well i finally got to go to my local MX track saturday (practice),,,this was my first time that i took my EX to the track (i took my Scrambler 400 there several times), and i loved the way it handled in the air, in turns, and around the track,,,it's kinda wierd having the quad for 5 monthes and just now finding out what it will do,,,i really didn't know what to expect on the big jumps, but it felt light and controllable (especially campared to my Scrambler, hehe),,,anybody else remember their first times at the track?,,,later

Yea, I was kinda lost when I was at the race but #12nacs400ex (billo) was there to help me out. I pretty much followed him the first race I think. I kinda prolly acted big and bad cuz I had a souped up R haha. But yea I neevr new I had that side of me really, it's awesome to be literally "on top of the world".

I got a picture of me at a track for about the 4th or 5th time when my machine was fully stock, now that I got shocks on there, I feel like I can jump anything and now I just the rear replaced. Heres me on the 1st summer with the 400ex on about my 4th or 5th ride or around there. The first time I was there, I didn't even know where I was going, lol.

I remember my first time on an MX track, it was an open practice, I was soooo lost and nervous. I was supposed to meet a friend there but he hadnt showed up, so I said what the ****, better get out there. I saw a Blaster so I decided I would take it easy and follow him, well, it only took me about half a lap to relize he was waaaaaaayyyyy to slow:D By the end of the day I was hitting doubles and I was pretty proud of myself

I want to go, but I went to our local track a month or so back to watch and only 2 quads showed up. They had a modded 250r and a piped shee. The piped shee dude almost got lapped. It was sad.

I was there like 2 years ago just trail riding and they closed half of the park and the whole track off for some grand prix. It was pretty kool cuzz i saw quads and stuff like that on the track.
