    are you making excusses arron? i recon choppa let his tyre down when no one was looking so he didnt have to try and keep up any more, '' cough cough'' yeah right it was good to have some one faster to chase, i think sloan enjoyed himself just quietly,

    No not at all my fault for not picking up on it earlier but it did handle a lot better with air in it. Sloans ment to be up here today going to have a look in at that KX500 which would be a lot a fun.

    Well, we arrived late (about 11:00), took off for a few laps, planned on doing one more lap about 2:00 and heading over to the tent to say hello but my mate decided to fall off his quad and knock himself out, ended up packing up and taking him to A&E.

    Might have better luck and meet you guys at Kimmys next month.

    these three are after a little adventure on the A loop .Went straight after the digger instead of right up the hill accross a couple of paddocks then near the old shed found a sneaky clay trap went from buzzing along in third to a dead stop in a bout a foot should have expected somthing when i saw the iron in the mud

    kimmys next month sounds good
    I'll have to be a bit more sociable feel a bit silly for not saying hi

    No worries mate I was amazed how easy you got your bike going after. considering the way we had to drag it out.

    Ye the hill was cool I found myself going up and down it trying different lines towards the end it had dried out a bit though.

    Second pic is of my son and mate trying the hill. They got thrown into the rut unfortunately! very wet then? The lone bike on the hill is me watching the fools waste all their energy man handling their bikes out! Older and wiser is me!!

    Choppa, 4 stroke and another made it up after a couple of goes. It was a bit later than that on our next loop after lunch and it was a bit dryer. But they managed to avoid that huge rut after exploring it during their first attempts and went up OK. So it can be done! and by KBers! Young ones though!

    i got up twice not quite on the track for the last corner but its not how you get to the top just as long as you can. I think out of the 4-5 laps we did everyone had there time being stuck.

    the ever reliable kdx the exaust had a big chunk of mud stuck in it to a bit of prodding soon fixed that



    I only had the one go at it bailed onthe way down and ended up stuck under my bike in a puddle lol so didnt try again
