I am impressed by the style exhibited for these drops, especially the last one on the rock*.

Clothing: I see an extremely long helmet buckle strap happening and some dumb girl socks (as in a dumb height, not a measure of intelligence), which are those knee high socks the female riders tend to like. It should be noted that knee high socks are acceptable.

And heal fast @Santapez

*not fashion style, riding style

That looks like fun, I’m sure you made it look easier than it was! I sure can learn something attending to one of those classes. When and where is the next one? We must have barely missed you on Sunday, it was one of the rare occasions I managed to get my wife to ride in the woods...heal up soon @Santapez !

we were at the school for a bit starting around 10 am... not sure when we got to that rock spot tho. this particular one was more of a private clinic that karin set up and i hopped on.... so there's always that option to do private clinics... split the cost with some friends.

it sounds like Kathi is looking to do another more open clinic at port jervis... and then she usually does some stuff at creek...

I'll hop in if you schedule it 8+ weeks from now. I can use help with drops.

Or you could train one handed and seriously kill it once fully recovered...1st week of October?

A lil redemption, with the added bonus of rolling with OOS to give you that confidence back. Lol.
