    OUT. still no working bike

    I'm still hoping that it gets back together before the 5/15 practice day

    edit: 5/15 is my commencement...2 hour speeches? coordinating a bunch of complaining family? a bazillion pictures? a school request for an alumni donation?

    yeah f that. let's go riding!

    Re: STIMILON 2011 !!! May 28/29 MX338

    Why do I see:

    A) over shooting many turns with the rear locked as I refuse to touche the front brake in fear for my life
    B) soiling my shorts repeatedly after overshooting a drop off I forgot was coming up
    C) lots of 'face time' in that nice sand after tucking my front, repeatedly
    D) a right leg 3 times the size of my left after many, many stalls and follow up kick starts

    I do believe I'm going to die.

    Actually the track seems to be very similar to Hemonds MX, everything flows nicely, no 'BIG' jumps/doubles/etc, no rhythm sections, but a CRAP TON more sand. I can't imagine what the track will look like after PRACTICE let alone a couple races, I'm going to need outriggers to keep from falling into trenches.

    Don't worry about overshooting corners. Let off the throttle and you'll stop pretty quickly. And don't worry, that sand is nice and soft. Easy landings, hard to pick the bike after.

    that's a great vid, really shows the track well, thanks for posting.

    looks like a fun day! empty track

    only noticed one change from last year, the jump after the upper bleachers, before the finish line jump.

    it's a really fun event, perfect track to host it at with no sharp doubles, all about momentum in the sand.

    you guys will have a blast.

    A, no
    B, no
    C, yes
    D, Yes

    And the first time you pick up your bike, you'll be pouring sweat and it will dawn on you just how whipped you're gonna be when this is all over. But it will hurt so good.

    Re: STIMILON 2011 !!! May 28/29 MX338

    Latest updates from Davo:

    Register early, get free grips. (1)
    Show up with beer, get more beef free. Show up without beer, get one out of pity. (2)
    FC is buying old suspension springs?! (3)
    Other Stuff. (4)

    1: You must be one of the first 200 to register to receive free Pro Taper Grips
    2: Show up Friday night, get a free Narragansett beer if over 21. Show up with at least a six pack of Narragansett in your cooler, they'll toss a free siz pack your way to fortify your stock.
    3: FC is buying old fork spring sets for $30, shock springs for $25, and will be on site performing full services. All participants get free setup and tech support throughout the event.
    4: Pre-registrations get a fistful of various coupons for discounts on stuff, all get a smaller coupon collection.


    This is turning into a VIP grab bag style thing at a ritzy posh event for movie stars or something. I fully expect to be gifted shampoos, hand cream and a six months supply of ProActive along side my spa treatment coupons now.

    I'm pre-registered for both the day and the following open practice so I'll be there the whole weekend. I'll need a hot shower to test out the products in my VIP gift bag though so I'm going to get a hotel room for Friday and Saturday night.

    yeah, think my friend Mike had to pay $20 at the gate when he came to spectate.

    reminds me, if you're riding, keep cash on you when you arrive at the gate. i always forget there is a fee for us too (yeah, i know, kinda beat) there is a BoA ATM up the street across from the gas station if you forget.

    The kid who posted that vid said it was a private practice through a dealership.

    Ok, Getting excited even though I know I will probably spend more time eating sand than riding the bike, lol.

    I will be camping Friday and Saturday night. The wife will be coming to the track when she gets out of work on Saturday.
