Thank you!

Wow surprised to hear of bears at Hendrie!! I didnt expect them to get so close to the cities!! I'm on a Beta 250 rr, bit hard to tell now ive swapped all the graphics out haha.

ahhh haha, i just think of little goats running up n down hills, but it makes sense being a bit of a bowl that it could be a wash basin haha

DO IT

uhhhh its across the road, you come out of the carpark and go up about 1km and on the right you enter into a fireroad trail there, follow it along there are signs until you get to the start. The OFTR map with some gps should let you know you've started the right place! Don't go alone even if you're competent, as you can get stuck in mud real easy when not paying attention

Out of these two? Honestly its hard to say, but i personally wouldn't do millennium without a buddy as there's wayyyy to much to easily get stuck in if you go the wrong way in a puddle. If i was told to pick one, i guess it would be somersville as there is so much in there that i've yet to ride as its just too difficult for my current skillset.

haha you'd have crushed me this day. But long as you come back to help pick me up when i fall then ya know haha :D Orr lake is definitely one of my favourite places and that's another reason i was disappointed as i wasn't able to rip around like I really enjoy here. Ah well!

the very first part of the video is across the road from the main parking lot, so the East Side

we did the cross the road then the long single trail side twice

It was great meeting you too, i'll buzz next time im near by!

haha yeah, I cant believe how exhausting the little bean shape is, just a few minutes and I'm gassed lmfao.

ahhh better luck next time!!!

thanks man, though tbf, the class was only 23 big, but im very happy nevertheless as I felt like I rode well, espeically compared to years past

crikey what on earth part could have such a huge difference?!? It was a fantastic day and the weather was great! And thank you, I do my best to boost up the ontario economy, those speedo wires arent cheap either haha 🤮

@@woodlandwugui MAP sensor circuit problem according to the flashing light. in my kill button. Makes it really hard to start. Just got in a new MAP sensor in and tried it out. No better! I have some disassembling and connection checking to do tonight! Silver lining is it gives my thumb more time to heal from cranking it playing hockey

@@rondaniels9974 ahhh dreaded electrics, damn that sucks it didnt work. Electrics terrify me more than mechanics, i feel like a monkey who just is staring at things I don't understand when it comes to that.

@@woodlandwugui Luckily for me, I was a telephone repairman while in school, I'm trained in electronics for scientific applications and I teach (among other things) how to create machines that interface microprocessors and sensors/motors, so I'm less intimidated than most. Once fixed my car's air conditioning after taking an oscilloscope home and reading the signals going to it. I put in a new sensor last night. $48 off Amazon instead of $240 at the dealer. Cheap chinese knock-off. REALLY hard to start, got the code again and when I bench tested the sensor, it was fried in the exact same way at the first one. Took apart all of the wiring on the bike and cleaned all the connections. Metered the three wires coming from the sensor. All three registered conductivity with miniscule resistance - GREAT! Then I checked between the wires. Ground wire was zero conductivity to the other wires - perfect. Signal wire to input voltage wire was 6.8 kOhm - BAD!!!! Examined the wire loom and found that the wires for this sensor had been rubbing on the frame (bike has over 500 hours on it), and had rubbed through the insulation a touch. Add a bit of dirty moisture and you've got a short circuit. Moved the wires away from each other and cleaned everything.... zero conductivity. It's nice when you find the physical flaw. Lot less tossing and turning at night when you know what's causing the problem. Since no fraying of wire, I just encased each wire separately in silicone and heat shrink tubing wrap and will do another round of this over the whole bundle tonight. The partial short circuit was sending bad readings to the ECU AND blowing up my sensors (they don't like it when voltage is applied to their output pin). I felt a bit of funny hesitation/surging at low throttle once or twice at RJ's, but that was only one of MANY reasons I was super slow that race...LOL! Now that I've got the root cause sorted, I'll get a good OEM sensor in and not worry about this again for another 8 years. I will, of course, meter the Fuel injector, temp sensor and throttle position wires while I've still got everything apart...

@@rondaniels9974 that whole ordeal sounds like exactly what happened to zach attack last year on his beta, he had troubles for a few weeks and it turned out the fuel tank rubbed through the wiring harness! Well heres to the next 500 hours!

Noted thank you, I gotta break that habit and now i think about it, maybe i pull the clutch in because i lack the accurate control in the rear too. I'll be sure to practice this.

@@woodlandwugui Brenton900 speaks the truth. take a look at the Enduro GP guys on a grass track, heavier front brake than rear, butt off the seat and hips rearward. Bike is actually more disturbed by the application of clutch in that situation. Seems paradoxical but .....Be well and have fun.

Ahhhhhh hahaha what happened? you collide into Isaiah or get cross rutted? I think its him? 🤣

@woodlandwugui I was trying to brake and slid into Isaiah as he fell. lol

@@BakeBoat07 🤣haha hillarious, least you didnt run him over, though you could have used his bike as traction through the mud!

Thank you! Over the winter, i had a look back at some of my early videos and i straight up laughed. It made me feel that keeping track of my progress has been worth it.

Definitely!!! i usually scoot after the race as getting back across toronno sucks on a sunday afternoon haha. Whats your race number?

@@woodlandwugui do you have an instagram account ?!

haha well i had to go check out your last race, and the keanu meme cracked me up! This was certainly a fast course, and the int guys were absolutely flying, they even added a hard enduro section for that class and above, logs and tyre carnage.

come racing Brian!!!

