I can totally relate to everyones comments thus far..... but still find myself wanting to do more A - lines than B lines. I have just started DH this year and is my first year of racing bikes also. Not coming from a BMX background I find is hard however at 36 I have just started the A -lines at Ourimbah and although they are not what I would call A+ lines they are fairly nerve racking for a newb to build up to. After putting down my best time and hitting all the A-lines last race - I feel I can only get faster.... just need to turn off that self preservation chemical release in my head somehow.
I have learned from riding with other better riders that once you learn to flow ,get smooth pick better lines and start to float over and around the rougher terain the speed just comes without you even thinking about it.
learning to relax and let the bike go over the bumps ,brake in the smooth bits and get some advice on suspesion set up ,rider /body posistion and you are almost there.
One good thing about being older its never worries me to ask someone better (older or younger) than me what i am doing wrong or how to ride a section or how to set up for a place i have never riden.
cheers and beers ez

If there is a choice of line on a track the hard 'route' would would be the A line, the easier one, eg. safer one, would be the B line and if there is a really easy one it would be the C line.Duhhh... wut is A-Line, B-Line, C-Line, D-Line?
Is it a path of bikes to follow or some sort of cable transmision line for telecoms?
My head really hurts from the last fall so I can't think straight like a line at the moment.
i think SuperSix is just messing with us spydyIf there is a choice of line on a track the hard 'route' would would be the A line, the easier one, eg. safer one, would be the B line and if there is a really easy one it would be the C line.
