that's cool but it needs higher walls on the sides so you can wall ride around the whole thing.

It needs to be three or four times the diameter so you can do 3rd gear.

Oh, and drop the headlight.

Good practice for staying in your line/rut through a corner.

I'd spend all day dragging bars in that thing.

Not really

A tap or two on the brakes, and you'll be the guy in front in no time at all.

Sometimes you have to slow down to go fast. Smile

Where your dropping the throttle that low, i think it does matter.

I find it that i'm quicker turning right, mainly because i can't use the rear brake.


That looks like fun!

It doesn't matter what side, just keep your outside elbow higher. Turbo

That looks like fun. I definitely rail rutted left hand corners faster. I have better throttle control with it leaned over throttle hand up.

You can hear that this guy doesn't have as good throttle control going right. Your wrist is just in an odd position to do precise twisting.

looks fun! I'd like to see how fast a pro could blaze circles around it! If someone built one with berms as high as the S turn at Travs Pastrana's SX designed track in '09, I bet they could haul some ass around it!

Is that the same Geoff Braico who used to do bike tests for ADB mag?

I believe it was a father son combo of the Braico's?
