Thoughts on first year back

Hello all, I can’t believe it was only last year that I got back on a motocross bike and track after a 35 + yr layoff 😄. I have only been on 2 tracks but have ridden them a bunch this year and have gotten much better on the bike and I’m passing a decent amount of guys in the C class. Fitness is good I can usually go as hard as I can go for the 15 min Moto that they do. Throttle hand arm pump is a problem..my jumps are better and I absolutely love going to the track! I’ve met some real good guys, a lot of friendly people many guys around my age.
Had a decent amount of crashes trying to push my limits but only one that hurt a lot..my ribs were bruised for weeks when I got high sided.
A local friend bought a bike and got on the track for the first time in his life,he is in his 50s , now we go together lol..hope to take a gate drop next season as racing is pretty much done here in MA.
All I can say is how much I love hitting the track and riding, makes me feel great and glad to be alive and still physically able to do this!

Very cool.

Have you given any thought about doing a vlog?

A vlog could be a great way to look back and track your progress! You ever get any dealer demo days in your area?
