I agree. I started riding on the ice pretty seriously about 7 or 8 years ago, after racing mx for 20 years, as an A rider, pro license etc.. It definitely takes some time to commit to throwing the bike sideways. You can ride into the corner normally, turn and get on the gas, but coming in pitched sideways, getting...

Nick Weys 2004? rm250 practice bike with factory suspension on it. He had the rebound damping so slow, I almost looped it out over the first two jumps..
