I might be there as well with another buddy of mine. What kind of riding do you like to do out there? We are usually into the fast paced riding through the trails. We will look for you.


Title: Re: CROOM on 11-12-06
Post by: MPTonyT on November 07, 2006, 10:32:37 PM
thats pretty much what we do a little fast pace riding through the trails its always a good time. a couple are pretty new to the sport and one is not as experienced with the tightness of the trails so we end up rallying to all catch up we also use walkie talkies incase we get separated. yeah write down my number and we'll cant see what we can do.

i might be out there early either saturday or sunday for some fast paced ride through the trails, the smaller the group the better(less likly to loose someone)

I have a red dodge ram ext cab 4x4 and my black 450r white # plates with 13C on them, i usually park in the back just past the restrooms, stop by if u see me and wanna do a fast pace trail ride...

I'm gonna try and make it.I came down with the flu , but hopefully by then it'll be gone.


Title: Re: CROOM on 11-12-06
Post by: jujulo700R on November 09, 2006, 01:30:06 PM
Yeah it looks like it is going to be me and about 3 other people. I will take my walkie talkie out there and set it to 4 20 to see if we can get in touch with you. We are usually there pretty early, like 7:00 and we park in the 1st day use area near the sand pit. Bring some fluids because it will be an exhausting ride.

It's Julian. We will probably stay up front for a little to see who shows up and then we will head back to where you are parked. Just look for a fast looking group lol. We look fast standing still lol! 8)

Post by: MPTonyT on November 09, 2006, 02:51:24 PM
how do you do that... look fast standing still... can you teach me... i wish i could do that.


Title: Re: CROOM on 11-12-06
Post by: jujulo700R on November 09, 2006, 03:32:16 PM
It's simple! You peel of the stickers on your bike slightly to where they are just hanging off a little (gives the illusion of blazing speed). Next you have your buddy throw mud at your helmet and chest as hard as he can to get those nice mud lines showing (use the mud sparingly or people may mistake you for a UTE rider). Last but not least, make sure you and your bike have the latest stuff on (i.e. aftemarket shocks, tires, bumper....you get the picture). The more you and your bike look like something out of GNCC race, the faster you will look standing still! Shhhhhhhh, this is just between you and me! ;)

We warm up in the pitt and play around for awhile, then ride the trails.It depends on how dry it is whether we do much trail riding.Croom is so tight in the trails that when it's dry , it's dangerous.

You got that right, it does get dangerous. I pretty much do the same thing too when I get out to Croom. Since I will be there around 7:00 Sunday morning, I will go ahead and get the sand pit warmed up and ready for ya!  ;D

Cool. It shouldn't be that hard to spot you. Look for a white Tahoe and a black Yukon with a raptor and z400 in tow. See you out there!

Yeah are you talking about jumping in the pit? I think I say you. Was there someone video taping you? I was jumping the hump over in the sand pit as well on a blue raptor. My buds and I had a blast today. We ripped it up for 5 hours straight and the place was packed! Finally got to meet Chino and his buds and they all seemed like cool peeps. Best of all, nobody got hurt!

I'll be in Virginia for the next two weeks.I'll hit you up after I come back for a ride.I have to get some new bearing in the rear first, messed then up today jumping!

Post by: MPTonyT on November 13, 2006, 10:52:41 AM
no im talking about the 20 ft wood ramp the was brought in. i think Neal McGraff was the one hitting it. there was a TRX450 that was widened 2' atw around and a crf 450R jumping it too. it was not at the sand pit that i saw. it was in the quary pary of it where it like riding tight trails in the mountians.


Title: Re: CROOM on 11-12-06
Post by: 1FasterBlaster on November 13, 2006, 11:38:44 AM
Yeah, my buddy was jumping it on Saturday.It was closed off because it was for a retention pond they were getting ready to build.We made a launch jump in the Pitt.If you hit it in third gear, you'd fly like 20'.Not up, long.I f'ed up my rear bearings jumping.

Post by: duroc825 on November 13, 2006, 12:10:14 PM
Chino, he's talking about the wood launch ramp in the back part of the park down in the old mine area. I saw it earlier before I met up with ya. It looked pretty crazy! Wish I wouldve seen the maniac jumping it. I guess you guys made your way back to the front alright. Had a great time once again.


Title: Re: CROOM on 11-12-06
Post by: 1FasterBlaster on November 13, 2006, 10:52:52 PM
Yeah, we did a little more jumping, but I didn't want to mess up my bearings anymore.
