I love watching videos of the young guys with great talent, but sometimes they make me get a little over enthusiastic and then I run out of talent.

Kanedog 2015-2019, thanks for the good times S&M!
Have any clutching tips for Caleb? :)

Funny you say that. Just last night watching Caleb killin' it, I thought to myself, "man the clutching could be so much better." In my head I put together the clutch/gear package that I would do for that sled. But then I thought it would be too much hassle. There's a lot of custom work that goes into a Kanedog clutch setup. It's about 70% custom, expensive, hard to get parts and machining. It's a long, drawn out process to get things just perfect. With "outside the box" clutch thinking, this sled will go at least 25% better.
His abilities are already untouchable and with a machine that goes 25% better, Caleb would be even more years ahead of the competition. A turbo wouldn't work for Caleb imo. He needs reliability, smooth power delivery and traction. Turbos don't provide any of those. Traction as opposed to track spin is required for sketchy drops and the tight situations.
In my opinion, the stock clutching/gearing is holding Caleb back more than anything. He is so good that he has far surpassed the ability of the stock clutching/sled. He is a natural on that sled.
Clutching is like a dog race. No matter how many steroids or how fast the dog is, when a dog races a Cheetah, it's just a slow dog. No dog will ever catch a Cheetah.
Kanedog clutching is the Cheetah and I love watching Caleb ride.

I thought you might have some input on clutching.
