Netra Paradox 2024 C-Super Senior 4th Place
This race was a little crazy for me, I just didn't feel smooth at all. A lot of Fumbles. Although I was second at the hole shot, I slid out on a slippery rock and got my leg stuck by the handlebars. I apologize to all the riders that might have been hung up because of that. At one point I flipped over a rock and my bike landed on top of me. I apologize for the swear...
00:57 Brian trying to take me out (One day I will pass this guy, One day)
2:10 Going down and handlebar getting stuck in my pants, I've fallen and can't get up. Wrecked a brand new pair of pants.
3:43 At least I'm not the only one that wipes out on a slippery rock
27:25 Bumping into Todd, Pretty funny the way he turned back
29:10 Todd going down under the pressure. (This guy is awesome)
43:40 Almost lost it over this little jump
1:01:29 Went head over heals on this rock, bike lands on top of me... Ouch

I had a great start but fell soon after which put me back a bit. My front end seemed like it wouldn't stick and kept feeling like it was about to wash out. Not too sure why. For some reason my Go-Pro quit around 35 minutes. My battery is still 55%. A bit of a mystery. The thumbnail would have been a great video if I had looked up and recorded him jumping my bike.

This course was awesome, a lot of single track, no passing but very little dust and no mud. Perfect day for a race. What a great job the club did on this track. I almost lost 2nd place by 2 seconds at the finish. And at the same time lost to 1st place by 18 seconds at the finish.

This was the absolute best course of the year (in my opinion). I battled #586 pretty much the entire time, I was 1st briefly which felt great until I crashed. Ultimately he took the win. Great course, Perfect day. My son is the one in a wheelchair and he had one of his best days out. No Humidity. All around AWESOME!!!! Correction 26th C-Overall not 48th

This was a fun course, although it was extremely dusty, luckily I got a good start, I did get stuck on the sandy hill, got passed by a couple bikes but ended 7th, I'm happy to have finished the race... will see you at the next one. PS. Apologies for spelling Appoligies wrong... Correction 50th C-Overall not 65th

1st Race back since I broke my leg about 8 weeks ago. Felt pretty good but cautious. Very technical track for me. A Lot of rocks and slippery as all heck. But as always, feels great to finish. Was shocked to see the white flag for the 3rd lap..

Overall it was a great day, for all the rain we had, the track was surprisingly a lot dryer than I would have expected. Thank you to the Pathfinders Club and the Army Corp of Engineers for getting this race to happen.

First race after a shoulder injury, I have a tear on my Rotator Cuff so I need to keep my arm low and not over extend it in a crash. I stayed in back of the pack on the start to avoid any pileup. Finished 12th out of 29. This was a brutal race with 15 riders that DNF. I'm going so slow, this might be the most boring race you ever watched... just sayin

I avoided a terrible crash before the first corner which is the thumbnail, and on the fourth corner I fell down and was pretty much dead last... made it to 14th on the 1st lap... 2nd lap I fell and my chain derailed, It got locked up in the front sprocket. I was done for the day.. At almost 51yrs old I think I might go into the Super Senior class, a bit safer. This is my second attempt to make ...

