    yes i love TT type tracks as well, a good times scramble track in a rolling paddock is awesome, but then i can not get around a supercross track like i used to either, when you get a rythem lane, or a big jump done for the first time is pretty cool

    Funny that. Most of my scars etc have come from me showing people just how wonderful I am on a motorcycle, when obviously I'm not!

    i love this and these guys look like local club amateur riders. something we need to do a bit more of here in NZ, spectator friendly as well.

    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    actaully, James could learn something from that video,

    the guy on the kawasaki that was leading the guy with the camera, protected the inside very well, cutting off the corners so the guy with the camera can not get an inside line, at one stage he leaves the door open he squares him up and keeps the position,

    also to add, the guy with the camera also was checking that no one was coming up the inside on a number of occasions,

    Ahh... but the guy behind lost momentum on a number of occasions by squaring up the corners, there by not puting on as much pressure. Two schools of thought here. The hare and the turtle (ten thousand buffalo girls go round the out side, round the outside)
    Good find all the same. Now if only the major distributors could contribute we could maybe put in a track like that. Outdoors of course.
    The track didn't look overly gnarly(looks can be decieving tho) and the essense should be on safety as opposed to carnage.
