Cross Creek Remake of track!

At first I was a little nervous about the steep step-up in the middle of the track. After about 5 times doing it, it was really cool flying over it and landing on the down side with no problems. When I was not hitting it hard enough it felt like a kicker but even when I got kicked the bike was in perfect position for the landing. The faster I hit it the better it felt and was a lot of fun.

The new S turns in the back were really great also. It was a section where you can practice / race going into corners with a lot of speed and hard breaking. Once that section gets broke in it will be a lot better. In that section the last turn going to the jump that is cut out for water run off is really soft sand. I had to sit back on the back wheel to get better traction. I could not get the speed up for the jump but my son had no problems.

The new double double section is not as hard as it looks. The main thing is to hit the first double with enough speed and then just a little gas to make it over the second. When I would hit the first double a bit short it was hard for me to make it over the second. My son told me it was because I did not know where the throttle was. The trouble with that statement is he was right. Both doubles are case able and safe. They flow real well when doing them.

I really like the start! When you hit the first jump, you are going in a straight direction vice in a turn. I think that will have an impact on less race start crashes. The old Jump 1 is now jump 6 or something like that and you hit is straight. I could never make that jump before but now it makes the entrance to the RUT corner much nicer.

This track is the best track in the area as far as I am concern! It has something for all level of riders, flows real good. If you have not already ridden there it is a must. Great jumps, Ruts, Berms for railing, more than one line, great atmosphere, great people = Great Day!

The only thing I did not like but adapted to it. I did not like the jump after the rut section. Before you could jump all the way to the bottom before the slight left hand turn. Today I had to jump short to the top of the camel hump so I could make the turn on the inside. Even at that I would sometimes have to go to the outside. The nice thing about it was I could jump the next table with no problems which I could not do with the old track.

Everyone should thank these guys that have put so much work into this for us. If people only new how much work it is! The best way to thank them is support the track by riding here. More riders mean more races!

Pictures at later time!
