Jump over to the xr250 section on TT. There are a couple XR wizzes over there who continually check in and answer any and all questions. Tons of insight over there .... technically.
There was absolutely no similarity between the two passes, so stop with this shit. Ferrandis's take out was clearly an asshole maneuver. The rest is racing So boo fucking hoo for Dylan.
Thanks for the update. Give us another once it's loaded down with bikes, gear, food, and xtra crap.... In So cal, there are tons of grades / elevation changes, especially on way to most tracks for me. That's where I think the big test would be, loaded down.
I had a buddy who was in the same predicament. He was going faster and faster training harder and harder. He had his head set on being a World Vet Champ! I was so impressed with his riding and endurance. Everything was peaking. Then one day at our local track, he high sided and lawn darted ... never to wake...
