Mod 1 fail

[Derivative]

Did my Mod1 this morning, got a cancellation 3 days prior.
Everything was going well + perfect, did all the low speed stuff fine. Then came the swerve. I focused on getting the required speed, and 'panicked' and locked the rear wheel pretty badly braking. I normally hardly even use the rear brake, my brain just kind of seized. Need to do some practice I think.

Pretty epic skid though, the back of the bike was all over the place. Did manage to release slowly and not throw myself. After that I continued on fine and buggered up the emergency stop from hardly braking

56kph swerve, 55kph controlled stop.

Kind of annoyed that my brain locked up and decided to slam my foot down, but otherwise it was good practice. Booked another one next week and I'm gonna practice some emergency stops down the local industrial estate.

Well as said many times. You know how to fail it now and what not to do. So next time get it right.

At least you managed to get the speed right.

Good luck for next time

It`s just a minor setback m8,now you know the course layout you will have no problem next time,The practice is a good idea,my slalom was awful,so i done the same,old car park and spent a few hours,easy.Good luck for the next one

Did exact same thing, rather annoying that we both did the emergency stop correctly but skidded on the hazard avoidance

If you dont pull the clutch in you shouldn't be able to easily lock up the back wheel, like you did, so just make sure you don't wack the clutch in until just before you come to a complete stop.

I just did a mock MOD1 and would have been "unsuccessful" had it been for real!

I knocked over a cone (for the first time ever) on the slalom, and only reached 49kph before the swerve. Glad I had a practice run...like someone else said, now you know the layout & what not to do, you'll probably be fine next time.

Good luck

Looks like I'm putting off the practicals for a while.
