Keep grinding and you’ll get the hilltop tackled.
The KTM and Bandito are nice bikes. The Bandito takes a bit longer to get used to than the KTM imo. I like the older bikes more than these newer ones, but most of the tracks need them in order to break into the top 100 nowadays.

After Cannon End, I moved left one spot and finally pushed through Spinner’s Alley. It’s another track I’ve attempted to improve my time on for a really long time. It’s a fun track to ride, but I just couldn’t move up any higher than the 101 spot I was sitting at until tonight. 😀
Similar to the last two tracks I posted about, this is another track I can usually get off to a great start on. All of my runs have blown up coming down the 4th checkpoint and off that barrel blast ramp to the 5th checkpoint. I just couldn’t get my bike over that roof peak to land smoothly on the way up the half pipe to the small spinning wheel. Every now and then, I’d get a decent stumbling pass over that roof peak and would completely miss the raised small ramp in the center or bite it coming off the that raised ramp up to the finish line. It was another tough sequence for me to hit there at the end.
I finally got a great jump off that barrel blast ramp that took me all the way over the peak of the roof using a wheelie going into the blast. Fortunately, I didn’t bite it at the other traps that ended so many of my other runs.
I didn’t have my cleanest start to the track, so I wonder where I would have finished with a cleaner front section... I’m still very happy with where I finished as I went all the way up to 46. That one feels very good after all the attempts I’ve had over the years racing that track!
Onto the next one.
