I wish I would have seen this last week. I was looking for someone to go ride at the ridge with but I ended up doing a little trail riding at Wilbourn instead.
I'm still trying to learn how to control my YFZ in the air. I go to the track just about every chance I get but it'll probably be a while before I enter a race though because I still have a lot to learn. My machine is still stock except for the exhaust rejet and nerf bars that are coming in tommorow. I stil got to get a kill switch and some other small safety equipment so far now I am just trying to learn from more experienced riders.

Well, I'll try to remember to post when we're going riding again. You can come ride with us. There's a few guys I ride with that are CRAZY fast, and there's a few (like me) who are slow as Christmas.

So you shouldn't feel too bad about it.
On another subject, where all do you trail ride? Me and a couple friends of mine have been looking for some places to ride trails that a 50" wide MX quad will fit on without tearing it all to pieces. I used to ride at a place called "The Bowl" but it got shut down and Sayre back in the day, but I don't know if it's even still open or not.

I went to Wilbourn atv trails in Hanceville this past weekend and most of the trails are wide enough that a 50" wide four wheeler would have no problem but some of the ruts might cause some problems with 18" tires though. This place has some of the best trails I've been down. It also has some pretty nasty hills if you like hill climbing. There is supposed to be 150+ miles of trails there and I believe it because we never hit half of the trails and I've been there twice.

Did you catch their numbers? The only guy I know with K&K graphics and a white quad tech hood is a guy who just finished his '08 race bike, and I didn't think he'd ridden it yet. But I do know another guy with white quad tech hood and some other kind of graphics that rides at the ridge all the time. Was it these 2 guys?

I would love to go watch this weekend but I have to work Saturday.
I am probably going to ride this Sunday at Chandler Mtn. or The Ridge again. I learn alot more each time I go to the track and my endurance is slowly getting better. After watching all the guys at the ridge last weekend ride I know I have a long way to go yet.

It's not looking like it. I'm still waiting on a bunch of parts, my head is still at Dasa, and the frame and subframe are in the back of my truck but the rest of my junk is at Ken's. And since I'm still on call at work, I can't go down there and work on it.

I guess I'll just go hang out and watch ya'll.

Why not? If my bike was together, I'd be there until dark. The track should be pretty good by then too, no dirtbike ruts.

i kept listenin for ur name wen i was around all the guys u hang out with but never really heard it n since i dont know what u look like it was kinda hard to find ya LOL
but anyway store that # as Cody P if u want to n let me know next time u guys r ridin
and how bout that guy on the white ltr today? lol
gtilley45
Mar 16 2008, 06:52 PM
Yeah, I got conned into flagging.

I was flagging the triple beside the pond where the tunnel goes under the track.
The guy on the white LTR was Cody Gibson. If I'm not mistaken, he runs Pro Am at the nationals or at least "A". I really thought Casey Martin would stay closer to him than he did, and Austin was hanging close to them for a while until his motor went boom. It was a bad day for all my fast friends. Adam killed the transmission in his bike, and both Rickey and Austins motor popped. They said the air filter came loose on Austin's TRX and the nut that holds the filter on got sucked into his motor.

Mar 17 2008, 05:33 AM
That sucks!
I was there yesterday watching and I was impressed with the turn out. I didn't realize how rough the track actually was till I got out there during the practice. My arms were killing me after 2 laps. It gave me a new found respect for how fast some of those guys were.
Zkid09
Mar 17 2008, 01:02 PM
dang it jarad y didnt u call me n let me no u was ridin!?!?! or do u have my #? lol
u n grant both need to get my # cuz i always get left out on the practices n i wanna ride up there bad
and i wanna find sum buddies to ride MX with considerin all my buds are trail freaks :P
but yea me n my dad talked to austin and adam.
it was austin that rode his race bike in the last race right?
and if so him and the guy on the ltr was goin at it pretty good. btw ill PM both of yall my # so either of u can text me or call me
gtilley45
Mar 17 2008, 01:37 PM
Just keep an eye out on www.sequads.com and www.jmrpowersports.com because most of the time, they'll be a post on there about where everybody is riding.
I think you are thinking about Rickey. Was he #91? If so, that's Rickey. Austin is #717 and Adam is #28. Rickey killed his motor on his '07 race bike/practice bike in the first "Expert" moto, and I heard for the second moto he was gonna ride his '08 race bike that he just finished. But I left so I don't know if he did or not.
Zkid09
Mar 17 2008, 04:29 PM
yea it was rickey then
and he ended up racin the 08 race bike. he finishedd 3rd i believe. thay white ltr won, there was an orange R 2nd and he finished 3rd.
gtilley45
Mar 17 2008, 07:50 PM
Yeah, the orange TRX was Casey Martin. He was riding for Media All-Stars at one time. I'm pretty sure both him and Cody Gibson run Pro Am at the nationals.
