    Just took the "new to me" KX250 out to Sandmountain MX track! I enjoyed the 72 degree weather in the middle of winter. Second, I learned a big lesson. These dudes are freaking nuts. Even the kids are super crazy bada$& on little bikes! I only rode about 12 laps all day on the big track and I managed to crash twice! I have never jumped a bike more than about 4 feet high and 8 feet in distance until today. LOL if I used the old adage "pin it to win it", I would be in a hospital right now. I have to make up my mind to stick to trails on dirtbikes and just focus back in on the road course and I might make it through the winter!

    That was one of the hardest crashes I've seen in a while in Supercross. Honda stated a compound fracture of the forearm....I wonder what else, because he hit HARD.

    Millcreek MX in Pell City is awesome. The compound is giant. Cost me 25 bucks to ride all day!

    Tried Cullman OHV Park this weekend. Not super fun and especially not designed for motorcycles. I will try one more MX track down south Al. Atmore or Admore or something like that!
