This was my first GNCC and the name lived up to it's reputation. This is what it looked like for mere mortals, not the Pros! I finished 3 laps and placed 2nd! Had the holeshot and lead until the mud section, after that it became a survival test. Only 2 in my class finished 3 laps. This is a long video and covers some of the first lap (before it really gets bad!). I'll post part 2 later. I did a decent job keeping the camera lense clean given the conditions.

Course was 12 miles, 4 of it was fields and it felt like 20 miles of mud! Not just one spot, but miles of it!! 2 hrs and 15 minutes on the bike... I almost cried when I came around after lap 2 and was given the 1 lap board!!

Good for you . Just finishing a GNCC race is an accomplishment let alone doing it in the 50 plus class. The kid that I have been working with since last spring won his first race on a big bike last weekend at Mud Muckers.

Looked fun. I did the Ironman last year and it was a friggin blast.

I'd much rather have the wet sand you guys call mud than our northern US mud....

Cool video thanks for posting! Looked pretty fun but I'm sure the video doesn't do it justice how gnarly the ruts were.

I would like to try a GNCC this year. Not sure what class I would race, I race 35/40 B class mx but I don't want to jump in my first gncc and have to do 3 hours!

Pitracer I believe you could ride the sportsman class in the am and only have to ride 2 hours

This picks up where part 1 finished. I show the completion of lap 1 so you get to see the entire course. After that, you'll see a series of mishaps. You can sometimes even hear the bike over my out of breath panting!

I didn't catch every fall or mistake as this video is long enough!

I read an article in Dirt Rider several years ago, where they "ranked" the various off road series in the country...they said the national hare and hounds (my favorite) were the scariest, and that GNCC's were the hardest...after watching your video, I'm going to go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt on that and agree with them.

That kind of riding is absolutely foreign to me...I'm used to dust, rocks, whoops, sand...I wouldn't know what to do with trees, ruts, mud...just crazy.

Thanks for posting that video..

GuyB, Thanks for the offroad "love" on the homepage! Have you shot a GNCC before? Those Pros really are quite a step up from my videos! LOL!!
