He wasn't that clean after the race!

Awesome X3!
Great read. Sure looks like we're heading for a fantastic year.

Look out Huskys and KTM's there's a new kid on the block.

Gas Gas sure got the styling right on the money with this model....2011 colors are icing on the cake....and the six days and racing are yet to come

No he didn't.
Another funny crash. During the race, we left a gas available after the second section. We were going down a gravel road in the rain and it had a hard left turn. Chris tosses it away in the corner. He said he jumped up hoping nobody saw him and he looks around and about 8 guys had stopped and were staring at him with really wide eyes.
Guess that's why he doesn't work for a street bike mag.

LOL I didn't see how he could have hung on but it sure was a good pic.! The 2010 and 2011 GG's are the best looking bikes on the planet and this exposure will help in getting them on the trails. Now.... do I want another 10 or 11 that is the question.

I stopped by after race to thank chris for testing the gas gas here in midwest. Said he liked the motor and had a blast riding it. I told him us old enduro riders would like to see more exotic bike test in dirt rider. Wish I could have gotten there earlier friday to ride that new 300. Cant help but wonder what it feels like compared to my dialed in 05' 300. The new gassers look trick and that nambotin replica was b!tch!n'.
