Breezewood July 4th .....The Summer Slam!

[Pappy]

Where to begin! The weather wasnt too bad, there was ahuge turn out, and it seemed everyone had a kickazz time!

You can check out all the pictures from the weekend here BKP Photography (http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/store.aspx)

[Pappy]

When we arrived saturday, we saw another heavily modifeid TRX90 so we knew we FINALLY had a chance to race someone with a similiar set up and expeirnce.

Unfortunatley, our engine decided to let go:(

[Pappy]

I will get to the night racing in a bit, lets say Cody did his best on a tin can full of marbles:chinese: :p

[Pappy]

I do not know how many site members were there, but Dan said that it was "alot"!

My brother was worn out before he ever made it to the track but did some good riding this weekend.

[Pappy]

The "Couch" Race drew a crowd as the participants started gearing up and checking for loose change in thier race couches:eek2:

[Pappy]

A few riders were still kicking it as the riders were readied for the event

[Pappy]

A parade lap was in order and it gave the racers a chance to show off thier stuff and see how it handled:p

[Pappy]

Some went all out and others were running lean and mean like Randy Lehrs custom 3 cushion!

[Pappy]

The races were ran 2 riders at a time with teh winner advancing to the next round.

[Pappy]

The competition got fierce as the drivers pinned the gas and the couches tried thier best to stay on for the ride!

[Pappy]

Dans personal entry was withdrawn as there was an even number of teams. When they took it to teh burn pile, it attacked its rider!

[Pappy]

One team suffered a WTFR....I am sure you can figure what that stands for when you see a riders is MIA:devil:

[Pappy]

The winning team took it's victory lap and for thier efforts recieved a free 3 month pass to the park!

[Pappy]

Nick110 and his brother made the trip to BPG from New York...and this young man can rip it up!

[Pappy]

Once the couch race was over, the staff started getting ready for the pitbike races as riders took back to the track on what turned out to be a beautiful saturday evening.

[Pappy]

Riders from all over began hammering the jumps and I was happy to get all the action!

[Pappy]

The main track is where big air can be found, and that is where most of the faster riders focused thier riding

[Pappy]

There were a ton of nice quads there, each ride tends to bring out faster and faster riders!

[Pappy]

Barry(Hondaracer31) was on his brand new LTR and wasted ZERO time in finding out what it could do!

[Pappy]

Barry airing it out!

[Pappy]

Lehr110 was in attendence, and was tearing the place a new one!

[Pappy]

Randy usually just flat pounds it, but this weekend he seemed like he was having as much fun just goofing off as he was haulin' the mail!

[Pappy]

The new double is not for those afraid of air....

[Pappy]

Other riders were hitting just about everything there was to hit!

[Pappy]

With dusk appraoching, the pitbike races were underway. I honestly do not know whats wrong with Codys engine, more then enough to justify trashing it so we let him run it as it clanked and moaned its way thru the first moto.

[Pappy]

Young Mr. Burke is a great rider and his quad is top notch! We wish we had not had issues, it would have been a bar to bar race!

[Pappy]

I was happy we could atleast give him someone to race with, and I have never seen cody so mad. He even offered to dip into his college fund to buy a new engine:D

[Pappy]

We were actually taking bets on which lap codys engine would grenade on:p

Watching a built 125cc run was awesome. We had met the Burkes earlier this year and they are great folks!

[Pappy]

Cody brought her in without blowing it apart, and my brother went to work trying to patch things up for moto 2

[Pappy]

The anklebiters were lined up and ready to do thier thing. This actually turned out to be one great race to watch!

[Pappy]

To my shock, my youngest son Ryan pulled out the holeshot and was GONE!

[Pappy]

The little red quad wasnt going to settle for 2nd place and gave chase!

[Pappy]

4 year old "Gauge" got tangled with a quad, but once loose he dropped the hammer and caught the leaders!

[Pappy]

Abbey was in pursuit!

[Pappy]

Ryan felt the red quad closing in, and was determined to do his best and stay out front!

[Pappy]

Gauge is an impressive rider, even at 4 years old he can run with riders twice his age!

His dad jesse shouts encouragemnet as Gauge hammers down:macho

[Pappy]

Madison passes Abbey on the last lap.

[Pappy]

The little red quad took the lead, leaving a battle for 2nd, Ryan pulls the position as him and Gauge cross the checkers!

[Pappy]

The second moto Codys quad did a little better, only locking out of 3rd gear twice:p

[Pappy]

With the failing engine doing all it could do, Cody kept as close as he could. He did not get ahead by much, and Cody wants a rematch:D I sure hope the Burke family comes back for some more racing, unfortunatley this was the last race for Cody on it. The stock engine will be reinstalled and it will be Ryans turn to earn his keep on a quad:eek:

[Pappy]

I am happy to report that it pulled itself on the trailer:D

[Pappy]

The 4 lap race pretty much looked like this the entire race. I know the Burkes would have prefered a win with a bar to bar battle as would we, maybe I can con them into borrowing an engine:D

[Pappy]

The pitbikes were ripping it up and these guys have a blast!

