Cool clips!!

Some very nice riding and also a couple of intresting mistakes. Intresting terian, i liked the river crossings and the bit where someone was going up a river, the man made obsticles like the tyres looked quite a bit different too.

Whats the weapon of choice in Japan? I saw a couple of legendary Orange bikes :thumbsup: and i even think some XR's!!

They get big bonuses 2 times a year ...and live at home ... So a lot of people have 02/04 Hondas , yamaha ..You dont really see suzuki much, and the 125 classes are packed.

One thing I will give em is everyone is equal no matter what u ride, I remember watching weedy boy ( skinny liittle fella with milk bottle bottom glasses, the type of fella you would tease at school )

Well out on the track this fella was Awesome... his bike ... a ratty CRM250 ... he was clearing a tripple where nobby here was dropping out of the sky like a stone !

and the tracks are different, right now ( summer ) they are like concrete.. you could almost run road tyres on them!

Contrast that with NZ .. See picture from old chch cross country !

Me I really dont know what I am going to do next year .... I want to do one series and on big event ( such as an Enduro) we wil see!!!
