    Re: STIMILON!

    yeah, there's nothing to worry about except sticking to your lines and being aware of other bikes. i think a New England woods ride would be more difficult than what NHMX looks like in that vid, plenty of opportunity to just roll. and it def looks easier to ride than the Sands of Southwick where you have to keep momentum or you go no where.

    once you're off the gate and through the first corner, the novice classes spread out pretty good. NHMX looks nice and wide too, room for error

    the whole weekend is about fun. still 'racing' but total hack racing. except for some of the expert classes, rippers gonna rip. fun to watch how it's really done.

    not sure if you're linked up with Dave Olcott (Davo Stimilon) and Holeshot Radio but they put on a handful of ride days at Southwick (and Rocky Hill). here's how they break it down, $42 per session

    This is a Limited Entry Event
    As all Holeshot Radio Ride Days are. This is to insure that if you get in, you will have a quality experience. We have all been to other ride days where they let anybody and EVERYBODY in where the ride time and quality suffers. Not ours. We will be limiting each group to 40 riders.

    Here is how we are doing it for [X]:
    There will be two sessions - morning and afternoon. Each session will have three groups of 40 riders. Each group will ride once per hour for four hours. We will launch each session on the 20 minute mark. So for example the morning session will launch at 9am, 920, 940, and then start over again at 10, etc

    The Sessions will go like this:

    Morning
    Check in 8-9a (sign waiver, get wristbands)
    Riding 9-1p (timed sessions per group)
    Group 1: Kids/Ladies (65a/b, 85, Ladies any size bike) - 40 spots total available
    Group 2: Open Nov (125cc and up, Novice) - 40 spots available
    Group 3: Vet B/C (over 30, Novice/Amateur recommended*) - 40 spots available

    Afternoon
    Check in 12-1p (sign waiver, get wristbands)
    Riding 1:30 - 530p
    Group 4: Open A/B - (125cc and up, Amateur/Expert) - 40 spots available
    Group 5: Open Nov (125cc and up, Novice) - 40 spots available
    Group 6: Vet A/B (over 30 Amateur/Expert recommended*) - 40 spots available

    I went to a ride day with Tim this year hosted by Dave. It was awesome and the morning session was plenty of riding for the day! I don't know how Tim did the afternoon sesh as well!

    kid has been riding a TON. ride days, JDays, MX races (took 2nd at the January Wareham race), etc, etc. need to join him more this season, always have a blast.

    he was heading towards track rat status but JDays are making him want to practice more gnar. joining us for full HVD loops as training sessions this season. should really up his confidence and skills when it gets technical (doesnt like the upper loops at all)

    I'm doing it on my 300XC-W, you can do it on a V65 Sabre with TKCs if you wanted.

    Hmm. I wonder what tire size the VFR takes.. 'coz 4 cylinders has to be better than two, innit?

    i was just being a wise ass no need to worry.. .

    a bike set up for woods (like i have) is going to be soft(er) for sure, but i can't jump for shit so it won't really matter all that much. doesn't mean you can't leave the ground, there are jumps in the woods too, but the bike is going to sack out easier than suspension that's tuned for bigger/harder landings.

    softer settings will probably be aOK since this track looks to be harder packed (although i did see some sand) than somewhere like Southwick where you would want to stiffen things up. without any long, deep whoop sections, and mostly rollable tabletop jumps, you will most likely be just fine with what you're already set at for mixed use.

    MX and enduro bikes definitely have different types of suspension but if you're not a big jumper or whoop railer, whatever bike you're comfortable on will work for a ride day like this. it's all about fun. if you feel like experimenting or fine tuning, your manual or an online search can help with some basic clicker changes to try through the day. not to mention all the other dirt riders around to ask for advise if the bike is behaving poorly.

    I don't claim to be any kind of suspension expert, at all! But just in rough terms, make sure your rear sag is correct, and if your suspension is good for woods already, common adjustments from that point for faster, rougher mx might be to click in some more compression damping to both ends and maybe drop the forks in the triple clamps a hair if it's feeling headshaky on fast sections and/or pushing the front end in the corners, or vice versa (raise the forks a hair so more tube is exposed above the top triple clamp) if it's not feeling headshaky but you are feeling like the front end wants to climb out of the berms.

    Unless you are bottoming the shit out of it, it's going to be more rider skill than bike settings. I know a wicked fast woods rider (does very well in JDays) who doesn't even bother to set his sag, which is pretty much step one in any manual I've read, or class I've taken.
