To add just a bit to what Dana said about Jimmy Lewis; it was more than riding fast during the fast stuff and riding the slow stuff slow. He said that the really good riders actually ride the slow stuff slower than the slow riders so that they are in control and picking their lines rather than when in doubt gas it out" kind of mentality. In addition he said that the really fast riders are on the gas hard but when they brake they brake really hard as well, this helps with the overall average of being "Fast". So one of my take aways is practice the braking and know how hard you can brake and what the bike is going to do under hard braking conditions. After hearing him talk and explain different things in small easily understood words I am more convinced to take one of his classes. He even said that he has a lowered bike which would work for Dorito.

It's not that I want to win it's........I just hate getting passed so I want to hold them off as long as possible. It's inevitable that I will get passed as I am not really fast or good but I don't have to like it. Pretty funny picture though....Raaaaa
