Today was the best day i have every had. I FINALLY left the house to go riding somewhere public. And i chose the slippery rock dunes. The trials were awesome, tight, sandy, and hills, with the occasional straight away to get speed, mud and some SERIOUS hill climbs.
Did the hill climb 3 times. First i took the middle trail, and made it up my first time. My heart was pounding at the top because they were STEEP. Second time i took the left trail, hit a rut went sideways and I went down. I rolled back down the hill, but the bike stayed so i had to go retrieve it which was difficult, the hill was hard to walk up. So i sat at the bottom and waited for a sec. Then some guy took off on a quad and went up the on i just wrecked on, made it half way and then started to tumble back to the bottom. Luckley he was ok. And somehow the quad was to. so in about 5 min i tried The third time on the very right , i made it all the way to the top, and almost on the flat the bike took off and shot into the air. Back tire was higher than the front and i was still hold on to the handlebars. It was fun, thought it was gonna land on me though.... the bike made it to the top.... but i didn't.
Then i tried a motocross track for the first time. It was AWESOME! First lap i took it kind of slow just to check it out. (nobody else was on the track) Second lap i started to jump and take the berms with some speed. In 20min i was able to clear the step down, and all the table tops, but didn't even a temp the triple. I need to practice my cornering, but i was keeping up with other people when they came back on..
Today was awesome! I really want to go again soon. But i really broke my KX250 when i was on the track. 2 motor mounts broke, the swing arm bolt broke and was half way out. And the rear shock bold was half way out. and the inside of the muffler broke.....(good thing i stopped when i did) And the swing arm bolt is $40... so i may not ride for awhile.
All in all today was AWESOME!!! I will want go more often because that was too much fun. I loved the sport before but now i am an extreme addict. I need a new bike. My 1983 Kx250 isn't holding up to my brutality.
I wanted to share my awesome day! I really want to ride on the motocross track more often, and get out more. i don't expect everyone to read this, but i was very excited, and needed to share my first experience.
If you made it this far Thanks for reading!!! :cool: :)
