You did a nice job of chopping time off over the course of your runs. And you made adjustments after a DNF and hitting cones to finish with a clean run. Based on your build thread, you have solved the power steering issue. But I still see a lot of hand movement on the wheel. You are shifting your hands and going hand-over-hand. You are also coming back to 10 & 2, instead of 9 & 3. You're losing leverage on the wheel and making sharper (not smoother) inputs. It's hard to see from the video, but that generally means your inputs are delayed and you are turning the wheel more than you need to (which costs you time/speed). You've got fast hands that can get you out of trouble, but the solution is to not get yourself into trouble. At your next event, try to focus on keeping your hands on the wheel at 9 & 3. The course seemed to have a lot of sweepers that would force you to look/think around corners. You were turning your head to look your way around the corner, which is good. But it looks like you could have entered a little faster and rolled back onto the throttle earlier in those elements. You have to think about the exit of the sweeper and the element after, even if you can't see them as you are entering the corner. Finding an "attack cone" inside the sweeper can provide a marker to start rolling back onto the throttle. You did a great job of maintaining "steady-state" throttle in the slalom, but I think you could have gone faster in that element. And you could have been earlier on the cones. If the slalom leads into a fast element, try to accelerate out of the slalom as early as possible. In some cases, you can start accelerating prior to the last slalom cone. All in all, you did a better job of linking elements together in the places where you could easily look ahead. That allowed you to attack and still be smooth. The areas with limited sightlines were the ones that had you looking at the elements right in front of you, instead of as far ahead as possible. I know you've probably seen this video, but I was dealing with a similar challenge at an event last season...[MEDIA=youtube]qHG5a3I_u3o[/MEDIA]Great job! I'm looking forward to seeing your videos from the next event.</blockquote>
