If you see some skid marks heading into the trees halfway down the hill... that was me.... with my trademarked "flash of black" going into the bushes...
i did see that!
i knew someone was riding it that day. spent most of my lap trying to catch you, even though i had no idea how long the skid and tyre tracks had been there.
I was tweaking my rear brake the week before, but ended up ""untweaking"it instead. This has resulted in too much lever reach, not enough stopping power and a really weird grinding noise at high speeds (40kmh +). All this results in seeing a corner coming, applying the brakes, realising that im not slowing down, squeezing the S!@t out of the brakes, locking up and going bush instead of going around the corner!
I pulled everything apart last night and changed my rotor and pad set up - still have a bit too much reach - will work on it today.
Im still impressed with your time on the DH track! Very nice work indeed!
I did see a lockup at the top of one of the waterbars that was heading in the wrong direction and wondered how it got there. Good to hear you survived ok.
