My plan is to shorten the first double, but put a roller or drop off before it to soak up some speed, then the second double can be moved back slightly, and be angled more up the hill. That will flow better for everyone. Also, moving the table that people were cutting so it fits better, and lastly the landing of the camel hump by the fence shall receive a taller landing. More of a table top landing where you can step up on top or clear the whole thing. I think all of the other issues I heard about are just from the jumps being fresh. Once they frim up in the next weeks, they will feel more consistent. I might actually get to ride this so called new track on the 22nd, hoping for good weather.
What did everyone think of the "big table" by the woods?
The first set of the sweeping six just needs a taller lip on the take off. The reason people were missing the second set is because you had too much momentum landing the first set. Making the second set wider would obviously help too, but i think the distance on the first set is perfect, just more of a lip for a little more air would slow the momentum a little and allow us too set up for the second set a little easier.
Yeh, the faces got a little sketchy on saturday but as JO said, it takes time for fresh faces to firm up. I give the guys credit for re-shaping all the faces for sundays race.
The back table is awesome! I think it's always been my favorite jump there. Although, i do think that with the face being taller that it needs to be extended a little bit. It was REALLY easy to over jump. Maybe another 5-10 feet. The face did throw you perfect though.
The start still needs some tweaking though. You come around that 1st corner sweeper so fast that its sketchy making that off camber right back in to the track. I think they should use the old straight to straight, just for the start though. Then still use the sudden right hander after the tunnel jump during the races. Also, the step us is cool and fun, but maybe a little too soon for the start of a race. Im sure our buddy #145 could attest to that (anyone know how he's doing?). I think that straight to straight could help with that by giving more time to seperate riders.
Other than that the layout flows way better! I was very pleased with COCR this weekend! But at intermission don't disc over the corners that already have 5 good lines. Discing over them when the dirt has been dried out just makes the corners 1-lined berms for the second set of motos.
I would add a few more rollers after the step-up too. 1 or 2 more would be sweet!
Ok, im out of breath. Kudos to everyone at COCR and around the District trying to make us, the racers, happy! Keep it up!
