Cornering tip: To develop solid cornering skills for moderate to high speed flat corners, try rotating your torso to look into the desired direction of your turn with 'all 3 eyes'. As you increase speed, get lower and lower to keep a low centre of gravity, to be able to lean the bike over farther to gain traction and maintain momentum! Have fun!
I just wanted to extend a huge thank you to some people who really stepped up in the last week or so to help create a very successful Pump Track at the Outdoor Show.
The following people deserve some major props. There were some seriously late nights involved in the construction of this year’s track.
NSMBA Gus’ Hardware-Deep Cove
Dan Gronross Jordan Drinovz-EB Ben Wills-Capilano University (MBO Program) Dan Scott-Capilano University (MBO Program) Nick Smith-Capilano University (MBO Program) James Wilson-Obsession Bikes Rick Loader-Cove Bikes
Also: Paul Whitham-EB Dave O’Neill-EB Cavan Brady-On Top Chris Brown-EB
THANK YOU to all the spontaneous volunteers!
We also have a new ‘official’ course record, held by Ben Wills of Scotland at 144 laps without stopping or pedaling! Geoff Gulevich had a very impressive 101 laps for 2nd place.
