Turned the boy loose on Breezewoods Big track

[Pappy]

Wow, we almost had the place to ourselves by arriving early on a friday morning.

[Pappy]

This is teh first real test for cody's new quad, and thankfully no real issues.

[Pappy]

He did laps on each track, and we now have a better idea of what gearing we need to run

[Pappy]

He really liked the first track at Breezewood, but it's layout is better suited for full sized quads. The elevation changes do not help the mini quads pick up speed to really hit the full size jumps, but he gave them hell anyway:D

[WhiteYFZ]

nice!! i cant wait till the 6th and 7th:cool:

[Pappy]

With a larger front sprocket, he feels he can clear a few of the table tops

[JRP]

that looks awsome. before u know it he will be on a 450 permanatley.:devil: :blah: :cool:

[Pappy]

Cody hit the step up 4th gear pinned:p He could almost clear it

thats bulldoody a little kid can ride 100x's better then me :blah: keep it up man!!! :blah: :blah: :blah:

[Pappy]

The big 100ft table dwarfs the mini quad, but he hit her anyway:cool:

[ghost450]

WOW! Now thats talent!!:eek2:

[Pappy]

Im sure after a few more trips to this track and a few tweaks to the quad, he will be getting more air and faster lap times

[400exrules]

hah, he jumps farther then me

[Pappy]

The Elka shocks sucked up whatever he threw at them

[WhiteYFZ]

wow this kid is awesome..!!!

[Pappy]

He did manage to clear the grandstand step up a few times, but I would like to see him way over it

[WhiteYFZ]

yp pappy how long does it take u to get to breezewood? i know its gonna take me 4.5 hours :eek2:

[Pappy]

The front 50 footer, well, he needs about 8 more feet to get the downside:p

[Pappy]

The largest table on the kids track is kind of rough, but with the new suspension he handled it

[Pappy]

Breezewood is about 50 minutes from my front door

[Pappy]

We did suffer some problems, the rear brake locked up, not sure why. I fixed it and off he went for more laps

[Pappy]

Then his throttle cable broke...well I am not sure what broke but I am thinking thats what it is.

you went home after the cable broke? why is this kid not in school :p

[Pappy]

I reckon that is what testing is all about, finding the weak spots

[WhiteYFZ]

im guessing hees on break
like me

[300exOH]

Looking good. Never thought I'd be drooling over a mini quad.:o :devil:

He actually did 4 or 5 laps with the throttle hung 3/4 open:p And they had spring break this week.

[Pappy]

The last tire is the edge of the step up, I got this pic to show he did indeed clear it:p

[Pappy]

He had a blast, and next week should be even better

[Pappy]

By the time we had to leave, he was getting a few of the jumps down. If teh cable had not broken I think he would have been clearing a few of the 40 footers

[Pappy]

I wish Natalie had been there today instead of yesterday, that would have been cool getting a picture of them two side by side in the air:devil:

[Pappy]

Cody rips on the kids track, I may ask dan to expand it and open it up a bit

[Pappy]

I need to build that track here at my place:cool:

[Pappy]

4th gear is whats needed on a fullsize quad to get over this table(400ex anyway:p )

[Pappy]

A 50 footer seems like a long way when your quad is only 43 inches long:p

[Pappy]

Even though its way to big for him to clear on this 90, it does give him expierence in a fairly safe way.

[JHF219]

hrmm that track looks familiar hopefully i will be on it again soon :cool:

[Pappy]

First time ive ever seen a BMW haul 2 bikes and gear:huh

[Pappy]

Thats about it, be sure to check out www.breezewoodprovinggrounds.com and if you get a chance sling some roost at this facility!

[JHF219]

I can vouche for this place great park, great facilities, the cabin gets a little cold when someone steals your heater cough cough KH426 cough:D

Pappy tell cody to keep it up !! hows he liking the clutch ?

[trick250r]

so pappy, we all know that cody can kick our asses, but who wins outta you two? :D

[Pappy]

He smokes me:p

He is not fast or anything on the MX track yet, but that will come with expierence.


John, he is diggin' the clutch

[Mxjunkie]

Do I hear a 85 2 banger motor in the future?

He'll be the next Joel Hetrick. :cool:

[BlasterEaten250]

That new mini is awesome:cool: that one table looks huge when he goes off of it:p

LOL...actually, we stopped by our local Honda shop on teh way home. The Honda rep was there and was drooling over the quad:p The store manager has his eyes peeled for a cr85 and a crf250x :scary:

and btw, anyone wanting $1000 off a new 05 450r, Ridersville is the place to call;)

Hahaha! damn I'm good. I knew that 125 thumper had some power but I knew the boy would need a little more speed :devil:

[Pappy]

Yep, I believe this will be his last year on a mini quad:p

So Birch Creek this coming weekend eh????? Gotta get a GNC plaque for his wall of shame.

[Pappy]

wall of shame:confused:


Not sure we are racing any nationals this season, just locals. I am pretty sure he would have to run 90 mod in the nationals, and I dont think this little thumper engine has what it takes to be competitive on a MX track against 80cc 2 strokes:p

Next year may be a different story, but for this year its all about learning MX

That was a joke. After seeing that wall covered with those plaques, I was VERY,VERY impressed!!!!

There u go! It always made me mad to see pics of him jumping and knowing what hes doing but hes racing XC. Knowing how to jump like that is something u dont want to go to waste!

I cant wait to go to Breezewood n learn some things from Cody ;)

[rbgnwa45]

lookin' good Cody :macho

[Ruby Soho]

thats one sick mini.

and one sick rider!

[Pappy]

he did a bit better with some changes to gearing and a carb that works.

he still has a ways to go to clear that big downhill:p

[Pappy]

he rips it on the youth track tho:D

[insaneracin2003]
