@AndrewTaylor: Thunder is one of the best BP on the east coast IMO. Some trails there were built by Gravity Logic. They are building new trails all the time including a HUGE Jump trail. Hawlywood is another great jump trail there. A lot of tecky east coast rocks and roots knar. Awesome place to ride.

What a great season ender. Big thank you to to ESC crew for putting on such a great series. See y'all next year!!

@fabdemaere: @RoninXXX yes, you are correct, Don't know what the hell I was thinking, I had a rough day yesterday and was wanting to get out on the course all day so I had golf om my mind. HAHAHA that funny I said Bubba Watson. Yes I meant James "Bubba" Stewart.

so pretty much there are 2 ways to hit a jump, 1. preload your suspension into the face of the jump and go nice and high with lots of air time over the jump. This the the slow way 2 the other way is to SCRUB the jump. in this fashion, you absorb the jump into the jump so you can stay low as possible and maintaining speed over the jump. 2a. another way to scrub a jump is what @chrisk71 said above. this is called a "bubba scrub" names after Bubba Watson MX racer. This is THE FASTEST way to go over a jump as it keeps you low and fast over the jump. The reason they are scrubbing these jumps are because they want to maintain as much speed as possible without over shooting the transition landing and also because the first jump spits them out with way too much speed for these jumps and they would end up landing flat. When done properly it looks super cool, when done not so good, it looks just like a simple whip.

I bet he got really familiar with the stranger!! HAHA
