Sandpit March 1st pix

[clmintie]

Grace and I had an absolute blast today at the Sandpit, tracks were simply superb... :first: Best $40 I've ever spent.. :headbang::banana:

I spent the day cruising around on the KDX with all my camera gear hanging off my neck. 7kg of swinging weight makes for interesting counter steering, that's for sure.. :crazy:

Logan showed Grace all the out of the way, under used tracks, her speed improved heaps through the day, thanks to Logan... :cool:

Cool to meet up with so many KB'ers, too many to name....

Any way here's a few of my favorite pix, will post a few more after I've cleaned up...

Fantastic day Tony and Logan, thanks..... :D

We were out there today also. Mint conditions. We parked up by the motox track as there was no parking in the main area. Saw your car, but you guys must have been out actually riding :P

[krad_nz]

Last pic... someone go for a swim? :)

[green machine]

Awesome Phil.....me and Hamish(the recipient of that long overdue roost)pissed ourselves laughing all the way home.....had a blast.Cheers to Ktmboy and Redrider for helping us out with our downed team member.....i'm just about to find out what damage he has done to himself

Yeah, he saw me, gunned it to wheelie through the puddle, but as the rear wheels hit the water, the deceleration brought the front down too fast = instant somersault and drowned quad...... He came up laughing/gasping.... :doh:

Let us know how he is, is he on KB? Can't remember his name (blenheimers...) but nice guy, we park near him often at Ardmore. Must say he looked sore.... :shit:

Nah he's not on here(Dean).....at this stage they're keeping him in overnight,was still waiting on Xray results but they suspect broken ribs,possible a small puncture to the lung and possible ruptured spleen....will know for sure tomorrow.....but you're right, he was pretty sore

[Ktmboy]

Thanks for this clmintie,

Yes, it was a awesome day. Definitely one to remember for different reasons. Well heres a couple.

6 breakdowns/tows
2 ambulances (we have only had 4 in the last 18 mths, yet we have had three this week)
2 extra needing to go to A & E, plus a couple of plasters.
Funniest thing was that I phoned for an ambulance and get a freaking fire engine coming out. Jeez, I hope they don't send an ambulance when the forest is on fire:bash:

What was today...ground hog day?

great pics clmintie. talented:yes:

[green machine]

Confirmed from Dean...4 broken ribs,4 cracked ribs and a punctured lung.....spleens ok,so he'll be out of action for a while

[KTMDad]

Saw you comming out of the convict trail with your camera bag clmintie, was wondering what you had in there! Quite a counter weight you had swinging there. I also had a great day out there, meet some great people including ktmboy and cave weta, also had the best ride following my 8yr old on his kx65 through the convict trail (twice) I'm now in the market for a helmet cam cause I'd love to show people how great it is to watch all the tips I've been giving him over the years all come out on one trail! He bounced out of rut's dodged roots and kept his little butt OFF the seat the whole way! orsum day that I'm still buzzing about!

[clmintie]

A few more...............

[clmintie]

and more...............

[clmintie]

Last one for now....

This is the result of hitting water at speed and collecting the handle bars on your way past.....Just a shirt, no chest protector.... Ouchy :doctor::no:

[tnarg]

Awesome pixs. So did anyone practice on the logs and did you get any photos?

[Yamahama]

Yep, that was me making a fantastic overtaking move on a kawasaki... was worth the roost haha.

[clmintie]

Awesome pixs. So did anyone practice on the logs and did you get any photos?

Didn't see anyone on the trials course the couple of times I got up there and I ran out of time, was supposed to just nip up to the Sandpit for a couple of hours with the camera, Grace talked me into taking her, the rest is history. We ended up getting away about 5pm... :rolleyes: Bloody good fun tho.....

Yeah that's it....fun but hard work on your bike, have to pretty much keep it full throttle to keep from bogging down it the soft sand......lots of screaming bikes that sound like they're about to detonate:Punk:
