Dirt Merchant Revisited. Lets try that again.
Last time I posted a run on Dirt Merchant I was sort of lambasted for treating the trail like a telephone (ie hanging up) and stopping on the trail. This is my latest attempt and I think I have made some improvements. Other than nearly getting shot into a tree on the first step up and almost landing in the flat on the second whip off jump on Lower A Line, I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Still have yet to hit some of the biggest hits on the series but getting closer. Next step is that bloody creek gap at the end of Dirt Merchant.

Can't wait to hear what I'm doing wrong this time.

Anyone got any good tips on how to do a table top?

I did pass the guy. The first guy is a friend of mine who I bumped into. They got similar jerseys but I did pass him. I almost landed on him a couple times that day.

turn the bars slightly and your inward hand after this motion should roll slightly around the bar giving you that leverage to pull the bike flat easily. if you do not roll your inward hand around the bar your arm will just bottom out on your side and you wont get flat. common mistake, now giver

I guess your doing better this time if no one is pointing out any mistakes, because no news is good news right?

I'd still like to try that wood plank drop at 0:19 seconds. Have rolled up to it a few times, but haven't tried it yet.

Well I guess I could lambast you about the tune but it puts a smile on my face. Looks like your riding is improving every year. Thanks for posting the vid.
