April fools ride at Pappys

[Pappy]

Wasnt no jokes here today, just roost being thrown:macho

[Pappy]

Koontz Series youth rider and family friend Cody Cooper came over to test out his new CR85

[Pappy]

wvspeedfreak (jason) and his family came to have some fun. Austin was ready to rip on his Kasea

[Pappy]

Ryan was happy to have some more riders to enjoy the day with

[Pappy]

Cody wasted no time in hitting his new double

[Pappy]

Austin was getting back into the groove as Cody showed them the track

[Pappy]

Cody C was getting the feel for the jumps we had for him

[Pappy]

Austin was wanting badly to clear the jumps and was well on his way to learning how!

[Pappy]

Cody looks over to see where everyone else was at on the track

[Pappy]

Austin followed Cody and was picking up the skills needed to ride his quad

[Pappy]

Cody turned it on and put the new 125cc to the test

[Pappy]

Cody C finally figured out how to hit the big table and that was that:macho

[Pappy]

Austin came up just a bit short and almost cleared the 30 footer

[Pappy]

Austins Kasea is set up, and the shocks work better then we all would have thought being he only weighs 50 pounds!

[Pappy]

Cody airing it out

[Pappy]

Cody is the man:p

[Pappy]

Cody C and his CR were having a blast

[Pappy]

Cody was tearing it up and was having zero issues with the new set up

[Pappy]

a different angle

[Pappy]

checking out the other riders as he clear his table

[Pappy]

Cody cheering on Cody C

[Pappy]

Austin getin'er dun:macho

[Pappy]

With good weather, racing will once again take priority around here, and although today was fun, Cody was on it

[Pappy]

The manual clutch and Cody seem to go good together.

[Pappy]

Austin had dirty teeth from all the smiling going on under that helmet!:D

[Pappy]

Cody was having a blast as everyone gathered to watch him and the others hit the jumps

[Pappy]

A look over codys shoulder as he nails the gas coming out fo a corner and the new power sends the front end skyward

[Pappy]

Watching young riders learn is a blast!

[Pappy]

cody following the smaller riders

[Pappy]

Once past the young ones, he was hard on tha gas again

[Pappy]

i am not sure what he was thinking about:p

[Pappy]

Cody C clearing the table

nice pics what kinda camera you got

[Pappy]

welp that is about it, everyone seemed to have a good time...cant wait for the next time we get to do this!

[underpowered]

Pappy, i think you need to start a youth MX training course, with cody as a hands on instructor. You have the track set up already.;) Those pics make me want ot ride ever worse than i already do.

wvspeedfreak (Jason) getting Austins quad ready

what! u and wvspeedfreak didnt ride!!?? no pics :blah:

[Pappy]

Cody C's dad was very very impressed with codys 125, so much so he will be doing the same conversion shortly to his

[Pappy]

naaa, my bike was sent off in pieces so people could ride the GNC at budds this weekend, and Jason was busy powdercoating his new a arms:D

[Pappy]

sorry for all the pics of CJ, but he is always hitting something:p

[Pappy]

Ryan actually has grown enough that his knee's are above his boots now:p

[Tom TRX250R]

The pics look great!!! I am really impressed with Cody's riding skills, he's gonna be the next Dana Creech!!! Very impressed:cool:

[Pappy]

not sure about being the next creech, but thanks for the compliment. he read that and is grinning ear to ear:cool:

[Pappy]

i did have to come down on cody a bit tho, with the new 125 he can over shoot his table:ermm: and he did...just to see how far he could jump:scary:

[Pappy]

i did not count how many times cody hit all the jumps, but it was enough:p

[Pappy]

atleast he did not get bored after 45 minutes like he does during practice, having others to ride with was nice.

