May be a combo of the track being a bit narrow and the camera making it look even narrower.

Dude was hauling for sure. Makes you wonder how many no name guys are out there at local tracks that were never discovered.
When you consider the population of the world, there's most likely someone out there who could destroy our "Top5" but has never had the chance to even sit on a motorcycle.

Well, if the constant criticism and armchair quarterbacking are any indication, I'd guess this place has got almost all that are out there.
Oh wait. You said "riders". My bad. NFM.

I think this is why a lot of MX guys do so well in cars / karting. For me, when I had a few years off mx thanks to a few bad injuries I went kart racing and found it to be super easy. Almost like slow motion compared to mx. But so freaking expensive....unless you are loaded or have massive sponsorship $$ behind you, forget 4 wheel racing.

That track isn't narrow, its a really fun track to ride, quite a few good memories at that place for me.

Although, I thought it had shut down?

I see this in football, its just crazy what the eyes see and the brain processes in the 2.5 seconds before the ball is thrown. And running backs are just godly in the fact that they see things before they happen and can react in a blink of an eye with out hesitation.

Not everyone is made for that, you can learn but you have to have that ability in you from the start.

Truly amazing what some athletes can do. Really see that when you see professionals do it at a rate of speed that is so much higher then the average guy.

It's a great track. If you think thats rough, then you wouldn't like how it gets before it's once a week grooming! It's a though track to learn as the best lines seem to shift with the sand each and every lap. An exhausting ride but the trees aren't as threatening in person as they seem on video.

Man, it must have been one hell of an experience Woohoo
Was it the the 01 bike, or the 2002 bike (which was basically the 2003 design with the kick ass shock/linkage placement)?

You lucky SOB Tongue

EDIT: when I see the picture, it must have been the 02 bike (03 prototype)

Sorry this was in 2002 not 01, the 03 bike, whit the glow green plastic, I just had to ride that bike, it was my one shot at works equipment, rode about 20 minutes, I thought it was like riding a 250. I invited Jarrett to Norway just to say thank you, and he came! We had a ball on the town in Oslo, sadly he lost his factory ride in I think 04, but he was fast as he.. Cool riding style.Cool

Great story! Smile
You are so lucky to have tried it for a whole 20 mins! That`s a pretty long time for someone to "illegally" borrow you a factory bike!

Did you get any inside info on the rear suspension? As in, why they had it made like that, and why it wasn`t later turned into production?

No need to apologize for stories like that, they'll fit in any thread.
