    Those are all the pictures I have worth posting, had a great time :applause:

    Thanks to everyone involved!!! :thumbsup:

    I'm not terribly sure how many showed up to the event (50? 70?), but what surprised me most was the number of non-Husqvarna riders who would ride in, test ride a few bikes, then go back to their own camp elsewhere. Based on the looks on their faces I've got a hunch there will be several new Husqvarna riders in the future. :)

    My first post! I was the beginner rider hanging onto Wallybean's coattails following in his substantial dust! It was a pleasure to meet everyone in Bend. A great group of people all having fun! This is not something either Walt, or I, am used too! We both work at golf courses. Golfers are not happy people. I look forward to another get-together where I can get more lessons from Walt, meet many of you again, and of course, drink beer! Thank you to everyone especially Chris, Bill, Bryon, Dean and Tammy. Tammy, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I wish you a speedy recovery. And thanks to Wallybean for leading me astray!

    Had a great time, just wish our camp selection was a bit better... We were only a minute away but it might as well have been a month. The riding was stupid fast as is standard for China hat, the throttle stop on the 125 was put to the test. Really enjoyed the 125 out there, just a really fun platform.

    Spotted Woodschick out and about...

    And I am guessing this is Eric

    My wife got to ride China hat for the first time and loved it.

    Shane practicing the Shane Watts training...

    He had to switch to my 125 after the FMF pipe broke on his.

    Even stopped to smell the roses, so to speak...

    The reason we were camped away from the main camp...

    And a quick video of some trail on the 125...

    Thanks Kevin. Had a great time! You put Walt to the test, so you are my hero! With regard to keeping Walt in line, I am completely unqualified for that task. And the kickstand is now out of warranty he tells me! Pull over, pull over now !!

    Based on the pictures it looks like the incident was just after 4:05 or so?

    Hi, John! Thanks for the well-wishes, and thanks for letting me ride your bike...and letting me offer it up to others to ride, as well :lol: That was awfully nice of me, wasn't it? :D
    Looking forward to riding with you and Walt again soon!

    Yep, you're exactly right, Jake! Wouldn't you know, it was probably the easiest section of that trail, too...:rolleyes: Riding out wasn't so easy, though...I had a few pucker moments through the rocks with only one hand on the bars. It helps to dial the damper up a notch :thumbsup:

    I really dug that trail, the rocks and little step-ups and stuff kept it interesting and also kept the stupid-fast speeds down. It's more like what we're used to ridiing, unlike the other dragstrip superspeedway
    trails out there :)

    Thanks for posting up the videos, and it was nice to see you again!

    Those whoops just went on and on and on....

    I was really happy to see the rocks appear!