[Pappy]

Sunday morning, the sun was shining and the temperature was HOT!

[Pappy]

More members and riders arrived and it looked to be another great day the proving ground.

[Pappy]

Outacontrol (I hope I got that user name correct:p ) was ripping it up on his beautiful Leagers CRF!

[coolguy8769]

do you have the pictures from sunday? or do i need to wait a few minutes? lol i was on the blue yfz with the loud curtis sparks pipe. i had on blue and red gear, i saw you take about 4 or 5 pictures of me,. i had no number plates on but i do have a sticker from baldwin racing on each side of the atv right behind/below the gas tank, and two hinson clutch stickers to in the same spot

[Pappy]

Simply an amazing quad!

[Pappy]

coolguy...I will indeed check for you!

[Pappy]

I liked the quad so much I took as many pics as i could for him:D

[Pappy]

I think he was still faster then me:p

[Pappy]

coolguy, is this you?

[coolguy8769]

YEA!! haha

[Pappy]

Nick110 was a blast to photograph. Smooth and fast but the added style makes it a great shot!

[Pappy]

Randy Lehr was having a ball!

[coolguy8769]

yea that nick was insane! only 16 too... put me to shame haha, but then again i'm 16 too, oo by the way i'm jeff i havn't posted on here in awhile, i stay on yfzcentral alot

[Pappy]

Randys numberplate was too damn chicken to stay with the quad:D

[Pappy]

Its ok Jeff, we wont hold that against you:blah:


Randy showing that Dan is not the only one up to whipping the quad around:cool:

[Pappy]

Randy yelled down for me to get my quad:o I did not want to spoil his day so I kept taking pictures:devil: :D

[Pappy]

The sun and I were about to fight. The clouds would roll in and then the sun would pop back out.

[Pappy]

Randy pitched in

[Pappy]

You could tell who just hit the track and hadnt followed the water truck around:p

[Pappy]

There was enough riders on the track that I am pretty sure I stayed on the track all day

[Pappy]

Mike on his LTR

[250rmike]

pappy i was there on sat but the cdale decided to let the chain got through the clutch slave cylinder. i was the kid that asked for a cig. i didnt have much time to talk as i was trying to get back for a birthday party since the bike let go. i was parked about 4 trailers down from you with the black tahoe. silver cdale with walsh kit on it

[Pappy]

I even snapped a few of the biker dudes:blah:

[Pappy]

I hope everyone got a platefull of the food Breezewood offered up everyone who attended! Abbey sure liked it!

[Pappy]

The line was long, but it was worth it!

[Ripitupfilms]

coolguy i thought that was you.. you should have talked to me bro..:p remeber the Halo days

[Pappy]

track owner Dan Harris getting jiggy with it

[Pappy]

Dan loves to jump with style

[Pappy]

I think it says alot when the owner will come out several times a day to ride with the folks who go to ride at Breezewood!

[Pappy]

Dan working things out!

[tamehart]

atvracer9m (Andrew) popping into the whoops.

[Pappy]

Last one while tamehart posts a few up...I need a break:p

[tamehart]

Andrew getting some AIR

[tamehart]

Andrew railing

[tamehart]

The couch race was a great hit and I had a good time photographing it. I wish I would have got some shots of the people slamming into the hailbails as they looped around the barn.

[tamehart]

Some people came out to spectate and watch the madness

[Ripitupfilms]

coolguy im gloopsta we used to go hard at halo

[tamehart]

Pappy getting into the action of the races

[coolguy8769]

andrew i saw you so many times today i had no idea that you! ahaha thats funny, how'd those whoops treat ya? i didn't try them i loved the table table table line it was easy and smooth so i thought i'd stick with that, i have bad luck with whoops lol, i wasn't airing it out like i ussually do, i think it was cause the last time i went to the proving grounds i wrecked pretty bad, i wanted to hit the good size up hill jump but was comin up sort everytime, i would always end up hittin it after they would water the track (which i thought they did alittle to much today) so i would just spin the tires on the take off and get no speed, o well.... next time

[tamehart]

Pappy and Cody

[Ripitupfilms]

the tracks were nice .. that was my first time there, i liked the downhill table thingy alot.. i crashed my fiddy and bent the forks early in the morning so that sucked.

[tamehart]

He was ordered to stay off a quad for 4-5 weeks.....right....

[tamehart]

the crew did the best they could to keep the dust down.

[tamehart]

the result was some unclean quads before I even got there saturday morning

[tamehart]

Breezewood offered a challenging yet safe course. I was able to conquer all the jumps by the end of the day, but some were intimidating

[tamehart]

Randy Lehr has been riding/ racing his practice bike so far this season. His race quad is just about ready to hit the track.

