Passing a rider who would rather take you out than win.

wr250f95 · 06-19-2007, 06:40 PM

Any tips for this? I was ridin with my friends, 5 man race, was in first and about to pass last place, to my shock just as im about to end my wide swing, he gets where im headed, and hits his brakes, i hit his rear tire and he takes off, i would really like to end his cutting off by t boneing him, but i dont want to fix both bikes, any way i could pass him with out this?

one great way to pass these riders is whips. if u are passing the last place rider they generally are gonna be a terrible rider. lol sorry but its true. just switch up whichever side u are on while yur behind them in the air(only if there is a turn after the jump). when u land they will be expecting u on the other side and u will have already passed them in the turn. or if u are confident in the whoops section blaze out some speed there and pass them. or if u go low on a turn and they try to do something and block u just slide right into them but make sure the moment u hit them that u are powering out of the turn and away from them. ya i kno this last tip is approaching dirty but if they had thoughts of trying to screw u then they deserve it. i would suggest the whip personally, it works great and they never see it comming.

yeah, im not a dirty racer, but if youre willing to take me out, than i wont hesitate to end your little fun. to make it even funnier i was riding a ttr125 and he was ridin a kx80. lol i usually ride on their outside approaching a corner, than at the last moment slow down and dive on their inside, works pretty well.

Watch his line to find out where he will be in a certain turn then jump on the inside line and give him a little bump pass so he knows you are there but you don't actually hurt anyhting.

I cant talk much about track riding but in my enduro days there were different ways to pass people. Since lots of races are single track there is not much room to do so. Now first we would actually give warning that we were going to pass you by just clutching it and reving it up a bit. If the rider did not comply with that anything went. Pretty much if you were not able to cut off the trail and taping the guy didnt work you had to run them off the trail.

Why so nice...? Well on an enduro you are really not racing against the other riders but rather against the clock. So there was a little bit of forgiveness here. I should have saved this for a new how to

wr250f95 · 06-28-2007, 09:31 PM
