[QUOTE="the Eel, post: 780964, member: 19952"] DirtRider magazine has a 30 minute show each week on SPEED channel called "DirtRider Adventures". It's usually incredibly bad but this week's episode looked inside the DirtRider 24-hour torture test for this year, which they held at Hungry Valley. It focused on 11 bikes - 8 of which were full-on factory off-road bikes (Barry Hawk's YZ250, Chuck Woodford's bike, Scott Summers' CRF450, Fred Andrews' RM250, Mike Lafferty's Ktm 250, and a few other GNCC pro's bikes) and 3 stock 250CC thumpers - WR250F, CRF250X and KTM's 250 4-stroke. They rode these bikes for 24-hours on the same trails we rode at the qualifier. The riders included guys like Dick Burleson, Randy Hawkins, the list goes on. Anyway, what struck me was watching the guys slide all over the place, just like us. It was funny, and several of the test riders commented about the difficulty of the riding there ... slippery hard pack, huge sand whoops, etc. Gorman is so cool because all that stuff is great practice plus you've got a good 50 or so miles of single track forest trail to ride ... more east coast style stuff which isn't real easy to find down here. Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there since the place obviously presents a challenge for anyone who isn't familiar with it including guys like Randy Hawkins. FYI ... this is the closest place for me to ride and it's kinda my summer break riding spot ... so anyone who wants to ride there over the break, just say when. There's a ton of forest stuff we didn't see at the qualifier. Anyway, I had a great time riding with you guys at the qualifier ... a fun day for sure. [/QUOTE]
