Love the shots topping the hill. Thousands of pics at Barber and I've never seen a single pic from that angle. Tell Aileen, she rocks!

 

[Tiller]

Yea those are some cool shots.. Too bad she didnt get the one of your front wheel about 2 feet off the ground there

And I didn't know Charlie went THUG LIFE on us in that pic

Great pics there! Thanks!

Taking the inside line going up to the museum turn in is a perfect passing place! It puts you on the apex while most riders are lined up on your left taking the "normal" line. Nice video. Now we'll have to get Keith a new helmet since his won't fit anymore!

It took me a long time to be able to make passes there, but once you get the confidence to pass people on that inside line... There is no turning back.. Because usually you will be able to pass 3-5 bikes at the same time

Looks like a good spot, but that one is so much tighter than it looks on video. Mainly because there's no room to set up for it I guess. Coming out of that was where I made that pass I told you about. The guy I was going around made a turn out of the next straight when he cut inside waaaay early, and I had to go by him on the curbing because there was no time to brake or change sides. Oh well, it worked out. A little closer than I would've liked though.

Yes you do have to be careful there tho....Especially with novice riders who aren't smooth yet... Some don't know the correct line to take at all so they will just wing it and you gotta be looking out for those guys
