I knew DHing would come in handy...

Loading Bay Dock last weekend while I was sweeping my clubs harescrambles at a retired lumber mill in Packwood. :) This was part of the course, or you could ride around down the ramp....but that was slower ;) Sound familiar? Too much fun.

Woods racers don't normally run into stuff like this.

Looking over my shoulder coming out of the woods onto the road course.

Damn! Never seen a guy your size doing stuff like that!

Props! :cheers:

Damn! Never seen a guy your size doing stuff like that!

Props! :cheers:Thanks, I do OK... Rode 60-80 miles that day. Probably about 2 hours into the day in the photos.

Would be faster if I wasn't so fat, but I think I am lazy. I was never better than a mid (to back of) pack sport racer in DH. Grew up on dirtbikes, and DH bike never felt as stable/forgiving as a dirt bike. But DHing was a blast! :)

Racing harescrambles/GP events I am a Vet (30+) C or B class racer. These classes are actually pretty stacked if you go to the races.

Port Angles back in like 2003, I think

[Eren]

you run your mountain bike moto style as well, awesome

[Certified Drunk]

Thats bad ass Kevin!

[bockner]

That is bad ass but I was gonna say "Damn, I never seen anyone bottom a MX bike of a loading dock before!"

[ire]

Good job! Nice photos

[LeroyJenkins]

Way to go Rhino. Change that plate to NUMBER 4. I'll come introduce myself if I see you at a race.

[MinorThreat]

Nice moto shots, Kevin! Always good to see stuff from the other awesome two-wheeled sport.

[knittingfiend]

Nice ridin'! :cheers:

I XC, and love DHing, but I've been lusting after a moto, especially after trying it a few months back. I'm on the hunt for a little bike, it's awesome!!

[Spahman]

ha keep riding :]

[RhinofromWA]

That is bad ass but I was gonna say "Damn, I never seen anyone bottom a MX bike of a loading dock before!"I use it all baby! Thank god for bottom out bumpers, eh?

I run stiffer springs (for my girth of course) but lighter valving for offroad hack stuff.

There are featherwieght guys at full squish on the same drop. :busted:

[Arkayne]

You are awesome man. Nice pics!

[DirtMcGirk]

Love to see the big brothers making it work.
One large mammal to another, solid work man!

[dudeman]

Nice. Glad to see someone is still running the 2-smoker. It is a pretty rare occasion to see a 2-smoker at the moto track these days. Is that from the desert 100 pics on the bottom?

[RhinofromWA]

Way to go Rhino. Change that plate to NUMBER 4. I'll come introduce myself if I see you at a race.Sure thing. I don't think I will be at the harescrambles in Bellingham (Hannegan Speedway) next weekend.

This weekend I am riding up in Taneum (South of Cle Elum)

My club is putting on a 24hr race at Reiter Trails July 19-20th. Some of the nastiest terrain anywhere. :) I will most likely be working a check point on course.

Is that from the desert 100 pics on the bottom?I love 2 smokers....always have. Even if they aren't the fastest option at times, they are by far the funnest to play ride. It is all about enjoyment...only down side, premix. :)

Last two are Starvation Ridge (Goldendale, WA) from last fall. Before that is sweep riding (notice the yellow safety vest) the WORCS series at Pacific Raceway in Auburn. Before that is open practice day at Riverdale MX (Toutle, WA)

Cool. I have ridden a couple of those places. I would rather mix gas then shim or change valves any day. I miss my smoker. :nopity:

Little Urban, Concrete Jungle...our course rocks! Not to many offroad courses like this.

Kevin, you have great form on cornering.

[RhinofromWA]

Kevin, you have great form on cornering.Thanks Snacks. :cheers:

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile. :clue:

I am sure there are more poor ones than good ones. That is one of my favorite shots and favorite corners on all the DH courses... Do they still use it at PA? I think AJ took the picture.

You could barely stand on that corner without falling on your ass, but you could stick to it like glue while railing. It looks like a flat corner in the shot. Kinda funny to me.
