    Joe Byrd's Riding school

    Well after spending lots of money on your quad its about time you spent some on yourself. So be and Kilabanshee(Brent) decided to head down to Joe's house for his school. It was on the 15th and 16th this month. It was a good 17 hour drive but it was worth it. In the class we learned alot of things to practice and get better. In just 2 days i took 8 sec off my lap time. He has a great set up, a wonderful track, watering system, and other things. Here are a few pictures from the trip. If you have and questions just post them.

    When rolling onto his driveway you know who lives there.


    The first thing we did when we got there was roll our quads into his shop for a meet and greet.


    Then they look over your quad and you get push ups if anything is wrong.


    Then we had a quick stretch to get ready to ride.


    Heres a picture of the whole class.


    Theses are some of the things we learned.
    How to take sweepers

    Woops


    holeshots( heres Byrd showing us how the pros do it)


    Passing.

    Alex when you're posting pictures dont just post the link at the top of the picture. Right click properties and copy past the link there. It's different and should allow the pictures to be viewed rather then opened...

    Yeah I was the tall kid on the red ecatv 450r. My friend is alittle shorter and has both the black and red ecatv 450r's. I liked it alot! I honestly think I came into that school faster. The only reason I don't feel I left faster is because I really didn't have time to practice the techniques, breaking points ect. I just didn't feel 100% comfortable locking up my front breaks like that. I'm sure over time I'll get better and better. I really wish he would have taken ous over the larger jumps! I wanted to hit that first tripple real bad! I'm really not used to that style of track. Most of the jumps were pretty close together and didn't have much for landings. Some were perfect others were not... It was just hard for me to adapt to his track for some reason...

    later,

    Brent
