There's not a snowball's chance in hell that I could do that on my XR400. LoL! Quote:
Yes, of all the places I've ridden, Brushy is my favorite, too. The variety is phenomenal, from fairly wide open double track that you can blast down, to some of the gnarliest singletrack you can imagine. I rode in their 2nd annual "Battle of the Goats" extreme enduro this past summer on my 230. Didn't fair as well as I had hoped, but had an absolute blast. There's no doubt that they've got world-class terrain there for that kind of riding. Here's a video of it from this year. You can actually see me on the far right if you pause it at 1:30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEOirTl_3nM But as you pointed out, when that place gets wet, it gets WET! A bunch of the trails there are definitely impassable when it gets wet and slick. Here's the video of Battle of the Goats 2016, which they actually ran DURING Hurricane Matthew! It had rained like 6 inches the night before the race, and then rained the entire race. Talk about a mess! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vyl2EMLx4Xo Quote:
As mentioned earlier, a really nice EC250 is currently in the works! Pretty much just trying to figure out a time to make the drive to pick it up! I figured that if I found the 250 to be lacking on the bottom end (not likely), it's fairly cheap and easy to swap out the cylinder for a 300cc one. If you haven't been, it's absolutely worth it. When it's not completely soaking wet, that place really does have world-class trails. Unless you're just lightning fast, there's enough there to keep you busy for at least 3 days. Even hauling a$$, you're probably looking a solid 2 days to ride everything. And the people that own/run it are awesome as well. Completely worth it. Definitely get in touch if you come this way. I'm always down to meet and ride with new people! |

I loved those shirts. I'm glad you have one. I sent my last one of them (with Smackover Motor Sports printed on it's sleeve) out recently. I had kept it for a long time and kept it in good shape. A friend who wanted one did me a favor, so I sent it to him and told him to "Enjoy it!"

Thank you for the video links. I had seen and "Liked" the one from 2016, but hadn't yet seen the 2017 version. If you end up down this way, give me a shout. We'll ride somewhere near here. When you get your bike, I can assist you with manuals, etc. The 2006 and later bikes all the way through to 2017 have a dual stage ignition, MX and Enduro profiles. More on that on request. Good Riding! Jim

You just haven't gotten as lazy as I have. Chris Butler is working on me about coming up to ride with you. You made me smile about the shirt. Merry Christmas! Jim

I wasn't kidding Chris - my trials bike is his if he can get you to come ride with me. I'll put you guys up and feed you right. I look forward seeing and riding you two again. Merry Christmas to you and Deb and your family.
