Xtinction 2011 now with helmet cam video

Post by 2strokeforever »

came in 27th overall, only 40 qualified, more info crash video and pics soon as i get my bike unloaded

feels good to represent the real open class

http://www.offroadmotorcycles.ca/journa ... ifier.html

got there wednesday, there was no riding allowed other than the race... that sucked but insurance reasons....
helped ribbon some stuff and walked a bit of the course, most of the ground is as hard as a rock, and theres cactus everywhere

the night before the race i go to bed early, found out my "2 man" tent is 5 X 4? dosent even fit a kid >:( so i wake up at 1:30 in the morning a crazy storm drops by, i wake up soaking wet and theres ktm tents flying everwhere, bikes knocked over......

for the 2 hour qualifier im going all out cause i want to make sure i get in, did 4 laps and got a spot right on the front row, leaving me 45 minutes to change my airfilter, scrape the clay out of my footpegs and eat a bit before the race starts

your only allowed to get help from another rider, unless your going to the hospital, so you need to carry some tools

burning hot out and real tired so i go slow to try and save a bit of energy, riding sloppy crashed hard and hurt the bike a bit but still had lots of fun and did decent
really cool watching graham jarvis ride, amazing rider

will be back next year better prepared and hopefully do better


heres the crash, lucky i didnt get hurt and had a spare brake lever, the foot peg is toast, and something in the front end is messed...



im amazed the flexxbars are still straight, but it feels like one of the bushings exploded or something, they should be cheap tho

coulda been a lot worse, on guy broke his bike in half

lots more on the way

the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

that dudes video is cool, thats the same kinda stuff we have to climb here, usually its wet, cow-punched and big loose chunks erroding off it. :roll:

We'll have to come ride that deal.

probably not, this stuff is literaly as hard as concrete, sometimes with a loose layer on top, good traction, its like a whole diffrent planet
if it gets wet you cannot even stand on it, gets real slippery
none of the hills were impossible, but after racing a 2 hour cutoff race just to get in, then the actual race starts 45 min later
once your exhausted from the qualifier and heat it gets way harder
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

ill be expecting you there august, the hardest part was riding for over 5 hours and try to stay smart/smooth

unfortunately its private property and the only way to get to ride it is to enter the race
