The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Well not the type of BC that has been discussed lately, but it is a wee bit more dangerous.;) Did some playriding today with a few friends. Enjoy.

Holy smokes. That looks dangerous. Do you guys know the trail well? I haven't done any dirt biking, but do you counter-steer like in regular motorcycle?

I haven't ridden there a lot in the past year. So I don't really have it memorized. Even if I did the trail changes so much week by week with traffic. One thing that makes a good off road racer is the ability to constantly scan the terrain and look a few turns ahead.



I steer with either the front wheel like normal, but sometimes it is best to use the throttle and steer with the rear end....depends on the conditions and terrain.

Every time you shower down on the throttle it looks like that tunnel effect you see in Star Wars. Good god man it is amazing how fast your reactions must be.

I didn't have my phone when you texted in the a.m. We gotta put a fron tire on. I'm sure it can be done in the parking lot.



P.S. give me about 12 hours notice next time...