[tamehart]

Randy looked great out there and is looking forward to making it up the the ATVA National at Unidilla at the end of the month.

[tamehart]

Randy sure has the talent, his ability to rail the corners amazed me

[tamehart]

He also managed to keep an eye on me as he soared through the air

[tamehart]

Jordan (JRP) guiding his Honda through the corner

[tamehart]

JRP sailing

[tamehart]

Flying a little nose high, Jordan got a little crossed up on the landing

[250rmike]

pappy i would have talked alittle more but i was in a rush and it looked like you had your hands full with cody's bike at the time. ill have to stop and talk with you at the next ride

[250rmike]

tamehart were you the one with the broken leg? i saw you a couple time saturday

[tamehart]

The result........trees.....those stupid trees

[tamehart]

250rmike, I was not the one with the broken leg. I was riding a red/black Honda 450r with Quad-Tech graphics

[250rmike]

you were riding on the smaller track with the the table table table? i was on the silver cannondale with 250r plastic with green gear on lookin like a frog

[tamehart]

Mike Salerno came out to dice it up

[tamehart]

I did ride on both tracks...I remember seeing the c-dale.


Salerno also put me to work with a picture I had of him from englishtown. I brought him a little present saturday morning.

thanks pappy, it was my own damn fault, i shouldnt of hit that jump my 1st time out, without riding in 2 or 3 weeks. I didnt feel comfortable at all.:( :o I jus needed some more seat time before i went out. But before i knew it, i was in the tree, with a messed up leg. That stopped my riding day in a heartbeat.

[Pappy]

The new LTR is making a good showing with growing numbers each weekend

[tamehart]

I was willing to shoot as long as they gave me something worthwhile... : )

[tamehart]

Same LTR Pappy just posted ripping a corner

[Pappy]

blasterBTW

[tamehart]

Z400 clearing the corner of any loose dirt

[Pappy]

Everyone was sporting thier atvrider.com stickers and shirts...it was awesome seeing so many folks from the site there!

Nick checking to see if he needs to go faster:p

[tamehart]

[250rmike]

[Pappy]

A few riders chatted with my brother and were convinced I was going to get hit:p


Folks...I wont mess up...you just keep on with what your doing and trust me...I will be fine:D

[05_KFX]

Kenny all in all we had a GREAT time, both Cody and Ryan had sweet motos. Shame we could not do anything to fix the lil hybrid but as soon as he gets some more time on the 300 he will forget about all the troubles we were having.Cant wait to rip it up some more in 2 weeks. By the way tell Bridget THANKS for the awesome grub, those ribs and wangs were on it...

[Pappy]

Not a problem Casey, and thank you for pitching once again and being johnny on the spot!

[tamehart]

Many D6 riders came out to show what they got

[tamehart]

Matt Haines looked good as he pounded the BPG tracks

[Pappy]

And folks, Shane is correct. Please stop by or pull up when its safe and say hello. We try and get shots of everyone, but we try even harder if we know you are with the site!

[tamehart]

Austin Moser jumped to a 450 this weekend. His first time on the 450, Austin wasted no time getting adjusted and taking tips from Randy

[Pappy]

Burke stylin'!

[tamehart]

Austin took some time to work with me on the track, so I will finish out with a bunch of pics of him.

The 450 was obvisouly easy for him to throw around in the air

[Pappy]

Ryan watching the action from BPG's wagon

[tamehart]

I post most of what I have, I havent been in the market to sell many but so many people want them that I will have to do something along the lines of what Shane has soon. It would just make it so much easier. Fir now, if you want a cd full of your pics just pm me your address and a brief description of the quad. I will include as many pics as i have of you for $25. These will be full resolution unedited etc, just like whats posted except without the atvriders.com watermark and they will be full size etc.

Great Pictures Pappy and good riding fella's!!!!

[BlasterBTW]

My girlfriend and I had a great time at Breezewood this weekend! It was very laid back and relaxed, and an all together fun time! The tracks were fun and the facility was pretty cool. Camping, showers, food, and riding!

I had a blast riding with all my buds, can't wait to come out again. Even though I had a small close up encounter with the Breezewood dirt, I had a terrific time. I even got to rip it up with Dan Harris for a few laps!

Thanks for all the great pictures guys!

Bryan

[vet_ltz]

Once again, Good food,good weather,good people,great fun!

[Pappy]

And I am working on the lightscribe formats now, I think it will look sweet to have a personalized disc

[JRP]

hey pappy, did u take any video?

[Pappy]

Nope, we forgot to bring the battery charger:p I think I will invest in a much better unit though, why not have a video clip of the weekends events to go along with the pictures!

