    Props to jballs

    I have to give props to jballs at this track day. First some background. jballs is an Advanced rider, with times consistently in the 1:18-1:22 range for the past 2 years. This track day was his first of the year, after wrecking the end of last year, and recently on his street bike.

    jballs bumped himself down to Intermediate to work on his skills and improve his times. He did this after noticing his times weren't on par, he checked his own ego and did what was best for everyone and rode in another group (including Novice) to get the fundamentals back in check.

    I know there are other people who make the choice to ride in a group that they shouldn't just because they FEEL they should be in that group, but this takes a lot of character to do what should be done.

    Major props to him for doing what's right at a track day.

    Yes I said the same thing. I am so glad he Chizecked himself so he didn't wrizeck himself. <----Trying to be funny.


    I was very proud that he did that. I know JBalls and he very competitive. So like Railing said Mad Prop to JBalls.

    Great pointing that out..... If the Balls can do this, than anyone of us should be able to without a thought. Much props Jeremy!

    Yes he told me that was the most fun he has had on the bike in awhile. He tried novice but got bored real quick. Intermediate was perfect for him. He'll be back.
