DAMN practice riding

[juddspaintballs]

Short notice.

I've got 10 acres. One field is a slight uphill and great for learning how to wheelie and practicing wheelies and stoppies on. I just mowed it today, so the grass is all low. I also have a reasonable loop made up that includes a winding grass track through the other field with a couple small stream hops and then a very short stint of woods and such. Maybe 4 minutes to do a loop, but still fun. I also have a practice log that is wide open all around so you can do angles on it, straight over, etc.

You're welcome to come over this Wednesday, June 7th to practice around if you'd like. If there's interest, I can drag out two large truck tires I have and set them up however, too. PM me for directions/address.

Thats real nice of you to offer Jed. If I was on my schedule where I had the middle of the week off Id come out and play a little.

Dang, I've got deadlines at work. :(

We had 10 acres growing up (with hundreds of acres of woods behind our house/close to the patuxent river/jug bay). I thought it was great. I'll bet your kids love it.

Nice offer Jed.
I need a STEEP, rocky downhill with a 90 degree turn at bottom with no run out room to practice on
Ask the RAC guys.

Man, I would love to really learn how to wheelie, but jammed this weekend. A very generous offer though!

I'll have other days in the future. They'll usually be fairly short notice and mid-week, however.

Cool man, thanks!

That's an awesome offer. How long drive is it from dc? Can't come this Wednesday definitely, but hopefully will come some other time.
"Offroader" who can't wheelie is a joke, need to change that once :D

I'm about 2 hours from DC

Gene and I practiced for about 3 hours today at my house. We did a lot of wheelie practice, several log crossings and stump hops, some short/steep up/downhills and off-camber practice, and several loops around my property. I only managed to put the bike on the ground one time, and that's because I stalled going over a stump and couldn't reach the ground before I had to abandon trying to recover.

Gene could barely do a wheelie before today. Now he can just about get the front wheel up on command. He did an excellent job crossing my practice log multiple times going both uphill and downhill. There's also two smaller logs about 4' apart and not parallel near the end of my loop that he had no issues with.

I rode a little bit on that 300 EXC that's being passed around DAMN riders. She runs pretty well. I can ride a 2T a lot better now that I've learned how to ride a lot more than when I actually had a 2T. It has no problem doing a wheelie, either. It almost made me miss that 250 EXC I got from Bruce, until I remembered it doesn't have a magic button.

We didn't take any pictures or video. It's "secret."
