It is not that you suck but that you do not ride for a living nor as much as you friend does. Another consideration, it is not that other riders (such as your self) suck but that Pros can just be that great.
The guys I ride with are considered fast and skilled but every now and then some of the factory sponsored riders will join in on our riders and they will smoke even the best of us. Not buy a lot but the differance is in their style. We look like we are trying to go fast and the Pros make it look as if they are just out for a beach cruise
