back from camp....

[Irulan]

I do have some pics of the stunt progressions. I need to edit/resize them etc. They were great progressions, and the coaches made sure you were really solid on one be fore they'd let you go on to the next one. And then if you started getting shaky, they'd size you down until you were feeling comfortable. They wouldn't let you leave a session without sucess at some size.

My friend who went with me, they have a stunt course in their back yard, but it's fairly high off the ground with big jumps. She's going to try and get him to build some smaller things.


We don't have many stunt like things around here to practive on, that's why they were unfamiliar territory for me. Pads are mandatory on all the trail rides. All the Canadian wear them just as an everyday fact of life. I didn't have them last time I went to camp, ( none of the americans did) and they had to loan them to us. While some hard core folks say you are a poser if you wear them, I find they are great when ever I am going to be challenging my self, or riding somewhere where the penalty for a crash is higher.

Here are the switchback photos. This is right before I tipped over, It's time to work on my unwillingness to commit to the line...



and some less steep ones...
