I have never ridden an MX track and will bring the cam corder so stay tuned for some funny ass vids Hopefully I don't hurt myself before dunes season. I will probably roll over everything slow for the first couple laps, then maybe get good at hitting the table tops before I even attempt any doubles or triples.
MDFB, Brian from thumpertalk, Jason and myself are going. I will be the only of my group on a 500, and possibly the only one there on a 500. Hopefully I will get some good tips from the more experienced MX riders there.

Sneak Preview...

hey, don't jynx me now! (knocking on wood)

Make sure to wear brand new gear, and say to everyone.. " Watch this!"

Bob, don't be a dick! and I intentionally have not put anything new on myself or the bike... I'm hungarian and thus very superstisious.

I put the "Whamma- Jamma" on you.....

Double Collar bone.....

Even though your like 25 years younger than don't even try or let ANYone pressure you into trying a double. Trips? those are out of the question. Trust the old wise one.

And like that video, don't even sit when you hit the face of the jump.

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I'm seriously thinking about being a total puss this time and only hitting the tables, then rolling everything else. I'm mostly excited to be on a conditioned track with berms, soft tacky dirt and best of all... NO ROCKS!

isnt the 14th the banned ride?

yyeaaaahhhh boyyyeeesss!!!!! That was so much FUCKING FUN! I had so much damn fun, I forgot to bust out the camera.
there were 2 tracks for us the ride, the little qwad/warm up track (where I spent most of the day) and the uber sicky gnar gnars track-0-DOOM that was waaayy too much track for me, but the hill in the middle was awesome on the 500.
the thing that got me is that I simply don't do jumps... just not my thing. 10 seconds into the first ride I accidentally launched the frist jump and the shit eating grin didn't go away all damn day.
I was having some issues getting distance and really clearing stuff, but had a freaken blast anyway!
I ate in once, so I was actually laughing when it happened. They had just watered that track and on my first lap I hit a patch of clay and the next thing you know I'm on my ass next to my bike sliding in this super slick stuff for a good 20 - 30 feet, I was laughing my ass off while wondering when I was going to stop!
the big track was a full on pro track with some full on pro guys who HAUL ASS! Justin was being a show off and hitting the big finishline tabletop that was freaken huge, but I mostly had fun on the huge hill climb right in the middle of the track, it was all tacky and was the only time I got to open up my bike and also the only point of that track where not only did no one pass me, but I was gaining on the guys in front Jason was tearing it up and dumping it a lot, but I was really impressed with how quickly he took to it. He was clearing everything after the first hour or so. I took Justin 450 for a few laps and found that I (shitty not skilled rider) was much fast on that cheating machine. Of coarse my asshole sucked in some seat foam when I went over a small jump and only slightly let off the gas resulting in some mid air engine breaking
Since Brian seems to really like the track and the rest of us had a blast, I imagine we will be going there a lot. Kinda sucks because its almost as far away as dumont, but was definitly worth the trip!
