Well I decided to go today figure the more seat time I get the better.. what a muddy soupy mess... It seemed it was more work then fun but what can you do.... I rode the longer of the moto style tracks... it seemed most everybody was having a hard time but there were a few guys that were absolutely ripping.. Most of everybody else were having some issues..
Myself I managed to only crash out twice.. both times were coming out of uphill corners and I just spun a 360 and fell in the mud.. even though it was bad I feel im getting a bit more confident on the bike I was hitting some of the jumps a little harder, at least the ones I could get a good drive up to.. I did tweak me knee a little bit but it should be fine in a day or two... this getting old stuff stinks lol.. I took a few pics of the bike..

Also took some video this one is 12 minutes long .. basicly two laps around.. don't pick on me too much this is the second time ive ridden this bike and probably the 3rd time ive ridden in the dirt in about 15 years

I think you were doing well, especially considering you just got back on a bike, the track was a soupy mess, and it was cold enough to have snow on the track. I applaud you for even getting out on the track in those conditions. I would have been home on the couch drinking a hot beverage. :-D

Thanks guys .. I just feel a lot slow lol... I could post up videos on my trikes at the dunes and you wouldn't think this is the same guy... ...
THE NEW BRAKE LINE . Worked out great it even fit correctly once I read the instructions provided with the kit and rotated the banjos correctly.. I was impressed I'll be ordering the front from them once I get to replacing it... The customer service was top notch once I had an issue the tech that assembles the lines called me and sent pictures...
The weather wasn't realy that bad... It was 52 degrees out but we had a really heavy snow earlier in the week it was in high 40 low 50 fri sat Sunday and today .. There talking snow again wednesday

At about 65 degrees that track would be awesome for sure. As for a beverage, I would probably have to try a few different ones just to make sure I had the right one. 8-)

The whole park is nice tons of riding .. That is the larger of the two mx style tracks .. There is lots of other terrain to ride... The park hosts events such as ultra4 rock races.. And the CORCS series races which are similar to a gncc or hare scramble type race.. That is why I bought the bike to try and compete in the Vet C class... Last time I raced out there on my quad it was about a 8 mile circuit.... I'm going to try and get out to practice at least on a weekly basis... And it's only 15 minutes from the house
