Well it was a good time,great weather and the bike ran good,like you guys said i dident see any of you and speed who's bike were you on this time i know it aint that honda, I was at the hill everyday... Giving me a beatdown(you take that to serious,How old are you)...I seen every one and everyone seen me,maybe your the one hiding .. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]


took a good spill on the left side of the hill on friday..(the first day), the bike made it out fine and kept rolling, should be on video soon..lol
the whoops got me and i made it thru fine,chest protector worked great ..


i raced AZraptor and beat him 2 out of 3 and yes he did come up to me and say "my bike was faster than his and if the hill was longer i would have kept pulling.. Remember when you said that...His bike did run good and the whoops were killer but i like the more agressive whoops and i get thrue them real fast....

again sparks was there and had quick and fast bikes in each class,Kenz was there and had the only competing bike there and the RIS desings YFZ was quick..Glad to see someone give them a run ...

All the 2 craycraft were there and running the hill,and howard did you pilot your bike on those races?

I remember taking 2 out of 3 but whatever, I'm not going to argue about it. Sam, It's a race to the top of the hill, thats what matters; it's not about the fastest bike. Rider weight, bike weight, rider ability, suspension setup, gearing, etc... all come into play. You know that! I remember what I said to you on Sunday about your bike pulling hard towards the top, but I know I got to the top first. You must not get through the whoops fast enough because you were doing your best to reel me in after getting through them. BTW, my bike came home with a 1st place trophy this weekend, what did you bring home other than some bruises after that nasty spill you took. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Had a great time bikes ran great. Met some great people. Taftraptor is a class act!!! Raced AZRaptor and we traded some wins but he did win the majority. I was slow the first day, faster the second day, and back to slow the third day. Could not get the 39's figured out. I would launch in second and it would die, just ask raptorowner, I was able to win one or two but I was not consistent.

I was very impressed with my dad's sparks bike. Everyone said he would not recieve the same engine that won. He was beaten by only sparks bikes in the modified class. I will finish the video tonight. It is not lightened at all, just a +4 and some shock covers, no aluminum axle, fuel, or anything.

Here is a few vids that I have finished.

raptor03 vs. my dad's sparks 690

OPEN CLASS Kenz vs. Sparks

more to come

Raptor660fam, I had a great time running you this weekend. I gotta say that your dad's bike was one of the most impressive bikes that I watched this whole weekend, six pack rack and all. Good video's, I like the Star War's effects at the end of the Kenz video.
