@ponydown418 Yeah, I was off my game going through here the first time. Lap 3's run-through here was much more professional.

Damn ninja on the old KX... just can't keep up whenever I see ya

@@zombanator3000 You kept up for a while. Im going to have to step up my game lol

@@chrisjager4539 don't do that, otherwise you'll be AA class for sure

I wouldn't say tough, more like the trail had been worn in already since little of this trail was new, as a lot was the same as I rode last year

Well, don't worry, the trees got me back for it a couple times, since I shoulder check a lot of em, and fell a lot

He's row 6

@@roryfishburn9200 yep, row 6. Open B class. Thought I posted a comment hours ago, but I guess not

@christeal1657 thanks. Still trying to figure out the gopro setting and the bike settings for difference sections

2012 KTM 125SX

@ponydown418 Thanks, man. I'm going to watch your video now.

It was fun mostly... except the hill that turned into a ledge. That caught me out more then once. Other then that it was alright... as I expected from northern Michigan

Kitty kitty kicking tail.

@CineZoneYT along with not seeing shit, I wasn't much a fan of the 50inch trails

@@zombanator3000 as someone who usually rides on the 50 inch trails, I felt right at home haha

@CineZoneYT I feel ya, that section 4 was some fast stuff, the B/C section.... good stuff... but I can only deal with whoop sections for so long before my hands go numb.

@gmoney6595 they were on the back of my helmet but they don't stay very well and fell off... and if I grab another gear my 125 probably wouldn't even move. I'm slipping the clutch a lot.

125sx with a 10oz flywheel weight

Yea... apparently a lot of people rode right by him like he wasn't even there.... he didn't look very comfortable

@dannyboy8835 I usually try to keep it just under power valve opening, meaning I'll have power on tap, but usually I soon run out of RPMs in that gear... so if I think something fast is coming up I'll be a gear high and hope slipping the clutch is good enough

@@ryans47 he was definitely tied up good

We need more of that in the series. I saw a couple guys go down yesterday and people would just dust them on the ground. At least make sure they are ok. Good riding by the way, the clear cut section was so choppy and it was hot. I finished a few spots behind you in the overall

@ryans47 I try to remember to stop. But most times the adrenaline is high and it doesn't come to mind. Like when the guy crashed in front of me on lap one. Not sure if post race I should or shouldn't have stopped for him

Gotta get 'er screaming. Ain't moving on this thing unless it's making chainsaw noises. Just rebuilt the top end for the next race at Polka Dots

I hear ya. I was on edge the whole race waiting for the front to wash out into a tree

Yea... I only had the helmet since Thursday and got the gopro mounted Friday. So I didn't exactly have much test and tunr time

I peeled the transponder off my visor and put it on the helmet before I left the tree, along with putting the gopro into my water pack since that broke the sticky mount clean off

Every mudder teaches me I need to do more cardio

I get that, I was pissed about my wrist cause I drove 17 hours total to go do a race with my dad before he goes to hard enduros only. Between pt3 and pt4, I found out my wrist was being pinched off by my watch. After that was loosened, I was able to grip with the rest of my wrist. Then the bitching faded and my fastest lap was the last lap from pt5 and 6.

@@zombanator3000 Hey man, don't feel like I'm knocking you or anything, it takes a set of hangers on someone to even go out and participate in thia dangerous of a sport. I was just letting you know it just seemed like you wasn't blocking out that mental fear when you got to your turns and harder parts. Be honest tho the wreck that hurt your wrist, did it cause that fear of you wrecking mentally from your wreck till the end of the race? If I'm wrong I apologize, Your a good rider man need to have more faith and positivity in your riding and racing and clear all doubts it happens to everyone even the best of the best wreck man but they put it behind them quickly and don't even feel or remember they are in pain even tho they are hurt

@user-dh3kk2bu7k I didn't feel anything from the crash. But it did knock my noodle loose. Lost the high I get before a race starts. Then the crashes stay on my mind for a while... but with time, that'll probably fade. I don't take offense. If I wasn't up for critique of my riding, I wouldn't post raw unedited footage.

Or what?... ask questions if you'd like. I might have an answer for ya.

Hahaha that would be me! Thanks for sharing this

Didnt notice it till now, good stuff. Shame my gopro got wet through the race and I kept forgetting to wipe it.

I've tried that, and I'm currently trying Turtlewax Ceramic coating, it was good for Polka Dots, but I really should have reapplied it.

Sure was, shame my gopro didn't last for all of it. The last 2 laps I completed before the end were slimier and rutted

Was a blast and a slog, ate a brand new set of front brake pads

What place overall you get? I got 113th

@@zombanator3000 I got 144th overall but only because my clutch fried and locked the bike up last lap. My bike was the one parked on the turn by the corner and tabletop closest to the sign up/play ground. I placed 13th in the 24-34 class if the bike didn’t fuck up I would have hopefully done better but no worries I’ll see y’all fellas at 10 pines!

Wish it had a handlebar headlight though
