Anyone that has a 19" rear wheel and wants to play with a sand tire, same offer is there. Tire is free for the taking. I think it had maybe 3-4 laps of Southwick on it since new. Been stored in my basement for a while. It is a Kenda Sand Mad which a quick Google search came up with

19 is usually mx. 18 is woods.Quote:

Nice runs! I felt your pain in moto one with that lowside after the extreme section, it is so easy to tuck the front in the sand! Picking the bike uphill out of that hole must have sucked.Quote:

Also, that guy going down RIGHT in front of you in the extreme on the first lap was pretty shitty too, but what are you gonna do. Nice job out there.
There are MUCH MUCH better editing program out there, but I like the OLD windows movie maker quite a bit.
You can click and drag your vid into it, then you can go past all that dead air at the beginning, hit pause, right click and click "split" then just hit delete on that whole first part, same as the end. You can drop like 15 minutes of dead air off your vids pretty easy. Also easy to do a title screen, and fade in/outs.

All the newer/nicer ones I try are too complicated and do too much. Its like photoshop vs just a quick edit to crop a pic.
Like Sam mentioned the 19" wheel seems to be the standard for MX bikes and the 18" is standard for the Enduro/Trail bikesQuote:

That being said I rode in the woods for a long time with a 19" wheel/tire combo with no real issues other than tire selection. Old bike now has an 18" wheel and new bike came with 18" wheel which allows me to run more enduro specific tires that I want to run.
Here's a vid of my first lap moto 1, it is a shit shot, I miss the start cause I cant see the flagger, turn 1 guy on my left gets run over while a guy on my right also goes down, 4:05 I blast a tree, 5:45 I lowside....
I started out more in the mix then I usually do then it was all downhill from there.

He is a shorter edit of mostly just the crashes from both motos (2:15 total) for your viewing enjoyment.

Out of curiosity, why are there people on the race course on mountain bikes? Slightly dangerous for them and the racers.
Bro, there are people walking, I've seen dogs on the track, people on mountain bikes, etc.Quote:

Ok, starting to get hyped for Southwick. Such an abusive relationship....
