    You've got more ballz then me man, I don't know if I'd go hog wild on a three wheeler jumping... They are just so weird to take off and land, even landing on the rear wheels can be hard sometimes! I have a small track in my back yard and have no issue hitting things with my 400EX but the junky three wheelers would get beat up to fast or might not even sail through the air right, since my quad makes it's own path... Got any pics of you flying through the air? That'd be cool!

    Last time I took my 350 to a track, I didnt have enough speed up over a tabletop. When I came down, the rear tires bounced on an edge and I rode on the front tire until it flopped over on its side.
    It was my first time jumping the 350 on a track and I thought it did pretty good. I wasnt goin at it hardcore though.

    You are about 2 hours away from some of the best organized trike racing in the country right now with some of the best riders. Look for some threads about Lightning Raceway and Smith Road on this site to see what I'm talking about. Old does not always equal Junk my friend.

    If you know how to ride, a trike can be launched and landed well on an MX track.

    Very cool to see that you took it to a track and they ALLOWED you to race. Where was the track. Name, Location, etc. Might be worth a post in the Racing forum.

    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.
