Well we got there and it was a mudhole, and like Tom said, the owner lied about it, i would've left around 9 if i knew it was that bad, we didn't start riding till around 1 o'clock and stayed till about 6. Three guys left right away. Patrick bent his axle, but we're gonna take it apart this week i believe, and he broke a break line. On one of the smaller 45' tables, i figured 3rd pinned would be enough, i came up about 4 feet short, totally bottomed out so bad that my number plate broke off, and almost totally ate it. But before we went riding, the Iman family was very very generous, and brought us food, drinks, and even satelite t.v. lol. Well i havn't had this much fun in a while. We had a good group, here's some pics of me, and my buddy scott on his crf 250f. I cleared the big step up as far as the A class dirtbikers did only once, i didn't have enough torque to get that 3 more mph's to clear it perfect like i did my last run. The step up is probably 60 feet, but if you hit it right, it really launches you. The table top is probably 90 feet, maybe bigger, cause i know home-1st base is 90', and this table top seemed the same size or maybe even longer. (not bad for stock susp. huh?)

Well i had a great time, thanks again iman family, and this was my biggest jump so far, and they're fun as H3ll.

And my friend evan ran into me, before the day even started on his ktm, that thing was just bad luck, he didn't tie it down right, and the tire was 1/4 the way off the back of the trailer, and it fell off on a bump, and burned a flat spot on the way home, not such a good day for him lol.


pics: and video: (thanks to patrick for the photography, and quadatics wife will post pics of everyone and videos :), i'm on the yfz and scotts on the crf

and for everyone wondering, the table was 4th pinned, and to hit the step up perf. to land half way down the down hill, in 4th you have to preload the $hit outta the susp. , or 5th and preload a lil, but you have to have more than an exhaust and 18 inch tires to get up it 5th, i tried 5th pinned, but 4th pinned was much higher rpms, and seemed to work better.

Only about 5 bikes hit the table, so i had a pretty nice crowd when i was hitting everything on my quad :0, too bad patricks bike broke, he woulda been right there jumping with me.

Wildcat Creek MX is about ten minutes from my house and I have been out there quite a few times. Pretty nice local track if you ask me. It was started by the Knop brothers and one of their friends (who I believe were in their early 20's when they first opened the track). It's been around for a few years now and every year they make it a little better.

I was at a track n did this 75' double 4th pinned. The guys that worked there walked by the jump n cheered me on. No quad had ever done it. There was some bikes there that i didnt think were too fond of me cuz i was on a quad. But they all walked over n watched me do the double they werent doing. I whipped it real good n looked over at them. ;)

I love showing them quads can jump too!

yeah, that's awsome, here's what a guy on chitownracing said lol, they're all a bunch of chit talkers on there, i owned each of them

him: ive practiced at wild cat creek before, fun track.
the sad thing is, that i could do that tabletop on my scrambler...lol

do the downhill triple going into the back section and then talk about how fast ya are...lol

me: lol, that's quite a big jump for a scrambler lol, and i would've tried the downhill tripple, but it was just so wet that it didn't really dry up in time back there

him: i dont ride there on a scrambler dumb @$$, im just saying i could do that tabletop you have a pic of you jumping on my scrambler. its not a hard jump at all. that downhill triple on the otherhand is wide open 4th gear on a 250f outta the corner.

me: lol, you f**king pr*ck, you think you'd jump it on a scrambler, come out there next wknd and bring it, since your talking so much sh8tt, bring your quad, and i'll race you, and that table tops 4th pinned, quit talking sh8t

HIM: hey dumba@$$, 4th pinned on your piece versus a bike is a big difference. i dont race couches, i race bikes.

me: lol, ahahha, my buddy was there on his crf 250, and hit it 4th pinned also, u keep running your mouth, seems that's what people like to do on this site, and i was serious, you bring your scrambler next weekend, and i'll show up. I don't say i'll jump it , and then not jump it, so you f8cking bring your scrambler next wknd to wild cat, or you shut your f8cking mouth.

Ohh, and it's proven, quads beat you up more, and are more dangerous.

and now the kid hasn't said jack back, those people make me so mad, sorry about the language

Hahaha! If a yfz is 4th pinned the whole way to that tabletop theres no way a scrambler could make it.

i love how dirt bike riders ride like a 250ex and then make opinions about quads.
