Well tonight was my first trip to a motocross track. Went to a local track called lexington motocross. There having a big event tomorrow and sunday so they allowed riders who preregister to practice some this afternoon. Track owner told me on the phone there probably wouldn't be a bunch of quads but loads of dirt bikes. Well when i get there for practice i was the first and only quad to have registered and he then decides to tell me that it isn't an atv friendly track, so be very careful.
Well that just totally made the butterflies almost unbearable. I see all the pictures online and everything and when i get down to the track my first thoughts were holy $h!t. :eek2:
I did okay i guess. I cleared what seemed to be pretty decent size doubl. A table top i was having to hit in the top of fourth or bottom of fifth gear. There was a rythym section that i could get through to save my life. All i can say is hopping into the middle of doubles hurts. I think my best bet is just to suck it up and hit them hard enough to clear them. Cause all those flat landings on the jumps that scared me is killing my back. I don't mean just a little sore i mean it took all my energy just to get off the quad. Saw one guy brake his ankle on the finish line jump. I don't know what to really call this one. It was a table top but had a jump before it u used to jump up to the finish line. I didn't hit it either :D
But i geuss i did pretty decent almost went over the bars about 4 times in that rythym section but hey still in one piece.
If anyone has any tips for me let me know sure could use all the help i can get. The 800mg ibuprofen before i left the track and the 500mg hydrocodone or however u spell it are the only help i have so far so feel free to shoot some tips this way
:macho
