Dude just going down there and making top 10 is cool, to get wood is awesome. Sections 2 and 3 were muthas. Really tough, mud bogs through vine infested tight woods. Sections 1-4-5 were all pretty good, I was just a little rusty at first and my bike was a bit stiff for the rooty snotty stuff, I expected more sand. Tommy Zettle was top 5 OA B, he led the way all day and he even rode section 6.
We just got back about 9 AM. Unloaded, took a shower and now I godda get to work.

Not every one had fun...ck this quote out.
Clip from another forum:
" I have heard from numerous riders that the supposed routes around the swamps were non existant and that the trail was so tight it was stupid. I have also heard tales of bikes stuck so deep in swamps that the only thing you could see was a seat. I am very glad I didn't do this one as I have yet to hear one positive thing about it other than they were riding and not sitting at home."
WOW. I guess some guy even had more trouble than I did! The problem with the tight piney mud bogs was that there were vines every where so making alternate lines was nearly impossible.

They were easily avoidable on row 84, I watched people go right down the center of the mud holes... it's their own fault... and I though the hole race was pretty much WFO... I had fun!
nickolino said::yikes: Well then jordan414 you need to get chickafied!
Chicafied? :whoa: what is that?
:ride: Well this is a teachable moment. What is chickafied? Well if you went to a tough enduro and had fun that makes you not chicafied. But had you whined, complained, boohoo'd about how hard it was then you would be chicafied like most enduro riders are. Hope this clears it. Polish sausage do you agree? Pork chop do you agree.

:cool: got ya...
I'm never chickafied then...haha
It was awesome trail all day. All of the deep ruts in the second section already had bikes stuck in them when I went through... so I made it through pretty cleanly. The sixth section could have used some more arrows and the trail cleaned up a bit more, but I wasn't being timed so I guess it didn't matter too much... it was probably better by the time Jordan came through.
You would have easily been top 2 in 200B class.Rivard809 said:Im glad I stayed home! Pondo killed it this weekend Fred... So I made out like a bandit.

Bummer dude. :| That sucks.
Heal up quick!
I didn't think anyone ever rode aggressively, made aggressive passes, or made errors in judgement when it came to other riders safety at enduro's?? :whoa:

yeah you have used me for traction on a couple occasions! :yikes: Us chubby guys are good traction, if not a little hard to wheelie over! ;)
I know it is kinda against the rules around here but I have to give Fred some props. The firt time I met him was up at Marquette in about 2004? He ripped his nose half off and was bleeding like crazy. I asked him if he was alright (it was a free section back to gas). He said something like " this trail is awesome" and off he went. That was pretty cool.
