we get to 65ish on the straight at fern tree here in hobart...its the safest run we can get that fast on without driving for an hour...(which is forever here in tassie.)
its a weird thing that high 60's "alive" feeling that you get.....hoping to head out this weekend....think we may have found a 100km/h hill here in tassie! YEAH!
I think the meaning of "its all in your head" refers more to your reaction. If you freak out and get all panicky your probably going to move quickly and eratically out of your tuck which causes dramas. If your calm and in control with slow smooth movements then you should be able to control them and hopefully ride them out. I think the saying has slowly gotton out of context like Chinease whispers to the point where people think if your confident then nothing bad will happen..... which is wrong.
Lovely camera Leigh, all those buttons are turning me on a little. Glad to hear your tuck is down pat Phil. Looking foward to rolling all our hills next weekend guys. Gagging for it.
