[Buddy L]

Every one knows that the people with out numbers are in the Elite class, Unable to measure our vast "Flashness"

[vazza]

ill be trying to find some mud or a nasty section, busted left hand tank plastics on a husky, im not flash enough to have numbers....

Lol I don't have numbers. They're the ones from GNCC that you get given! I just havn't bothered to take them off yet ; ) They're partially waterblasted haha

[kezzafish]

Got me a leave pass for Sunday as that was the better track (not so much road).
I'm also going down to Fielding after DS for the daughters horse event and taking the bike. If any one can help with a couple of places to ride in the Manawatu area during the week that would be cool. Legally of course.

Hey Kessa. Must catch up for a loop.

Have you still not fixed those plastics mate?? jeezus

Been a while fellas, We'll be with a white transit near 3 ezy ups and some tarps. Should be able to find each other i recon. Leaving Wellys about 10am so should be able to suss a good spot near the endurocross and then have a few quiets then a few louds and then a few more.

Missed this!!!!

Kezza I didn't even see you there! Mind you, not sure you would have recognised me - Sarah didnt. She walked past me several times and I had a giggle as she didn't have a clue!
My hair is super short and super blonde now LOL

Did you get photo's this year?

I snapped some on the Saturday arvo stuff... but none out on the trails

[pete.ktm]

good ride, loved the volcanic plateau type terrain but could have done without the dust, and the fatality

you still wearing blue keeza? i think i rode past you in the tent area but it's been so long since you rode i wasn't sure, and you didn't have a canon in your hand.

Wearing rooted old black and white gear and black helmet. Didn't even take my camera which was an awesome change!

Dust though... jeepers. There were a couple moments where i came to a complete stop because i simply couldn't see the track in front of me.

Big ups to the twat that passed me on the final road section back to the pits on the wrong side of the barrels... choice cuz. I'd just taken my goggles off to cool down so it was nice to balance out the dust in my lungs with some in my eyes.

Had a blast but missed the tacky mud of usual. We should ask nick reader to run it in winter next year.

Yeah I didn't see anyone from here. We need a better system for meeting up lol

[vazza]

Had such a blast.

Ended up riding down that river which was close to the Erzberg section. Hit it up with skinner, kp, cp & caleb. Was so much fun! Pipe is a little dented though..

Also scaled up some gnarly mountain/hill which was getting 'pretty' close to Ruapehu. Was awesome, spectacular views. Kinda off trail, will definitely do more of that next year. Might take some extra gas though haha.

Great weekend. Didn't enjoy the dust on Saturday though!

Had an off on a random corner on Sat, still not sure what I did etc, but smacked my knee a bit which swelled up nicely. Got a few cool-packs from the friendly medical staff which helped.

Paid my $20 to the suspension setup guy who turned out to be a real nice guy. Turned out the pre-load on my YZ125 was all stuffed up. Needless to say he fixed it up and it completely transformed the bike. I could turn corners now :P

Sunday was excellent, probably due to the new bike setup Best $20 I've spent on the sport.

[thecharmed01]

I reckon....
We were camped out opposite where the enduro and high jump were.....

I've changed bike and gear and hair and shit... am I still me? LOL
Must be time I had a photo of them really.... shame I'm the only one round with a camera
I seem to take the pictures, never get any of me

Kezz, do I have your number? And what Trail rides are you doing next month?

we rode up the river on sunday with skinner, kp, ktmboy and young d-tour, was a blast good to get off into some more challenging terrain, lil bit hard work on the 450 though. i loved it just need to work on my fittness more.
