That's cool!!!!! I think I bent 2 control arms on the route I took on the last one!!

3 of 4 in my first try.

I bent up both upper and lower arms, bent my skid all up, blew two belts (1100 T), and shat my pants twice...........LOL

Yeah, some of the "safe" routes would have been scarier than the "not safe" routes LOL!!

Makes ya think though!!!

Very Cool 3/4 built in mouse pad got me on the last one.

 

[jmom]

Very cool link Mike. I caught this on Facebook at work today, on break of course.

3/4 visually, I say visually because the damn mouse at work today was touchy or maybe it was all the caffeine.

After educating myself by reading each red zone, I found some pretty gnarly lines and side hills in the legal areas too.

My mouse sucks but the touch screen laptop I have is the ticket,use a plastic pad pen and you can get it every time.

Imagine if you were actually doing the route, yikes no over head view.

X2, its great if a person makes it with out incident but afterwards take the time to see how many correct routes exists and also go the wrong route, read why not and learn from it!

Good stuff Mike. I was thinking of our discussion in your intro avy class. Look forward to riding with you this year.

For sure! There are several routes that don't trigger the "warning/failure" for each area. Some give you a broad area of safety, others are quite realistic and just a little either way triggers the warning. Sometimes 5 feet literally defines whether you are safe or getting pulled over that convex roller with a dry hard slab

I must be getting old, I got the shakes too bad to keep the mouse in a straight line!

That comes from hot weather. They'll be gone soon!
