Here is a 29 min video I put together from the first District 37 Desert Race for the 2013 season. Loop 1 was just under 40 miles then loop 2 was 20 miles up in the mountains Then we came down from the mountains and picked up the last 20 miles from loop 1 I tryied to show a little of all the course.Let me know what you think View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snv37nOOpEc
XPDRS Niice!!! John, That was a nice course lots of dez single track and good hill technicals. for those who dont know the hills out there are very steep and unforgiving and all those trail hack rocks beat you down. good plush intial suspension valving is good out there, but you need some stuff that can eat whoops too. nice course!!
I like the mocking of people that "need electric start" lol. Seriously though, great video! Looks like a lot of fun
I like the new transponders. We have an all new scoring system now too. Down hill was definitely rocky, didn't look too nasty, not like desert daisy's switch-back cliff dive I went down...
What a beautiful sound track..... I talk to myself too, it's usually stuff like " Ya dummy, what did ya do that for? & don't do it again"
There is nothing better then the sound of a 2 stroke then add in the smell of race gas and burning oil Well you now But soon the smell will be gone as Husky is working on a cleaner burning motor
You can see I started it in netural because with 20/50 oil and under 30 degrees it was easier then trying it in gear a button might have solved that but then i would have had to carrie it all day the starter and battery
They worked great According to moto tally i passes 9 experts on loop 2 loop 2 was where all the rocks were and the suspention worked nice Loop 1 was lot of fast open stuff and I just do not like to go fast in the open stuff For me the expence was well worth it the suspention works great. You can hear the motor also works great With all the talk on here about carbs and other stuff you need to make the Wr 250/300 run better it reminds me of the days when all the WR 125 guys wanted there WR to run like a CR My WR 300 has 2002 CR electronics on it and it runs great Even with a stock carb on it
Nice to hear those Ohlins are working for you. I just installed the Ohlins TTX shock from David at Fast Bike Suspension. Can't wait to get the forks back from him. Yep, your 300 sounded like it was running good. Looked like a course with plenty of variety to test the tune. Dave
the smell, that bean oil (napalm) smell, it smells like.....victory. Just rode this weekend, like every weekend with our old school mentor, he added a little 927 maxima to his usual 2T mix just so we could smell that special bean oil mix. nice....
You want some more Check out my 8 min video on King of the moto start area I am sooooooooo in over my head but I will try and will have a good time Also since you are so close why dont you come up to Lecuren this weeken for Round 1 of the Nastionals Either to watch or race or just rode around all day John
I was just up in Copper City over the weekend riding, drinking, howling at the moon and riding some more. I dunno that I can get permission from the "front office" to head up but I'll give it a shot. She gets kind of mad over my vanishing during the weekend.
