Someone thought we were getting stale here so I thought I would post a
ride report. It rambles a bit but it's all dirtbike related.
Took the CRF and the trials bike to the MX track. They had a new jump in
the track, took a couple of laps to get it but I did. Nothing like hitting
a new jump, that pushes your limits a little, for the first time.
I did have one crash. Slid through a banked corner and ended up on top of
it when the bike tipped to the inside. Bike fell over but I landed on my
feet going down the bank. It was all I could do to keep running so I didn't
fall flat on my face. No damage to me or the bike at least.
The MX track I usually ride has a large practice area, no trail or
anything but a wide open area they have been taking dirt out of for sale.
Nice little place for a newbe on trials bike to play. A few little hills
(small) sharp edges and loose dirt. I have taken the trials bike out there
the last couple of times I rode and just played on it.
FWIW the new fast kid in our enduro curcuit is Ian Blythe, got 5th in
national enduro this year. Saw his dad at the last race, dad was working
the race and getting on a trials bike. When I asked him about it he said it
was Ian's practice bike. Seems like lots of the fast off road guys are
training with them. Now if I only had a little skill I could pretend I was
like them. haaa.
