First time to this track and also the first ride since by quad was put back toghter.

I rode with Jeramy Schell and Cory (WP from the Suzuki Forum)

Some Pictures are posted at www.jsmith.net/speed.htm

Cory talked me into trying my first real double. Table tops no problem, doubles problem. I break at almost 40 I heal slower than some of you younger ones. The double had a face about 5 feet on it and the landing was a platform about 25' with a 4' fall away, about 10' past that is a 3' face step-down. Cory said "Just half trottle in third, and you'll be fine, just don't let off the gas. When you land just coast the stepdown."

Well I watched him do it twice and said what the hell. Came around the burm shifted to third and pinned it. Well I have never been 10' in the air before and I had time to think up there "What the *ell am I doing." I landed on the platform and costed over the step down for a SAFE landing.

MY FIRST REAL DOUBLE. whoa who.

I have some video's of Cory doing that monster step-up so as soon as I figure out how to post them I will.

Can't wait to do it again. The quad ran great and has more power than I need.

I can't wait till spring when I can bring the X back out. Consider yourself lucky to be able to ride MX year round. It'd be a dream come true for me.

 

Sweet Smitty, glad to hear you are back in the saddle!

 

congrats smitty, dont think I could get myself to do that or not, would have to watch a few hundred times lol.
I did go riding on saturday and for the first time cleared a small step up jump at the track, it was soo fun I just kept going back around a doing it again and again, the faster you hit it the better and the dale pulls so hard in third it was awesome.
