About Me
My name is Zach and I am the Director of Greenhouse Sales for a wholesaler in the Greater Chicago area. I also have my own produce brokerage company that imports bell peppers.. etc, from Holland.

I have been riding MX since i was 11 but like most stopped racing when i went to college. I just got back into riding 5 years ago and am totally addicted...on my 4th CRF 450 And riding the A class again.

Oh ya... I am one of the only surfing canadians out there.

Here is a couple pics my wife took of me a couple months ago. It was not a full prep practice day, so the dirt was a little dry. As you can see, its still awesome..

TSR has not had an MX track since late 2008. I ride with a bunch of Austin area guys, and they make the trip to Cycle Ranch most weekends. The toll road has an 85mph speed limit!! doesn't take long to get there...lol I ride Cycle Ranch most Saturdays, the dirt is simply amazing, good elevation changes and they maintain...

I rode Gopher, Baja and Motoland in Indiana before moving to TX, and can vouch for the depth of the sand at Gopher Dunes...It gets deep, gnarly and downright scary at speed, and is harder than the Michigan and Indiana tracks. Its all about flow, and keeping it pinned. I have also witnessed Lommel in person (thankfully on a beer...

Did your gloves get wet and then loose??? Cause thats pretty bad blistering. I dont get them very often, but I wear a thin palm and snug fitting glove (TLD or Thor)

AMA714 Added a reply to How much hp do you think the PC and Geico 250f's make?

5/2/2012 8:13am
One of the guys I ride with has a ton of money and likes to have "special" stuff. He spent an ass-load of cash for a CRF250 built by Terry Varner. It has stuff on it/in it that I cant even begin to describe. I believe this bike makes 46hp. It is the fastest 250F I have ever ridden, and...

Hey Terry, Is Marcel Fournier still making the best ice tires? Back in 87-88 I ran his stuff and it changed the way we raced.... I could hold the CR 500 WFO, step the ass end out going in and be pinned again 2 seconds later.... Unbelievable traction.

AMA714 Started a new thread 2009 YZ 450 push

1/27/2012 3:24pm
Ok, its no secret that the 08-09 YZ450 has a tendency to push mid corner out. I had a pretty decent set up for loamy to hard tracks but cant seem to get the front end to stay down in a berm on sand.. What are people running for sag, fork height, tire or anything else that may help... The...

AMA714 Started a new thread Mike Brown at Canadian National on the 350

1/27/2012 1:21pm
Anyone want to guess where the former national champ finished in the MX1 class up in Canada this weekend. After him running in the top 10 of a very stacked 250 US National this year, I had high expectations for him...

AMA714 Started a new thread Anyone tested a CRF450 vs CR500A/F

1/27/2012 11:09am
Just asking if anyone has compared one of the 500cc 2 stroke CRF bikes against a CRF450. I might keep my 06 and convert it once I get my new 450. There was a guy at my local MX track that had one and it looked like a blast to ride....BRAAAAAP Z

AMA714 Started a new thread Building A Bike for the Wife

1/27/2012 9:34am
Guys, I bought my girl a 99 YZ 80 for a smokin deal but realized very quickly that its way to much bike for her. It fits her perfect and she really like it but on the track she is intimidated...so I was thinking of fitting it with an XR/TTR 100-125 four stroke. Has anyone done this?
