View Full Version : the boy has a set

In anticipation of his new MX quad, I set out to add some bigger jumps for Cody.
He came home from school and geared up...I reckon he did not want to wait:chinese:
Pappy
03-31-2006, 01:01 PM
He pulled down to size things up
Pappy
03-31-2006, 01:02 PM
I had not had a chance to build a down ramp yet, but he figured he would be ok.
A few runs up to the lip to get a feel for the take off
Pappy
03-31-2006, 01:03 PM
A couple of moments to mentally size things up as it were. He said he thought he had better wait for more suspension:chinese:
Pappy
03-31-2006, 01:04 PM
I kept standing in my spot, and when heard him click 3rd gear i knew it was on:D
Pappy
03-31-2006, 01:06 PM
Mom brought me down a drink as Cody kept nailing the jump

AWESOME!! lol .... hees gonna need some LT soon. :D
Pappy
03-31-2006, 01:07 PM
Its around 30 feet that he is jumping, and roughly 8 feet high. When its finished he should see 40 foot out of it with a nice landing

Wow. That's one heck of a jump for a mini. Looks like he's really pushing the limits of the 90 now. Any pics of him landing? I wouldn't be surprised if he's bottoming out when he lands now.
Pappy
03-31-2006, 01:14 PM
he is hitting bottom being there is no real landing for him. Its so dry here that all you see is a dust ball when he touches down:p
300exOH
03-31-2006, 01:19 PM
Yeah I noticed the cloud of dust on the takeoff. I wish it was that dry here. A few more inches of suspension and he'll really be flying. :devil:
Pappy
03-31-2006, 01:19 PM
The dust is wreaking havoc on the auto focus, sorry for teh blurry pics. Not too mention I get a lil'bit nervous when he hits a new jump
Pappy
03-31-2006, 01:22 PM
the 125cc manual clutch engine is doing awesome, he has power and the quick rev's help him a ton now

very Proud...
cody started riding when he was 7 but only in our small yard. once we moved to our new place 3 years ago, he finally had a chance to learn how to ride and has been improving ever since.

That kid is crazy. He's probably gonna need a new frame after that jump.:p

Wow that's awsome! I hate hitting a jump for the first time, espcially if it's one I built... lol
We don't have to worry about dust here, there still a lot of snow left, and it's super wet! Lucky buggers!

yep, and he has had several good wrecks including one where he got crossed up his 35 footer that caused him and the quad to land half OFF the landing ramp, sending both tumbling until they both came to a halt:p
Pappy
03-31-2006, 04:16 PM
and he already is getting seat time in on a 450:chinese:

i went back down and worked the landing for him
Pappy
03-31-2006, 04:20 PM
Cody would hit it, id adjust the landing
Pappy
03-31-2006, 04:22 PM
He likes the jump, but the approach is rough
Pappy
03-31-2006, 04:23 PM
With a landing now, he can adjust his speed and land smooth
Pappy
03-31-2006, 04:25 PM
He backed out of the gas a few attempts, but there is enough room for error that he was fine
Pappy
03-31-2006, 04:26 PM
you can really hear him clutch the engine and rip thru the woods with the new engine

03-31-2006, 04:26 PM

Pappy

honda should be sending him a few new 90's....he has "tested" the 2 he has well beyond what any beginner would:p
Pappy
03-31-2006, 04:28 PM
Watching him ride is something I cant explain, its actual fun to do:p
here he sets her down
Pappy
03-31-2006, 04:29 PM
did i forget to mention he hits this coming out of a uphill turn:huh
Pappy
03-31-2006, 04:31 PM
he was getting relaxed, i could tell when i saw him looking at things on his bars instead of where he was sailing off to:eek2:
Pappy
03-31-2006, 04:32 PM
over shooting the landing, he did right.....gas on, head up
Pappy
03-31-2006, 04:33 PM
he is nervous and second geusses himself alot, i dont push him until i know he is going to hit a jump, then i get him pumped up

Cody is the man. I got the chance to walk his practice track and the pics don't do it justice. That boy has skills! And with an old man like his, the sky is the limit. Keep up the good work, both school and riding. Also don't forget about lil man, he'll be banging bars with his older bro in no time. Congrats Kenny you have two awesome boys!

