    MX is FUN!

    Let me be the first to say that today was a blast. Thanks to everyone who came out. Great company and great riding!

    This was my first time on a track...

    It's really nice to ride without ROCKS! I found it easier to ride the track than I do the woods. Arm pump was the only thing holding me back, and I think with a few more days of experience I could overcome that.

    I think my brain is just track oriented because I love how quickly I can learn stuff by repeating the same challenges over and over.

    I must say, the KDX impressed me. I really didn't find the suspension lacking. I guess I'm lucky I'm a lightweight. It will do just fine for recreational MX riding...

    Mmm... That big double/double was my favorite!

    Paul, it was killing me following you around and seeing you hit those double doubles...good stuff

    I'm whooped and amazed that I could only hang on for 2 laps That track kicks your ass for sure, I'll be feeling this one tomorrow for sure

    Good company out there today and it was cool hanging/riding with everyone.
    Lets do it again

    oh man... today was a FUCKIN BLAST!!!

    First & foremost I gotta thank Clayton right off the bat for lettin me borrow his new baby. She done me good bro and I treated her well.

    Paul, you were definitely movin on that little bugger, good job.

    Wish I coulda kept up w/ you guys a little more.. I was havin a blast doin my own thing, but mixin it up woulda been fun.

    And I don't consider Alex trying to take off my front wheel mixin it up

    Little? I wish it were little. The KDX is light by old standards, but it's a bit heavy compared to the latest... And it's top heavy to boot, which doesn't help in the corners...

    I didn't want to leave!

    Had a great day riding with all you guys. Our posse was like 12 deep. My buddy Alan got 700 or so photos and will be uploading tomorrow.

    I was planning on riding tomorrow but I just walked in door (2:24am) after coming home, tossing bike out of truck, showering, and going out to dinner / movie with the lady. Think tomorrow will be clean bike and relax day.

    Had a blast thou and I'm definintely going to do some MX races next season. I don't think I'll get last at least...

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?
