Ymsa Round 2


aust

Recommended Posts

I rode intermediate, did really bad. It was my second time riding natural ever and

I managed to 5 all the sections first time round.

BUT...

I had such a good time, its really chilled out and i'm definitely coming to the next one cuz it was awesome. Meeting new people and just talking was really good and it was far more relaxed than i thought it'd be!

I learnt more in one day than i have learnt from the last two months of riding street everyday.

I got a few cleans after I worked out what I was doing.

And most of all it made me realize how much fun natural can be. So ill be getting in some practice before the next one!

Can't wait!

EDIT: I was on the black bt (the only bt there to my knowledge)!  B)

ai, you kept stalking me everywhere i went :lol:

ooooh i remember seeing you. i kept thinking you looked like TRA :P

Hahahha, i thought that too :mellow:

Lol, i know andy quite well and have never thought that but now you say it i can see it :S

Really enjoyed yesterday, was my first ever comp and had no idea what to expect. Thanks a lot to all of those who helped me get an idea of what to do etc!!

Was really nice seeing and meeting people i only knew by what they're like on here or msn.

As for the comp, was great fun but completely different to what i had expected. I entered myself in intermediate, and the sections were very different to how i imagined them to be.

When i go and ride natural i'll quite happily hop around on rock all day and attempt so bigger ups etc. But these sections didn't really contain any really difficult objects (rocks) except the beginning of section 7 just couldn't get over that damn rock should have used a dab but i was too suborn and tried it on all three goes, fiving it twice :D

I found that riding xc a lot really helped me on quite a few sections, like the steep drops or dodgy roll downs. I had the confidence that i could just roll over the stuff.

Over all scored 41 which i was impressed with as my first go at a comp, also feel i could have got that down to 20 quite easily if i had used a dab in section 7 rather than fiving all three times. Also stupidly fived a couple of other sections.

In preparation for the next round, i'm taking my bike off to my local hills and riding some xc stuff as i feel that'll help me improve loads. I found that i rarely dabbed trying to go over an obstical, it was more dabbing due to trying to ride up and down the slopes and loose rocks slowly.

PS: i was on the 26" levelboss with the rear vee and avid disc and nice bluey bits :P

Hi everyone,

Sunday was great, now my second comp and i enjoy it more and more every one i go to. I love riding natural now even though i have only rode it twice lol i prefer it to street. I think i did ok :mellow: . I did intermediate on a koxx levelboss 20inch. I think i dropped about 35 or something like that :P . but Compared to Ashley butler who dropped an amazing 4 :D" .

It was great to see loads of new faces anyways i am defintely doing the next one so i will see you all again :P .

Thanks to all the observers :S
