Title: Hardrock 4/21
Post by: gearhead400 on April 20, 2007, 08:50:50 PM
I'll be there till about 5pm tomorrow. Probably going to park either right in front of the main track or by the outback track. If your out there come find me, i dont know too many mx'ers from this site yet. I drive a silver chevy truck (97) and i ride a red honda 400ex.

Hopefully i'll see some of you out there!

had a great time today! I got use to the main track and hit damn near everything on it. It was a blast. Wrecked once, hit a dirt bike rut on a small table (thank god) and rotated my bike nearly vertical. No big deal jumped back up, knee was sore and bent my tie rod...but nothing a pry bar couldnt handle.
Then near the end of the day i threw my chain right before a double (small one coming out of a turn, thank god AGAIN) got it fixed but i ended my day there. Right after that though some guy on a dirtbike hit the first table in the very front part or the track near the entrance/exit and cased it. Rolled the bike numorous times and had to be carried off by a stretcher. then about 30-45 minutes later another guy wrecked and they called 911. Hope they're doing alright! Its never good to see a rider down.

catch you guys there next time!

I guess one of the guys who wrecked was a friend of a friend and may be paralyised :( pray for him!

I was talking to a mom that was watching her son ride and she said she's watched 3 kids case that jump since the track has been changed.

THE GUY THAT WRECKED ON THE DIRTBIKE WAS A FRIEND OF MT BROTHERS. HIS NAME IS CHAD. I GUESS HE CAME UP A LITTLE SHORT AND THE BIKE GOT AWAY FROM HIM. HE HAD A 9 HOUR SURGERY AND CAN FEEL HIS LEGS NOW. HE SAID HES SELLING THE BIKE AND NEVER GETTING BACK ON. HE WAS A GREAT RIDER TOO. I THINK HE WILL BE OK.

Men the trip was great, we had a lot of fun, that place is the best, I broke my axle at the big track just by the end of the day, so it was all good, we also had 2 dirt bikes just in case but it was like 6:30 and they close the track at 7, I just went back to the truck and celebrate with a good cold one  ;)

I already replaced the axle so I'm good to go
