 Not bad. Never knew about that line, going to have to try it out next time i'm at the Hill.

PS, Aston this time of year sucks.

PPS, why you always locking up the rear?

 lol you joking right... its cornered off in the race but it's briliant and fast when your not racing... the guys from team aston hill were crashing as well on this cause you carry so much speed into the corner hence why i stacked cause i came in to fast and completely forgot what i was doing Frown

yep it does... it was a shit myself moment i aced it after though so its cool Big Grin

 Good on you for being able to ride that line. Regardless of who rode it before and crashed, the end of the story is, you need to work on not locking up the rear especially in damp conditions. There's plenty of ways to slow down. Your rear tire was locked up from near your point of landing, to where you ended up on your bellend. Another tip, transfer your weight as low as possible. Push your left pedal to the ground so soon as you slip out, it'll help prevent you losing control. But hey, what do i know, you do you.

 Cheers, yeah i f*cked it up and paniced but thanks for the advice... did see a couple of the pros staying lower at the race but never really thought about it so will work on that... and yeah i do have a tendancy to panic on that particular corner coming up as its not been my favorite but i got it right in the end... will upload a video now actually Smile
