Breezewood PA, Spring Fling! (PICS!)

[Pappy]

WOW! We had a killer time at www.breezewoodprovinggrounds.com!


There were a bunch of riders there and although the temperatures were chilly with that blasted wind, it did not stop people from coming out and going BIG!!!!


Cody was excited to see what improvements track owner Dan Harris had done since last season, and he was very surprised to see it now gave him some challenge to better hone his riding skills.

[Pappy]

Site member "Tommy" came down and was having a blast airing out his new bike

[Pappy]

JHForeman made the trip out east from Indiana to get in some pre race season seat time, and to see what jumps Breezewood had to offer

[Pappy]

Yfzdan was out and about ripping it up on his YFZ

[Pappy]

Casey, aka 05kfx, was there getting the feel of riding his quad, and doing mighty good I might add.


I enjoy meeting site members at these events, but Casey is a cut above! Besides being a kickass dude to hang out with, he allowed me full use of his monster sized king quad to run around getting pictures! Thanks a million casey!

[Pappy]

Brian, WPPRacing, was on hand and is another great guy to keep around! Knowing he was there put my mind at ease because he knows the engine side of things to help anyone who might need it...............but he wasnt around when someone made an entire retro/engine fit in less then an hour:eek:

[Pappy]

Birthday boy KH426 was ripping it up on his newly rebuilt YFZ

[Pappy]

GNCC Stock Class Racer Shawn was in attendence getting seat time on a non race weekend.


I reckon I should not have let him ride my quad:o :devil: Going from a full stocker to a full on race quad kind of ruined it for him:D

[Pappy]

I offered Tommy the chance to see what he is missing since making the switch to a bike.....I think he liked my quad as he soon was clearing many of the jumps at breezewood:D

[Pappy]

I caught this rider almost biting the dirt:p

was anyone riding a 250ex with stock suspension and if so, how did they do? are the jumps too big for little quads with no suspension mods??

[Pappy]

I geuss over the years I have developed a knack for knowing what to look for in a rider, and a rider with a case of the "OH Chits":D

There were all types of quads from stock to fully built, and the tracks are designed so that anyone of any skill level can safely ride on them!

[400ex28]

Great pics pappy two thumbs up !

[Pappy]

By early afternoon, I would say atleast 40 quads were on the different tracks, and finally track owner Dan came off the water truck and onto the track to give me some money shots!

[Pappy]

Breezewoods newest jump is a monster. It is an uphill 65 footer and boy does it send you WAYYYYYYY up in the air!

lol wish i couldve gone (needed a ride :mad: :mad: )

[Pappy]

I really wanted to stay close to the big uphill, but I snapped a shot of Dan airing out his 400ex on a 70 foot downhill:eek2:

[Pappy]

I do not know how high it will send you, but Dan loves to air it out and show some style doing it:cool:

[Pappy]

As you are entering Breezewoods pit area, there is a big sign that states..."WE LOVE QUADS!"

And to top it off, the track owner loves tp ride with you!

[fast250r]

Looks like a good time. That up hill jump looks killer. I cant wait to get mine put together. I want to try that jump.

[ZeroLogic]

Cool pictures Pappy.:macho

[Pappy]

GNCC Womens Class rider Shanna B was out to get seat time in before the next race

[Pappy]

Another rider gives me a point as he clears one BPG's tables

[Pappy]

Shawn took my R out for something different then his stock R. I think he liked it...just a little:D

[Pappy]

Turning someone loose on your $13,000 quad can be unnerving, but I do not worry about it. When people want to see if what I build is what I say it is, there is only one way for them to know for sure:macho

[Pappy]

lap after lap, higher and faster....the R just took whatever he threw at it

[Pappy]

My brother, and BK Performance's ace wrench, spent the better part of saturday dialing in his new Walsh/Elka front end.

[Pappy]

Cody spent his time dailing in on the new layout.

We all were kind of disappointed that his quad could pull him over the doubles, but we needed more power.