No problem man. Every time I pick parts up at your place your whole family is more than nice. I end up staying a few hours shooting the $hit. I've noticed how your kids act to each other. Cody even had is arm around his brother. The only time my bro's had their arm around me they were wringing my neck.:p Keep up the good work!

dude your kid is awsome, i got some jumps that are the same size , and i hit em on a 400ex, but i dont go that big.........mostly because i have to flatland with stock suspension.............but seriously tell cody to keep ridin and racin, hes gonna be the next doug gust or even better!;)
wvspeedfreak
04-02-2006, 05:30 PM
You have to WATCH him ride to fully do it justice.Just the way he makes mid-air corrections and the body english is just amazing for someone his age.Smooooooth is the best way to describe Cody.
Pappy
04-02-2006, 07:52 PM
Yeah he can be smooth:p
yesterdays ride was just what he needed, he was too anxious to ride today so i told him no:( i think other parents will know what i am saying;)
he already asked what we can do to the new 125 to give him even more power:eek2:

the surprise to me was how well he handles the manual clutch! you would think he has been doing it his whole life, feathering, using it to bring the rpm up out of a corner, its pretty wild watching him keep the gas on hard and use the clucth to control forward momentum over rocks and badly rutted section and the occasioanl log i throw in the track:D

04-02-2006, 10:14 PM
How does he do in the GNCC races? Can he hang with that Walker Fowler kid? By the way I wish you were my dad:cool:
Pappy
04-02-2006, 11:17 PM
Cody finished 5th in 2005 in the 90cc production class(and he missed the last round), besting Walker at the Steele Creek round. Walker has a few years expierence on almost every other youth rider and it shows. Being fast doesnt always equal a win, but when you combine expierence and speed you have a champion...ie Fowler.
On even quads, it would make for a tire grinding race. On the MX track, Cody will smoke him.(I say that because Walker doesnt do mx haha) Now put Fowler on a bike and its a different story, the kid is amazing.
Cody played by all the rules last season...competed against alot of quads that were not 90cc, and faired well even tho he was under-gunned as it were. If we could have this set up....it would make for an interesting race in the woods no matter what youth rider you bring.(not being conceeded, i just know what the boy can do)
We are just out to have fun, nothing more at this point. But I am sure that in the near future we will heat things up and he can make a name for himself if he so chooses. The Koontz series is getting heated up...and thats where CJ will get some racing in this year, along with his quest to secure a district mx championship. dont worry, ill be sure to take everyone along for the ride as i get full coverage no matter how he finishes!

Ken tell Cody great job. We miss you all at the GNCC Nationals. I can't wait to get Michaels new Honda built to handle jumps like that. I'm now a true Honda lover. These trx's are tuff. I can't believe it takes the jumps with the stock suspension.
It really shows in a kids riding when they have their own track in their yard. I wouldn't live in a place where your front yard isn't pit road for your kids!:devil:
Pappy
04-03-2006, 06:14 PM
We miss seeing everyone at the Nat's also:( but money is tight and we have to stay closer to home this year.
We will be at the Koontz Race this sunday for the MX at R&D....Im waiting on a call from Paul to see if they will let cody run this quad in a mini class or if he has to run the 91cc-300cc 4 stroke class. I think he will do good in either:p

Once again, thank you all for your support of my riding. Hopefully I will continue to progress and be safe. I am thankful to live where I do and to have a track to ride on.
The new jump is really fun, with a really long approach compared to some of my others. I am hitting it in thrid gear about mid throttle, the new 125 has alot of grunt. Hopefully my new bike goes together nicely and we do not run into any problems. I can not wait to hit jumps on the new quad with my new shocks and a arms.
Have fun

Yeah they have a mod class but there is hardly anybody in it. Usually only 1 will show up and that is Dallas Tapscott not sure if you know him or not. They said last year that they were doing away with the mod class but they still let them run when they show. You guys should come down this weekend.

Mr Cody Hill.
I'll tell Michael what you said. He was talking about you this past National in NC. He said he missed racing with you. He got a magizine there and saw your big picture in the Elka add. Looked good.
Keep up the good work and please ride smart and safe. I will never forget the time you stoped during a race and rescued Michael from under his quad.
We will have to get together this summer and let you boys ride. You wouldn't believe your eyes when you see him ride now.He's waaaaay faster then last year.He rides like a mad man.

One mishap into a corner that sends him into the brush on your wooded track, and his new nickname might be Popeye! Plus a pair of reflective goggles would just look all the cooler!
