KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BROTHER.I ride myself & use your expert tips .thanks really helps. Get understanding of this mystery while still time. Ephesians chapter 3:3-11 Paul is explaining a part of the MYSTERY of GOD .. CHRIST in YOU " 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the MYSTERY; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the MYSTERY of CHRIST) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the SPIRIT; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in CHRIST by the GOSPEL: 7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the GRACE of GOD given unto me by the effectual working of HIS power. 8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this GRACE given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the UNSEARCHABLE RICHES of CHRIST; 9 And to MAKE ALL men SEE what is the FELLOWSHIP of the MYSTERY, which from the beginning of the world hath been HID in GOD, who CREATED ALL things by JESUS Christ: 10 To the intent that NOW unto the principalities and POWERS in HEAVENLY PLACES might be KNOWN by the CHURCH the manifold WISDOM of GOD, 11 According to the ETERNAL PURPOSE which he purposed IN CHRIST JESUS our LORD.. Colossians chapter 2:2 2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of 'UNDERSTANDING, to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF the MYSTERY of GOD, and of the Father, and of CHRIST.... Revelation 10:7 King James Version 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the MYSTERY of GOD should be FINISHED, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Amen. Amen & amen...

I was able to pick up on your throttle timing for the jumps. Haven’t been a track guy since 97. Rode Glen Helen a 5 weeks ago and was afraid to get air. Used to clear the 60’ tabletop no problem. LOL, I checked up in front of any lip. I know I’d have confidence on anything I’ve done before because muscle memory would take over. On something I’ve never done, I guess rolling jumps and getting a few small ones in will help regain my confidence and lead to being a decent jumper again. So hearing your rolls versus launches has kind of re fired my old memory. 61 and still hitting dirt twice a week

@Stinky_sack 3 жыл бұрын
For those wondering, once you have some years of riding and racing on motocross tracks, hitting jumps becomes 2nd nature and you just get better at knowing how much to give it to clear the jumps. Better to over jump than under jump. You'll eventually get to the point where you can hit every jump on the track in your 1st practice session. Follow other riders, dont be afraid to stop and ask another rider that you've seen hit a jump you've been nervous about. Ask to follow him and copy his speed and stay right behind him.

Good video, but not the whole story. AJ is being a bit modest here. When the over/under began its life, Chad pushed big wet clumps of dirt and muck to get things formed up. Not anywhere close to finished, he comes AJ and eyeballs it. This, as a mere mortal, catches my eye. I’ve been to pastranaland, and I know what is coming. I pull off the track, find the shade, and watch the upcoming spectical. Mind you clumps are as big is beach balls, and AJ rolls over the top one or two times kinda kicking a half hearted path on the downside. Then jumps into the minefield. Easily under a 20’ jump, but he lands and the bike just kinda plops and stops due to the big wet clumps. Soon it appears to turn into “how much hangtime can I get”, rounded out with “let’s whip and slaps our friends hands who are standing on deck.” Meaningless to him, but fun to watch for me... and would have made a great video! Lastly, the vids of the laps do not do things justice- the track appears to be made of concrete, and his ruts are easily 10’’ deep of solid, no give, teeth chattering harshness. Fun to watch in person for sure! Stay safe and keep pounding laps!
