you should always be pinned. its not a matter of beating a time. it's not like you're there to win a race. you're there to ride as fast as you can. at least that's how i feel. i never just go ride to cruise. i'm always there to try and kill it.
Ya but you blow past some cool lines off to the side if you're just trying to get down as fast as possible. 99% of the time going fast is why I'm out there but once in a while I want to see what else I can do with a trail.
Not always. The staircase on Tunnel for example - you could just bomb down from right to left taking the 3 small waterbar drops in a row, or you could stay right and do a fun 4 foot rock drop to a tranny. It's a little slower getting from the beginning of the section to the end, but I think it's more fun and a little trickier because that part is off camber for the runup to the drop.
Watch Plush 2. SB local Duncan Riffle has a section completely dedicated to Tunnel. You'll see him ride lines that you've never seen before. It's pretty sick
Yes that Plush 2 section gets my adrenaline going every time I watch it. Didn't he get robbed out of some award for that by the Shandro/Watson segment in the Collective? I still have yet to see someone make Tunnel look that easy in person.
Real Sick, Real Simple and Keep it Real all have a fair amount of SB footage in them because the director, Matt Collins, lives in SB. You may have a hard time finding them on anything but VHS because there all about 10yrs old. Check you Matt's website: http://www.solidphoto.com/ I've had a chance to meet him on a few occasions, super cool guy. Really good director too.
