Breezewood Proving Grounds-Labor Day Weekend

[Pappy]

I think this is the third year that rain has had an impact on poor Dan:p What was left of the tropical depression dumped 20 hours of rain on the track on thursday and man was the place a mess!

Dan did everything he could to get the tracks rideable, and by 11am, the Intermediate Track was seeing some action

[Pappy]

The majority of the expert track was unrideable as the sun came in and out but couldnt dry the track fast enough. The ski slope jump was open and riders had a ball doing some impromtu freestyle over it

For me ...well I just wasnt having any fun:p If I had attempted to get into areas for better lighting or angles, they would have had to pull me out:eek2:

[Pappy]

The new step up looked like it was pretty easy and smooth at the top

If you tried making it all the way around the track, you were looking at getting muddy:p

I wont be able to post many more tonight, I had both of the cards that I took with me filled with 2 other photoshoots and I am slow at sorting these things:p If anyone else has some pics..post away! Id also like some updates on the race from tonight!

Sunday and monday should be some seriously good track conditions as dans gets them whipped back in shape!

[wvspeedfreak]

Hey Kenny,we just got home from the race.Austin won his first moto and finished 3rd in his second moto.He had a blast.

It was nice talking to you and Cody today.

[Pappy]

Hey thats awesome!! You will have to fill me in on how it all went down, tell him we are all proud of him!

[ltr450rider21]

dammit pappy!!!!

I must have gone to every event since the last time you were at bpg, and of all times i got a race and you go to breezewood!!

Hopefully you'll be up sometime before the end of the year, i love your pictures.

[Pappy]

Hey I appreciate it LTR21

We would have stayed longer and even gone back today but Cody was plum wore out. That was his first real riding since he broke his leg and he was just out of energy after doing so many laps. His hands look like one big blister, but he is happy as ever to be back!!!

We plan on going up a few evenings each week to get him back in shape and dialed in on the 450. If you let me know what evenings would be good for you, I would be happy to do a shoot with you while Cody does laps!

[flyboy62]

i went 1-1 in my class. i had like a half a track lead :D
my bro took some pics. on saturday. while the other tracks were alittle muddy i rode the 250.

[flyboy62]

whip:D

[flyboy62]

another whip

[flyboy62]

i was looking at my friend

[flyboy62]

very nice pic. after a few tries. then he landed on my wrist.:ermm:

[flyboy62]

this was the start of the first moto. im in the red gear. i have a videos of it but i dont know how to get it off my brothers camera. i will post it up soon

[d3ktrix]

Thanks for the pix pappy, nice as always.

The tracks were perfect Sunday, I was on the upper track most of the day. I think that was the most fun I ever had on a quad.
I'm so sore I can hardly make it up and down the stairs :P

[sunco]

Great job Flyboy !!! Anyone know the lenght of the triple in front of the bleachers? I did it for the 1st time - Yeah for me. I know you guys can all do it in your sleep :o . OK so how many of you are 47. :eek2: Well thats great - stay as young as you can for as long as you can.

Congrats on the bleacher jump Sunco! Not bad for a 47 year old:devil: :blah: I feel like I'm 60 years old today after riding the intermediate track yesterday. Damn braking bumps made my arms feel like noodles.

Thanks Barry for getting me unstuck in the deep mud!

[sunco]

Thanx Les - not sure that we've meet. I'll make it a point to say hello. We'll be back for October Fest. You ride a red 450? My quad is set up for the trails. I just tighten the shocks & have at it. Those breaking bumps worked on me to. Enjoy your week. Kids in NJ start school today. I guess they needed yesterday off to relax - thats why I unload everything myself from the toyhauler :( but as they say its all good :) I always enjoy my time at BPG - even if it rains. Les did you go the the fire & watch them play darts on there feet? I watched but passed on playing. Funny though - its always funny when its someone else :devil: Flyboy is my son - the kids are always getting better each time. Get better at what you do and/or try a new jump & practice , practice , practice.

