@@mattburkeen820 that's great! The first time it happened to me, it was by my dad. I raced 250B and he raced 30+A. We had a local class that let us race together. I led him for the whole moto and thought I was something special....right up until the last corner when he ran up the inside and yelled...which made me blow right thru the top of the berm.🤣🤣 Lesson learned.
