Well, i rode dirt for the first time this year.  I went to the sandbox  over in New Richmond Wi, and they got one hell of a facility!!  I felt pretty good, felt fast, but arm pump was ridiculous.  I didn't loose any speed, but stamina for sure.  It was a good place to find out where i'm at early, so I got a trip to arkansas planned out for late feb, and i'm going back to the sandbox as soon as my 08 rm250 gets here.  Just a heads up if you anyone buys a new bike from COUNTRY SPORTS INC(715-325-5381) they get a free pass to the sandbox, check it out.  Anyway, feel good, shoulders good, knees good, my ankles are good, just need some more saddle time.  Bike works awsome, owe it alot to PRO WORKS, Kevin and Randall know what there doing! Love how the bike handles. just wanna thank everyone whos helping me out. FMF, BOYESEN, PRO WORKS, ACERBIS, ONEAL, GAERNE BOOTS, UTOPIA OPTICS, OSIRIS SHOES, TWIN AIR, DUNLOP, SIXSIX ONE, WORKS CONNECTION, FACTORY BACKING, SUNLINE, REGINA, HINSON CLUTCH COMPONENTS, WHOS YOUR DADDY ENERGY DRINKS, COUNTRY SPORTS INC, and of course big thanks to AMSOIL for everything there doing to promote our sport, and our district 16 hare scrambles. 

Well, after I tore my rotator cuff at the first round, I didn't do so bad at azzy considering.  I got a great start but I wrapped my shoulder too tight and lost feeling in my left hand, so I had to stop and take off my wrap and my brace.  Then my steering damper rod fell out, so I had no steering stabalizer.  Then I broke both my handguards, so I didn't have any by the end of the race.  But after an hour I felt really good, not quite 100% but I'm getting there.  Anyway, rode my tail off the last half of the race, but didn't have near enough time to catch the leaders.  Least my shoulder held up. 

I just got my suspension back from Pro Works, and I'll tell you what, Randall, and Kevin hooked me up!  I've never had anything work so good in my life!  I can hit a 6 inch stump, rock, log wide open and the bike just soaks it up!  Not only that, I was riding at Cheston Lilleys house (check out his profile his track is bad dude) and over shot one of his big doubles (at least 50 ft) by like 6 ft landed on the flat, and didnt' bottom out.  The bike handles awsome in short choppy braking bumps and turns excellent.  Just wanted everyone to know if they want good suspension work for an even better price, talk to Randall or Kevin.  The guys are wizards with that stuff.
