Power was good enough to raise some eyebrows, and get some attention,...and thats what this year was really about for me, making a name for myself. In order for me to be considered a threat next year, and to maintain a high level of competetiveness, I will absolutely need boost. The sled was suprisingly agile in the closed course environment,...it is well balanced in the air, and eats up the rough stuff without any problem. I will focus on a lower cg for next year so as to improve stability in the deep trenches.

This race was setup like a motocross track down low, with banked corners, and step up jumps, while the top half of the hill was pretty wide open and steep, complete with a cornice that was gated in and out. I was able to turn in times within 1-2 secs of the leaders on the lower 1/2, but as the course opened up on the top 1/2, the turbo sleds would nail me by 4-5 secs.:croc:

For 2011, I scored (2) top ten finishes, and had an 8th place qualifying effort at Jackson Hole. These results are nothing to brag about, but good enough to get me on the radar within the corporate ranks at Yamaha. :attention:
