Put fuel in the KX and it started running out around the bowl gasket. DAMN. Oh well, Husky it is then. I just put my mousse'd wheels on there to try out.

Kirk came over around 10 today and we did a few laps of my loop, then played with my little log. Kirk spotted a bigger log nearby and decided I should drag it out and set it up for practice. It was a big longer than we thought, but my tractor just barely lifted it and I placed it next to my other log. The log is about as tall as the front wheel on a dirt bike. Kirk made crossing it look easy, so I tried and wasn't as graceful but I survived. We did it a few more times taking it slow and stopping with the skid plate balanced on the log and then continuing over. Realistically, on a trail ride, that's probably how I'd cross it.

Anyways, later Joe came over and we rode around a good bit more until he broke his kick starter off again. I've got more video on the GoPro, and I think Kirk has a good bit of video too. Here's the quick shot from my phone on the VERY FIRST log crossing of the new log where Kirk made it look so easy.

Here's Jed's first run over the log recorded by my phone.



I'll have to pull the stuff off the garmin camera to see what I've got.

Kirk going over the safer, easier way that we'd probably most likely do in an actual trail ride.

Looks like a good loop with a good mix of stuff. When are you doing this again?