Be Gentle. I just started riding again after 17 years. And I just got my Bike 2 months ago ... I was probably the oldest guy in my class at 50 ... never too old. This is also my first GoPro, and there are definitely some adjustments I'd like to make on my next video ... like angling the camera up more.
Nice riding Bill! That new bike is sweet !
I'm sorry Bill.. it happened so fast.. see you at the next one.
Are you kidding me, that made for a great photo. I wouldn’t trade any of this for the friendships I have found through harescrambles
Awesome track, very nice video quality, I was the guy parked next to you in the green tundra, it was nice talking with you in the AM. Hopefully see you at Barnes in October
Hey there Mack, It was very nice talking to you both. It was definitely a great course. And picture perfect weather for it. Absolutely see you at Barnes...
Nice!👍💛💛💛💛
Great riding Bill ! Congrats on 3 podiums in a row !! Way to go !
Was def a great race!!
I was Thomaston dam todwy
Congrats on another podium!! Well done buddy !!
Eduardo, thank you ..... ... I didn't see you there.. will you be at next race
@@billg3903 It’s more than 3 hours away each way, so I skipped. I am planning to do Woodchopper. Hope to see you there !
What ages are included in Super Senior?
Super Senior is 50 years old or older, then Masters is 58 (with a possible rule change of 60) years or older and Golden Masters is 65 years or older (I believe)
Fantastico
Fantastic race
Would you mind sharing what model GoPro you use and what setting? Do you film in 4K? How do you upload it in youtube to get such a great resolution? Do you do anything special? I have mine set at 1080, but it looks kind of blurry on youtube compared to your video. Thanks!
Yes... I have a Go-Pro 12 My settings are 16:9/4k/30fps/W . If you are watching on a computer or tv you can watch my videos in 4k... not sure the quality on a phone...
Nice job coming from back in the pack to grab 2nd. Nice lines!
thank you ... and 586 on the Kawasaki also from back of the pack got 1st... we were battling most of the race...
I came in 7th. We swapped spots at 24:00, 27.04, 34.10, 116.06 and then again off camera at some point. Between the lack of fitness and the GD roots that was a doozy. Nice work!
That is too funny ... I looked up each time you gave me... back and forth the whole race... those roots SUCKED!!!!!
let me ask you something... at 116.06 how did you feel... I couldn't even hold on any more... but you went by me smooth and steady like you were gonna do another 2 laps...Im just curious if at that point in the race, if you were at all exhausted?
@@billg3903I was smoked! If we had another lap I seriously would have considered taking a long water break (beer at the truck)😂
jet your bike better
Give me an idea what you mean, I’m fairly new at this. Please explain why you think it should be different. And what exactly do I need to do? Thank you in advance.
Great job it looks like a tough track at any speed.
it was tough for me for sure... but happy to finish..
Great Job man !! I finished 10th. I am the green Kawasaki in front of you for the first few minutes. You passed me at 25:54. I took a tumble in that section.... and a few more later on... but who didn't right? Sooo slick...
You are sooo right man, I was so slippery and the roots were all at an angle. Rock Sections were sharp. We stayed together for a bit of time for sure... falling takes a half tracks worth of energy from me... good job with 10th.. finishing is a victory in itself.. hey and great job at the start...
@@billg3903 I agree. Finishing is a victory. This is only my 2nd year doing Harescrambles. I love it. I think this was the toughest one after Indian Ridge (so hot). Hopefully I see you at Martin's Mayhem !
Nice work hanging in there and keeping a calm, controlled approach. Is this a 300?
@@sqzeplay thank you, this is a 2017 250xc
Fast and flowy
I could not seem to get a break, it was one punch after another the entire race. Either it was rocks or roots, slippin and sliding all over the place. Probably the toughest track this year "for Me" Not a smooth section in the entire race. Even the field area was weird. Im not sure about fast or flowy but so happy to have finished, and 6th isnt too shabby either... thank you for watching...
wow
Look at that adorable cheerleader at 30:34!! She sure must be special! (wink, wink) ... Or maybe she's your stalker! Nice job, Stud!
You are the best cheerleader ever. I couldn’t do this without you. What’s for dinner? lol
@@billg3903 Not sure yet, but hopefully some chocolate eclairs are included somewhere in there ... Happy 18 Year Anniversary!!!! xoxo!
Bill you are a joy to watch....And courteous.....
Thank you for that ....I figure it’s all for fun, don’t want to take it too seriously. 😊
