After work tonight, I headed out with Brandon to Crazy Acres for some track time. When we got there, there were a few track regulars there showing us how fast the track can be ridden. We got ready and hit the track to show them how slow the track can be ridden!

It was a great evening of practicing corners and catching air. Brandon tweaked his handlebars for better positioning and he helped me get my brake pedal positioned at a more comfortable level. (It was way too high for me.)

I cleared the two main tabletops, although the larger one was less impressive than the smaller one. I looped it out on the big one, but pulled out okay. I was even working on getting a little crooked in the air, although compared to someone who knows what they are doing it probably looked like I was having a seizure in the air.

I worked on committing to corners and trying to be a lot more smooth and it really made a difference. I felt like I really made some big improvements, although I still need to figure out how to commit to clearing the quad section. Yikes!

Thanks to Steve Corrie at Trackmasters for touching up the track on Monday. We definitely noticed the difference.
