It was a sick track this weekend. Little bit of uphill cranage at the first. Hopefully that dude got a pic of you pulling the front wheel up on the backside uphilll. 🤘
Hey brother, nice riding! You followed me for quite a ways starting at 6:45. I was so tired by this point from all the whoops I was in survival mode 5 miles from the start... I cant believe how much I was sitting down haha. Where did you end up finishing? Do you ride the 200 A Class?
Without actually being there I can only guess. But my top two suspects would be brake drag or something went bad with the wheel bearings. It could be a binding chain but that's not too likely out there in the dry desert. A binding chain would definitely be suspect if you were back East in the mud. So I would go with wheel bearings or brake drag and if the brakes are dragging it could be that you need to put in DOT5. I had an instance where I completely lost my rear brake on a long long long long long downhill in Nevada and I only had front brakes and gearing to keep the bike slowed. Take the chain off for a minute and spin the wall by hand to see it it spins freely to check bearings..... It seems that after it cooled off for that minute I suspect overheated brake fluid. But only if your right boot was inadvertently depressing the brake pedal.
I most definitely agree, for some reason my rear tire locked up, threw all my weight forward washing out my front end. No clue what locked up that tire, after I broke it loose it seemed to be fine, so if you have any ideas on what that would be🤷🏼♂️😂
Does this track have any amenities? We're working on a new project and trying to get as much accurate information as possible so asking riders is the next best thing seeing most track owners don't respond lol. Like porta potties, trash bins, picnic tables, all those would count as amenities.
You and I went back and forth like 2 minutes in then right after the first road crossing I passed you . Sorry to hear you got stuck in the mud. You and I must have battled through most of the dunes
you had some good points and some bad, but you were in there! Obstacles like that are difficult and take practice .... not everyone can have a track in their backyard to learn on. Good job!
husky 150 TE it is a super fun bike, it has a hard hitting powerband for a 150, and is super light for all the tight stuff. My fav bike i have ridden for sure
