I had a blast this weekend at Jolly Rogers motocross track!
Moto 1 I kept losing speed in all the corners, almost like I had a flat. Someone would fly by and splash mud all over my goggles :lol: and I just couldn't see so I had to pull off. I should have just ripped the goggles off but lesson learned.
My back was bothering me from the race at Paradise Speedway so I figured I'd just sit it out. Then my buddy Brandon put a Lidocaine patch on me as I tried to figure out what was happening.
I know it sounds stupid but I had a "Eureka" moment back at the Toy Hauler camp. It was the damn nerf bars slamming into some very rutted corners that was slowing me down!! So I yanked them off and headed out for moto 2. I got off the gate in 2nd and I braked into turn 1 and someone got into my rear tire and he went flying off the track breaking his arm; With that hit my fenders came out of the latch and I had to pull over but with that fixed and 8 kicks to get it started again, off I went.
I'm not sure where I placed in the end, I did catch a couple guys but it was just great to TRY!! And throughout the 5 laps I felt pretty good.
The weekend was such a stress alleviator and I can't wait for Trikefest and Unadilla!!!!
DON'T run nerfs on rutted tracks!! And I hope the guy that crashed heals up. Zach something...
