Throw some tips in here, and help everyone out!!! Heres some of mine!

-Ride your bike like theres a guy trying to stab u (I got this tip from a AA rider national enduro status)
-Butt on the back of ur seat for sand straights and turns.
-Be on the tank, or front of seat i corners.
-After coming out of corners, get back on the seat for more traction.(Pull a small power wheelie)
-Elbows up (Classic)
-stand up and stay keep steady throttle in the rocks. (Wight a little back)

does anybody have tips for guageing speed needed for jumps? I just guess, and so far my judgement has been pretty good, but is there any secret "rule of thumb" or something? I have landed flat a number of times now and I don't want to replace my suspension anytime soon. haha

rich lafferty riding school.  He is an awesome teacher, if your close to NJ... MAKE THE TRIP.  well worth it, me being an A rider i still learned so much from him.  If you do something that he can help with he pulls you aside and talks you through it.  He breaks down EVERYTHING that you need to be aware off and gives you drills to practice on your own.

yes, rich lafferty is the brother of Mike Lafferty, 8-time national enduro champ.

Its pretty cool Mike grew up riding our local organizations events, ECEA (east coast enduro association), and now hes moved to the larger scale haha.  My family is pretty good friends with the lafferty's,we've known them for over 20 years.  In fact, this coming weekend i'm racing an enduro with Jack Jr. (lafferty).  But yeah i totally went off topic there...lol yeah well they are a great family! just so you guys know! lol
