Otherwise it is precision riding. Usually you have 6 to 8 riders perform a routine (drill). Lots of tight peg grinding turns, weaving in and out of each other etc. They judge by diffulty of maneuvers and how well your team is synchronized.

I belong to a Shrine Shadow 750 team. If some one is a second or two off - WHACK! This year we started with a team of 6 and early on in practice we were down to 4. Team had a bad WHACK. Kind a put an end to this years competition, but we can at least pariticipate in obstacle course competition (or some people call em rodeo's.).

Ya got be a little brain dead to get involved in this shit, but you do learn what your bike is capable of doing- and a 750 can do a lot.

sounds like fun ,,,,,it also sounds like it would for sure sharpen your riding skills.
my ss750 used to be able to do alot but ever since putting the 9" struts on
its pretty limited esp.on turns now.

sounds like alot of time and practice

Yes, takes a lot of practice not only with the team but even on your own. Also eats ups tires twice as fast. I have to replace both front and back every 5000 miles - mostly because of sharp turns and circles etc.

There are guys on the team that would think nothing of riding down the highway at 110 mph without a helmet, but when we practice drill, they all wear their helmets.

And you do need to be BRANE dead as well..... hmmmm....something is wrong......Ah I spelled need wrong..... knead.... there that is better now...
