Looking good man, not bad at all. Keep up the work and you're going to see improvements every time you go out.

That track looks SUPER fun. Our local track here, 3 Palms, is deep and Sandy like that.

Not bad, keep putting in lap's and you'll continue to improve your skill's. Your vid timing is perfect, I find a vid hard to watch when it's 7-10 minute's in length and it's lap after lap of the same. Anyway, keep at it and have fun doing it.

Nice bud! Track looks awesome. Wish we had dirt like that here in the west coast.

Only thing I want to point out is around 1:35 you cross the track on a jump. Try to keep that to a minimum to keep yourself from getting landed on. Otherwise, keep it up!

Looking good, track looks fun as well. Just a quick thing I wanted to point out, don't be afraid to try and run a gear higher everywhere. Now before everyone beats me to death and tells me I'm an idiot because it's a 125, consider this. Rather than come into corners, brake, then pin it out, try to make it more of a fluid motion. By running a gear higher, I think it will force you to carry a little more speed into and through the mid part of the corners, and allow you to keep momentum a little better. Obviously this isn't always going to work, but on the wider corners I think it will help with flow a bit, and it's also a lot easier to jump and correct things in the air when you aren't completely revved out. Just something to think about, take it for what it's worth (approximately 2 centsCool )

I've never seen that track so smooth, was it an early morning weekend?
My goal is to clear the backside double and the double after the middle tabletop... I just don't have the balls to try.

I agree with this. When you can carry enough momentum around the entire track to ride a gear higher, you'll pick up quite a bit of speed. If you can find a big enough of an area, I would recommend making a turn track with sweeping corners and tight corners. Ride that as often as possible and make sure you get ruts to form. That'll be a huge help as well
