Default Ride at Kmac250's place

Kmac250 was gracious enough to have me over to his place today for some riding. He's got an awesome farm and lots of wooded trails and wide open fields, not to mention a great shop for working on the bikes and a few projects going on in there.

Anyway, it would be a crime to not take any photos, so I thought I'd post them up here. Keith's been working on some trails so we ran those in pretty good after warming up in the field, which is gorgeous, btw.


Unloading:




The fields were gorgeous:












Keith on the KLX250S:




One trail has a nice little jump and we played on that for a while:




Best of all was NBjr on his 200. He's doing so great on that, beyond my wildest expectations, he scoots along on that bike really great now, he was getting sideway, and hitting stuff pretty aggressively now. Here he is getting some air off the little jump. Won't be long, now ...




Thanks for having us over, Kmac, we sure do appreciate it. It was good to meet you in person. I'm not sure which I enjoy more about riding, the riding itself, or all the great people you meet along the way. Looking forward to next time ...

Oh, be sure and cut all my spodeness from the video before you post it! haha

I haven't downloaded my helmet cam yet, but if it's decent, I'll post a vid of your place, very nice area you have there.

Good stuff!! Nice pics. The snow adds the perfect touch in the shot of the wide open field.

Glad you guys were able to come out to play today. The weather was perfect...38F & blue skies; the pasture was juicy, and the trails were muddy....perfect riding conditions. By the way, I'm posting new rules for wheeled off road vehicles at the farm:
Tractors are RED and motorcycles are GREEN.

(No way I can keep up with them orange pumpkin bikes :-) )

Here are some more pics to throw into the collection. I'll try to look through my videos tomorrow.

...Nobrakes caught all the easy shots of us getting big air. Easy to do when we had a lot of hang time. The tough shots were catching the landings just as both wheels hit the ground..!!

RMA brand, aluminum, only $16.75 from Rocky Mountain ATV. I figured at that price, you can't go wrong.
