Man, I got arm pump like no other, which is new to me. Maybe b/c I have not rode for 4 weeks. I'm frustrated, I just don't hope my front suspension is blown. I will be at geneseo too though.

had a great time riding brushy sat! rode for about 6 hours.first 5 minutes into ride, i flipped over backwards on a 8 foot ditch trying to jump out of the bottoms, lol after landing in a foot of mud, flipped her off me, and tried it again,,,,,same thing! lol i was a little muddy then.my buddies raptor made it, but he has 2" ext swingarm, keeps that front end down. i would have made it if i just hammered it and hung on, but tryin for no injuries before geneseo. never hurt anything on the 400ex, and not even my pride! lol i was a little crumbly when i started drying tho! also...a solid rear rotor is the way to go!!! a couple creek rides, and all day at brushy, and the pads are holdin up very well. also did the e- brake block off. i think next on the list is a 1 1/2 to 2 " ext swingarm. even on those tall raptors, they make it feel so much more flat climbing a pretty good hill. hope to see everyone at geneseo sunday.

Hey skull, I am using moose brake pads Thay seem to hold up better than the rest.

Sunday should be fun looks like it won't be to hot

It might be muddy. Is'nt every WFO race

Posted by: skull2002

that mud is a good "equalizer" lol should be a fun race! just going for a finish again! see ya there!

Posted by: blue150

I got the hole shot at FV

To bad I took the wussy trail on the first lap, I came up the hill and saw a arrow pointing to the right and I followed it. What was I thinking

I'm riding better every race. Going for a top half finish.

yeah I think he asked if 'A" wanted cash or trophys at one time. So cash it is.which isnt to bad considering gas prices.It would be nice to have a bigger A class also more riders =more money.....

It was a good race. I started the race off in neutral, so my start was crappy. But I managed 2nd in b-class

Posted by: dirtriderex

Hey watts, thanks for the video of the starts.

Posted by: Kev

Sweet video...

Was cool to see me get the holeshot and then blow it in that 1st left hander. I almost went right through the tape, wonder if they would of pentalized me...Probably.

Watts...A class is a paying class there and thier is no trophies for that class. They do however give a trophie for overall, which is normally a A rider.

Taylorville, Non district points race next sunday....
