At least 3-4 went down over that step up. It almost got me. They bladed it off right after that. It was another new face with a lot of dirt added and it was soft. The tree section was pitch black and rutted. I couldn't see shit in there. They tried to

Hope someone got photos. Fresh rebuild after some time away. Soft. Big, steep, close together, long - at least 10-12. NOT for the meek. I only saw a couple guys get them right. I didn’t get them right once but I did them every lap. Almost pro level size. ... more »

I’m similar in thinking but I’m at 110 hours on my 2018. Original top end that I will swap at 150 or so. I’m an older Vet and not hard on my bikes. I did MX Tech Luckies at 10 hours. Bike has been bulletproof and is plenty fast. I hate the look of the ... more »
LOL - he was faster on his 65 at Tulare than we were on our 450s. WAY faster.
I think you can get this in a 110/90-19.
And it offers almost no front end feel or traction. You hit a wet stick and the front just goes away, along with your ACL. Can't imagine how anyone would think putting that crap on a track is a good idea. And then charge to ride!?!? Frankly it's why ... more »
We rode it a few weeks ago. it was ok. Still deep "mulch" in a few areas and the usual clay prepped super wet (ruts) that turns to concrete blue groove in 2 hours. They are running Sunday but we will do Shoug Saturday instead since OTMX races are in ... more »
They got truckloads of this crap from the slash left behind by the wildfire cleanups. Lots of fires out here in 20/21. It was free I think but was a huge mistake. Honda did their 2021 release party there and it sucked. It's a beautiful track in a great ... more »
Here's how bad Mountainview was last year. Just horrible. Almost unrideable.
My sawdust here is from the lumber mill next door. Pure fresh fir that smells soooooo good! I had a custom gate builder I used in Sactown and that was usually red oak dust. Made the track pink for a while. Very cool stuff. I tried sand once from a paint

Gray’s Harbor uses a mulch with gawd knows what kind of shit in it. Smells horrible. Plus they just dump it on there a foot deep so it sucks to ride in. RV2 is track manager and you’d think he knows better.
A NorCal track years ago put in black sand from shipyard paint blasting. It looked cool but I wonder what we did to our lungs breathing that crap in. I love the fresh fir sawdust. Smells good, easy to work with, makes our already-good dirt majik. That’s

Here's how that sawdust dirt rides. Two old guys (pushing 60) so we are not blazing fast, but we still have fun. Nicest part about this dirt is when you fall, it's soft. And the bike doesn't get dirty at all. https://youtube.com/shorts/LKvnmt4okL0 https://youtube.com/shorts/bJcy2uDXYmg ... more »
Refreshed our whoops Friday. Tilled lightly, then rolled them with my truck. Made them more consistent and took a little of the "peakiness" out. Now they can be both blitzed or jumped, as JB and Justin demonstrate: https://youtube.com/shorts/vwuvYvwxzzs?feature=share ... more »
Sand is $250 for 5 yards and I get fresh sawdust for $100 for 10 yards. Takes me 5 yards to do all the straights and the corners where I like it. Transforms the dirt. I would like to add a little sand but $$$$.
It was really good. That was ripped a foot deep then I bucketed in a bunch of fresh fir sawdust, let it sit overnight, and tilled as deep as I could go right before we rode. We got a touch of rain overnight too. Almost unlimited traction and for the

I was critical after round 1. He has improved, and has more room to get better. Mid-year he will hit his stride and be excellent. Some good feedback here JT$ - hopefully you read it, watch the show, and make the few minor changes needed to become really ... more »
What a POS app and system. Huge step backward, not that Peacock was awesome. This is simply dismal.
Shows Off Air via Roku at 7:13 but is working online. Nice fucking job DC.
