Watched the videos, pretty awesome! I don't really think those other guys were that much faster than you honestly. I think they were just a bit more aggressive in the turns. Believe me, I realize that is easier said than done. I hate those 180° flat turns (non-bermed). Those absolutely wear me out, especially if it is a tight track. It looked like you had all the jumps timed quite well. Looked like a good run to me. The only friendly suggestion that I would have is try to stay constant on your throttle position when you are skimming the whoops section. You don't have to be wide open, but whatever throttle position you are at when you go into them, stay at that same position. You may have been doing this anyway; maybe I just can't hear it from the video. One of the local pros taught me that and it helped significantly. You were certainly giving that R hell; I like it! That pipe was ringing out. lol
