i think i've seen to many people lay it down there and am waiting for it to happen to me. Might need to leave the skirt at home next time i go out, man up and either throw it away or get it right.
I know what your saying Poyda, Turn 2 is the farker I just can't get either...........
Someone help us out here....... is it the off camber, is it the crack, is it the double apex, or is it something else....................

Tight entry, Drift then tight exit (make it one big corner) & stay on the inside during the exit.
+ go in fast ... the drift will wash off speed
If you go in too slow you will be all over the place trying to get drive in the second part of the corner.

I think you guys are just worrying about the crack too much.... So just smoke crack and fly through it

Yeh all makes sense on paper....
I had an off there last year and I still don't know why......... Whould be interesting to know what is the most popular cause for the offs in this corner....?
I think I was just leaning to far, going to quick or I got on the gas to early, but it just went from under me ........ and I am still unsure why....
I'ts hard to fix it, if you don't know what's broke........

For some reason, I'm reminded of dogs when they scrape their bums along the ground to get a stubborn poo out
