Wow John! Instant carnage.... An enduro start format, might make that a little more civil, but that isn't the point, is it?
Last year we had a qualifier on sat for our start times. Then on sunday we started 2 at a time side by side. now very much fun for those watching. When was the last time you saw so many people, helicoperters and cameras at a race. This event goes on for 2 weeks and draws like 50,000 people so they want to keep it fun to watch
Not every race is the same there are all different types of motorcycle races. I personally have tried over the years to at least try as many as I could. Maybe just so I can say I tried that. From MX to Wide open Baja or Desert to up in the trees even a few dual sport events. We only live once We do not get a second time thru. Since I have done a lot of them I now really enjoy a race where I know it will take everything I have just to finish. At my age I know I will never never ever even come close to a win at KOM. But if I work hard train hard prep my bike learn new things I might just get a finish. So my new goal is to get another finish. If that means waiting in line at the first hill off the start or later in the day teaming up with a fellow racer to work together to get up a canyon. Then that is what I will do. But to say that does not look like fun or that will hurt my bike is something I will never say. I so enjoy the challenge it so worth it to push yourself and find just what you have. Like 360 days to go
Mr Landofmotards Then do it what is really keeping you from saying I tried that Colorado is not that far. We had a few people from there. Even Nicole Bradford from Colorado was there and see kicked my butt So get a used 250 2 stroke and start getting ready or even a 165 or 200 works great also
That was funny telling that guy just wait we have all day But really some finisher were out there till 5pm
That was Nicole Bradford ! She would smoke you on any other coarse John ! lol ... and you did beet her.
I think this vid my friend took is the best one that captures the start lol View: http://youtu.be/60RNuDUq20U
That was not Nicole She was on a KTM 200 and does not ware a Motorcycle Super Store Bell Helmet. She is the one who flip her bike a few min earlier . Yes she is fast and she did beat me, she races the National also where she is very hard to beat. Her and her husband are nice people
You friend got a few shots of me after being ran over with in 15 feet of the start I said I was just going to take my time try not to use to much energy and cruise up. I have rode this hill a few times before any way 3.32 Right lower corner of screen Blue and White MC Superstore Bell Helmet with Blue and Yellow Moose gear 4.41 in the middle 4.56 taking off my goggles 5.34 kick starting my bike 6.27 That is Nicole Bradford just above me as she flips her bike back down 6.44 She is picking it up 7.50 top of the screen talking to race promoter jimmy Lewis 9.54 Ride off the screen to the left From there on no real problem just not fast enough to make the afternoon race BUT there is next year
Sorry John I thought you made the afternoon race ! My bad ! Check out some of my helmit vids I captured a bunch of her She rides better than most out there lol
