Bike is down for the count, Hopefully be back by Wednesday or Thursday. I got my new top end pieces today. Slaven recommended a B piston. I took it and my cylinder to the local machine shop to verify fitment. Turns out I need an A piston. I called Slavens from the machine shop parking lot. They had one in stock. hoping for Tuesday or Wednesday. I cleaned the rest of the parts, Looks like my adjustable power valve is pretty gummed up and not moving freely I've watched a couple of videos on disassembly and cleaning. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. :(

I had a fellow enduro rider share this with me so it wouldn’t be right unless I shared it with you guys! His clutch lever ball was cut in half! It gives the level clearance to not hit your other knuckle when doing single finger or two finger clutch action!

We talk about slipping the clutch so much….but what about when that doesn’t work? That’s what Nick and I were working on last week! Check it out! 👇

Nick introduced me to a new way of power delivery, and I had a crazy breakthrough this morning. We'll talk about it on tonights call.

We're revisiting the basics this week and talking about BRAKING! Specifically, braking body positions and becoming acclimated to our controls again. So this week we're going to work on our Straight Line Braking drill - which can be found here: https://www.skool.com/thepracticeloop/classroom/ca3aa4f0?md=fa016fc81a67453caa346d5f4b047b8c Once you get familiar with that, you can start playing with the progressions inside the "5 Drills To Build Downhill Confidence" https://www.skool.com/thepracticeloop/classroom/379f6c73?md=0c4035343b264b99991ff9711980979e Starting with just going down a hill as slow as we can - aiming to try and "stop" in the middle without putting a foot down. Then progressing to balancing and stepping over the bike to build some muscle memory for those situations where we can't get to the ground quickly in technical situations. And the next progression being working on turning down hill. Progressively making the turn tighter and tighter. @Mason Swan you get to work on Stoppie turns...just cuz. @Johanna Huber since you asked about tires, most of us in the group run Plews Tyres - which are primarily trail tires, but I think you'd enjoy the Grand Prix which I've linked below. You can get it for 10% off from Risk Racing (the link I've sent you) using code SPLAT10. This is a deep lug tire with a paddle tread so it should hold up in silt, sand, and mud pretty well too. https://riskracing.com/products/plews-tyres-grand-prix-intermediate-soft-deep-lug-enduro-rear-tire?_pos=5&_sid=556ac5b71&_ss=r
