I was getting my butt kicked by a big hill yesterday at Wellsville. When I got my bike down after attempt #2, somone pointed out a sign nailed to a tree. The hill had a name. It was called "The chainsaw massacre".

And 2nd gear pinned on a kx500 just wasn't enough!

The magic gear on a 500cc 2-Stroke is 3rd !! 2nd gear generates too much wheel spin. If you can get a big bore 2 smoker in 3rd gear, you can climb just about anything !!

Kiwi,

Nice Jawbone pics! Just like being there .... Are you coming out the first weekend?

I'm counting the days till the 21st. Too much rain here in Oregon. Endoquest is going to caravan down with Belle and I on Friday.

Bonehead and Cynthia are coming to Rapids' house Friday and all are heading to Jawbone on Saturday. No Jared this year. Too bad.

The firewood truck should follow them in on Saturday night.

See ya there,

Bob 'n Belle

That's the kind of hill (rock littered) that gets me shakin' like jello. There was a similar hill at one of the TWMC enduros, only less well traveled and probably a little less less solid. I won't tell you how I handled that one .... :scream:

Nice shot, BBoom...! That ought to make some sphincters pucker...! :scream:

<tee-hee>

It all goes to prove it's just what you're used to. One persons' "have-to'do-this-every-ride-to-get-to-"x" is another person's "no-EFFIN-WAY!!!!"

Cheers! - ET

Cool! I really like hearing the bikes rather than music when watching riding clips. That slate wall must have been steep, he was grabbing several gears on the way up to it.
