I got stuck in my back yard and i had to get my friend to pull me out with a riding lawn mower. lol anyway. Anyone know a good place around here in Westminster that a person with 2x4 could do.

I believe you are reffering to the pits right? Anyway, I decided to go there yesterday afternoon for a little while after work with a buddy. I just installed a "twist throttle" set up with some new Renthal handle bars for my 660R. The handle bars were cool but as for the twist throttle, I did not like it at all! I was having such a hard time on the trails. I noticed when you're going over large bumps and slow sharp technical turns you can easily shift your wrist and hit the throttle when you don't want to. This actually made me lose control in 2 separate instances and I almost had a close call with a tree! I'll be switching back to the stock thumb throttle system mainly for safety reasons. I mainly tried the twist throttle b/c of my aching thumb and wrist due to the thumb throttle. I'll just have to deal with it...

As for the condition of the pits, it wasn't too bad there was a lot more standing water but still managed to have a pretty good time. I just wanted to test out the twist throttle and get some riding time before all the wet nasty weather hits.

I'll have a better time after I do the switch over....
