VetRider97 Added a reply to Going to Spring Creek

9/15/2020 12:39pm
Cool to watch starts and whoops on overlook between Chad-a-pult and whoops. Then work you way up to Mt Martin for uphill triple and then over to see riders blitz the same downhill. Can continue around track with numerous close /good viewing spots. Best overall view of track is on knoll on downhill side of collarbone, or even on large...

I heard from a really good source at Spring Creek state of MN was basing limits of attendance for Pro Nat race on a certain headcount per acre of land and the max attendance would be a pretty substantial amount of PPL allowed. If that information proves true with the possibility of reduced attendance from normal a with the Covid...

Worth the drive. Excellent track and fun to ride! Great dirt, wide, fast, big jumps with safe landings.very good at keeping dust down with watering truck roads. Very well organized, run through race day moto's quickly.

VetRider97 Added a reply to How to become a flagger at the Nationals?

9/8/2020 6:51pm
Drink all night and show up at sunrise you're in. All kidding aside, flagging moto makes for long day and they need better trained and paid flaggers. I'v seen too many unnecessary injuries due to poor flagging.

VetRider97 Added a reply to How to get your group of cats to start riding again?

7/20/2020 5:36am
Wish you good luck but it's tough to get people back in the sport. Guessing most people come into the sport in teens and fade out by 25 . Injuries, family responsibilities and the realization you have to commit considerable time and money to ride takes it's toll. People in group start dropping off and it affects everyone attitude towards...

VetRider97 Added a reply to Moto Guy Trying Off-Road - Who's Got Advice?

6/25/2020 7:23pm
If you are riding a motobike in single track, woods or technical rocky/rooted stuff you need to go softer on suspension on both ends or you will be bouncing off everything. At least 1 or 2 teeth larger on rear sprocket. Bark-busters are a must if you ride in woods and want to keep you fingers.Ride standing up and steer...

His back was against the wall when he was fighting through multiple career ending injuries. It wasn't long ago when it was said he wouldn't be able complete on the pro level again, then it was said he wouldn't be a title threat. Since then he has won in both SX and MX and was a legitimate title threat in...

VetRider97 Added a reply to Have any other local tracks started limiting attendance like this?

3/15/2020 1:42pm
If they haven't yet they will be required to IMO.I think COVID 19 is going to shut everything down including tracks, malls, stores,etc,ect.. Only think open in heavily effected ares is groceries and drug stores. Would think dirt bike riding itself has a low risk, it's the other exposure related to it....how many people sign up at same counter or...

VetRider97 Added a reply to My KTM 300XC....A Year in Review

9/1/2019 6:51am
They are great bikes. I have 2019 with 15 hours riding woods and some moto at 1000+/- elevations. Agree the counter balancer combined with stall-proof motor, electric start and narrow-light feel make the bike a blast to ride. Bike is very easy to change direction compared to the 350XCF I had. As I understand carbs come set up to help...

VetRider97 Added a reply to Upper body/Arm fatigue while riding

8/4/2019 4:49am
Ride more and you should loosen up grip with confidence....once a week is minimal, the more the better. I have similar issue in spring every year, Living in the great north it takes me a month or more of riding to get comfortable and reduce arm fatigue. Make sure you "warm up" by riding few sessions before you start pushing...

VetRider97 Added a reply to Roczen not looking so good

7/29/2019 8:52am
He's a ex champ, I would guess in his mind anything less than winning championship is not meeting his goal and it's human nature he's not going to project the same level of energy. As far as his up and down riding and late moto fade, it can take years for someone to heal physically and mentally from these types...

7/18/2019 5:46am
In for Saturday race only. Too many years down there fighting the mud. They received heavy rain early this AM and more coming tonight. Going to be soft, rough and brutal conditions for amateurs with 90-95 temps and 100-105 heat index for Friday. Saturday looks better for pro's with temps in mid 80's. Should be great racing with pro's having...
