If that track was closer to Calgary, you know I'd be charming you for some details. I'm assuming it's Johnny's?

An old racer I know (Kim Houde) is headin up to Onoway in a couple weeks for the Veterans race at Devils Lake. Might head up for that and will be looking for somewhere to ride as I'll likely drag the KTM along for the tour. If anyone wants to hook up for a ride that weekend (May 16) shoot me a message.

It's Johnnys alright.. and my friends have already taken over it hahaha (Sorry Johnny!)

Actually, they have given him a lot of input and ideas about how to set it up, and we are his guinea pigs too! I didn't even ride it on Sunday, I was just there for the moral support while Johnny worked a bobcat all day, and everyone else tested out the new jumps! It's lookin sick!

GasCan, you should message me closer to that weekend, maybe me and my half and johnny and his half can hook up with you.. or whatever. Figure somethin out :d

Sounds good to me Johnny. I pulled my lower back last week and haven't rode due to the injury but can hopefully start riding a bit this weekend. Might head to Fallen Timber for the test and tune noted below. In either case, might have to take things easy for the next couple weeks but would like to check out the track you have going there. Stay in touch.

that sounds like a fun day.

This track is on the property of my womans family. i'll run the idea past them and we'll see what comes of it.

I'm planning to take some pictures and video and post it so you guys get an idea of what we have going on out there. some pretty wild stuff set up.

I haer ya on the injury report. im nursing 2 very sore ankles. just wasnt focusing enough while hitting one of the new jumps and cased the landing. Maybe i should have been wearing some boots and not running shoes? Worst way to learn a lesson, thats for sure. i was just so excited to quickly hit some of the new jumps before it got dark. i shouldnt have been using an unfamiliar bike either....

Heres our 9 yr olds ride for the season. FMF pipe, V-Force reeds, fold aways. He rips it up on this thing and is happy to hand down his KX 65 to his sister :d This will be his 3rd season racing. He's raced both but prefers cross country over closed track. So if you see #37 at your next Hare Scramble race, Cheer Him On!!

where in alberta you live? if your little dude and your little lady ever want to come rip it up let me know! they are more than welcome to come spin some laps on our track. i love watching kids on the small bikes out-riding the older guys. hahaha

are you sure that Isnt an '07? Your airbox and fork-guards are orange and your fork guards are the old style. In '08 those pieces came black and the fork guards came stock with the wrap-around style.
