Some pics of my boys first race this last Saturday 5-16-15 out at our local track 212 Land. Can't figure out how to get the pics up just the links have some crappy vids I will post once I get em on YouTube. He raced the 200cc class (novice) on his 1995 YZ125.

sorry for the slightly "off topic" question, but...
when you watched my videos of the sled, what did you think of the quality of the recording?
-
It was pretty good got blurry on occasion but could be my connection. Why do you ask
-
cause it was just a cheap $60 camera I used.
it gets a little blurry on me too...it's the wind noise I'm not happy with....but at 50-80+mph, I guess I can't complain too much.
-
Not bad at all at that price!!!!
-
it's ok...does what I want/need...
this is it right here....I didn't buy it from amazon, I got it from my local Best Buy for $59.95....

No GoPro So let me start with excuses, a good friend of mine son was killed in a car accident last Friday, my wife had surgery Wednesday, I didn't get my paycheck so I was broke! So I got a late start this morning and was still signing up when the unclassified class took off (basically a sight laptop to learn layout). I had about 30 minutes to get gased,geared, and stretched out. Lined up for start on second row go to move forward after first row takes off and bike dies and won't start. Second and third rows take off and I'm still there's kicking. Biggest rookie mistake forgot to turn my gas back on after warming her up. Took off like a bat outa hell, passed 6 bikes in first half a lap, almost ran someone over who had went down and got lodged in some rocks for about five minutes before getting going again. Everyone except one guy who I was able to keep behind me was gone.Reeled a couple back in then whacked a rock and flattened my front tire on beginning of third lap. Fought it for almost a lap til my arms pumped up solid and it was no longer safe for me to be out there!! BIG Fat DNF!!!

eh..no need for excuses man!....
sorry to hear about your friend, and wife...
but I'm willing to bet you had fun!, despite forgettin to turn the fuel on and getting a flat. :-)
that pic certainly doesn't show anger in your facial expression...maybe more like, "I'm ready for a beer". :mrgreen:

Sorry I couldn't make it brother.. Dealing with Realtors on a house today.. Next time
It's cool man, there's always next year right? Are you finally moving out of the city?

lol that pic was actually before the race! :x I just look that beat all the time. Yeah it was super fun despite all the drama, it was super dusty though still coughing up dirt. Only one other K5 out there and I don't even think he was racing. I will be out there again next year FOR SURE!!!
-
Right on you are getting closer
-
Didn't see him (because I didn't stick around to watch any of the action) but Ron Leichien was out there. He was not on the mighty K5 though.
