Nice, I rode the backyard yesterday too. Do you have any fast trails in the woods? 3rd or fourth gear stuff?

[theothersean]

the woods are mostly 2nd gear , couple 3rd gear short spots , the little field is also mostly 2nd and 3rd , I plan to lay out the bigger filed to be more open , 3rd gear and possibly 4th in spots.

Would be fun to have some faster corners that you can actually lay the bike over into a bit. Maybe even build up a little berm/positive camber.

[theothersean]

the corners just need to get bermed up by riding them , these trails are only a season or so old, catch 22 though , don't want to wear them in too much .

Is playing in the backyard and playing in the mud the same?

I managed to get the big field laid out differently . and added a figure 8 practice track , just need to get the berms built up to get the speeds up .

lack of berms if your punishment for not riding enough...get out there daily soldier!

[theothersean]

being that I just mowed it the day before I rode it , I think the berms are as they should be for a day of riding . But I'll be sure to get right back out there .
