The conditions were less than ideal, but honestly
it was pretty fun. On my hot lap, right off the bat,
I almost went over the bars and knocked my hand
guard into my front brake lever. My front brake was
not on enough, but it was on enough that I could ride
and I thought it was insanely slippery. I went over the
bars almost two more times after that before I got it
figured out. From then on, it was just kind of recovery
and trying to be on my lines. The amateurs took a lot
of crazy lines so it was hard to know where you were
going, almost, especially with the conditions. Hard
to see out there. I recovered a little bit and had some
fun, so that’s all that matters.
I won everything I entered, so that’s how we want
to do it. I definitely struggled a little bit on Saturday.
We had a different gearing setup on the bike and tire
just because we wanted to keep the good stuff for
Sunday when it mattered. We made those changes
in the very first moto. I instantly was just climbing
stuff that yesterday I was struggling on, even though
it rained last night. So something worked out in my
favor there. In that final race, I was following Wade
there for a bit. At some point I got around him. I don’t
remember. It was just tricky with all the lappers. I felt
kind of bad passing people. It is what it is, I guess. I
nailed a couple hits so perfect. There was one creek
scattered with people and second lap I came through
and I rode all the way to the top I think without put-
ting my foot down, maybe once. I couldn’t believe
it. Then I never did it again even close. You get lucky
here and there. It was a great weekend. The bike was
unreal. It made my life a little bit easier. n
