    Deer hunting thread 2012-13

    I am trying out the app Time to Hunt. It was free and figured no harm in giving it a shot. As to the Urban areas that some have posted. I hunt on our villages property. So far the deer I have gotten haven't traveled to far after hitting them. I usually won't even take a shot if it's more...

    Deer hunting thread 2012-13

    I don't like the ground blinds (hut style) as they are too short for me at 6'1. I only bow hunt. The curtain styles are pretty good. When I hunt from the ground I just find some natural cover (fallen tree, etc...). Have had good luck this way. Haven't gotten into the trail camera's yet...

    50+ or 2 stroke?

    Being 50 now, part of what you say is true. As long as the jumps aren't ramps that can't be rolled or jumped with a fairly nice landing, then most of us older guys wouldn't like it. I've been to Beans and the jumps there are good. Actually a great improvement from the last time I was there...

    Thoughts and prayers for Joe Rice #23

    We were sitting there watching him clear the table top and the next jump with a feeling that he was going to try and clear them all. It sounded like you didn't hook up well on the take off and my son said, "needs more throttle". With no one out on the track at the time, it was really eerie...

    Beans open practice 6/10

    Very good initial work on the GP course. Some sections were tight, but with a HS background, it wasn't factor. Had a lot of fun breaking in the course and being back on the 300xc! As there weren't a lot of bikes out in the woods, so dust was not a factor. If you had two or three bikes...

    A trip to RedBud and a new hero, Shane McElrath #701

    Should just get rid of the "stock" and "c" classes. Make all classes modified. Or have two different mod classes. One for just suspension work and one for any type of mods. Better yet do it by income and support $$$$ received. So glad we got out of it and just ride for fun now. Too much...

    Vet Day II at Beans Sunday with GP Demo

    Shouldn't be that bad with the heat. Just go at your own pace. I am 50 and can't wait. Looking forward to getting into the trees!

    Vet Day II at Beans Sunday with GP Demo

    I have it marked on my calender and will be down. Will piss off my 19yr old that he can't ride. Then open riding after the 3rd session?

    Help Needed - Plan to buy KTM50

    First off, what is the age of your rider? The KTM Pro Jr. or Cobra Jr. is for the 4-6 class and the Pro Sr. is for the 7-8yr olds. If you plan on running AMA events, get the bike that is for your rider's age group. We ran KTM's in the PeeWee's and had friends that rode Cobra's. Not a lot of...

    Kawasaki KX 85 question for any Kaw experts

    There would not be a big enough difference between the 2010 to the 2012 to worry about. The RM and KX are good bikes and very versatile for both mx and hare scrambles. The KTM is for a little more experienced rider and a bigger rider.

    Seattle Supercross Round 15 and Weekly Updates

    A stinger is usually use to describe the resulting impact to the head that pinches nerve in the neck that ends up feeling like being stabbed between the shoulder blades and one or both arms at temporarily paralyzed (spg?). Hurts like son of a b*tch. Had this type of injury from football...

    Old CRA Track in East Palestine, Ohio?

    Pirates use to ran hill climbs back in the 70's on a regular basis. Use to be an AMA sancation track then as well. They usually ran us down the amatuer hill and thru the creek under the entrance bridge. Harbor Woods was a pretty cool track back in the day. Last rode there in 1979.

    Why all the ktm bashing?

    I was riding Husky's and KTM's back in the late 70's and once I got back to riding, it was back on KTM's. The improvements over just the last 5yrs have been leaps and bounds. Use to only see KTM's at off road races. Now they are nearly everywhere. The bashing comes from a lack of knowledge...

    4-4-12 WED night Practice at Smith Road Raceway

    Nice improvement to the lips on the table tops from last week. The layout had a nice flow to it and once the surface water was beat into the dirt it shaped up nicely. The new jump at the top of the uphill towards the bowl/banked turn will be fun once I get some more time on the bike. Wasn't...
