Nothing like a successful ride to make looking forward to the next one that much more exciting!

It's funny how sometimes things can really inspire someone to learn. I havent stopped thinking about todays ride. I noticed that the quad sat higher of course with the shock adjusted stiffer. That in turn put the tires more under the quad, giving me more traction. I have never lifted the tires as often as I did today. That leads me to a new thought as to why the rear end was so squirly at high end speeds. I am thinking that with the shock softer as the speed increased it would push down on the back causing it to make the tires dig deeper and stay in control. The quad was running extremely fast today, faster than ever before because I have never got nervous and backed out of it. I think the tires were riding more on top and letting the quad go faster due to less drag in both front and rear. Now I just have to find the sweet spot so I can fly and have control. Anyways thinking out loud, sorry.
