because I've never ridden 52s in the
woods with an off-road setting. I've
only ridden 52s with motocross stuff,
and the stuff is so much more stiff
than my off-road stuff. I can't even
compare the forks. I don't know what
they're doing differently, because this
whole setting and the setup and the
bike is so much different. I'm learning
the bike a little bit better and getting
more comfortable and finding the
directions I need to go, like when
the track goes a certain way that
I've been riding. Because the bike
is so rigid and stiff, the suspension
almost seems a little bit more finicky.
A couple clicks one way or the other
makes a drastic change. I can tell a
big change on my off-road bike, too,
two or three clicks, but it's like, we
can go a little bit more. Two or three
clicks is like what I'm used to going
like five on the moto stuff. I think it's
just because the bike as a whole is
stiffer. The suspension is beefier. I
can jump 50 feet to flat off a 20-foot
drop-off and it doesn't bottom out.
It kind of soaks it up. If I did that on
my off-road bike, I'd be going to the
hospital to get stitches in my chin
because I hit the cross bar so hard. It
makes it interesting for me because
I'm learning something new as I'm
doing this."
