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.

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

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

Great video Mike. :cool:

I saw the title about 130 year olds riding mx. Thought it might be someone I could keep up with. ;)

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:

Nice back wheel landings Gomer.
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.
