what the picking up part, or the brushing off part   

Yes. 

Daniely: Yeah...I wasn't a big fan of the sand on the little 100's tiny tires.... 

Great pics, Daniely...got more?? 

I got a crapload more, how many more you want? lol



I've got more to get you but goin through the photobucket i cant find em. I know I have them on my external drive so I will upload more for you tonight.

ALL of 'em!!! 

I'm so darned stoked about my dirt experience that I'm actually starting to EXERCISE to get my muscles in shape for it.... totally unheard of for me! 

No need to exercise, ride for a month and as long as your actually riding righ at your limit maybe pusshing it a bit, you WILL get in shape lol.

Pandy, exercise is more than mixing and drinking margaritas

Need Some tough Practice. Dry River or Creek beds are Best then you can work your way up to Running Creeks and Rivers.

Pandy! AWE some!!!     Isn't dirt a kick?! I LOVE little dirt bikes (used to ride dual sports). They are a ton of fun. Do as much as you can, it really makes for a better rider on the street, even though technique is way different. I think it adds confidence.

Dang, are you going to be having a TON of FUN!!!     Keep us up to "speed"....!

As for bruises and being whupped, it will be easier next time out, and it's the most physically demanding sport (motocross). Yeah, exercise and flexibility work will help.

With sand on a light little bike like that you actually want to go fast enough to kind of skate on top of it. If a wheel starts to sink, buhbye! The bike will wiggle like crazy going faster, but if you are on the pegs and your weight is back and you're keeping up the entry speed, it should just skate along. Hang on and go with it. I always rode sand fine when I didn't SEE IT COMING, I'd just hit the gas because I didn't have time to think. If I saw it and it was deep and a long patch, I'd freak myself out! It's hard work pushing even a little bike in that stuff!     I haven't ridden dirt on anything with a motor in it since the late 70s, last bike was a classic, a Honda CR125 Elsinor. It kicked butt back then. But it was only a couple of times on that, I rode an 80 a lot before that. But an hour on the CR and I was exhausted, I bonked so bad I thought I was going to need to go to a hospital!!!


Oh, next time TAKE PICTURES! A THREAD LIKE THIS IS "WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICTURES"!!   



Daniely, fabulous AIR pics!   

From the look of that big hill climb in the last picture, it appears you went to Hollister. I went there a month ago for my first dirt ride and had a blast too. Now I just need to fit a dirtbike and a pickup into the budget.

I had the pickup and the dirt bike, sold 'em and got the GS...   

Both the quad pics are out here at Pismo Dunes (Oceano State Park). Some GNARLY hills now though, still alot of fun, we take our trucks out there about every other week. Only 2 hours from here, Hollister hills is a bit of a shot, Gorman is closer. I love Millwood too, its only 45 min to an hour away from here, LOTS of trails.

  pandy, nothing like a girl gettin dirty...... IN LEATHER 

which one is u

you rarely ever see pandy in pics  i caught a few of em, and photochopped one, into another pic, but rarely do you see a pic of her. kinda adds to teh mystery 

I'm the one with the beard!

LOL! By the time it came time to take pics of me, I was too busy glaring at everything (especially the bearded one), and trying to stay upright in the sand...  I'll take pics BEFORE heading out next time!

It was Hollister Hills, and it was a BLAST!!!!!!!! I can't wait to go back again!!! I've been looking at tiny rigs to pull a little dirt bike with my Honda. 

Wait...who said exercise is more than just mixing margaritas!!! Shots of Patron are EXCELLENT for practicing balance!!! 

indeed