Come on Pappy...get the nice digital video camera. Once you get hooked on editing videos, you can take the next step and get them aired on tv...then maybe buy your own station. :D

Sorry I missed out on all the fun this weekend. So far, I have put in a new garage door, cut the grass, got the pool water adjusted properly, gone to the dump, loaded all 3 quads and the riding lawn mower into the trailer. I still have to install a new sliding door in the basement, put up new deck railings that I cut off with a chainsaw 6 years ago, replace the door frames around 3 garage doors, and finish putting in the floor trim in the basement.

Here's video of my 4yr old daughter tearing up a puddle in the parking lot a couple weekends before.

Just shows what you can do with a video even if it's just a puddle.

Pappy,
Great pics, as usual! Thanks for the shirt and stickers, too! I decided to come home today since on my 2nd lap of the day, on the 60 foot downhill, I hit it a gear too high and nose dived. Completely missed the landing, landed on the flat and slammed the bars into my chest. Thank god I had a chest protecter on, as it is I bruised my ribs pretty good! Riders behind me said I was beyond 90 degrees!:eek:

[Pappy]

Damn Barry, glad to hear your ok, bruised but ok:p

We are heading back up tomorrow, we will miss seein ya

[hondaracer31]

Hey Barry, sorry I missed riding this weekend and definitely sorry to hear about your mishap. You weren't out for Father's Day but I started clearing the 65' uphill jump. Dan has been working on me to go for the downhill...but your mishap is exactly my concern. I just have an uneasy feeling about that jump. It is probably because I endo'd on a dirtbike at Budd's.

If you haven't heard (and yes I know I have posted this in a couple other threads)...I am moving to Raleigh/Durham. It is pretty sudden. I changed jobs in my company which requires me to work in either Rockville (a 1.5 hr drive) or move to Durham. At the same time someone showed up at our doorstep with a suitcase full of cash wanting to buy our house. So, we signed a contract immediately and will close by July 25th. We were planning to stay in the area at least another year but you know how that goes...stuff just happens.

So, how was the Suzuki? I am interested in hearing the opinion of someone coming off a tricked out 440ex.

hey barry, i saw u at breezewood, you look real fast out there man.

[hondaracer31]

Jon,
I missed seeing you guy's!

The downhill's not really that bad, if you do it right. I usually roll down to about 15 feet before it in 3rd gear, then pin the throttle. That keeps the frontend from dropping and is about the right speed to clear it. The problem this time was I was in 4th, so the motor didn't have enough rev's, but I had WAY too much speed. I was going to go hit it again today but just riding thru the parking lot was painfull. Next time!!!
By the way, I didn't come off the quad. So I think it could have been worse.

The uphill is FUN isn't it?

It sounds like the move is supposed to happen, what with the buyer and all. You gotta do what ya gotta do. Glad you could sell your house so soon.

The LTR is great! It doesn't have the suspension my 440 has but it is amazingly good for stock. As for the motor, I think the horsepower numbers are about the same but the way it makes it is COMPLETLY different. The 440 is like a tractor, it has TONS of power right off idle and a strong mid range. It will rev high, but doesn't really keep pulling compared to the LTR.
The LTR has no torque (I stalled it about 5 times trying to idle across the parking lot:eek: ) But it accelerates VERY hard! And keeps pulling till it hits the rev limiter, which I only found when I was off the ground, and in trouble.
Sorry for the long post. I'll blame the pain killers for that.:rolleyes:

Damn I missed out. Maybe next time I wont ask my dad the day before the ride if we can go:o

[Pappy]

Jon...it wont be the same with out ya!


Barry, I will try and get some video of that jump tomorrow, it is so cool watching the suspension work!

i will take a look for ya

Barry,

Are you running the CherryBomb and did you open up the stock exhaust or whatever that cheap mod is that gives you 7 hp? It would definitely be an adjustment for me too going to a high revving bike since I am used to torque too. The jump from the 400ex to the 450r with HRC kit was an easy transition. I still think the 400ex would be easier to ride in the woods.

So, what is the engine braking like when you let off the throttle? Is it more like a 2 stroke? I saw a company is coming out with a new type of clutch mechanism that slips in one direction. This will definitely help.

The uphill is sweet. I decided I was going to do it. I was surprised how fast you have to hit it though. Once I decided I was doing it, it still took me 4 tries. I just kept turning around and focusing on that jump until I made it.

Pappy and Kevin took care of my hand blistering problem with the Kevlar glove liners. Those things are amazing.

[hondaracer31]

Jon,
I have the Cherry Bomb, which plugs into the harness, removed the airbox lid and spark arrestor. Now it's like a whole new bike, way more power. The engine braking is pretty good too. I have to use the brakes more, mainly because I'm going faster now.

Speaking of the brakes, they are very strong, dual piston caliper on the front. I've about gone over the bars several times because I'm not used to them yet.
