ART Course - Completion
Just got back from ART. OMG that course rules!
Luckly mothernature held out, and we had no rain on the track. The sun came out here and there and warmed the track up. Bye bye chicken strips.
Everyone had a blast, and everyone walked away unharmed. Jody bit the dust in the hairpin infront of me, but her frame slider saved the bike, so it was still ridable for the rest of the day, and she walked away unharmed.
Most insane moment was coming down the stretch before the hairpin. It was the last run out, and most of the fast riders and all the instructors were out. I was coming down fast, and had one newbish' rider infront of me. I knew Troy (instructor) was bombin' it behind me, and was gonna fly by in the hairpin, but the rider infront didn't see him coming, so he slammed on his brakes. Me seeing a stopped bike (or so it seemed) infront of me, grabbed a hand full of front brake and pull my first endo.
I think I was at the peak of the endo when I looked over (all life slowed to a halt) and Troy was passing by looking at me, and I'm sure he was thinking "what the fook are you doing?".
Luckly the hard brakin' exercise came into play, and I didn't dump the bike, and caught control again.
In all, had a blast! If you haven't taken this course, and are looking to improve your techniques, I highly recommend this course!