Power would come early sunday morning:chinese:

[Pappy]

yfzdan playing on the kids track

[Pappy]

I kept thinking how this little quad would be with 125cc and a manual clutch:scary:

[Pappy]

More and more riders found thier way to BPG and I was having fun taking pictures of them

[Pappy]

There were several nicely outfitted quads there

[Pappy]

Im not sure if I had a chance to chat with this rider, but he looked pretty damn good out there

[Pappy]

JHForeman was bound and determined to clear that new jump

[Pappy]

Lap after lap he would just come up short

[Pappy]

Slamming down, short by just a foot or so depending on the lap

[Pappy]

Coming up short, but fairly safe, he kept giving her hell

[Pappy]

By the end of saturday he was on the downside

[Pappy]

John playing on a 50 footer

[Pappy]

Casey getting used to the whole MX thing

[Pappy]

After dialing in his shocks, Kevin started having a little fun

[Pappy]

Tommy clearing a step up on my R

[Pappy]

My youngest son Ryan was having a blast

[Pappy]

No stylish riding gear, just what ever it took to keep warm

[Pappy]

Shawn on his R hitting the big uphill

[Pappy]

There is no inbetween time at this track, you land one jump and the next one is in your face!

[Pappy]

Dan would style for me every lap!:D

[Pappy]

Kevin will get back in the groove, its been a few months for all of us:p

[Pappy]

Just a bit more power and a manual clutch(repeating over and over in my head:ermm: )

[Pappy]

Killer shot of John

[Pappy]

Shawn beating himself up on the stock suspension:p

[Pappy]

I think John drove all that way just so I could take his picture:devil:

[Pappy]

Dan dodging low flying aircraft:cool:

[Pappy]

I can't wait till the boys from Akraix meet Dan and BPG:chinese:

[Tommy 17]

nice pics!!! as usual i had a good time riding with everyone... i did alot better on my bike then i thought i would... do ya got any more pics of me on it?


thanks for lettin me ride your 450r pappy... that thing rips!!! the outlaw LSR rear end was awesome on it... heck i had 2 laps on it and i could already start jumping stuff...:devil:

[TheZis2Fst4U]

Those pictures are sweet pappy. I was hitting the be 65 footer and the 70 ft downhill today but never caught back up with you. Nice to finaly meet the master behind the eyecandy..... Maybe I will catch up with you on the memorial day weekend if your going to be there. I was pulling heel-clickers off the 65 footer. and also did a nothing. Anyway nice pics and nice talking to you.

It was cool meeting you guys too.

I did see you pulling some tricks, but by the time I hobbled over there you guys were gone:p

[Pappy]

And we will be at BPG several times a month from here on out, the place is just killer

[TheZis2Fst4U]

Yeah I know. My friends were tired and frankly so was I, I wanted to stick that helmet cam on but I couldn't even feel the bars to ride...

[Pappy]

You did real good on the bike tommy:( we had our tool bag ready to rip the engine out if you dumped it:devil:

[Pappy]

I am kicking myself for forgetting 1 dang wire for the helmet cam:ermm:

next time for sure!

[Pappy]

this guy rode more then anyone on saturday, i did not thing he would be able to steer his truck home:p

[400ex28]

I need to make a long haul out there sometime by looking at these pics :cool:

i'm surprised i was doing as good as i did for not riding a bike for 6 years... and the last time i did i shattered my femur! haa

[Pappy]

As the day wore on, the sun toned down and I could get some good pics

[Pappy]

haha that motor would make cody and AWESOME RIDE!!!


Tommy, Ill be getting to what YOU missed shortly:devil:

[TheZis2Fst4U]

yeah you do. That place is awesome. The owner (Dan) rode not more than 45 minutes saturday or so it seemed to me. He was grooming the tracks non stop and believe me, dust was not a problem.

