I think it was gettting passed by green bikes all day and it figured if it turned green it could keep up.

But by day 2, though, I was getting the hang of the sand. It only seemed like I was slow because on day 2 they said they weren't waiting at intersections any more and I kept having to wait for Josh to round the corner so he knew what direction to go before I could take off and catch back up. P.S. Sorry, Josh, I'm throwing you to the wolves here, gotta look out for my own skin here buddy, no hard feelings.

Well if 40+ is too old to ride 75 MPH in the woods, then hooray for 40[8D] I choose life. Its great to explore and have fun, but I have too great a family and a lot to live for to take chances like that. No thanks.

Yeah, 75 through the woods is nuts. I don't think anyone was going 75 through the woods that weekend, though. Most of the riding was sandy paths, old roads slowly being taken back. Those were pretty fast, maybe even 75 but I wouldn't know, half that was fast enough for me. I'd be surprised if anyone was hitting 75 on that stuff, though, but I could be wrong. I think Patrick has a clip where he was going around that, but that was on pavement. Maybe he can do that on the sandy paths, too. But the wooded singletrack was a whole lot slower. Anyone who says they were going 75 through that is pulling your leg.
Here's the video. Be sure and check me out at the 5 minute mark, I'm easy to spot, just look for the orange bike.

That's footage that Patrick LaMeau and Jimmi Soldo, both co-founded the show "Dirt Bike Television" took at our NE Ride held at the NJ Pine Barrens on Memorial Day weekend this year.
Music by Jimmi's band, that's Jimmi singing. Jimmi is the first guy to flip off the camera at the very end. The 2nd guy to flip off the camera is one of those crazy Irishmen, Colin. Good times, baby! A dozen hooligans on dirt bikes, and no work for three days, hard to beat that!
Edit: oops, sorry, I thought you meant the 6minute video I posted. Looks like more of Patrick and Jimmi's work for DBTV.

They both look real fun. I wish there was that many people around here (that i knew somehow) to go on a big ride like that. My schedule isnt the same as my white collar buddies so I get to ride out at the local area pretty much alone. Weekends are so busy I'd probably sooner ride against traffic on a one way street.

But by woods, I assumed you were talking about the single track through the fire breaks on day 2 with Lindsey's group and Patrick's helmet scratcher trail, renamed the "corkscrew" where we are weaving between and threading between the trees, roots, and rocks. That's what I think of when you said woods which is a whole lot slower than the wide and straight sand roads that Jeeps and SUVs were going down.
It was on one of those paths off the fire breaks that Jsac got stuck and it took 3 of us to get him out. And I think it was around that time when Jimmi's front brake tube got damaged also. That stuff was pretty tight and brushy with trees, i.e., "woods".