That would be so awesome pappy! I won't be at BPG for a while, I am swarmed with races for the next month and a half for points! The last race is like Oct 14th or something. I should be out at BPG around then. And for sure in November ill be there for my bday so Ill let you know the next time I go up! Hope to meet you, Cody and the rest of the family soon!

Had a great time on Sunday riding. Track was in great condition and i like the new step-up but im not liking some of the other changes that were made to the track. I plan on going again in 2 weeks.

Sunco I don't think we've ever met but I know Flyboy and Rich from the past events. I always looks forward to seeing those guys on the holiday rides. Yeah I've got the red 450R (houser all around). I missed the late night festivities. I could only make it up for the day on Sunday. I'll look out for you next at Octoberfest. Have a good one and we'll see you soon.

[sunco]

After talking w/ the wife I think we had a quick conversation at the bleachers some time back but not knowing your name. I look forward to talking w/ ya & returning to BPG. I'd love to put some goodie's on our stuff , but you know how it goes - just be happy w/ what you got. Those envelopes keep showing up & I keep sending em back out. Can't figure out why they keep showing back up month after month. :confused:

[flyboy62]

where is this new step-up? what other changes are there, and when was the last time you were there dude?

[flyboy62]

yea i dont really like them rollers in the middle of the corners

Josh,

The new step-up is where the uphill triple was. Honestly, I would call it a step-up double...you can come up short but it definitely gives you a jolt. I was coming up 4' short and snapped a bolt in my Flexxbars. Ironically, I snapped the other one the previous day on the Intermediate track. It is smoother than ever though if you land where you supposed to land.

/Jon

[hondaracer31]

Personally I don't like anything on the Expert track except for the ski jump, the Rythem track is great just the way it is. I kinda like the rollers in the turns, makes the inside and outside lines more even. Just my 2 cents.
As usual Dan did a Fantastic job of getting the tracks in great shape after the mud!

I'm the total opposite, I loved the entire expert track but didn't have much fun on the intermediate.
Though the intermediate track improved my scrubbing & seat bunching skills :P

And yeah when I got there on saturday and saw the mudfest I was like well this trip was a waste :P
But he got it going pretty fast and sunday was great.
Now I need to find someone to go next week with me :P

I'm sure it has a lot to do with age. 2 years ago I would have loved the expert track but since turning 40(and being flown out of BPG) I don't like the really steep jumps anymore.

[quad2xtreme]

I was really enjoying the expert track. I started hitting the flag jump again plus the uphill step-up double. Hitting the jumps definitely increases the fun factor. I am ready for the old setup jump to get an upgrade though. It feels about 4-6 feet shorter. When I was there, Dan put a new lip on the dining hall tabletop too so it was a perfect takeoff.

The rhythm track has always been my favorite. Although it doesn't have the same "pucker up" factor as the expert track, it is just a blast to either fly around on or just cruise and enjoy the jumps. Although the bleacher triple gets the attention, it actually isn't the most difficult jump there. The inside double before the stepup actually has the most "pucker up" factor. There is definitely a lower risk in getting hurt on this track...right Barry? :eek2: :devil:

[sunco]

No one has mentioned the whoops on the rythem track. Dan says there hard to make. They came out nice - thats good practice.

[d3ktrix]

I doubled through those whoops once in like 2nd gear. I wouldn't want to try and skim them on a quad, they have some steep lips :P

[quad2xtreme]

I am now doubling through a set of whoops at NCMP in 4th gear. You could never skim them either. There must be a difference between the two styles of whoops. I used to call the ones at NCMP a rhythm section as bikes and quads double through them and I've never seen anyone triple through them. When I watch the pro bike guys on television, they just seem to bounce through like a pogo stick never seeming to care where they land as they go through. I used to run the waverunner in the Chesapeake Bay this way...just all throttle just flying across the tops of the wave and never trying to time anything. You were going so fast you would rarely fall into the bottom of the wave. It hurt like he!! when you did though but nothing as bad as hitting the ground. I can see doing that on a bike or waverunner as there is really only one narrow path you are following. On a quad though, you can get twisted up very quickly if the front and rear tires aren't going off the peaks at the same time.

