Qualification Friday | 2019 MultiGP Global Championships VLOG Part 2/3 

It was entirely a confidence thing. I knew it was better, and I tried to think about how I was doing it in practice earlier, but so many times I would bail on the line while flying because I had lost confidence. My best 3 laps did come with 3 straight laps using that line though. But I never did it that way consistently again, I just knew I should be.

John E Fly yeah, exactly the same for me. Best qualifier was with the straight dive on track 1, but then I did my best lap with the 180 on track 1 in the top 16 brackets on Saturday. I always under-perform in qualifiers though, for some reason. That’s why I got to 41 from all the way down at 87 or whatever my GQ rank was.

not at all, setups are really all over the place. Lots of variety.

I would say this is probably the best video I've done yet on learning to go faster: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WHka7b_rqpI.html I can do some more in the future, but it is pretty tough right now with the weather up here. I haven't flown a 5" since champs honestly. We'll see how it goes. Regarding going as fast as you can at a race, I think that's normal. Consistency is more important than all out speed at a race. Being able to fly at a consistent fast pace knowing you could possibly push a bit harder if you really need to in a heads up race is key. I think it makes sense to work on consistent laps over speed in practice, and keep pushing the speed while not allowing yourself to crash (find a way to punish crashing to prevent you from doing it).

JohnE's channel has tons of good videos with racing tips - I really liked this one as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OHV8Afy6wfo.html
