<< Oh nice machine, did your dad buy you that man? You should be very thanksful if he did, thats a expensive toy there. how much did u spend on all the skid plates? >>



LOL: I bought all the quads, that's my son sitting on MY Speed, you should have read the captions. He rides a Mojave right now, but I have done some pretty good mods to it for him. Maybe one day he'll get a Dale but not yet.

 

so how did you guys like my local track? i like the little rythm section that they aded in instead of the double they used to have right before the first tabletop. i didnt get to race cause i couldnt get my bike ready in time so i would just like to know what u guys thought of it?

 

Looked like a great track to me, but I don't have much to compare it to. Some of those downhill jumps where huge, my pictures really don't do them justice.

Do you also race at the Landing? How is that track? They are having Cannondale demo days there this weekend.

 

yea i go to landing. they have great tracks. nothing like budds though. completely different style of riding. landing built all there tracks on flat ground instead on natural hill so everything is man made. landing doesnt have sanctioned races though it just like a practice track. i mainly ride the intermediate and quad tracks and occasionally ride around the expert. i may be going sunday if i am feeling better i have had the flu all week. hopw to see ya there. if i do go i will be wearing all green fox gear and be riding a white 250r with stock rims in back with hholeshotmx's on it. blue seat. come say hi if ya see me

 

AlaskaYFM, you have the wrong track. Larroco's Leap is at Red Bud Track 'N Trail in Buchanan Mich. And no the quads can not clear it, it is one of the biggest and most spectactular jump in all of Professional Motocross.

 

whats the big downhill at budds. i forget the guys name who they named it after. he lauched it one time and landed at the bottom of the hill and broke his back

 

500RX, you are right, I just got the names mixed up... my bad... I just saw the big launch on the pic and it just came to mind... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

250rmike- That would be Henry's Hill. Doug Henry launched off of it and sailed to the bottom. I have it on tape and when I was at Budds Creek in person I couldnt believe how far he flew.

 

You would be hurtin for certain if you hit that big down hill hard!!! It owuld be brutal!! I'm not at all surprosed if someone broke there back doing it.

I think the single jump I was most impressed with is the big uphill jump on the way to the downhill one. To fly up this moderately steep hill, then launch off the top into orbit, that's probably what you feel like your doing it- that is, till gravity grabs you!! If you don't make it to the little bump to land on, that one would hurt, too. Were you clearing that one, Mr. P? All the pros I saw were, short of the pros, most were not. Can't say I blame them.

 

NRATH- Yea I was doing that one. It was 4th gear pinned and never letting off. I did it for the first time in practice on the second lap. I also did the double after the finish line in practice but not in the race. Saturday during the races I could never get enough speed to jump the big up hill. It was just too rough going up to it, but for Sundays race it never got that rough and it was easy to do. I have always been known for jumping so I always like to be the first to do the big jumps in my class.
