[cheese]

Doesn't help when Loyyd keeps flciking sand at you!

[chop]

The axeman i think it is.. Thats Ktmboys baby, its an awsome track love the logs and the steep drop Husky thrives on the slow tight stuff

We where there from 11 till 4 or so. Jeepers it was packed couldn't find any of you guys. Just time to clean the bikes at home before dark. Was a good day. Found some quite good flowing blue and red tracks way out back. That bloody hill on the red track off the convict was a laugh got stuck first time up. Then later did a monster arse off the the bike completely flipping over me in the super bowl as well. No injuries and no breakages though. Later in the day when getting tired, tried the big dipper, the sand was just to soft and by the time id pulled the bike out I was stuffed. I like the woods trails but that soft deep sand sucks!
Hope this weather keeps up can't wait to get some clay under the wheels!
Did any guys go to ThunderX whats it like??

I loved tht track of Tony's just off the convict I think? has a kick ass little hill climb in it.

Yes I would agree the Sand Pit is getter better every time I go.

Went there on Sat for about 4 hours. The combinations of tracks are just perfect. Fast flowing to tight single track.
Really enjoyed the Criminal and Wood Chopper tracks.
On the fast flowing ones you can get up some serious speed……all those trees flicking by make you think this will not be flash if it goes pear shaped, but then it’s just to much fun to slow down.

Big thumbs’ up to the guys at the Sand Pit. You guys have put a lot of effort into this place and it just gets better and better.

Ah yes. But I always have it in the back of my head that what goes around comes around.
Was a bloody good shot though.

We GPS ed the tracks again on Saturday with the exception of the freshly skidded tracks and its really quite a marked difference even from 6 months ago.

Still, looking at the amount of spare area still to be utilised I reckon 6 tracks a year and we may be finished in 5 years.

You need to name them for us please Ktm boy? Convict, Twister etc I get lost everytime there. Mind you that happens on the way to the bog in the middle of the night at home as well!! LOL!!
You ever out there I've asked a couple of times when signing in on a Sunday?

Really, you should of brought a gasser. Mine went up no probs Sunday

[Reckless]

I don't think its the bike???

[Rupe]

lol, nah I doubt it, was prob the whoops on the run up. Very nearly collected the fence at the bottom with my effort. How was the new 200, any real differance or feels the same to ride????

Hit it with some momentum and keep it pinned its the middle of winter and the sand is good. I have no problems getting up there in Summer when the sand IS soft on the 200.

Was the tired end of the day you know when the bike steps out and you think oh shit, where earlier is just fun when it does that! I think the rider lacked 100% commitment by that time. And my son went first and by the time he got stuck and dug a few big holes out, I couldn't make it past that spot. My other mate tried on the 200 who had made it through first on his 450 Husaberg and couldn't do it either. I'll be back though, do it earlier and first next time. Its on my list of lifes challenges now!

Secondly the two bikes feel pretty much the same. I left the newer one how I got it to see how different it was. It had just come out of the shop ( I got the receipt) so it was set up factory. Now I'll fit a gripper seat cover, back off the power valve a fraction, new tyres (they are rooted) and fit bar risers and it will be how we like them.

I'd trade 1/2 my horse power for 10% of your experience mate!! LOL! Show off!

my technique for the dipper is 3rd gearshitloads of throttle, as much momentum as you can get, and shitloads of clutch if you need to.

if you stop your fucked. lol
