    Outlaw

    Assuming it will be dirt bike only? I think it was 2004-2005 when I last rode at Outlaw. Great view from the 2nd uphill if I remember correctly. Always felt like long laps with some spots to catch your breath. Had a blast.

    Boot tech/advice

    Short story: For my riding boots I use Lysol and a boot dryer and it helps. HIGHLY recommend changing your socks. I noticed what makes the biggest difference is what type of sock you are wear (material). Throw any/every cotton sock in the trash or more specifically, your riding socks. All...

    RMATVMC bucks

    There has to be an easier way to process and fund the RM bucks. Not that it would have to be the ONLY way to get your RM bucks, but most of us have an "account" or username with RM. I wonder if they could just credit our account or something to that effect. They could completely avoid the...

    No more mudders?

    I'm not much a fan of mud races, but when the skies broke loose at the Battle at BC this past weekend (Saturday afternoon/evening), I lined up and raced. I think it was the 7.5 hours of scraping off mud and pressure washing everything that makes me "regret" it. In the end it was a blast, just...

    It makes sense to me now.

    Anyone that "sold" a bike to an inner city buyer only to get their truck windows shot out or have your bike stolen, there may be a chance it's ridin' dirty with that group. I want to add so many more comments, but will refrain. @GeorgiePorgie - sometimes you have to serve to miss a squirrel...

    KOC Wrap Up

    Had a blast over the weekend!! Can't believe we almost filled the gate in ATV Vet! Track was fun. I couldn't believe the SxS hitting the jumps. Definitely AWESOME to watch. Glad we made the drive. THANKS!

    Patellar tendon rupture

    Just keep up with the rehab/PT. If the PT tells you to do stretches or leg lifts, whatever exercise, do them consistently and never skip a morning or night "workout" session. I found the key to successful rehab is sticking to it and never "forgetting." I had a full Achilles rupture in March...

    Attn Quad riders.....

    I don't speak for the all the couch riders, but if the faces of the jumps are square and a clean approach to the jump, that's all I need. For everywhere else: the rougher, the better! You could never prep the straights, I wouldn't care. I don't want a paved highway. It's what separates the...

    Attn Quad riders.....

    The vast majority of quad guys do not care if bikes are on the track at the same time or during the same practice hours. We all support the same sport, the tracks, and ultimately, the same industry. I've been on tracks where the "quad practice" had a few big bikes involved. No one complained...

    Pymatuning first race of the year under our belt ,were you there and what did you think of it ?

    Art - I enjoyed the changes to the track and would agree with Georgie that more water would be great. You mentioned to me at the track the pump went out, so there wasn't a whole lot that could be done prior to bringing out the old pump. - The step up table it a neat feature. I am not...

    Race gas in NEO

    Pro Car is the cheapest in town. Call them up. Most of their fuel is in 55 gallon drums. I've gotten my C12 from them for a couple years. Baldwin sells VP. I am not sure if he has any in stock at the moment. There is a guy in Leroy just about where Carter Rd., Blair Rd. and Paine Rd. all...

    2014 LL Race Reports and Pictures

    For the ATV National, LL usually only had the one straightaway packed with sand. It was in the back by the pond before the left hander/off camber. Most everything else would turn up nice with some hard pack / some loomy.

    Open practice

    I fully understand the complaints 2 wheels have vs. 4. I think a track can have practice where we all can get along. Two recent situations at 2 different tracks: 1) I was at BC for open practice (with bikes) in late May or early June and by the end of the day, every corner had a ton (call it 5...
