[AtvMxRider]

Sweet. I love those wheels on yours.

[Black400]

How much are the carbon fib. wheels?

[Nausty]

we sold the old isuzu truck and went with a smaller quad hauler and we gotta test it out today. It can hold 2 quads and a couple dirt bikes along with tires, tools, gear and all the other stuff. Then if we wanna haul more we can just put it in the back of the truck.

[Nausty]

ok, now my fav. Riding pics:D Heres a pic of a jump called the gravity cavity which you hit 4th wide open. Ah its such a blast.

[MojaveKing]

nausty..what is tha 400 set up for XC?? and what is tha Wed site for Sparks..ur exhaust
By the way NICE pictures!!:D

hey nausty what year is u and your dads 400? cuz i want the black seat u guys have that says honda for my 400

[Nausty]

another no footer:rolleyes: I'm to scared to do much else, the jump can get pretty hairy if you hit it in the wrong spot.

[TeamC&GRacer]

sparks site is www.sparksracing.com

sweet bikes

[Nausty]

here you can kinda see the run up, right before this you come out of a berm and do a step down into where the picture starts off and from there on your just holding the throttle pinned in 4th gear trying to hang on.

its set up for mx, really I just got smaller holeshot tires and shocks valved for mx. Other than that I got sparks racing exhaust, ac racing bumper and nerfs, tether KS, tag x-5 bars but the've been bent for months and months, my dad made the skids and I think thats all the mods I got besides the hipers.

The rims were I think 150 a peice I think or somewhere around there. I know I saved a lot of money by going with the quadshop though back when they were the site sponsor.


I think all yellow 400ex's have black honda seats but mine is a 02 and my dads is 03.

Also kinda OT but my bars have been vibrating like crazy lately would my bars vibrate more if the stem was bent because I think it is and I got a crack forming on the top weld and paint is chipping off?

[Narly R]

Hey keep the pics commin!!! For sum reason I love seein pics of you ridden!!!! Nice 400!

[AlaskaSpeed]

Nausty,
You definitely have one of the nicer 400ex's on the site....those wheels really set off the look nicely.....:cool: JIM

nausty u should get some black number backgrounds it would look even better

[Nausty]

thanks guys:D I might have some more pics but those were most of the good ones.

heres a close up of the 400ex, I think for a color scheme where gonna get the frame powdercoated "elka red" and maybe get some black a-arms but that will pry be a long time because I gotta get a new stem, bars and start putting away some cash incase my swingarm, carrier or axle decides to go. Thank god i'm getting a job this summer:D My dad wants me to go with black but I think it will be to much. I'm trying to keep the quad kinda plain looking though, I like seeing something else besides racing graphics and chrome rims all the time.

[D-4our]

Nice pics man, love the rims too:cool:

[Striker49]

Very very nice bike Nausty. If I only had the money. :( Im itchin to hop on a bike with some real horsepower....something above 13hp. :mad:

[CHAUNCY]

Awesome pics nausty. That gravity cravity looks kool.

nice pics nausty.. dont u bottom pretty hard on that one jump? anyways you got soem nice riding area.... lol.. must be nice to have a quad hauler, wish my dad would get one or maybe my dad even get a 400ex..

[QuAdRaCeR244]

sweet pics:)

[Nausty]

no its a soft landing;) seriously. The only bad thing about this place is its so far away from us. We gotta drive 2 hours just to get there pretty much but its got everything. Isn't much fun trail riding or hill climbing with mx tires though:(

[ny300exrider]

sweet pics nausty...i know this has been asked alot but how do you like the sparks pipe..i think im gonna get one for my 300ex later on....sweet quad too

[Nausty]

I like it, it gives just enough power so that you don't need to use 1st gear when taking slow power slides. I like the looks and sound of them too. Still though exhausts don't help much for 400ex's but I thought this made plenty.

[CowsBitePeople]

Where can i get me some rims like those??and how much do they cost....I love them!!....Sweet pics Man :macho

MaTT....

[Nausty]

check out c and d racing, pry around 155 a wheel.

[DEAL]

what kind of shifter is that?
Mines about to crap out on me so I'm lookin for a replacement.

