yeah! Looks like it's going to be good but I'm in town so don't get too excited.
So Scoot is it going to be better in the morning tomorrow or in the afternoon????

That answer depends largely on when you will be there (just kidding)

If forced to choose a time frame on East wind, I always put my bets on late afternoon, you know that.
Not to say it won't blow all day (who knows?), but late afternoon until sunset and night riding almost never fails on Easts.

Early afternoon is the worst bet, but it might happen, I guess.

Hey Kev, I spent ALL morning learning to ride blind. I actually went 50 yards once before eating it.
It definitlely is an odd feeling and weird learning curve.

Scott. That's Excellent! are you popping into it? We'll see tomorrow hopfully. Once you dride that way for a bit it is really easy just like riding toe side. Are you still wearing that seat harnes though. That makes it much harder... Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow. Maybe I'll plan on riding the whole day!!!! I need to work on my handle passes.

Not unhooked (duh... today was first day I even tried... not gonna try it unhooked).

Yeah. Seat harness. Unfortunately, my back kills me when I wear a waist harness. I might start wearing one for an hour or so when I ride. I can't wear one much more than that without low back pain.
I was ollie hopping into it.
It does put a lot of strain on the harness and spreader, I can tell you that.
I snapped the spreader in two!!
Good thing Randy and Cindy have gear out there to buy.

yep - the waist harness works a little better just because it slides around a little.

anyway, I guess this afternoon looks better than this morning now. only reading 12-13 currently......
