It sure was spiritaces. Are there many mx tracks out that way?
-
I bet it is great to have a wide open spot where there are no others to get in your way. But we learned in dune riding...always go over the planned route slowly before ripping it up. Its easy to get into 6th gear and be doing 60 MPH in a short amount of time. Nothing like the adrenalin rush!

Puma- Ya it is very nice. Especially because it's only 30min from my house and if I bring the R to work its only 15min. I really want to go to the dunes out west. I've been to Silver Lake in MI once and it was a lot of fun.
Spiritaces- I gotcha now. There's a ton of riding to do up there in MI as I'm sure you already know.

Nice pics zack looks like it was a lot of fun bud, next year I will be riding some mx tracks too

^^^^^^ Exactly. Best to keep your head on a swivel out there for sure. The dunes are some of the best riding areas in oregon.

Nice pics man thanks for sharing, track looks like a lot of fun!
no there isnt. I was talking about me moving back to MI and then i can ride like I'm used to
Hey spiritaces I noticed you're from PHX??? I was gonna mention that Motogrande can be a fun track of you've ever been there. I know they let quads on the track when they are open. Also try Canyon MX on Thurs nights. Just thought I'd share some info in case you didn't know.

See jon there is some track's to ride the 450r on before you come home bud.

Well had a minor set back today. Got to the track and nobody was there so I did a couple site laps and then got into a race pace. Decided I was going to nut up and hit one of the big stepups in the middle of the track. The whole jump is 120ft but there are two landings, one at 80 and then the other all the way over the hill. I hit it in 4th almost wide open and landed it perfectly on the 80ft landing, hell ya! When I got the bottom of the hill I sat down to set up for the corner and felt the rear shock po-going. I immediately went back to the truck and took the rear plastic off to see what was wrong and saw my rear shock line exploded. Lost a ton of fluid all over my swingarm and airbox. I was planning on having all 3 shocks serviced this winter but I guess I'll be doing that now instead of later. It sucks because there was a race this weekend not too far from me that I wanted to get in but I'll have to wait until next year I guess. Probably be calling Baldwin tomorrow to see how much it will be to get all of them serviced and a new line on the rear. I guess that's racin'.
-
That sucks but in the same breath lucky it happened after you had already landed. It might have been bad if it blew right when you landed.
-
That's true Jeremy. Calling Baldwin and Maul Tech this morning to see who can get my shocks done the quickest.
-
I would check with sfracing and see what his turn around time would be. And then there is a fella that works for pep and Seth knows him too, his screen name is the shock guy on .net. He is out of Pennsylvania and does good work from what I've heard.
-
Thats right
-
Evan aka eschonda is really good too and he is a sponsor so check him out. Send him a pm or better yet call him, his number is on his banner
Banner would be Schmidty racing suspensions correct?
-
Finally got some of the video off of my phone from my last ride there a couple months ago.