[d3ktrix]

All the tracks around here and when ever I trail/pit ride you can just plow through the whoops and skim the tops.
But the ones at BPG on the intermediate track looked a lil sharp :P
I'm sure it could be done if u had the balls, but they looked sketchy to me.

[flyboy62]

yea when we ride on the tracks around here you can skim them easily

i just double them, very smooth but i do agree that you would have a hard time skimming them...........im sure paul or randy would have no problem with that:D

d3ktrix whats your name/number whatever, just trying to put a face to a name.


jon. how are you snapping bolts in you bars. dude you gotta start clearing them jumps(LANDING ON THE DOWN SIDE:devil: ) or just do yourself a favor and buy a ltr j/k

[quad2xtreme]

Originally posted by jherbie28

jon, how are you snapping bolts in your bars.

3 years of fatigue is all I can figure. You don't put any pressure on the bolts from coming up short.

i dont remember any whoops ?

[hondaracer31]

On the rythem track 2 corners after the connector, to the right of the tabletop.

I'm on the orange bike in the pictures pappy posted on the first page of this thread.

[08mxkfx]

yeah i dont think its possible to skim the whoops at breezewood, i tried almost hit the tree lol but there easy to double and smooth but definitely not faster then the table.

How is it Barry rides an LTR and is HONDARACER?

[hondaracer31]

Because when I raced I ran a HEAVILY modified 400EX.

Ok - does this mean you'll never go back to red?

[jherbie28]

not now:devil:

[jherbie28]

not now:devil:

[hondaracer31]

Not really, but at 40 years old, I'm pretty sure the LTR is the last sport quad I'm gonna buy. The next thing will probably be a side by side.

[sunco]

OK boys, I go do the family thing, I'm be chased out of here. Hopefully I can get back to BPG before the October fest.

Barry I checked - snowshoe WV is like almost 8 hours from Jersey - think I'll take a 4 hour ride to Unadilla NY instead. Altought I asked Zach (FLYBOY62) & he said he'd rather ride at BPG then watch the GNCC.

[hondaracer31]

With 200 acres and a construction company to run I think a side by side would be great.

That is the plan. Connie put in to get that weekend off. We will probably hit Rock Run on Friday, be at Barry's on Saturday and Sunday, back to Rock Run or Mountain Ridge ATV trails on Monday, then head back home Monday evening.

I pre-test jumps by getting a feel for the take-off which is why I never hit some doubles. I am not experienced enough really to know whether I will go far enough or too far. I snapped a footpeg bolt on the 400ex and it is only used for trail riding. Of course, it is a 2000. I guess any metal will eventually fatigue and break.

The only side by side I'll be run is next to Flyboy:D . Nice ride if you can get it. I didn't know u are in construction - next time I see ya , we can trade stories. Have a great week everyone.

[dan harris]

Just got a chance to get on line! Great pics pappy - I know you had to struggle for those shots on Saturday. The mud was pretty Deep! The pic of two quads back to back on the ski jump is INCREDIBLE !! Looks like one big quad. Flyboy great pics and video - also awesome job on your race, Congrats to your dad for clearing the tripple on the intermediate track. (don't tell him I'm gonna make it bigger this week)

Barry - not sure why you don't like anything on the big track except the Ski jump. Thats the hardest jump at the park. What do you mean you don't like the big limp jumps since being flown out.??? Didn't you get flown out of here from the intermediate track - on a jump that has NO lip??? I would think you would prefer the bigger air jumps - you always look good on them when I see you going big.

The whoops need some work, I built them to be doubled through - but they are too close and too easy. Not sure anyone could skim through them - I know I can't. I plan to make them less peaky and easier to skim through. Then I'm gonna put a set in that you need to double through - they'll be next to the water jump on the int. track. The line there now is too easy and fast.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the weekend, and to all the kids who signed up and raced on the Kids Track. It was a great weekend for the park and I look forward to having everyone back out before the year is over.

