Although it was claimed to be a smoother track the ride looked really stable and predictable where you could rail and flick how you wanted.  Even Jett says flat turns are hardest for him so don’t let the lack of deep ruts fool you still for bike skills and the need for the machine to not oversteer.  For less experienced riders knowing what gear to be in can be a big factor overlooked or a slave to like if it’s a 2-stroke either on it or bogging.  To learn a particular gear for a few laps is a big advantage if you got a bike like this to use the range of power.  All they talked about all year was how much power the Yamahas have so I was surprised to see it wasn’t too much to handle to get back on the seat and trust the suspension and power to the ground at a rather steady and consistent pace.  It looks a lot more user-friendly for non top pros under those conditions.  It wouldn’t have been very helpful for me to see you hire Webb to run a sand session pinned like he just put out or Supercross practice track since most people who buy the bikes aren’t doing triples, rhythms, or cupped out whoops sections.  Some bikes sound rather fake when they revv.  With basic Ed your videos make good quick sense and just enough visuals and talk.
