Glen Helen MX National Hillclimb Demo

Post by rpeterson »

Before we landed the date for the GH hilllcimb last year we did a one run demo at Halftime during the AMA MX Finals. It was almost a total disaster because they didn't open the gates at the top of the hill and I just barley saved it. It left a good enough impression to get our foot in the door for a event and now the rest is history!

The gates were wired shut and no one had any thing to cut them loose. :x So instead of stopping me they just let me hit it wide open in 3rd. :shock: I think they just wanted to see how good I could stop with only a front brake. :lol:

I would either be 6 ft under or still in a coma if I would have connected with the fence. Oh, well. Someone was watching and taking care of me that day!

Amen to that :wink: wired shut with nothin to open them... pffft :roll: they should have kicked the damn things open, its a crappy modular chainlink fence.. take that part down.. definitly not rocket science and worth the effort to keep a rider from heading to the hospital.
