This cat was upset at me and I hadn't even chased him with a bike yet.

Two men, two minibikes, one shovel, incalculable cubic yards of snow. Yes we can!

The sun hit the .5-1" of snow we couldn't shovel and made soup.

Every lap the shovel reminded me of my sweat equity in the track.

Time to blow stuff up!

Feel the snow-churning power of the mighty XR100!

A very dirty mini.

Good times.

Helmet cam video coming soon. One pass, two crashes on two different bikes in two different directions.
I've raced that track before. Very dangerous, especially when covered in snow. ;D
Great!
Hey! What could possibly go wrong???
Big thanks to Eric for manning the shovel & posting up the pics!
You guys are like Gerbils!
Videos are ready.
#55 XR100 with the dual-sport rear tire, which doesn't want to hook up in that one spot and it comes all the way around

#2 with the knobby rear tire, making a pass, then, "What happened?"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V02vjyyS40
That looks awesome! ;D
Ahh that's the life! some have it, most don't
If they don't like them they don't have to look over the fence. Stock mufflers on 100cc thumpers, quieter than any neighborhood lawn mower, weed whacker, snowblower, leaf blower, etc.
Hey Kevin, I'm not so good with those flat turns, so grab some lumber and a hammer and get busy!

Looks like fun, for sure! I'm too lazy, though. Rather go ride than build fake berms.
Wanna come over & ride the mud-pit? It's nice & slimy right now...
Waaa I wanna play with you guys! TTR one two five back rim getting relaced . Whens the next session?
Howzabout next weekend (march 6/7), or the weekend after?

Looks like weather dis weekend
Saturday looks like the better day for BYFT. Sunday looks like the better day for snowboarding or shooting.
you should combine snowboarding and shooting.
People keep telling me that. Problem is, I've had a few yard sales just running on flat, dry ground with loaded guns. I know a snowboarder/machine gun dealer in Colorado who's serious about it. Here's his website, which has a video with the snow and the guns, less the boards. That's him narrating.

Im out Kevin, Im gonna do single track at the nuts, Sat, maybe Sun, Im swamped with to do's But I have to squeeze a ride in hlf day. Anyone care 2 join?
I've got work to do this weekend, too.
Should we try for next weekend? The weather's not as bad as predicted, it could be pleasant by then.
Possibillity: I may have family coming to town. If not perhaps you can show me some of the single tracks in your back yard. I also need to look at the kart track there in Lemmon Valley
