To a lot of us its just another condition that we have to adjust to and if you are getting thrown off 4 times on one track then figure out how to conquer it.
BT was out when it was soft a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Take some cement pills and harden up will ya.

Surely Dirt biking is not just about riding in ideal conditions. Now thats boring.
We're all going to Maramarua tomorrow for a mud fest.

Sandpit is open tomorrow, closed Tuesday, open Wednesday.

howd you fine the track up until the stair case

Well we went to Maramarua today and...it was freakin hard. I've never fallen off so much and there are more than a few bruises to prove it.

Point is even tho it wasn't my ideal terrain it was a bloody neat experience(although I have been riding there for a few years now) and I've definitely got some re training to do for mud riding so we will be hitting all the wettest rides in the next few months.

Up hills are not to bad but I struggled on some of the uncontrolled downhill desents.
The track up the stairs claimed me for no other reason except that there was a quad towing another up and they came back down backwards rapidly and took me out. Had to laugh.

Man used to love riding the sandpit anytime...haven't been able to ride for 18 months, due to surgery going wrong. It is like torture not riding. So I say make the most of it, because you never no when it could be all gone..
