Ok, it's rare for me to have a monumental achievement in my racing career, so I'm gonna brag about this one. Please hold your applause until the very end, thank you.
Last night, we had a tough class of 28+ with Melton, Eglintine, Cardwell, Spencer and myself. Well needless to say I came in last (Matt rode me high in the last corner and held on for 4th, wtg Matt!). So, eager to improve upon that finish, I stayed after to get some more practice laps in. Well first lap out, I run down the 1st straight as hard as I can, over the double and into the 1st turn, I go to manual the step-up, and I guess I got the right lift (or wrong lift) and end up jumping it! I had a friggin smile from ear to ear. Now while this may seem a minor accomplishment to some, this was huge cause I've always had this mental block when it came to jumping anything at RAD.
Looking foward to Thursdays race now!
