dreth · January 29, 2005, 09:49:58 PM

this was my oldest sons first day at a track. he wanted to hit this 40 ft double but his thumb wouldnt let him

dreth · January 29, 2005, 09:51:15 PM

he was creeping closer and closer

dreth · January 29, 2005, 09:53:19 PM

this is a 65ft table that he thought he was real close to making but he was only half way

when your new to flight it does seem like a long way

dreth · January 29, 2005, 09:55:48 PM

he started to get a little confidence as you can see with his little cross up move here

dreth · January 29, 2005, 09:57:27 PM

watch dad,

he will show you how to make that double

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:00:45 PM

watch again

you see you need more gas

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:03:07 PM

heres jeff with a little cornering action

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:06:17 PM

this one is a 85ft table, he said the face of the jump looked like a wall

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:08:12 PM

this is the same 85ftr and believe it or not i came up about 2ft short myself

look at the peak of the ramp, how uneven it was. the usual track maintenance man was out of town so it was the roughest ive ever seen it.

LakeMaryKid · January 29, 2005, 10:08:45 PM

DANG I WOULD LOVE TO RIDE THAT TRACK!

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:12:19 PM

he started to make a few landings

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:17:43 PM

a few little tricks, im sick so i wasnt pushing to hard

this is also another good pic of the uneven take offs

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:21:31 PM

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:23:34 PM

i could way over jump this one so i had to becareful

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:25:26 PM

this jump used to be about 10ft longer. its just a hop now

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:29:07 PM

this aint no heuvos trick but im getting around to the back flip

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:30:33 PM

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:31:54 PM

Qdawg76 · January 29, 2005, 10:33:24 PM

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:33:29 PM

im coming for you

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:34:48 PM

another look back

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:39:06 PM

this kid could ride. he is driving to cali for the opener of the nationals. hes only 19 and he was eating up the track

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:41:41 PM

big cross up for the young lad

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:43:21 PM

here he is on my 450r

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:46:30 PM

it held up to all the whoops at rodman and two wrecks but the track is a bit much for it so im back to the drawing board

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:48:32 PM

closer look! i have an idea that will look better than the electrical tape. it never came off , but it did come loose

dreth · January 29, 2005, 10:57:54 PM

all in all it was a good day! no wrecks and no broken quads! we thought it was gonna rain so we got a late start and me being sick didnt help any. yall know that aint gonna stop me, might slow me down, but not stop me. it was cloudy most of the day and breezy. only 5 quads all day so we were able to cut the track short if we got tired. my oldest son jeff had a good first day but he was disappointed with his self because he wanted to go big like his old man. i told him that with practice he will get there.
thanks for checking out our day of fun and i cant wait till our group ride to Waldo MX .

Kawa3 · January 29, 2005, 11:03:56 PM

dreth · January 30, 2005, 08:22:26 PM

dont know! it posted originally

raptor660 · January 30, 2005, 10:42:21 PM

Hey Dreth, I bet the jump was big but probably not "85" ft. and you coming 2ft short...

dreth · January 31, 2005, 08:49:08 AM

QuoteHey Dreth, I bet the jump was big but probably not "85" ft. and you coming 2ft short...

come on out with me some time! you be the judge

Caaz_YFZ450 · January 31, 2005, 06:12:53 PM

Nice pic's Shawn. Glad to see Jeff trying out the track thing. he is a fast rider, and like his dad he has a screw loose in the head for the big air. So give it time and he will be right there with ya...

-Keep the rubber side down

JP

(oh ya what was that the guy riding that's heading to Nationals... a yammy... not a HAHAHonda)

YES IT WAS A YAMMY! i can not lie, those things have the right power set up for the track. he had a 13:1 comp. piston in too, it was a hard hitter

Exmx54 · February 01, 2005, 02:07:46 PM

what was that kid's name on the yfz? Dreth, you should race Rd.2 of the nationals at gatorback, I bet you could hold your own in prod. B. Only three more weeks until I'm back riding, I'll meet you out at thundercross one day...

DierWolf · February 01, 2005, 02:48:30 PM

Why not mount the dang thing were it was intended to be mounted (on the frame somewhere) surely you didnt expect it to stay very long on plastic.

T2 · February 01, 2005, 03:23:03 PM

I will answer that one for Dreth, the reason He didn't mount it were it was supose to, was because he just bought a steering stablizer, so the rezi, and the stablizer don't fit in the same spot.

thanks T2 for those words . like he said i had to move it and i just happen to like that location because its different. it will be good as new this weekend

crfquad34 · February 02, 2005, 11:23:24 PM

The guy on the YFZ was Josh Williams, and one of the fastest guys in Florida , I just hope he got his shocks working better, he's not had the bike long and is just getting it dialed in, but when he does look out he is going to be tough to beat. And guys the table that dreth is talking about is 85ft. it used to be 90 and takes alot of speed to get over, nice pics dreth.

that was josh and he was real fast. he did get his elkas and was working on dialing them in. thanks for backing me up on the 85ft table , i measured every jump on the track myself with a 100ft tape measure.
