By pass was to the left of the enduro section and was actually longer....you cut the track

Outrageously Great Weekend!

Im happy to see you using some of the downstairs stuff. 🎉 I heard negative rumors that the whole race was up top.

Looks like fun! I almost joined the club this year, the volunteer hours deterred me because I had to many riding trips already planned this year and wouldn't be able to volunteer enough hours this year. Glad to see y'all doing events like this though!

Thanks for posting! Looking forward to it!

Awesome video! Disclaimer: I am not an expert ride I am just old and have done a lot of single tracking. If I see one thing over and over in these POV videos it is that folks take an entry line that is too straight which forces you to slow down on the exit and usually ends with locking up the rear brakes then roosting it to get back moving! Watch the next time you have someone pass you like you are tied to a stump and I bet they will be "turning" BEFORE they get to the corner so that they can optimize the line, exit under power and carry their speed out of the backside. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast! Thanks for the great content I am looking forward to running a few of these this summer and its nice to get a feel for the track layout.

Oh it looks like that new TITLE WORKED! 😀 Great job @michiganrips!

Man I love writing in the snow that should is crazy.

"that hit my nipple hard!". I feel your pain man, been there!

Glad you enjoyed your trip here!

Get a quad

Thats not the trail 199 I remember. That was way to easy.

I live in Michigan. We got our start with atvs over 20 years ago. We rode the Mounds a few times, and Bull Gap too. Then we went to Windrock/Coal Creek, in Tennessee. I put in over 8000 miles riding in the mountains there, then a few years on the Hatfield trails. Riding here, and riding down in the mountains is vastly different. It took time to learn how to ride. Two things, imo are most important. First for me was gearing. I dropped a tooth on the front and add a couple on the back. I lost some top speed, but down in either of those places, you don't go full out much. I realize you're on a bike.. so that may not apply. What will though, is the use of momentum. Being able to hit the rocks with a little more controlled speed, will help a lot. Blipping your throttle to get over obstacles is another. It takes time and practice. But it's worth it. I had some of the most fun of my life down in Tennessee. Windrock is 72000 acres, all from the same trail head. I'd recommend checking it out. I've ridden rockhouse in WV, and it's more technical than some. Lot's of rocks.. but you're gonna find that most everywhere down there. I remember when we first started and thought the Mounds were scary...LOL Have fun and be safe!!

Absolutely gorgeous. Wish i was on that ride.

It's a fun trail but definitely not the hardest in WV.

what riding park is this?

Hey guys where is this course in Michigan?

Crazy!!!

😮

That last guy!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, looks like the algorithm found this!

OUTSTANDING

That looks like track of the year to me 🤘🏼

Can't wait!

oklhoma

I meant forward facing view

The lowlands were always my favorite. Untill you lay your WR 400 over on a stump and kick it for a half hour and figure out that the stump knocked your carb out of the boot. The mosquitoes down there are bigger than birds.

Do you have this on normal view too?

Looks sweet!

Very well edited, good job.

The backups are almost painful to watch! Glad im not in B class anymore, backup happened way more than you would think it would. I did 5 laps in 3:52. And I voted for doing the whole thing! It was a long race but wouldn't change it.

Lol you contaminated soul, I’m reporting this to mark! JK

You’re right about those backups in the beginning, I was also surprised by that. That first few sections caught everyone off guard.

You filmed mark in the beginning 😂. I was going to do the same thing but forgot. 👌🏽

I got a 22 350exf and feel the same about the trans. Drop to a 13t front. It's better in the really tight but has me shifting alot. Also I stall it much more than my WR. I think its the lack of compression braking that I mis

Yea I’m not into the enduro - part - not good at it - not good at the motocross stuff yet either but - it would be nicer to race the terrain

Nice job avoiding Steve and that other guy, still can’t figure out why they went down like that? I can’t see what they were trying to avoid?

I've had HS races exactly like this! Great job sticking with it!

That guy was tweaked out of his mind. He was definitely strung out on some uppers.

Fake

Well, that was very nice of you to help him but I don’t know how he would misplace his wheels

Good stuff man. Definitely was a tough day. Took alot out of me as well. Great job!

Nice start off the line!

Nice, I have a cameo!

Day #1 of cheering for MICHIGAN RIPS! The fact that the camera is back in Superview is a bonus! 😅🎉

Nothing like a lap around DRP with Steve shows me how out of shape i am lol.

Helmet all day I find videos where about half your field of view is handlebars so annoying.

That was me with the stoppie on the stand 😂

Dude… great video!! I’m one of the owners at 10 pines, thank you for sharing and showing the fun side of racing. Can’t wait to see more and have you back to the track for the Sprint Enduro and Hare Scramble for 2023!!

I have not had good luck with that particular front tire. It likes to slide out without warning.
