Had the SW competition here in PHX a few weeks ago. The HD's held their own though, given the metrics have less wheelbase and higher lean angles, so thus are a little faster through the cones.

Nice riding nevertheless...

Here is a much better video taken from a helmet cam by one of the Denver guys. I saw these guys passing the camera around, looks like the guy uploaded a 4 part series. The wide angle lens seems to make the patterns look much bigger than they really are though!

Just last year we read with great interest your

time during motor school and now you're already competing against the best riders. I tried to walk that course and got confused (doesn't take much) It's amazing watching some of those guys and gals throwing their bikes around like nothin. The riding of pairs where the bikes are attached by a cable is a great example of two riders thinking alike.
