seabee280z Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hey congrats phil , I have been racing dirt bike since I was 5 and now 35 and 1996 I switched to racing quads. I have 2 crf450's (bikes) and 2 yfz 450 quads here is a pic of the quads would hae to load pics of the bikes. be careful it can be addictive and you will find yourself taking more chances. I will have to load some pics for you biggest double i have hit so far is 135 peak to peak on a quad. my bike is to the left and has almost 18,000 in it (including bike) and the blue one is the one my wife races. this was befor the bike was completely set up. Here is my 4yr( sorry 5 and a half yr old) old at zman race way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Nice phil. What class are you running. The biggest double i ever did was in the 140 ish range. Well it was the take off from one double and the take off to another double a few of us where making into a huge triple. Lets just say that jump broke my sternum in 2 places and tore my rotator cuff. Dang i need to get back into racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-Z Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Congrats, but is it really motocross, heck back in the day there were 3 motos to race, every track had a water hazard, corners were not all bermed, jumps were not as big and important, 5 inch suspension in the front and 3 in the back, hand on helmet starts, and the bikes were bultaco, montesa, greeves, ajs, maico, cz, husky, sachs, penton, you could race and win on a stock bike. Shows how old I was when I raced motocross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big-phil Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 I raced at an old school MX track. Its been the same for 20 years?? So no there are no huge triples. The biggest jump is 60ft?? Its a table top with a "If you come up short your not in the hospital" landing. this is the track: http://video.muckstick.com/play.php?vid=185 not me shooting the video. I raced the beginner 250 class, so its not like I'm the next James Stewart or anything. I'm getting better, and I'll move to the over 30 250, or novice 250?? Its so much fun I'll miss it when my car is done and I don't care about the bike....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Cannondale quad but never raced it, I have a big street bike back ground but not much time in the dirt. But I sold the stunt bike:icon9: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabee280z Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 cannondale are awesome bikes. I too have been in the street bike scene. There came a day that I had to call it quits no fear and could not resist temptation was not a good mix. My wife wanted me to stunt in a controlled environment lol whatever that meant but anyway I made the call myself to get off the street and now back to the z car. last bike I had was my tl1000r and before that one was the gsxr 1000 the tl was the best to me . Anyway be safe out there getting hurt happens fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