Very clear video I liked the angle actually. What a tough but fun race, it was my first time doing this one, you and I were only five seconds apart!
@@mackames1603 thank you for checking out the video. I checked the times to see where you were. I’m assuming you are DPS (initials) for privacy. Definitely a good track. I got my butt kicked on the hill climbs on the 3rd lap. Looking forward to the next race.
#197. Some of the hill climbs were tough with all the silt on the rocks. Definitely stoked about the next one and martins because last year it got shortened and it’s been postponed twice. Thanks for the videos keep up the good work!
Good job Bill, you won in my book
Thank you Mac...Tuff course... just glad I finished..
Looked pretty slick with those exposed roots!
It was super slick, some riders were zippin past me like it was dry and smooth.
@@billg3903 yeah you'll see same thing in my race videos. :D
Were you whistling to yourself towards the end? Excellent course, real good riding, some nice line choices too. Giod job!
Yes I was whistling. Trying to keep my mind off how tired I was. Thank you for the compliments.
nice riding
Slow as a dog but stayed on my bike... I guess that counts... LOL
What part of CT is that place located? I live in Stamford.
This is the next town over from Waterbury, Take I95N to Rt8N, About 1hr and 10 minutes from Stamford
This was a fun one! Great seadon opener 🤘
Yes it was! As slow as I was, my goal was to just stay on the bike and chug along. Fell once but for the most part got through the course without too many hiccups.
Merry Christmas!!!! We ride again soon ! 😎🤘🤘🤘🤘
Where is that lot located in the dam trails? I’m in Trumbull and I’ve never been on any trails. All we have are streets down here. Also how much is it to register a bike?
As soon as you cross the top of the thomaston dam off Hill Rd Go to the end and go through the gate. Registration is not expensive it’s the idea of paying the taxes if you bought it used. This year was a hard year to justify registration and taxes if you only use it for the thomaston dam dir to the number of times it has been closed to riders due to flooding. But on a normal year it’s a great legal place to ride. When it is open, there is usually someone from the army corps of engineers checking registration.
@@billg3903 Thanks super new to Forrest riding and trying to find good spots it’s been tough because I’m a solo rider and no one has interest around me.
I live on other side of ct but would make the trip , do you have to be registered ?
yes
they are currently closed for repairs... until further notice
@@billg3903 ok well during regular season is it registered dual sports or what do you have to have to ride
pretty much any bike that is registered can go there... @@Nun-ton-offroad
@@Nun-ton-offroad it can be dual sport, motocross, enduro as long as its registered in CT it is good to go
Sucks to hear about your shoulder. Lets link at the next one and ill show you some workouts to help. My gopro broke this race i got all mixed up with the edit you were right my video was of rock crusher! Thanks Buddy
I waited by your bike at Mohawk at the starting line till the last second. I thought something happened to ya. I have a full tear and hoping that surgery will make me like new again. I raced super senior at Mohawk. Got 3rd. Out of 24. Lol. I’m 51 so I guess that’s where I belong but when I get my surgery I’m coming back to c-250. And you are going to be on my radar for sure.
Are there any gpx files for routes? I'm looking to get there for the first time & I'm a solo rider. So I want to have an idea of the trail before I get there.
I believe there is a map at the parking lot. I don’t know of any fils for the gps. But in this day and age I’m sure there is. I could try to make one actually. If you haven’t already, go on thomaston dam riders on Facebook. Lots of people In group and possibly someone that has the trails recorded.
What state forest is this?
This is someone's farm... private property
You made allot of mice passes. What position did you finish at?
I went from dead last because of a crash at the beginning and I was 14th at the end of my first lap..... then my chain bound up in the front sprocket on lap 2 ... I did not finish the race
Those trails one way?
yes.. they are ... high side or left side going down... and right side or lower side coming back..to parking area..
Your and your friend are carrying some nice speed! We’re you making new trails at the end?
@@Delprete2 thank you .. no new trails... pretty much the same trails for the last 30 years. Pretty nice place to ride..
Hey Billy I am on your side, go Billy go I know you can beat those whipper snappers, YEY. My money is always on you as they say🥳🤑💯🏍️🎉🏁
Hell yeah! Not too shabby!!