[Glow Plug]

nausty i love your bike it's so simple but looks so awsome :D, your hypers really set off your bike, i love the no graphics, love to watch you ride even though you don't go super bike but it can still satify me for some reason:confused: but any ways awsome pic's hope your dad is happy with his 400ex

[D-4our]

yeah, the no-sticker thing looks cool, it makes it seem like youre more into free-riding and what-not. thumbs up to you

[Rip_Tear]

Looking good Nausty! I wish my dad was still into this stuff. He is still go for a easy trail ride atleast... :D

[Nausty]

thanx for the complements guys:D

freestylexrider- i'm not sure what kinda shifter that is, my dad got it when my shifter went and I never gotta see it in the package.

lol, my dad is about 50yrs old too.:eek: Hes not much into the jumping but I think he just likes to keep up with me and do other stuff like trails and hill climbs. I'm gonna teach him to wheelie.:D

brit220 what did you mean by superbike stuff? Like wheelies and flatground stuff? lol, I did that a little bit but its nothing like I use to be. Its been months since I rode wheelies. Although I can about do a heel clicker wheelie:eek2: I was just messing around and showing off doing a wheelie while sitting on the tank with my feet out and about got my heels clicked. I'm sure I could get it with a lil practice. I'll have to get some pics. I also wanna learn wheelies sitting backwards.:eek:

[crap-banshee32]

nausty do you have any motor work done?

[Nausty]

not really, just exhaust.

[crap-banshee32]

oh ok, cause 4th pinned is fast for my quad!!there is a 80ft double at my local track that i do 3rd pinned!!
looks sweet though!!
how do you like the elka shocks?

[roostin_dale]

sweet pics Nausty! I wunna jump the Gravity Cavity!

[Ex_Rider43]

wow naustu I dont know why but I think you have something my quad dont have. maybe its the rims but its very Nice!!!

very good job on it :eek2:

[stocktires]

very VERY nice lookin quad nausty! Nice ridin pics too! ;)

[Fred55]

Hey Nausty, where do you buy your quads at? Do you guys get them in Dubuque?

[Nausty]

I got the new one at a place called Webers cycle center in Waterloo. It was a 03 for 4900. Also I got my quad a year and a half ago at Garvis Honda in Des Moines for 5300 I think.

I pretty much listed all my mods besides a few little things like head light covers and whatnot.

crap banshee, They blow away the stock ones but I've never really tested many shocks out. I like them a ton though it rides so nice on the rutts and trails, lowers the quad so it handles better and lands a lot softer. The one mistake I made with shocks is having my rear shock rebuilt though, it just couldn't keep up with the fronts performance wise and I was blowing it out all the time and I think I bent the shaft after racing a couple races without any oil in the shock. phew that was a bouncy ride.

Found another pic, I was just hitting it slow in 3rd gear messing around.

[crap-banshee32]

yeah, ive heard alot of good things about elka shocks!!
i have ohlins with rezzis on the front and PEP on the rear, im getting PEP fronts soon. they are ALOT better that the stock shocks!!!
looks like a fun jump though!!

[Glow Plug]

awsome nausty as i have said many times before your qaud is awsome, as soon as i get my 400 :) the elka's will be my first mod for sure :D :D as soon as i get the like 3 k saved up for em lol

[Tainted Glory]

hey what color are your rear hubs? are they stock or aftermarket? BTW the black rims looks sick. how much they run ya for all four?

[Steve-o 400EX]

Lookin good Nausty!!:cool: The Gravity Cavity looks a bit scary, it looks like ya gotta do a hillclimb to go off it.:blah

[Nausty]

Yeah I hope I can go, my dad said we were going today because he wanted to stay at home and earlier today he said we would go tomarrow but i'm not positive he'll keep his word. I hope I can though, I really wanna try a no foot can tomarrow if i'm feeling it. I've been riding a lot lately and I think I can do it. I can't wait.

[Sparks425Ex]

Looks Great Man. I love the Plain/no stickers look. THe rims are deff trick...

Great Job....

[Glow Plug]

hey nausty how is your dad's 400 running ? does he like it?

[cool 300ex]

Cool looks good.I wish my dad would buy him self a 400ex.But no he has to stay with the 4x4 quads.O well guess most of the older people like them better.:rolleyes:

[Nausty]

Well I just got back from bussey again. Didn't get to great of pictures and most of them were taking in the beginning of the day before I was able to double into the run up.

Heres a picture of the down hill double which is about a 4th gear pinned jump into the downhill where you have to hold it pinned up the hill and take off. Phew its scarey.

[Nausty]

I was trying to turn down the quad as far as I could in this pic. I wounder if thats as low as I got it or if the pic was just taken at the wrong time:huh But it felt awsome when I did it right and scary. In this pic I wasn't that high though because I wasn't able to double into the pit when my dad was taking pics.

[Nausty]

like I said, no good pics really. I was doing some pretty cool stuff today I just didn't get much of it on camera. But i'd figure a lot of you guys would like looking at some pics.

