Great riding with you today Jim and thanks for taking the time to snap a few piccies - enjoyed our coffee stop too mate! Hell it was even fun caning the KLX down the motorway after you!

Yep have to agree it was nice to have an afternoon ride for a change and how lucky we are to have that place on doorstep to do that - for free!

Thanks Aslan for organising the little "quiet tootle" - could be a fun thing to slot in every so often in an afternoon!!!!

That sounds like a serious adrenalin rush! Not sure I have the cahunas to do it in the dark if its wet after seeing all that clay and rock though!

Stayed at the Orange hut a few months ago. Like a prison cell, but kept the rain off.

Some real good riding in there when you get off the main tracks. Need more of a dirt bike for that though.

Magic place. Me and a mate used to go in mid week, when no one else is around.

Yeah for some reason I can picture you in there tearin round on a dirt bike on little gnarly side tracks!

A magic place for sure - lookin forward to going back even if some of the steep loose downhill on the main track is a bit scary for a nana like me!

Not really if Balrog comes along, have u seen his HID lamps?

Well there is not need of going fast, I've only done Mountain biking at dusk (almost no light) and is actually not really worst since u don't get scared of what u don't see

Going back is what definitely will help u loose the scare factor of it I got much much better since first times I was in there. Last time didn't even dropped the bike and went waaay faster ... practice is the key ...

Yeah going on any track for the first time is still quite daunting for me - not knowing what's round the next corner etc etc, but mostly its just getting the courage up a bit on the loose downhill sections I need to work on! Definitely felt better the second half of yesterday when up on the pegs for most of that and giving it a bit more throttle - puts me out of my comfort zone a bit but bike seems to like that more!

Standing does work for me very well for me, the bike can kick all over the place but u don't really notice it. Even sometimes when it goes sideways I can just put a foot down while leaving the other on the peg and regain balance.

Those guidelines I posted sometimes ago do really helped me, of course it needs to be matched with practice since once u have the theory u need to learn how to apply it.

Yeah I'm trying to start putting into practice the skills on the DSR dvd, its hard but at least I'm trying! And I am starting to like the standing up business!

[pampa]

If u r interested we could catch up sometime and go through some of the drills (on the bike of course), I can't teach anything to anybody based on my skills but have read and payed attention to them ...
