think and you will get Hooked! I promise!!

The way you were passing all those guys up in the corners, there should've been a faster faster group.

 

You certainly looked like the speed didn't bother you and I know your hurt and can't ride but a have a few quick suggestions from what I saw. For the first time at the track you were ******* flying

Work on hitting your marks more. Sometimes you were getting a little lazy and missing some marks by a lot. It doesn't seem to important at the time because there weren't any other riders around but it's good habit to try and hit your marks every time. The instructors were consistently closer inside then you and hitting their apexes and at times even pointing at them.

You had some really nice clean outside passes throughout the entire video a lot of riders are afraid to pass on the outside and you clearly aren't one of them

You need to work on your smoothness a bit more. Being smooth will help keep the chassis settled and make your job that much easier. You turn the bike in nice and fast with one movement but sometimes it seems like you have a bit of trouble setting the right lean angle with that flick in.

If you work on being a bit smoother and hitting your marks you won't have to fight the bike all over the place like it seems you are doing in parts of the video and right before you high sided. You need to ride like that sometimes to get around someone but doing that lap in and lap out is just going to end up with you spending more time in the dirt. Your riding reminds me a lot of the way my brother rides at the track and we don't call him crash for nothing

Hey thanks Man! Yeah I was moving at a faster pace then most everyone there, But I really did not go to the track to put put around!

Yes your right, Setting up for the rights is hard for me, I am going to get some one whom knows what there doing to show me better body position and how to sit on the bike and how to lean off to help me.

Though all of this footage is of me passing people, and You and I know that you cant always take the best lines when passing. I have alot more tape of me hitting the Apex's Spot on for many laps in a row!

Any advice on setting up for rights?
