The other night was a race and what a race it was....
I got there seeing my good friend jay....parked next to him his bike was already out....he said man you should see the team of canondales here...So we walked over and under a big arse tent was 13 highly modded dales...vary vary sweet quads....then one of the riders came up and asked what we rode we told him EX's and he snickerd a bit.....and he just said good luck you'll need it....so me and jay looked at each other and after that we spent half the day assembling some of the best EX riders we knew in the district 11 area....about 4 oclock they started rollin in with the 440's 416's 425's ect. there were 12 of us we put up our make shift tent....and sat the ex's up under them...we knew this race was gonna be ex vs dales...the race started with 2 dales in front then jay and me...we hit the first turn when I seen jay go nutts he hit the berm ran up on the side of the dale and blow them out of the water...those 3 battled and I battled 2 dales with my friends helping....we went at this 60 footer and I went up with 2 dales behind me I felt on tire rub mine in air....It was on and off the whole night I would drop back and battle up but jay took first place every race we ran 12 lap motos 4 motos...I got 4th 2 dales got 3rd and 2nd and jay got first....and when we looked at the results the ex's avraged out to be better than the dales.....weather it be by rider and quad the exriders won....

Yeah man if you race enough and people notice you like balwin noticed me they will sponsor you.They want me to run 4 stoke most of the time and pro every now and then,then they want to build me up to race national level.they seen me at kenworthys and cocr not to far behind ben jackson in pro class,They bought me a full sub frame when I bent mine.But you have to get an account and A tax id its pretty odd set up but what ever works

Good job! We have to remind ourselves, the 400ex is 5 years old! (99, 00, 01, 02, 03) Considering it hasn't been changed, it still whoops butt! and its not liquid cooled!
