I also posted this on MTBR CO local forum.
Since I'm racing the Keystone Climax race this weekend (my first DH race), and have done the course enough times to finally feel comfortable on it and my new DH rig, I've got a question:
Who hits the wooden ramp on 'Paid in Full' at FULL SPEED?
Me, being a sissy newbe seriously speed checks before hitting it. Albiet I still get launched far enough that I land on the tranny and I've never, ever had a hint of nose diving, I'm still super intimidated by the jump.
Can some of you out there lend some advice for us who feel the need to scrub speed before the launch? Let's all assume for arguments sake that we're on DH race bikes.
Thanks in advance for your help!