[Pappy]

all i know is the kid loves to ride:cool:

[Pappy]

that cr85 hauls the mail also! it may make for a sweet lil hybrid:devil:

Joe400ex

as long as i am able, my kids will enjoy things like this. and hopefully it will make them better people when they get older. its all about fammily and friends...the way it should be!

i only let him hit the new double a few dozen times, with other riders running around it was hard to keep track of everyone and when he hits this jump he is WFO. as you can tell...i get more then a little shakey watching him bust that sucka:p

[Rip_Tear]

awsome pics Pappy but it's no fair... :p

So how is Ryan doing, getting his confidence up still? Hope he's doing better and can swing back (that is if he wants to).

[Pappy]

ryan is doing better. he is still unsure about riding but loves to do it. it will take time but he will be good as new before too long. he stayed away from any jump that he could not be fully seen. he knows that getting landed on is no fun.

[Pappy]

everyone was impressed once they saw cody bust the big double....i know alot of adults that wouldnt hit:p (me being one of them:D )

[Pappy]

Austin will be coming up every few weeks to ride with us. For being 7 years old he shows alot of good skills and riding with my boys should help him pick up some good riding tips as he progresses

[Pappy]

Luckily the wind was strong enough to keep the dust under control. the rain they were calling for never came:ermm:

hey pappy
how big is that kid on the cr85? i was thinkin about gettin the expert...how tall is he?

[Pappy]

Id say Cody C is about 5'4, maybe a touch taller. im 5'10 and the seat hit me right at crotch level.

[Pappy]

i think im about out of pictures:p

[Pappy]

Austins Kasea is just about perfect for him. the extra width his dad has added really makes it stable for him to make mistakes and not go out of control

[Pappy]

i will get some video of cody and get harlen to post it in the video section. pictures just dont show how he works that quad in the air

[Pappy]

LOL....looking at his expressions in the pics cracks me up....he is always in serious mode:p

[QuadJunkies]

nuthin like GOOD TIMES with a few freinds doing a little riding..:)

The Memories will be cool to look back on in a few years ;)

[450robot]

haha! man, he looks determined!

thats awsome pappy to see you do all that for your kids and everyone! your one nice fella!

looking at those pics makes ya think
"pros of the future?"

[05_KFX]

Looks like you guy's had a GOOD time at the house today. Wish you guy's could have made it out to Rocket Race Way with Kevin and I today, but it looks like you guys had just as much fun at home and didnt even have to travel. Cody is showing us what that lil 125cc will do. Glad I could have been a part of that mini hybrid motor swap. It is also good to see Ryan riding after all that he went through with his wreck. (thats my lil buddy).

[wvspeedfreak]

Kenny and his family always go out of their way to make us feel welcome at their home.The kids had a blast riding,Bridget fixed a great supper and I got a crash course in powdercoating all in one afternoon.It doesn't get much better than that :) I am very lucky to have friends like them and some awesome riding buddies for Austin.
Thanks again guys.....we look forward to doing it again real soon!

[Pappy]

yip:o

i think i will open a DIY PC shop and sit back and watch instead of doing it:D you did great and your arms look awesome....you did perfect for the first time ever picking up a gun!

[BlasterEaten250]

looks really fun! cody is getting better every time you post pics of him it seems:cool: I wish some of my friends rode:(

[WhiteYFZ]

can i come over and ride? :D ;)

[QuadR8cer12]

[wvspeedfreak]

[quads14589]

Looking good

If cody gets well into racing, he could be winning some national races by the time he's 16.

yeah, he may need or want more national plaques to hang beside the one he already has:D

[Ex_Rider43]

Pappy those pics are great!

I started riding at 4 years old on a 60cc yamaha quad and when I was 9 or 10 I got a LT-80. I would like to see a video of cody riding his TRX90 on the track , there is some minis racing in the canadian series , most of them are 90cc predators and some e-ton quads that can actually perform very well when they are modded.


I found the limit on my stock LT-80 very soon when I was riding hard , i would like to see how a modded trx can do. You got a 125cc kit in it ? i guess this is with a porting and a bigger carb?

[Pappy]

The engine that is installed in this thread is a Xtreme 125cc manual clutch engine out of one of thier pitbikes. Its stock, but does have a 24mm carb
