Mother nature left us quite an obstacle.

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!

Bike #2 had the knobby rear tireand hooked up better.

Kevin aboard bike #55 with the slip-slidey dual sport rear tire.

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

Some spots had decent traction.

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.

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?"

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.

Saturday looks like the better day for BYFT. Sunday looks like the better day for snowboarding or shooting.
