    Epic crash today

    The squirrl came out to ride at my place today. It started out with some wrenching. New shock spring for Daniel and an oil change for me. Then we hit the track. It turns out squirrels don't like drop offs. Lol. I then proceeded to put a further damper on the mood when I kartwheeled my bike in 4th gear and came up speaking in tongues. Apparently the bike landed on me pretty good. Knocked the wind out of me something fierce.

    A few minutes break and I was good as new, but a bit slower in the big whoop section. The squirrel finally learned his way around and turned some decent laps for his first time out there.

    A jump in the cool, clear river felt great, and soothed the days wounds. Dinner in Hamp was delish, too. Great day.

    You snapped a frame of a suzuki. You dont need to use all the power. They break at the welds if a mouse farts.

    To be fair James, the mouse does have to be in the same county.

    Sounds like my visit to the turn1 tire wall. Bike came through ok because it rode me into it.

    Sarge, I can't claim my wreck to be as spectacular as your recent event... That was all time. THough we had a guy do that to his suzuki just in a 40 mph highside in T4. I think they hide an ied AND a detonator inside those bike somewhere...

    We had a good Day The track was the toughest dose of MX I have ever had. Its more like "CrashaCross" That huge wall berm Just ate me alive I fell on it 4 times the same exact crash landing on my left shoulder. I still feel good I am out the door now to try the oxford track. I got freaked out by Pauls crash (it was right in front of me. It was EPIC for sure.

    I long for the coutry

    Re: Epic crash today

    There were a good amount of riders, they split it into 4 groups advanced, 2 separate intermediate and a beginner. First session out was really cool, got to ride the freshly groomed track just wide open everywhere (before the bumps formed) aha. Dowd did some riding as well, man it still feels neat to even be passed by him.

    Sheppo, no I didn't meet any mom guys unfortunately. What were they riding do you know? Hung out with my boys from Higgins powersports and Petes cycle/sled.
