Diablo MX looks pretty good from the videos they have posted. Might have to check it out.

Raced at Hangtown, super hot but had fun. First race on the 350 so that was interesting.

Jumped in the pool afterwards and had some 805s and ate some bbq.

Life is good.

I rode practice at JWTF for the first time since spring. It was so hot that I had to make some jetting changes on the CR250, ran great after I leaned it out a little. It was a good day of riding and to top it off I had the Southwick motos waiting to be watched when I got home.

Had a great weekend of riding in North Texas... Underground MX on Sat and Johnsonville MX on Sun, with the rain we have had both tracks were epic... MX may be dying off some but there is still a pulse here in Texas...

Yes they do. I really like their GP track. Good flow, good dirt, no do-or-die jumps. The main track isn't bad either, but is a little more sandy. Other tracks there too, but I don't ride them as often. I'm a vet intermediate, FYI. Rio Bravo is also very vet friendly.

That looks like heaven on Earth to me....

To get back on topic... I didn't hit a track this weekend but did put about 300 on my adventure bike... Lots of empty 2 lane paved roads plus plenty of gravel roading...
Thanks man, an Enduro father in law with a huge farm got in the package with the wifey
Cool Laughing

Still working on him so I can cultivate/rip the track so I'll get it loamy and loose.. the grip is unreal when the grass is gone. Woohoo

But as said, he is a Enduro rider and they like their grass fields..

Enjoy, gonna get some gopro soon:

Thanks for the info! I made it to Rio once, 2012 maybe, and I absolutely loved it. The whole place is a great experience, I've been talking about going back ever since.

Went to Zaca and rode Saturday. Epic track as it was my second time there (first time it rained and was really muddy). Bunch of fast guys there including the 722.

Looks like god punished you for running your crossbar pad backwards.

Didn't ride this weekend, but watched grass track sunday, those boys and girls are nuts! 500cc solos and 1000cc sidecars. Would love to have a go. This is last years event but pretty much the same.

2 gears, no brakes and full opposite lock!

Not that there is a correct or incorrect way, but I prefer the Renthal "R" to be facing me while I'm on the bike. Wink

Totally rained out here, torrential rain and some flooding. Lives were lost...
I've never seen rain storms like what we had here last week.
Hoping to get out there for a ride this week. Tracks will likely be washed out, but hey, it's all good

I race with the http://www.sierraothg.com/ We had a Saturday night race with our sister chapter Bay OTHG and a few from the Valley OTHG were on hand. It's been like 10 years or so since the OTHG was at Lill Okie.

Good times

Just got in from doing the first complete loop. Last hill section is a total bitch but it is awesome. If the rain holds off tomorrow I will make a GoPro lap and post it up. Had a bunch of sections around but tied most of them all together today.


I took a wrong turn and found a whole bunch of good stuff....so it will be getting longer