[nick23]

the top one is my tunrdown.....it is hard on this jump though cuz the gap is 80feet

[trueblue450]

you should run practice at indianola this thursday nausty. I couldnt make it to bussey last weekend, but it looked like it was nice out there. Well have to ride sometime

[Nausty]

I can't, My dad isn't gonna be home tell friday night.:( I'll pry be at Joe's this weekend cuz my dad is bringing a skid loader down to work on the track with him.

[Nausty]

Yeah I guess I was trying to do a version of mad mikes miracle whip on a quad. I done a lot better turn downs than that though.

Heres a pic of a regular turndown on a 75+ft downhill jump.

[Glow Plug]

awsome nausty :)

[Steve-o 400EX]

Awesome pics nausty.

[Nausty]

Thanks guys:)

[Nausty]

I'm bored.

Heres the run up, all accelleration out of the berm to hit the first downhill jump.

[Nausty]

I was trying to keep up with this guy:rolleyes: Man that guy was good.

[Nausty]

yes thats heaven:D

[Nausty]

lol, pretty crazy for a blaster eh?

[Steve-o 400EX]

Man those sandpits look awesome, i'd love hittin them. Is that ur dads 400 in the background of the one with the blaster??

[Nausty]

yup, mine was right behind it but the picture cut it off.

[Steve-o 400EX]

I really like ur machine. The black wheels look really hot. Do you have any motor work done??

[Nausty]

nope, not really. Other than exhaust and filter:huh

[Steve-o 400EX]

wow. How many feet are you jumpin on some of those??

I'm about to do a 416 on mine. I should do shocks too but that will have to wait till summer.

[Nausty]

We measured a long time ago how far I was going on the gravity cavity. I think we measured it to around 75 to where I was landing. I don't remember for sure cuz it was a while ago. I've jumped lots of jumps that distance. lol, I hope I don't snap a axle on a jump that big:o I wish we had more money though because right now i'm riding on a bent stem and bent bars so thats gonna cost a lot of $$$. We're gonna go with the oversized bars and a aftermarket houser stem. Then after that i'm pry gonna be needing a swingarm:o. lol, I'd really like to start widening out my machine or beefing up the motor this year but it doesn't sound to promising.:(

I'm gonna go riding this weekend again and i'll pry get some pics of me jumping that big downhill double again. I'm gonna start to relearn regular can cans and heel clickers again and i'll get some pics if i'm pullen em' off.

I'd get shocks before motor work so you can put the power you got to the ground and use it for all its worth.

I'm gonna be riding at a track with a 90ft triple but last time I was there it was pretty run down and the landing's were all messed up. I still havn't cleared this one yet but i've came close a ton of times doing test run ups and casing the last landing. Man I wanna hit it.

lol, i'm really bored if you can't tell:scary:

[Steve-o 400EX]

sweet. Good luck with it man. The biggest gap i've accomplished is 25 feet.:rolleyes:

[Glow Plug]

lol i wish i could hit 25 feet lol :(

[roostin_dale]

biggest gap i've hit is prolly a 50-60 footer...im working up some balls to go bigger!...im a chicken

[Black400]

Im 14 (15 in april) and the largest i have hit was 65ft. Im getting pix hopefully this weekend of a 70ft step up im in the process of building:blah cant wait till i finish it:D :devil

I definetly need to work on some tricks i only know the basic No-hander landers and no-footers.....etc

Nausty have any tips on how to do a heelclicker?

That looks fun as hell, got anymore pics up there or racing? Looks like some of the pits we got up here

[trueblue450]

Nevermind bout indianola. I believe its only dirt bikes. Damn it. I went to bluff tonight and that gravity cavity track got some major rebuilds. I dont like what they did to the double before the cavity. Its hard to clear that thing. I don't know what they were thinkin. Then they filled in that huge gap ... I can acually clear that jump now. I just dont like all the flat lands on that thing. The 300's bout ready to snap in half. :D.. Oh well you headin to joes this weekend. I'll see whats goin on then. Sound like it should be a good time. Gonna step up and clear that trip??

I stil don't have them down pat mostly because I never have any good jumps but the way I did em' last fall was I just worked up my confidence a little by doing no footers and bringing my feet out in front of me and then as my confindence rose I kept bring them higher and higher until they could touch my wrists on the bars and after that you need to work on bring your but up and forward. I just try to imagine i'm trying to jump onto the bars and it seemed to work out ok. I can also do regular can can's and pry no foot can's if I would nut up and do em' but i'm usually stuck doing em' on 70ft+ft jumps cuz the smaller ones get rutted out.

lol, just about all day I didn't do hardly anything but jump the gravity cavity. lol, at first I hated what they did to the gravity cavity but now I kinda like it now that I can do it because you can land going so much faster:D Plus you can't see where your gonna land before you take off and it just feels awsome leaving the face 4th gear almost pinned and hitting the rear brake bringing down the front end in the air right after leaving the lip. I have a blast on the jump now :D.

