ev.. Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 thanks for the invite, L'Oste what is an ex-pat, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev.. Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 am on the right path already, but Ryan Young is a bit too advanced? he spends 5 minutes on basic turning guess it'll be a while to suppress the impulse to slide down-forward and get that leg out in a turn or to keep that outside knee from pushing the bike down ... all the things I practiced over and over to turn them into a reflex I promise to be patient and do basic drills until I throw up hit up a few events if possible is that mandatory, Half a tire Right? 5 years ago I swore no more competiton and only got talked into one since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l'oste' Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 An ex-pat (expatriate)is someone now living outside their home country. I have another suggestion : Contact Brock Sattelmeier of TrialZone Atlanta Mail;brock.w.sattelmeier@lmco.com. Ask about his next club trial,ask about joining his club.Take yourself and your bike to the trial.You'll find lots of people willing to give advice.
