Does anybody know how the guy with the green shirt is doing? I forgot his name :oops:

It looked like he might have hurt his arm, I hope he is okay. His bike on the other hand needs some repair.

My friend Omar racing my Rockhopper crashed in the heat race and hurt is Elbow, Hip, Shoulder & Hand. I could not find anyone to race the Rockhopper in the main. What a shame cause it was fast.

Thank You Adam, I am glad you enjoy them.

I add music whenever I have video and pics that way there is no silence from vid to pics. In the helmet cam videos I added no music so you can hear the sound of the motors.

On some videos that have no pics I still add some music with the sound of the motor, To me it is more enjoyable to watch that way.

And I hope to meet you to someday. Whenever your in town let me know and will go for a ride.

I got a chuckle from another site where they said I was doing 50-60mph. The god honest truth is with the gearing I have and my weight my bike tops out at 40mph, 42mph on the back part of the track (Downhill). I guess I will have to prove it one day.

I do have a huge advantage because it accelerates fast, but none of that matters unless your good in the corners.

In the Halloween Death Race racing my China Girl, I still beat 2nd place by a huge gap.

ask Charlie if we can go the other direction next time . As a kart guy on the same track I think it is faster counter clock ways . the corner where the guy in the green shirt bift it comes fast and hard . and coming down the long straight away is down hill and you can get better speed . not to mention that I can use up the other side of my tires next time . dont have tred on the right side .

Boy, that was cool watching those videos. I found myself tensing up as you came in to some of those turns and wanting to twist the throttle a little more on the straights... made the old man's heart go a little faster, ya did! That's some bike you've got.

drn2 Same thing goes for me! Only 5 hours from Las Cruces for me, so I'll be back for sure. I wasn't sure if I had stones left for that kind of track, but once out there, they started to swell up again like I was young. The first few laps learning the track I kept getting suprised by the hairpins and scaring the snot out of myself. Came in all a tremble. Once I learned the track though, OOHH BOYYY!

I know I was slow, but I just brought my fastest motor, and batteries I commute on, and a real dumpster bike.

I'm about to order new stuff today, and will be bringing a faster bike next time! This warm up showed me I can still lean it, and can handle more speed. I was very comfortable in the corners even when it got crowded. Front wheel drive is my advantage. Do keep me posted when another race day may happen.

What a great day I had, great track, great riders out there with me. Thanks to Spooky and the track owner for making it all possible. And also thanks for not booting me out of the main, I had to use and even slower battery in the heat race.

I am glad to see how many travelled a long way (^)
when azvinnie and myself went to our first DR 4 years ago, we travelled the farthest
(Fountain Hills is east of Phoenix)...

this shows the movement is growing and that can't be a bad thing ;)

I tried to meet/greet everyone, but was busy gabbing and showing off my bike...
if I missed anyone, I am sorry, but we will be back at next years :)