I check out the face of the 90ft triple last weekend and it is tore all up and the landing is also pretty messed up too. I dunno if I could even double it anymore. Joe has done some work to the track like the 80ft downhill double where he fixed the face and also another downhill double and a few other things. I'll pry just try to learn some tricks on the one downhill double.

[Glow Plug]

damn you nausty your making me want to go riding :grr i would but it's like -12 theres snow on the ground and my brakes are frozen :mad:

[Glow Plug]

i have got to stop coming on here :grr no i have to go out side and do some chores :( i still have my winter stuff out it's freeking april it shouldn't be snowing :mad:

[Nausty]

downhill double, the only jump that has ever scared me in the past 4 years+. First time I hit it I thought I was gonna crash but I just did it anyways. You can't even see where your gonna land until your preloading off the face. This pic does not do it justice. I've never seen another quad do it the entire weekend I was there.

[Nausty]

new jump in place of the ol' 90' triple. Talk about a lot of dirt:eek2: I think joe is moving it back a lot farther so we gotta hit it faster. I also did a heel clicker over it but we only got pics in the beginning of the day. Also I seen a banshee crash pretty bad on this jump and went into a bad endo in the air.

[Nausty]

most of these jumps are pretty small because were were hitting it in differant rutts trying to pack it even and just trying to get use to it. I think it would be awsome if we could move the take off way back for some huge air. I'm gonna hit this triple next time i'm there most likely, I don't think I can clear the hole thing but if I crash I crash.:ermm:

god that thing looks huge :eek2:

[Nausty]

Honestly that jump is super easy, I'm not even kidding. IT was the first time I hit a ramp that wasn't all rutted up and had a lot of pop and it was nice and gradual:D Its like the quad practically drove itself.

The bad thing is that we're changing it but its pry for the better. I'd like to see it as a Seth ramp w/ that huge landing pad and you could just fill in where the take off is as a saftey and have one huge double. Oh i'm drooling thinking about it.

[Nausty]

asdf

[Steve-o 400EX]

Looks awesome Nausty. Mybe i'll start jumpin like that this summer. Just a little too big for me right now.:eek:

[Rip_Tear]

Awsome pics Nausty! I went over my track design today, and I think I have finally decided what it is going to look like. Now I just have to get out there with one of the skidsteers!

[Nausty]

thanks, good luck rip tear.

[trueblue450]

Joes is looking good.

I'm gonna have to stop by. It looks like the new triple is massive. I remember them building it the last time I was out there. Its basically a flat land isn't it?

[swap]

where the hell in iowa are you, that place looks sweet to ride at?

[Nausty]

the last pictures were from a track by newton and the other pictures were at bussey.

[swap]

is it an open to public track or is it private?
and what towns are near by?
thanks

[Sporttrax400ex]

Sweet pics nausty i would love to ride there sometime that looks killer.

[250EXking]

i wish i had a 400ex im stuck with a 250ex

I'm guessing New London is in Iowa? I've never heard of it? I'm not exactly sure where Bussey is because my dad drives most of the time and I don't always pay attention on how to get to places unless its close. The newton track is actually by a town called lambs grove. I don't know what else to say besides its pry 45 min from Des Moines.

Look for 300exman's thread on "Bussey Pics" or something like that in the Trail Tales forum and I think he gives directions to the place. Like I said i'm not very sure where some of these places are other than what roads I take from my house.

300exman you were right, it was Winterset that was having practice and i'm most likely gonna be at Joes in the morning and Winterset at night. Friday I might be at Joes and Saturday i'll be racing at CR. Sunday i'm partying:D lol, I love spring break.

lol, more pics soon if you guys wanna see em????

lol, my dad is already wanting to do stuff to the 400ex like take off stickers, cut fenders, and get a exhaust and bars. He got a new bumper last weekend. He wants me to switch my good parts onto the new machine but I think if I did that i'd wanna baby it to much and i'd feel worse if I crashed and tore it up.

[swap]

thanks nausty,
new london is in minnesota, but i was wondering where in iowa it is. it looks like it could be worth the drive

[Glow Plug]

:grr i really have to go on a road trip some time :grr

[Nausty]

heres a pic from today at Winterset practice. I was the only quad there and had to ride w/ the bikes but it was alright. Didn't get any good pics but I wish we could of got one of me sideways in the corners. lol, I think I really put those beadlocks to use today. Anyone going to CR saturday?

[250EXking]

nice:)
