Yesterday, I went out for my ride on my new Enduro Comp SL. My ride is just over 7 miles and include's a myriad of smaller jumps, a cool horse trail with plenty of road apples to plow through and even a few muddy areas to boot. Two steep climbs and some good high speed drops too.:thumbsup:
One of the downhill's I take has a drop off to the right that I have looked at but never tried.
Well, yesterday was the day! It's a flat take off point with about a foot verticle drop right on the edge then a dirty grassy slope down at about a 3-1 for 15 feet. I HAD VISIONS OF LANDING WRONG AND GOING OVER THE BARS
I got the weight off my front wheel at about 15mph and off i went. I must have got maybe 24 inches off the ground. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET:thumbsup:
My landing was a bit wobbly, hell I still need alot of practice:madman: but I made it without eating it! I think it's my 235 pound weight still. It works against you, but when I get down to 205 look out!:madmax:
I know that ain't crap to most of you guys, but at 41 and a little overweight still, I AM FEELIN THE GROOVE DOGS
The Enduro Comp is that good. It gives a real novice rider BIG CAHONIES!:madmax: This bike is making me feel like :madmax: Evil Kneivel!:madmax:
