Desert Storm 2010

[Midget200]

We got pretty lost many years ago to a bit to get back on track. There is a river between where you were and the desert road. Had to cross it on sand blast a few years back claimed a few.

For the guy complaining about slow riders dont hesitate to pass make sure ur arm is lower then theres that way if you come togeather your arm will lift his and make them vear of track. Works every time and its there own fault if they cant hear my bike coming they are deff. Maybe a bit mean but when helmets go on there is no friends

Thanks for making me aware of your 'tactics' in passing women! What a hero! We waited for the 'fast' guys to go before we took off as we do 'care' about other riders and don't want to annoy anyone! Were you showing your talents at the high jump or the enduro??? It was a trail ride and I paid my money just like you! What I don't understand is that if you're so good how come you have to pass us 2 or 3 times, oh yeah first making sure your arm is lower than mine, that way if you come together your arm will lift mine and make me via off track. Dickhead! Come out to Woodhill for a blast with us, would love to meet you in person!!!!

My first Desert Storm - absolutely loved it - can't wait until next year. Found Saturday a little challenging in places but great fun, especially the second hill after the staircase. Learnt my lesson this time that spending an hour trying to help other riders up hills is exhausting - and means I'm shattered for the rest of the ride. Also a bit perplexed by the very young riders out in their own - spent some time helping one up the staircase and wondered where the parents were? But found chivalry is alive and kicking on the DS - I was dithering around trying to pick my bike up, when a passing rider practically threw his bike down to come and help me pick mine up! What a legend! Wearing pink trousers definitely has its advantages. Sunday was fantastic, only wish I hadn't been so tired from the day before. And I'm sorry to say that I now really hate quads - why do people ride them? Hard to pass and then go and get stuck everywhere in everyones way!

How does this ride compare to the tussuck buster?
Is it harder or about the same as i am looking at doing it if my leg heals in time.
What is it like if its raining.

Tussuck is the bomb! It's got so many tracks that you can be the only ones out there for ages without anyone coming past. There are huge open parts for people to pass. You don't want to miss it! It's organised brilliantly, really social! Lots and lots of river crossings. I'd put on a few pictures from last year for you but can't see with the new format how to do it! There's no little icon there!

They're opening on Friday at 1.00 pm to 4, from memory! It's so much fun!!!

Kids are easy to spot but if im stuck behind some dork on a large bike (450) and he wants to hold me up then he had it coming.

Basicly to me and my mates a trail loop is a over size mx track and its there to be raced on that why the loops i do say expert not novice.

My self i spend planty of time helping set up trail rides for kids.

i think i may have helped you at one stage, i stoped and helped people that were in a dangerous place's on down hills and blind corners.
yess some of us faster guys do pass the slower people alot of times and belive me its not by choice, as like many we have mates that are slow too so we have to wait for them, but riding at thier pace is a real pain in the arse specially when you get back to the pits and you havent even broken a sweat and its easier to let them ride at thier own pace and not push hard and crash.

No it wasn't you - it was a guy on a KTM. And I wasn't in a dangerous spot - before even attempting to pick up my bike I always make sure I drag it to the side of the track to get it out of the way - I may be blond - but I do have half a brain!

I think I saw you go past when we were stopped for pics by the MX track - thought you were someone I knew for a sec, not a ton of girls around on 125 KTMs

mx eh ...you act like that on the track ?..im sure GONK would have something to say about it

Where are your pics Kezza?
Am keen as to take a peek at them when you get a chance to put them on your site!

I had a goodie and the boys had a blast. Was just taking pics and kinda failed on Sunday... got too drunk and couldn't will myself out of the cosy van on Sunday morning so didn't even manage to pick up the camera and walk the track. Got about 400 on Sat near the end of the main loop.

Highlight for me was the press pass for the endurocross. Got so close to that river jump and very wet. was all worth it for the pics though... this was my favourite

How do you know this so call dork on a 450 is not just a learner, he/she might have just crashed, have some thing wrong with the bike.
some people have not had the chance to learn as a kid so get over yourself and stop being the fuckwit you seem to be showing us.
if you do set up trial rides for kids you are not setting a good example for new riders.
