Wow it was tough. They merged the open class sections with the jsenior sections, so all the riders except elite had to ride the same course! zomg died. So off i went to ride the senior sections. I fived every section except for one of the easier sections, where I got 4 points. Here’s a quick primer on the rules for those of you who are a bit lost.
4 hours to complete 2 laps, each lap consist of 7 sections. The objective is to ride through every section within 2 minutes without putting your foot down. Each time you put your foot down it’s called a dab, and each dab gets you 1 point. Zero is the best score one can get on any section. 5 is the worst. Even if you’re halfway through the section and you put 5 dabs, you’re out.
There are a bunch of other rules that will get you more penalty points like breaking the section tape, falling, leaning on trees for balance or crossing the top tube with your leg foot. But this time they had not so strict observers. Observers are like judges that follow you around the section to see if you’ve made any dabs. I made quite a couple of top tube crosses and leans, but it’s i guess they didn’t notice, or didn’t know it was a penalty? xD
Anyways, conclusion, i need to practice on more rocks. Rocks are hard. Uneven stuff are insanely difficult. It’s not large moves, but all the technical hops and balancing that killed me. xD
you went back to comp already!!
what you meant went back… it’s my first comp!