@@woodlandwugui might have to show up in my fancy gear ;-)

@@kiwi-moto you'll (probably) be the most handsome fella at the track!

Hope you weren't injured in that crash! Andre did say he wanted to reach out to apologise!

@@woodlandwuguithanks for the sentiment. It was my first attempt at racing. I got caught on the sidelines in the wrong place. I have hurt my ribs and my spine hurts. My ribs feel a lot better but my spine still hurts. Hopefully it’ll all get better so I can keep riding with my boy. I still don’t understand how someone could have rear ended me. I’m not in it for the blood just trying to have some fun

@@mikebelperio2579 oof, gutting to hear, I assume you went to the docs for a quick check over if your spine hurts? hopefully its just bruising and itll heal up well soon. I 100% can see how you got rear ended at that corner, the excitement of coming out of the barn on the first lap, then a slight off camber blind corner over a slight crest meant he overcooked it on the straight and with it also narrowing had no area to run off and unfortunately hit you. But never the less, i hope you recover and can ride again with your lad soon, and come back to race in future!

@@woodlandwugui Thanks for your concern and I certainly don’t blame anyone for the situation I’m going to check it out as most of the other injuries have gotten considerably better. I’m also hoping its just bruising and will heal with time

Great news I just returned from the doctor and was told I just need more time to heal He didn’t even think an X-ray was necessary

it was quite forgiving compared to other sand too!

🤣 haha were you thinking, how on earth did that happen?! Thank you for helping run the event!

thanks man!

TIP TOP TOP TIPS, DONT BRAKE WHEN TRYING TO START

The amount of flow on this track would be pretty sick to see people ripping the t7's through, but hey id be happy with it becoming a yearly event first.

I rode my T7 around this course as a sweeper. It got really torn up from the morning classes.

One of my favourite XCs!

@@gonna_try_anyway7047 What do you think we create a maxi trail class, twin cylinders only above 500cc. I have seen it in Portugal and Spain. Looks like a ton of fun on heavies.

@DanielHelc would be cool, but im not sure where that would fit within the classes, and it would be almost impossible to slide another race in there. They definitely need there own time slot, maybe with e-moto do a 1 hour race.

I just need to be more aggressive without being dangerous! toot toot coming through kinda...

Absolute treat racing with you man! Was expecting to hear you making wild noises as you passed me!

glad you had fun! Did you do cochranes aswell? Was a bit more flowy, and no along the side of a hill intense either haha.

@@woodlandwugui no I didn’t , im not racing until the cord in the fall unfortunately

yeaaaaa, every novice a start is a gong show lmfao

thank you and yeah I had a look at the videos and have cleaned it out previously, will do it again when I have a bit of time next week. Just hope it doesnt get stuck open at cochranes! haha

mmmm probably just need a clean, the bike starts nearly first crank cold everytime. Its just probably abit gummed up inside. unless the additive cleans that gumminess?

Damn dude!!! I presume no injuries! Was it the massive root that took out your front? You were so far from your bike!!!

@@woodlandwugui went a little wide and fully hit the tree I’m all good tho

half way to keeping the bike the right way up too haha

Hope you had fun though! I still thoroughly enjoyed the race but it was a reminder I suck haha. Hopefully some people got some tip top top tips for us. Otherwise, I'll revert back to 'try to crash less and you'll do better'

@@woodlandwugui We are on the same page. It was a great race and I suck but I am hopeful that I will improve. Energy and alertness was way down on the last lap and I badly needed electrolytes but all I had was water. Stupid little laydowns and bobbles cost me at least 10 positions overall and probably a few positions in my class. Looking forward to Cochrane's XC.

i cried a bit🥲

not a bad idea, and probably smells rather nice too :D haha

Thanks man! I should splash out on some new gloves tbh, Ive used these fly racing ones for years, theyre perhaps some of the best gloves ive gone through and lasted a decent amount of time. But yeah youre right it is new gloves time! Guess that means shopping time again!

Thank you! and haha, it was the start and there was alot of traffic so everyone was chilling out anyways!

Yep i'll be at RJ's! Tho try and find me before hand as after the morning class i gotta whip off fairly quickly if we dont finish on time! Whats your bike number?

808 - on a KTM XCF now! Only have 8 hrs on the bike so race will be interesting!

@@loganguest3742 i'll try and look out for you on sunday! I see rain is forecast too, so that should make it spicy :D

Thank you! Having said that if youre in AB surely youve traded fast n flowy for mountains! A whole new challenge to enjoy :D

ah this is Lawden! I forgot to add it to the title haha

Im in novice a, I usually finish around mid pack ish. haha

Nothing wrong with mid of the pack. Thanks for the reply and great vids. Keep them rolling

@@windsofchangehome274 Thanks man!🤘

oh shit! is your shoulder back in place now? Reckon you'll be good for RJs? I didnt endo when i bottomed out, but crikey did it not feel great, think it was on the 3rd jump from the start on lap 2.

@@woodlandwugui lol there's me 13:05 right of the Offroad Ontario tent. white shirt black arm sling

@@BrandonJKirk hope you're good to go soon man!

haha "mistake" 🤣 a fantastic learning experience some may say, others maybe just grumbled. haha hopefully see you at RJ's! That one is always super popular as its so close to toronto!

yeah, absolute night and day difference. Saw Good Morning Canada's video and it looked insane!
