I raced my first off road race called the sandy clam gp, it was a god damn blast!! 3.5 hours on the rmz450, front forks at 181 psi, clickers in stock settings. hahaha I thought for sure my hands were bleeding by the end of the 90 min. I passed my way into first and even passed a couple of the AA guys from the expert line. Two pit stops, fuel and goggles, and about six stalls later I wound up in 4th with only blisters for a trophy.

Loved those kinds of races- moto, fire road, 1st gear twisties through the trees, and endurocross all in one. All you're missing is a big mud hole!

Nice vid, thanks for sharing. Takes me back.

That looked awesome........3.5 hours of that and I would be on the stretcher. How many laps did you do. Laps looked pretty short, like less then 10 min.......

You were too nice to that slower guy in the beginning. Then you get caught in the offroad black hole and ride by yourself for awhile. I hate that as I tend to ride slower. No way to judge against others.. The best thing that can happen is a faster lapper comes along and gives you a target and latch on to him. That can be alot of fun just you and him and trying to catch a guy that is a bit faster. Most times they just fly by, but sometimes you can keep up for awhile and it is a blast.

The only problem with this kind of race is old F**ks like me cannot go 3.5 hours. Did they have teams where you can switch off with two riders and one bike??????

I just re-read my post, I should have clarified. I had 3.5 hours on the hour meter, basically brand new bike. The race was 90 min, hahahha id still be in the woods somewhere dead if it was 3.5 hours!!i did 11-or 12 laps I think. It was up on the Oregon coast right next to the sand dunes at a track called Riley ranch Mx.
