Default Motocross

Anyone else ride? I don't race, I just ride for fun

I shot this Saturday with my GoPro 960p. It's a YZ125 2 Stroke, stock besides suspension and full FMF Exhaust.

I raced for 15 years, unfortunately I had to put it on the back burner, plus owning a F body and Racing aren't easy on the pocket lol

I do both, I prefer the track though, it's way more fun. Yeah, trail riding is fun but did you ever do a jump? It's like your flying LOL!

Cool videos, I want the GoPro Hero but it was too much lol :p

I'm from the Reading, PA area, 19601.

I was that way too when I first started riding at a track. I just was like, **** it and pinned it and hoped for the best LOL.

But seriously, riding side by side next to someone that is good helps to know how fast to go. That's how I started doing them.

I have mx raced a quad in the ama district 7 for a few years and ride dirtbikes at a few local tracks for fun too. I have a few good riding areas around me here in southern md if anyone would be interested in doing a group ride one weekend.

Ive never raced, but love riding my CRF450r through the fields/woods around here. I keep it in my living room so I can just push it out the back door and go whenever I want.

If any of you pa riders are interested I've got 91 cr500 and a 93 kx500 that I would part with. They both are ready to ride just don't have time and to many other toys.

I went to the track on Saturday, wow, it was so muddy and rutted. Some of the ruts would hit the foot pegs.

I don't know how many times I leaned it over or spun out because it was so muddy!

In the process, I also blew my front tire. I need a new tire and a tire tube now. I probably ran a piece of metal over

Also, I just ordered a Boyesen Power Reed to put in. I should have everything Thursday and have it ready for the weekend
