Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Maybe because they werent running flat pedals?Maybe because they only concentrate on fitness and not skills training.
Vetseun Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Maybe because they only concentrate on fitness and not skills training.I personally sincerely doubt it. But we are entitled to our own opinion.
jcza Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 All in the gorge. I reckon they were all running too little compression damping, and just tried to ride over the jumps, or just plain didn't get out the saddle and went bollas... Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThat's not Stransky, he's on a KTM
jcza Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Can someone please be kind enough to explain to me why Nino is riding in Rainbow stripes when Epic is not XCO?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 That's not Stransky, he's on a KTMTop is Stransky. Others are other riders
jcza Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Top is Stransky. Others are other ridersHe probably went OTB on them steps, not sure what they're called
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 I personally sincerely doubt it. But we are entitled to our own opinion.Probably a combination of being utterly wasted from riding at full taps to get a good start tomorrow morning, and the other factors I mentioned above. I know I've had times when I get to a jump and I need to remember to get out the saddle, or the setup before it was just wrong, and I've been bucked. Not that badly, but still. It happens either when you're seated when you hit it, or just ride it without preloading the jump and thinking you'll just sail over it, or with bad rebound settings.

Was removed for the event (there's a chicken line that is essentially a berm) and word on the marshalls group was it was at the gorge, which is just tabletops and a couple of steep grades.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 So he was riding the Spaz in the top pic?No. I don't know who the other 2 are. But they're not Joel

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 kYep. That's how you go OTB on jumps. And those pics were in the gorge, which is a jump line.
DIPSLICK Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 How many races, epics , has he done and competed in on a very high level, I seriously don't think lack of skills is an issue,,,,,shiiit happens but I seriously doubt the man needs a skills course, sometimes shittt "just jumps out in front of you" My2c
