Video of our stroll through hw33 yesterday. It's boring in some parts, I'm a pretty cautious passer and there was some traffic. 4th time on the 33 so I'm still learning the turns hence excessive braking. gotcanyons.net/vid/chris.wmv

are you in front or rear? whoever is chasing gets way too close imo. makes me nervous on the street...

I'm in the front.

Yea he does get close. Like I said I'm still learning the road and use too much brake, took him a while to get used to my "style".

 

d/l'ing now. youtube it next time!

 

based on the credits that said the lead rider was chris, i'm gonna go ahead and presume that was him...

edit: neeevermind... forgot to refresh the page after i watched the video, haha

 

i would say you might want to try and keep your head from crossing the double yellow

Yea I didn't know it was that bad until I saw the video... gotta work on that.

 

yea, i had the same problem

 

i think you're turning in way to early and hugging the yellow, so does the guy recording. i realize you said you aren't familier with the road, so maybe that's the problem? also, you look at alot more comfy taking rights then left. cool video overall, makes me wonder what i look like.

 

Hmmm... I only watched the first third or so of the video, but I hope you realize you lines are totally fucked up. How much riding experience do you guys have? You not really scooting along to good and it seems as though you are having a hard time controlling your lines... That's a bad thing. I am sure you didn't post this for us to tear you a new *******, but dude... smooth yourself out. Chopping at the throttle and hacking at the handlebars ain't gonna get you a long riding career. Azi used to be a good road but have not gone for years because there is much better riding out there. Be careful out there and work on that technique.

Yep, I had a tough time being smooth, wind gusts were killing me. Really good obvious examples are 2:40 and 7:50.
