@djfrogdj 2 cams would be good but cant justify the extra $ on an extra cam yet. Spending too much money on this new hobby already! Would be nice to see my back wheel sliding everywhere on the grass though because i needed a new tyre before this trial.
@djfrogdj Yeah mate, i had only been riding motorbikes for 6 months before the 24hr so slowly getting better. Just need to learn to lean the bike over in the turns more to be quicker and work on my braking. I'm addicted though and will do the full Reliability season in 2012. :-)
@djfrogdj Hey mate, yeah it was awesome countryside! The 5th and 6th stages were a bit dodgy with lots of large hidden rocks in the longer grass that made it a bit dangerous but the other courses were great fun. Nice to do some stages with climbs etc.
Have you ever thought about running 2 cams - 1 looking behind as well as ahead?
You could catch tail spray, roosts, the works with a rear cam while - not to mention what other approaching riders or spectators are doing

Yep, I hear what you're sayin' about the bucks...
I reckon you're riding a little more fluant as well since the 24. Would you agree?

Nice work! It takes time and a few "get offs".
Play riding and having someone in front of you to catch goes a long way in helping.
I use to catch myself not looking far enough ahead to size up the track - don't fall into that trap.

@djfrogdj Yep, thats my problem too! Need to learn to look further up the track and trust the suspension to soak up the bumps. :-)

Good to see you're keeping up the videoing, 76Ridgeback.
Clare MCC had access to some top country to ride through (at least it did when I was riding). It's even better up there in the wet.
Did you have a good run?
