March.  Spring is near.  We are at it once again, this time we planned ahead. We checked the weather, we all got our acts together with times to meet and where and we pulled it off.  We even shot some 5-stand at this place in New Paltz instead of our usual trap shooting, but that’s another story for another day.

 

Let me introduce Josh Youngman, our newest “team member” bud.  He’s not an F650 rider, but he’s one of us for sure and that’s good enough to be included on this site.  That, and he’s one sick bastard. :)

Slick Saturday

Mud — everywhere — up to our eyeballs in it… Josh had the traction with his knobbies.  ***NOTE: We dropped our tires down to 17 PSI for this event!!! Much better!!!

Josh on his KTM in a mud bog that almost got us all.

Me, posing with my ride — finally with a shot of my Chain Gang shirt on!

Seth and Josh summing things up and taking a smoke break. ———>

Josh playing in the mud trying to shoot a muddy rooster tail in the air and nail us all with the debris… it worked!

Here’s an MPEG of Mike spinning out of a mud bog. (1.31 MB)

 

Check these 2 shots out!  This is Frong’s bike AFTER the mud session.  He took top honors in muddiness.

 

He rode home in the rain and high winds later that night, but he said the mud remains… hope it’s not permanent!

This is the “good” trails...

ATV dude (Wayne) helps out. Thanks!
