Looks awesome... Me and a buddy of mine are currently building a track, but the jumps won't be near as big since we don't have a lot of room to work with.

Hey Tommy, do you have any suspension work, or are you running stock suspension. How does your suspension handle those jumps. I have a cr125 with stock suspension and Ive went to Rausch Creek before and my suspension handled some of the jumps ok, some some of them I bottomed out bad. Do you know a good place to get suspension work and about how much it would cost.

suspension is stock... handles everything fine... it could use a lil bit of set up but thats it for right now...

the best place to get suspension work is PR2 in butler or PRO ACTION thats also in the pittsburgh area...
