by about a minute in a 5 lap race haha
Somewhere there is a picture of my Dad on that same straight in 1973 on his brand new CR-250.
Some fun stories and no bs, drama or crap, thanks again to everyone...
It really is an eye opener, when it happens and you are thinking, im fit, im riding a lot, my bikes pretty good and then its uh Oh. Wheres Willie E Cayote when you need him..
I have this photos with Prado, I expected it to come from behind and then I tried to hold it a couple of corners. When I was young I competed a little more, once in 1990 competed in an international supercross here in Spain, in the qualifying I had on the grid next to me Trampas Parker recently crowned 125 world champion, was also Jim Holley, etc.
This is with Butron behind me, who comes to lapped me in one national round a few years ago.
It impresses when I have ever trained with pilots with high level Sidecars that compete in the world championship, how fast they are going, and when you pass them you do not feel like falling with that coming behind you.
Pit Row
Rode a track and Shawn was flying! Blew my doors off and it was a track I rode weekly and felt fast. I remember thinking, this guy didn't even make the main at St Louis supercross and made me look like I was on a PW..
On a side note, cycling up Left Hand Canyon Rd. in Boulder a few summers ago I thought I'd clicked off a decent pace when a pro, being led by a moped assistant, zoomed past me with what looked like zero effort. It was a thing of beauty to watch. Still amazes me that someone could be at that level of conditioning.
I naiiled the rut but Herlings just flat-tracked it around me carrying a retarded amount of speed, blasted off never to be seen again.
The only thing that crossed my mind was "what in the actual fuck."
Also, slightly OT but I always laugh when I remember hearing something on pulpmx a few years ago. Villopoto told Matthes he was doing hard laps at Milestone one day and Nick Schmidt just blew past him.
Hammer 663s
Hear a fast bike coming, hold your line, hold your line, hold yo...shiiiiittttttttttttt...that's crazy fast. I need to get off the track before I get landed on.
