who's gonna make it to geneseo??? doesnt look like rain!!! lol also, got a group going to brushy ridge(astoria) this saturday,5th. we plan on being there at 9, ridin til about 3 or so. a little practice, play day. come on out if you can. oh..and fyi...i bought a new solid rear rotor for the 400ex. will install this week. have been doing a lot of creek riding,and goin thru "severe duty" pads like crazy!the drilled holes hold sand and wear the pads down like a bench grinder! my buddy's raptor has a solid rear rotor, and his pads last a lot longer. i'll let you know the results.

Man, I got arm pump like no other, which is new to me. Maybe b/c I have not rode for 4 weeks. I'm frustrated, I just don't hope my front suspension is blown. I will be at geneseo too though.:D

had a great time riding brushy sat! rode for about 6 hours.first 5 minutes into ride, i flipped over backwards on a 8 foot ditch trying to jump out of the bottoms, lol after landing in a foot of mud, flipped her off me, and tried it again,,,,,same thing! lol i was a little muddy then.my buddies raptor made it, but he has 2" ext swingarm, keeps that front end down. i would have made it if i just hammered it and hung on, but tryin for no injuries before geneseo. never hurt anything on the 400ex, and not even my pride! lol i was a little crumbly when i started drying tho! also...a solid rear rotor is the way to go!!! a couple creek rides, and all day at brushy, and the pads are holdin up very well. also did the e- brake block off. i think next on the list is a 1 1/2 to 2 " ext swingarm. even on those tall raptors, they make it feel so much more flat climbing a pretty good hill. hope to see everyone at geneseo sunday.

I got the hole shot at FV:D

To bad I took the wussy trail on the first lap, I came up the hill and saw a arrow pointing to the right and I followed it. What was I thinking:o

I'm riding better every race. Going for a top half finish.

yeah I think he asked if 'A" wanted cash or trophys at one time. So cash it is.which isnt to bad considering gas prices.It would be nice to have a bigger A class also more riders =more money.....;)

Sweet video...

Was cool to see me get the holeshot and then blow it in that 1st left hander. I almost went right through the tape, wonder if they would of pentalized me...Probably.

Watts...A class is a paying class there and thier is no trophies for that class. They do however give a trophie for overall, which is normally a A rider.

Taylorville, Non district points race next sunday....
