Been awhile since I rode the 500AF! Had a little trouble keeping a decent pace!

It's about all I do besides a few beers and work! I always wonder how you guys in the mid-west and back east dodge all those trees? Then I realize we're doing the same thing out here except it's rocks and more high speed except in this video! Poor performance on my part in this video! Just wasn't feeling it today and I have not been on the 500AF for about 5 months so it was learning how to ride all over again! Going out again tomorrow on an 80 mile loop at a place called Searchlight. Should be doing better tomorrow?

I have only raced 1 woods race ever... I had a good time and enjoyed the challenge, but I went slow. I have an allergy to trees, so I stick to MX mostly. Trees are great in the pits to hide from the Texas sun! Have fun on your ride tomorrow.

Meh, after riding desert for the last 5 years, it gets annoying. It gets to the point where riding with other people becomes a chore when it is dusty. Mid summer is a pain in the ass with the heat, and you're constantly looking for rain as that's when it gets awesome. If I had to chose between open desert riding and tight woods, the woods hands down. Can't imagine what it would be like in Nevada or Utah. Though I do wish to ride Moab one of these days.

Dust got me three years ago! Four broken ribs, punctured collapsed lung, nerve damage to my right outer thigh and a separated shoulder. Five days in the trauma ward with a chest tube. If you've never had a chest tube you don't want to know! Not trying to start a "scar wars" here but it was one of my better get offs! I was back on my bike in about three and a half weeks! My riding partners took me over a 3 mile whoop section just to make sure I was ready to go! It hurt but it was what I needed to get back in the saddle. I don't ride in the dust anymore! If I can't see the throttle goes closed.
