    Dakar Leg 5 Sledridge and Mud Cakes for real???

    Are you kidding me?? Those 2 tracks can't be completed unless you have a pogo stick under your bike! 3 tickets and 10 minutes each trying everything to finish, even the ghost riders weren't finishing! I know it is supposed to be hard and a challenge, but that is a little more than that!

    Definitely need to keep your speed up by keeping that back tire on the ground. Then leaning at the right time to use the bike’s suspension to get a little extra lift will get you that pogo stick you’re looking for. Don’t give up!

    Actually pretty easy track once you mastered them. Low ceiling on "The Watchers" is more annoying.

    This is what bugs me.

    That’s nothing to do with skill, it’s more to do with the rider is too high on the KTM 450.

    Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low that is the tempo.

    I made a quick video of my first tries for both those tracks:

    Not world records by any means but they’re not too tough once you get the rythym down.

    this set of tracks is a little harder overall; all of them tend to have one or more trick than on them that you either do successfully, or its a wasted run (if you are trying for top 1%). That chews up your tickets pretty quick. You do get it eventually though.... my tough one was Great Wall; easily spent a whole days tickets on that one... its my kryptonite for some reason.

    There are worse ones; Just be glad you are not going to be dealing with Metal Mayhem, for instance. You could go through 7 tickets in a minute on that track if you cant get the opening jump...
