Offorading 31st/1st?

Post by fixxervi6 » Tue Mar 27, 2018 9:34 am

Some cloud cover on Sunday would be preferred but before long it's going to be too hot to go off road (imo anyway).

Thinking about exploring the red bull barn side of the creek, hopefully get a little better prep time this time so I can be better prepared - by luck Mike and Shane found us last time.

This place is open to the public just on Sat and Sun 8am to 8pm

Would love to, but Easter is throwing off all my fun plans.

"cough, cough"

Sounds serious, maybe the flu even.

I am going to Trophy club park with a buddy on Saturday if the weather holds. If you have never been there, I think you would have a good time there. It has about 6 miles of directional trails as well as a beginner trail. They also have a smaller motorcross track that is set up pretty easy (at least it always has been in the past).

In addition, this place was always super sticky three days after rain so it may just be perfect. or a swamp.

I've ridden it before, I'd do it again so I may be down.

My problem at this moment is I felt a small pop in my shoulder area last night and I'm a bit sore sooo I'm kind of wondering if its just the shoulder or if a little something let go, no bruising so I'll have to play by ear.

So Connor and I went out to a place in Springtown, Holeshot Valley. Had a good time but holy hell riding in dirt is hard, weird, and scary. It's going to take me some time to learn how to ride dirt. I was pretty much at a complete loss. Took me most all day before I felt like I was starting to move and get the bike to move the way I wanted. I also decided part of my problem was by following Connor I was not going fast enough to get the bike to move the way I thought it should so at the slow speed I was going I pretty much constantly felt like I was going to fall over. ha! Did manage to get one jump in, and by jump I mean both wheels were off the ground at the same time for about half a second. It felt good though even though it wasn't entirely expected.

Also, why is it so damn scary going down a hill that you went up with out even thinking about? ha!
