My 9 year old and I left early Sat. to attend the TWMC Jawbone Classic, expecting to see Placelast and Co. there (no show because something came up). Never-the-less, I dropped his name to get on the good side everybody.;)
There were several events - two were a bit serious (the timed cross country event and the hill climb) and the rest were "all in fun" type.
One of the events was a small "trials" course, which I kept clean until the last few feet, when I somehow managed to launch my bike sideways and do a ridiculous prattfall/roll into the gully.:silly:
Then there was the event were you had to slalom, get off your bike, spin around ten times and run back like drunken biker trash. My daughter beat me on this one.
The last event was the hillclimb, and I hoped to redeem myself there. No such luck. About half way up, I got some unexpected traction and launched my bike into the air like a missle.:eek: I should have taken a few practice runs (I was trying to save on mangled parts).
Anyway, it was a great event to bring kids and introduce them to the joys of dirt riding and a little competition. My kid can't quit talking about it (I've received instruction on weight positioning for hillclimbing :) ).
