The most fun I had, and I can still clearly remember this, was the
first time a friend took me to Metcalf in San Jose. I was living on
my own and I didn't own a dirt bike and I'd never ridden off road
before. I had several years of street riding, but no dirt bike
experience. He had a Yamaha 125 2 stroke (late 70's MX bike) and I
clearly remember going on the trails by myself and going up and down
the hills. I couldn't believe some of the things I saw guys doing
that I now take for granted. It was incredible.

I haven't been in too many of those off road because we tend to spread
out while trail riding. I do remember one time where my buddy and I
were on a fire road and somehow we got to the point where we both knew
we were pushing it and trying to get in front of each other but with
the two-way traffic it's kind of dangerous. On the MX track, I've
tried to keep up with some guys but it's pretty pointless for me...

I get an adrenaline rush and a feeling of victory when I feel I've
navigated it to the level that I want. It's a psuedo control feeling
kind of thing that's hard to describe, and I realize I don't really
have control, jsut the feeling of it.

Hope this helps...
