No pics.... but for your own entertainment value... here my interpretation

It is the easiest jump on the track, a table top.
I was not trying to hit the jump like Alex and Steve (who would land on the back side aka: sweet spot).
I was practicing the basics.
I went off the lip with to much throttle and failed to control the bike in the air.
As I landed I was basically in a 12 o'clock position.... and leaning to the right.
I held on for a second, but ended up getting launched off the back and down the side of the table top.
The dirt was nice and moist so it cushioned my fall.

Didn't hurt the bike at all... and I was more embarrassed than anything.

Alex did not have the pleasure of witnessing that one.
Steve however, saw the whole thing.

I had a few other less than ideal landings... some standing straight up on the rear.... some landing on the front.

It was a great pportunity for me to work on the basics without any time constraints or pressure (man.... that junk is exhausting...).
Both Alex and Steve provided valuable input (those two can ride!).

I really owe it to Steve and Alex.... thanks again!