[Pappy]

I was trying to get both quads in the air, dang tree:p

[Pappy]

Kevin...lord of the panick rev:D

[Pappy]

Ol' XC boys gittin'r done

[Pappy]

Shanna stated she did not jump, but here she does:p

The club house/dining hall is in the background. We all ate a hog Dan cooked, and watched "The Fallout" as quads could be seen from the large windows clearing jumps outside.....all that my friends equals KICK ***!

[Pappy]

John tackles the double double table section on the upper track

[Pappy]

second double

[antman]

man looks like you all had a great time... i wish i could have been there, but maby next time...

[Pappy]

table

[Pappy]

the upper section is dangerous for a spectator. you can get nailed if you are not paying attention....or even if you are:p

[Pappy]

John hitting a table on the upper track

[Pappy]

I ended up with quite a few pics for John:p

[Pappy]

Casey ripping it up

[Pappy]

Kevin lit poor Shanna up:p

[Pappy]

I am pretty darn sure Casey enjoyed his time at BPG!

[Pappy]

And you all know the rule...you screw up...I get it on film:p

nice save btw;)

[Pappy]

yep....almost ran me over eh lil bro:scary:

[Pappy]

I called it quits...I think he had it in for me :D

[Pappy]

see rule above:cool:

[Pappy]

Gotta love roost

[Pappy]

As the sun started to set, I caught this rider ripping thru the sweeper uphill leading to the new jump.

[Pappy]

And as the sun set, the temperature drivin by the wind started to fall...fast

[Pappy]

Saturday was almost history as riders got in thier last laps.


Dont worry, I have 200 more pics:eek2:

[Pappy]

Saturday night was killer. Indoor pitbike racing and plenty of fun after dark.


Seeing those 125cc pitbikes sure had my wheels turning:chinese:

[Pappy]

9 am sunday morning, camera in one hand, coffee in the other. hey, you boys wanna ride, ill take your pic:p

[Pappy]

I reckon all that noise finally woke up the waltons:huh

[Pappy]

Shortly after breakfest, what would you know pulled in beside me:confused:

A vendor selling full on pitbikes:huh

[Pappy]

Do you think he will notice he is missing a 125cc engine:devil:

[Pappy]

WWWWHHHOOOAAAAA:eek2:

[Pappy]

Im not sure you folks realize that 125cc manual clutch engine from that pit bike is really in codys quad now:p

[Pappy]

I think Kevin was getting tired by the time he started feeling good on the quad

[Pappy]

YFZ hitting the big up hill tripple

[coryatver]

[Pappy]

450R right behind him

[Pappy]

is that a trick question...lmao ( i think he believes honda is manufactured and built by the USA:huh

[Pappy]

I will say that Cody put a smack down on a 300ex with it today:chinese:

[Pappy]

Some honda's are. My 400ex was built in North Caralina. Japan is not tiawann:confused:

[Pappy]

aired plum out:cool:

[Pappy]

Originally posted by coryatver

ok, so if its assembled here its better..gotcha

the extreme engines are made on the same lines as the honda's...and a few other facilities around the globe. it was a direct bolt in, and I can even swap the honda cases onto it if it will make you feel better.

how does it preform compared to our built 90cc national engine:confused: it smokes it.

[coryatver]

Im pretty sure the honda parts are made here also. At least on the 400ex and the 04/05 450r's. But yeah my question was just if it ran better because I really didn't expect that it would. Thats awesome it works great!

[Pappy]

Well, we had a blast. Im a bit wind burnt, still need a second shower to get the dirt off, but still smiling from a killer weekend. Met some new folks, met some more atvriders.com members, finally got the kid on a manual clutch with some more power and the wife isnt yelling at me...life is good:p


I hope to see more of you out at breezewood soon!

[fast250r]

Is that engine going to stay in Codys quad, or was it just a loner for the weekend?

[Nick110]

It better be staying in there Pappy.:macho

[05_KFX]

Any time PAPPY, the "KING" will be there any time you need it. And for those who could not make it, you missed out on a awesome time.

