    Remember posting this before my first trackday and getting told to stop being an idiot. Well now ive done 3 and actually jumped it... how do you get proper air? I go in through right hander wind it on in second and sit the bike straight in the middle of the track just before front lifts. Is it just a case of more speed???


    Cheers chaps!

    Saw you goin round YT I reckon if you back off some of the lean angle you'll get more drive thus quicker. :)

    Did the evening session Alex Lowes was in my group testing fuel OMG passed me like I was going backwards honestly not experienced anything like that before he passed me on hair pin by the time I'd cleared it he'd done the start finish straight SICK!!
