Helmet-cam video of 130 year olds riding MX at DP

[High Lord Gomer]

OK, so maybe we only collectively had 130+ years among the three of us...

Saturday I took the kids out to ride at Durhamtown Plantation in GA and after they left (Danny had to get to work), I got to ride his KXF for a bit with a couple guys. I was the youngest (and the slowest) at 42. I'll post a full write-up in the Ride Reports forum once I get a chance, but here are three poor qualiy clips from my helmet cam.

First one if a fairly steep tabletop followed by a 60' step up:

You can't tell from watching it, but this is an 80' tabletop/triple:

I only double into this little rythm section but this guy triples!

Guys...get me your names so I can give proper credit when I try to clean up the video. The original is 64MB for the three laps we did.

Awesome footage. I love helmet cam stuff. :nod:

Cool shots. With the drought, I'm surprised they are still allowing off road riding even on a closed course.

very cool
I will be waiting for the cleaned up full feature and the quality is not that bad at all for a helmet cam

well done Gomer I would like to see more vids like that

Nice back wheel landings Gomer. That is some kinda hard pack. I think you could have took them.

That is the only track I have ever ridden that the rocks (boulders) appear to grow out of the ground. It will eat a new back tire up in a few days of riding. Definitely have to wear a chest plate. Those rocks are deadly coming out from under the back tire of the person in front of you. I guess that is why it is best to be in front.IT is a very fun track to ride. :cool:

LOL! I was pointed straight. Besides, I was having to overjump a lot of that stuff trying to keep up with them.

That is some kinda hard pack.

Like concrete, only stickier when it gets a little moisture in it. When it gets a lot, it turns slipperier than owl ****.

I think you could have took them.

Not a chance, they were passing each other back and forth and that let me keep up.
