Yeah, you've seen video of the guys at Isle of Man coming over those hills and getting a nice jump. It's kinda like that. Puts a huge :D on your face.

You can probably catch air if you hit the curbing on the left side of T7 going down the hill, but it will mess up your braking into the next tight right. I was more comfortable staying just inside the curbing and braking down the hill. See the 1:00 mark here: " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yeah, for the guys that have not been to Barber before. If you have not been looking at the track layout, and watching video studying the track. Start now, and do as much as you can this week. It will help.

This is a good video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7uQtMJVhx8

Actually riding the Cresson track hasn't stopped you from offroading there, either. :-D

He's going to be dropping his bikes off at my place tonight if you want to swing by. I was going to throw some burgers on the grill, I can add one for you as well.
