Only because I'm on a works computer. I'll try it on my phone in the small hours.kiwikrasher wrote:Sure did!D6Nutz wrote:Not had a chance to look as the video yet as my phone doesn't seem to like it.
Sounds like you had a cracking day though, and the bike did you proud.
Has anyone else had trouble with that clip?? I might of stuffed something up when I uploaded it

It's my phone and videos in Tapatalk mate. Happened with quite a few vids. I'll have a gander on the laptop over the weekend.

Re: Eastern Creek Track Day
Got 60 all up. These are from. Dropbox link I just got emailed. The high res copies are being posted home on a USB. Got a lot of body position to work on before I go framing! My outside foot sticks out terribly!

Re: Eastern Creek Track Day
The foot is an easy fix, drag it back on the peg an inch.
The rest looks fine to me.

Re: Eastern Creek Track Day
The foot position is something I've always struggle with too, but with it being on the outside does it really matter ?
For me anyway there is already enough processing going on in my tiny brain when steaming into a corner at speed so IMO sometimes what works and is natural is the best.
Not dismissing Kwacky comment though. Its good advice and I hope it works.

Re: Eastern Creek Track Day
In my situation it kind of does, I really want to get that outside knee locked in under the tank better as on turn 1 one lap it actually came off the peg as I was hanging off at about 160 km, I kept calm and just continued the corner but it was a bit disconcerting!!Blade wrote:The foot position is something I've always struggle with too, but with it being on the outside does it really matter ?

Re: Eastern Creek Track Day
Tbh that avatar is a very old photo on my B1H at Oulton Park but I really like it as everything is grey accept me and the bike so it really stands out. Almost like a black and white shot but I'm in color by using some trick filter on the camera, but it isn't its just how it happened.kiwikrasher wrote:That pic actually looks very similar to your avatar!Blade wrote:I'm liking the first photo of the second post.

Yeah I know that's why I like it
