nervous.. (updated)

[Jace009gs]

I like a challenge.  So I decided to try it while looking directly at the front wheel.

That didn't work out so well.  I did practice my target fixation skilz by staring at both of the lines I crossed over.  Ultra nice!

The hot chick in my class with the low rise jeans nailed it like she'd done it a brazilian times.  I am humbled.

well the harley chick in my group nail the ground....the old gentlman never put his feet up on the pegs as I recall...and everyone locks up the rear tires at least once or twice during the sudden stops...

LESSON #2
The gs's disk brakes are 500x better than drum brakes...this means you can lock up both tires I have locked up the front tire doing a practice stop in a parking lot.

ok back to the program
I was able to nail the "box" but I think that was due in part to having a class A CDL [semi-truck licens] and I used every inch of space available with-in the lines.....FYI don't listen to me I got the nick name Speedy at my MSF because I was the one with riding experience and was able to get the nighthawk up to the rev limiter....whopping 25mph in 3rd gear

i dont understand why i couldnt nail it.

Turn your head MORE.  

I screwed it up every time I tried...  Except on the test.   :dunno: I found that if I turned my head more than I thought I needed to, then I'd actually be able to pull it off...

Hanging off helped A LOT too.

yeh thats what the ridercoaches kept saying, and i did turn my head, but i felt like if i dont have the bike in sight, even slightly, i might drop it, and thats an auto fail, so i gladly took the 5 points off for crossing 2 lines then an auto fail.

oh and yes, hanging of the bike helps immensly, thats hw\ow i did as good as i did, even tho i didnt do it perfectly, it must be way harder on a bigger bike tho, on a 250 it feels like you can pick it up and put it into your pocket, the gs is bigger tho,i guess ill find a parking lot somewhere and practice practice practice, and hope it dont tip it.
