Hey Brian !!! I'm in a bad shape righ now and I haven't been practicing all that much, so there is no racing for me, I will be helping the guys tho, are you coming?

Theres always something that keeps me from racing the gncc opener. first year it was an injury, second year it was my bike, this year its both  Doubt i'll make it out to watch this year either which sucks, but best of luck to everyone that races! Derrick and Richard racing again this year luis?

wheres Randall at? You racing Randall?!

Yes Kyle, Richard and Dereck are racing, I haven't heard from Randall for a long time, come with us, it would be a very good race

they have some other spots where they practice besides Croom. unlike years ago, all the "pro-riders" have been training a lot and you can see the results, the last races of last season had the top 5 riders with 30 seconds between them at the end of the races, I'm sure this will be a great race

oh well, I guess nobody, fortunately, there are a lot of riders from different states coming down, besides the local "pro" Taylor Kiser who I hope can win this opening race as he did last year, finishing 2nd for the season 

Well it is that time, the real deal is here for all the XC riders/racers,  there was a lot of talking here wile ago, now who is in for real

This Pro and Pro Am guys are just too fast, seen the ones race yesterday on the FTR event, is just a dream to get even close to them, including the girls

Well as a reference,they finish the race as close as possible to the 2 hours, if you are lap (passed) by the "pros" you won't have to do as many laps as they do (1 less) so you will finish after they are done (lil more then 2 hours), now if you are on the same lap as the "pros" you will have to do that lap and there is when you see racers with times like 2:30 or even more

Now Giorgia is a nice race, normally muddy but the track is nice, I raced it 2 years ago, got stock really bad but after they helped me out I just kept racing and it was a very nice experience, now if the quad is dirty that is the less of my concerns, get a bottle of simple green and a pressure washer and get it clean...

Luis! If you and whoever else want to meet up and ride Santo's, a group of people ride every sunday morning! We'll setup a date and get a group ride together. If anyone else wants in just post up.

Hey Kyle, sorry I haven't been around lately so this is now that I see this post, we normally ride at Alafia or Boyette there are some nice trails in those parks but  let me talk to Richard and Dereck, I will like to ride up in Santos we have never been there it should be nice, my schedule is lil tight right now with Chrismas and all that but will go up there as soon as we can.

Luis.

Gatorback, one of the best HS tracks ... specially if is dry

wow I din't know about this, I have had a lot of people looking for a quad for a day of ride, and you guys are really close to Croom, even better, cool

Happy birthday old men, hope you still come to the races, I know I know, not racing any more but you can be a spectator

It sounds good, I will like to see mor info, is there any website I can find more about this, MX track?, XC trails? ...

I think we are talking two different parks.  The bird is singing about the Triple Canopy park.  The video refers to the Mosaic property that Polk Co is working to set up.  We do need to get behind the Mosaic deal, but look for Triple Canopy to open a great riding complex in the next couple months. 

Where is this at?

well keep that little bird talking it seems like he has good news, hopefully we have this for real

wow and the rider went back to the quad like nothing ever happend

Yes awsome race and great job Taylor and Jen, congrats !

Oh men ! Tony I'm really sorry to hear that, my condolences to you and your family Tony

Nice video, men those guys in the yellow and white quads were really fast

Good, I understand about the loop, but the longer the better, it will be really rough as the hours go by, and if is to short, that will be worse

How many riders per team is the max ? and how many miles will the track be ?

Very true, if you get in the pit you are asking for trouble, if you like the trail ride, there are miles and miles of trails, like Frank and "fsterthenmydad92" mentioned, if you go all the way to the back and ride the north trails, you will be safer and hardly see another rider.

Front pit is more for show offs and crashes

How was the race ? how many quads ?

The tracks are always nice up there !

This is something I just saw in another site and I'm sure you will like to take a look