[dan harris]

Amanda just reminded me that I have some pics to post from the weekend.

These guys came in on Thursday and didn't let the mud stop them from riding all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday!!

You're right Dan. Guess I just need to nut up and start hitting the big jumps again. I think the real problem is not being able to ride more than once a month and not racing at all anymore.

Maybe next year.....

I still miss that quad. Wish I had kept it.:(

[dan harris]

Barry, I'm sure if you get back on a HONDA those jumps won't seem so big. All our best riders are on HONDA's!!

[quad2xtreme]

Dan is right. That LTR let you down on that double...your only chance on wiping out on the Honda would have been overshooting it... :eek2:

The rain cleared up and I was able to put the new section in I wanted. Its 3 sets of small doubles next to the water jump on the intermediate track. They don't show up too well in pics.

[dan harris]

This pic is a little better.

[dan harris]

I know those pic's suck. You'll have to come out to see them. Here are some track pic's I took this past Sunday.

FALL FEST 2008: October 10th, 11th, and 12th. This is our final "shin dig" of the year. Its a great time to Camp and Ride. We have a big party in the barn on Saturday Night with music and snacks. Sunday we have a free cook out and riding games for kids and adults.

This year we'll also be playing our new DART GAME! (see previous pics).

THIS WEEKEND THE 13TH TRACKS WILL BE IN AWESOME SHAPE!!! Come check out the most recent changes.

well come on man, id like to see austin rippin it up:devil:

[Les Davis]

guys me and my buddy Paul were at Breezewood today and Dan has reworked the intermediate track and there are some sweet changes. Just about everything from the connector table to the bleacher jump was reworked or relipped. There are some new doubles added by the water jump option line and some rollers after the connector. All in all, everything was a nice change to the track. Expect big air on the all the jumps leading up to the bleacher jump. All the lips were made bigger....gotta allot of pop now:D Better do a courtesy lap before giving it h*ll on that track.

Big thanks to Dan for letting us take advantage of a gorgeous day and get in some awesome riding. Had the whole place to ourselves and both tracks were groomed just for us:devil: :blah: :D If the weather holds out this week, this weekend should be some of the best track conditions I've seen there this year!

[jesseweaver]

anyone got any good detail on the weather report? im planning on going sunday if i get my liscense tomorrow. i got the OK from my dad to take the truck:D

[dan harris]

Hey Les, good having you and Paul out yesterday. You were bombing all the big jumps on the Advanced track while I worked on the intermediate. Was hoping to see some of those cool shots of you whipping it over the connector water jump.

Glad you liked the changes on the intermediate track. You guys looked good out there killing it. Hopefully I'll have my quad back together this weekend and will be out there.

The weather forecast calls for a chance of passing showers on Friday and Saturday. I'm gonna back blade the tracks today so if we get any rain it will just roll right off the tracks.

I expect AWESOME TRACK CONDITIONS this weekend.

The tracks were incredible! everyone, make sure you get to Breezewood soon! dan put in some hard work on the tracks and they are great! the lips of the jumps have been smoothed out and he made some cool minor changes on the tracks. i can't wait to make it back up there! here are a few pics...

Great Pics Paul. Nice having you guys out for the day. Thanks for testing out the new lips for me. You guys had NO problem airing it out.


Tracks should be in great shape this weekend no matter what the weather does. They are draining great and ready to ride.

so it looks on your first pic that the connector jump is no longer a water jump? Is the distance the same? Any other changes?

That pic was taken from the other track and the elevation makes the jump look like there is no gap. All the pictures above with the water are the connector water jump on the advanced track. The distance is still the same as before. Dan was working on the advanced track when we left and was talking about making some minor changes to that track. There are many changes to the intermediate track that were made this week. Some nice changes except for the 3 small doubles that run next to the small water jump. They ate me up this week. I'm glad Dan removed some small pine trees in that area because I would have got intimate with them.

great dan ill see you then
