Day 62 - Nocona MX TX 2017 First Look

This was shot just before the grand re-opening 2017 of the great Nocona MX park in Texas. Many I have met this last year have spoken about memories of this track including those who owned other TX tracks. On this day I had signed up for group lessons with prior pro MX/SX rider Blake Wharton and luckily for me it was such a last minute event that I had one on one with Blake that day. I tried to pull my other friends in, asking them to stop at ATMs along the way but no, they only wanted to install FBI listening devices to interrupt my day with the pro :).
At the end, when I was asked if there was anything else I wanted to focus on I said yes! I want to race Dan! I had been riding my 43 year old ass for hours but was confident I would beat Dan. So confident that I thought I was going to lap Dan! So tune in to see what happened as I provide voice over for everything I was thinking during this "race".

Heck yea dude, thanks for uploading the vid I now know were another track is. Wish another track would open closer to me. Cost to much in gas for me to go about 100 miles to a track XD. I was wondering if I should go there on the 28th or Greenville.

They are both good tracks. You can't go wrong with either and they are both great owners at both locations.

Hi Andy, cool man! Other than this video and me turning laps alone before anyone arrived I really don't have footage. Unfortunately the latest GoPro 5 has a bug where if you switch the battery and place it back in, the first video you attempt to record will only go about 9 seconds and then the camera locks up until you power off and on again. It doesn't always do this but it nailed me when I was recording some of the best shots where others were riding and I was training a fast section with Blake. Then at the end of the day I was lifeless and just doing circles going over mentally what he had taught. I plan to go back soon so if you see me say hello.
