looks like johhny law wanted in on the fun.. actually this guy was a total d1ck.. he was right up our a55es as soon as he pulled in.. actually checking the tires to see if they were DOT approved.. unfortunately not all were and we ended up sending one rider back to camp till we returned that night and threw some road legal rubber on his bike for the next day. by the way, if your ever in the Pine Barrens and see this guy run the other way.

heres one of our stops involving the local history. if i remember correctly this was a part of the original town in the Pine barrens. i believe this structure was a paper mill at the time.

Same rider shortly after the first pic was taken...........names withheld to protect the guilty;) you know who you are.


Kicka$$ weekend, can honestly say I've never had that much fun! Even taking four crashes into account I had an absolute riot, that sand is soft stuff and even going down at 30mph its just a dust cloud and you pick it up and keep going.

Looks like a blast guys, very nice.;)

O yea..... Note: dont ride in very dusty conditions, especially whoops AT NIGHT.... bad idea... and the ticks out there were horrible. And if your going to stop on the trail get off of the trail dont stop in the middle thats how accidents happen.... thanks jimmi... my leg is black and blue from that.... Just want to say one more thing

Thank you Nate.
With out you lending me your bike i wouldnt have went on that trip thank you so much. hope you like ur muzzy.

Must just be a funny camera angle or something, my bike isn't that big - seat height is about like the KLX. I'm very happy with it - runs and feels great! By day 2 I was starting to get the hang of the soft sand and the feel of the bike in it - definitely a different experience than what I normally ride. All the rides were great - Jimmi did an awesome job of laying out a route and keeping the crew together. On day 2 Patrick had his trials course set up and it was like watching poetry seeing Ron on the Christini bike flow through it like the wind! After that, Linsey's crew took on a tour through some fire breaks and single track - that was just incredible and such a blast. I learned a helluva lot this weekend and have to say that was the most fun on a bike I've ever had. Not to mention the great company - meeting all you in person was a privilege. I think everyone had a great time.
