George, we'll work with you on Rattlesnake first. It can be intimidating.....I think I've seen more than my fair share of crashes there, but it just takes experience and you'll fly through it without even thinking about it. Hopefully your new spring in the fork will help your bike to feel better for you!
I would love to be able ot do rattlesnake like you two did it. I did the first part ok but didnt keep scanning ahead and was headed towards a bad line. Getting full travel should help too. Maybe my third time through will be better . . .
