Yes, but I'll put this in perspective. AA is row 2 of our series. Pro is our first row. Second, I got 16th OA so not really at AA speed. I was minutes off. Third, I'm coming off a broken wrist and 5 months off and it was only my 5th ride back on the bike.

Felt so good

I don't think so. After my own research too, scaphoid fractures are consistently hidden in x-rays initially, primarily by the swelling. However, they show up on CT and MRI's, but they don't use those machines for initial checks. If it's not on the x-ray, they press against the "Anatomic Snuffbox" part of the wrist and if the patient has decent pain, they will cast it as a precaution (could do more testing if there is a lot of pain or the wrist is really bad looking) and call you in after a few weeks to get it confirmed. The worst it hurt was the week after, and it progressed for a few weeks until it stagnated at 50-60% and to this day, every doctor has been shocked how little pain I have when pressing on that area of my wrist. Even today. I was told I obviously had a very large hit to it because it damaged some of the smaller bones too so it does not surprise me it had been this bad the whole time. I never had a moment that as time passed, it got any worse.

I think I was 7th. Had a lot of falls but was around 5th or 6th a lot

@@brandonwiant814 good deal

AA baby it's cutthroat, these boys have places to be!

​@OtisFlint as someone right in the middle of it, it's kind of ridiculous at times. There's plenty of faster riders that are a lot more respectful to the class by not revving when the race has just started. On one hand, I get it, but I won't do that to guys right off the bat.

@@brandonwiant814 i will admit that i didn’t know the race was GP format until after i commented. 30 minutes in AA on a single track obviously changes the dynamic of the race, so I think it isn’t as outrageous as i originally thought. 30 seconds is still a quick trigger in my opinion though.

And what gear for hill climbs? I’m running a kx250

I would say I range mostly from 2nd to 4th. I might hit first, but it's rare. Sweet spot for me around the entire track is 2nd and 3rd. I can ride almost all sections in those two gears.

I had a blast. Chris is one of my buddies so I was happy things turned out good during the day. Excited for the next one

Going to do some bike testing on Monday. Should dial it in there. We got a bit lost in some changes and haven't been able to predict the bike the same.

We've talked about that before. I might try it, but I've had success with getting good starts pretty much all the time, so I put it down to certain factors making me uncomfortable and not riding as sharp as I should. Generally, I might let one guy by for picking lines but still have the good track position from at least getting the holeshot. And yes, I have used Kenda. Not the biggest fan of the last set I had.

Luckily it's hard enough there, the rain can't go down very far and it just gets very polished. If it had rained while we were racing, I think we would have torn it up really bad, but luckily it stayed good. I've been there a few times where it was really bad, but that was after days of rain.

Not bad at all compared to Denver, only rutted spot was near the creek, everywhere else just a little slick

Yea not bad at all. Some spots were slippery, but nothing bad compared to Denver. Denver has much thicker mud

@@brandonwiant814 yea it looked decent just slick Denver was quite rough

@@Leroyjamesda3rd more often than not, when it's thicker, it can be tougher because it's pulling you everywhere and seem slicker. Those are where I struggle the most.

@@brandonwiant814 yea same

Thanks man. Always appreciate it
