Today at Patetonga I became a better rider. Something clicked and I was able to put all the little things I have learnt and am perfecting into practice and the results were massive. I rode this track for the first time on Wednesday after school and it looked like it was really scary before I gave it a go. The guys riding there were really supportive and one gave me a guided tour of the track so I could see what it was like. I was gutted to be leaving after an hour and a half but couldn’t wait for Sunday to come. I haven’t ridden big track since leaving Australia, over there all the minis ride big track but they have cut offs and ride about half of it. Today it was just like riding in Canberra again – big red dirt/clay track with big jumps, big ruts and big whoops. I had so much fun, I went so fast, and it’s made me suddenly grow in my riding ability. I don’t know what I was so worried about with moving off the mini tracks… I can’t wait to ride Pro 65 from now on.