[TheFontMaster]

Looks like you guys had an awsome time. I should be there next month rippin it up.:macho

[honda400ex68b]

[Pappy]

A bit of air for Tommy

[Pappy]

John hammering it on the big jump.

[Pappy]

I forgot to take a smaller lens, so hopefully you can see some of the layout and track in the background

[Pappy]

i went to the top bleacher to get a new angle when Tommy came jumping by:p

[Pappy]

If it was a tad bit less windy, and about 15 degrees warmer, it would have been perfect

[Pappy]

Cody clears a double as my weekends chariot sits in the background.

[Pappy]

A rider clears the front 50 footer as Dan's house is seen in the background. Thats one heck of an alarm clock:devil:

[Pappy]

Kind of makes you want to go get the quad ready dont it:cool:

[Pappy]

And I am about due for a new camera....anyone want to start a "Pappy needs a b!tchin new camera" fund:p

[cool 300ex]

Very sweet pics Pappy. I have heard of Breezewood before. My one friend from Vo tech and his friends went out there on dirtbikes before. I never been there i think it's around an hour and a half or so from where i live. Looking like a sweet track i will have to make my way out to it some day.

[Kilabanshee]

Awesome pictures Pappy! I can't wait to get my 450 together and ride this track!

[Tommy 17]

its a really nice place to ride... the berms are really nice and theres alot of table tops! its a pretty smooth track 2...


this was my 1st time out on a track in 6 years on a bike and i did just fine... its not that bad but its def got some difficulty if u wanna go big!

[ZeroLogic]

Looks like you guys had a blast!

[wppracing]

Nice pictures Pappy,
Good seeing you guys again. You cant ask for a nicer crowd and great place to ride and all in the same place.

[Yfz450dan]

Great pics pappy!

[quad2xtreme]

Damn Pappy, I need to hire you to be my personal photographer for a day. I've come to grips that it is time for a new digital camera. What do you have? Mine is old and you have to time your picture taking by snapping the picture about a second early...so you more often than not you miss a good shot. Looks like your camera and your picture taking are right on target.

I was riding on Sunday and it was a busy but not too crowded. Had the right about of people spectating versus being out on the tracks. At one point, there were 17 people running the kids track having a blast.

/Jon

[DVXchic]

Hey guys, I was just wondering if there are special weekends for riding, and if there is when is the next one. I would love to take the 4 hour drive to spend a weekend there.
I will bring some of my crazy canuck friend if thas alright.
LMK when the next one is and i will make plans to be there.:D

[YfzMX212]

This place looks like an awesome place to ride, I mapquested it and this place is about 5 hours from me so maybe i'll make a weekend trip during the summer.

[Ralph]

I will deff be going to this track because its pretty close to the college im going to. Sounds like an awesome place.

[JHF219]

Pappy,

It was great to see you guys again. I got in around 5 am this morning !! I will definetly be back. Hopefully next time there i can full put that heel clicker togethor. And give you a TON more shots:devil:

[YfzMX212]

Does this track hold races?

[JRP]

awsome pictures pappy, looks like an awsome track. SInce im 15, will dan let me ride out there on my 450? thanks

[dan harris]

Pappy I just finished looking at all the awesome pics, great job. I had a great time riding with everyone this weekend and really enjoyed having your brother and all his friends in the rental cabin for his birthday weekend.

I'd like to thank all the riders who came out and rode in the cool 40 degree temps making this a great weekend. I hope everyone enjoyed the pig roast lunch on sunday.

I'm still a little sore from all the crashing I did friday night on the pitbike at the indoor track. Cody's quad is awesome with that new motor and he can really rip with that thing. I look forward to having you guys back out and hope to put together an Atvriders dot com weekend.

[Pappy]

they have indoor pitbike races that were a blast to watch, but i am not sure if they have outdoor races for them. (they should, Im hooked!


I dont think they have any regular races, but I would love for dan to put together some Youth only races for quads and bikes....outlaw style. I would be all for it and behind it, and I would help get support for them as well.
