I was SO SCARED | Gatorback Hare Scramble 2018

[@36surferjoe]

Its so rough on you because your sitting down the ENTIRE ride..if you stand your legs will take the impact and you won't have terrible back problems! You have got to stand up and ride. It will help you tremendously! Keep at it man you are getting better every video! That karate kid ending is da bomb!! Next song should be. Rocky 3 ..hearts on fire

[@AGirlandHerBike]

HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTT That looks SO funnnnn. I Have to make a trip out there and race that with you. As you were saying in your video, as long as you're having fun, that's all that matters.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Either that or we’ll be racing with y’all on California! Although WERE the ones who’re supposed to have mud not y’all 😂

[@randyard3521]

I admire you dude! I just got a bike and plan to get back into it at 61 years old. I must be nuts! But I love it.....its been a looooooooong time since Ive raced.

[@JourdonGulick]

The electric start had ONE JOB!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

ONE FREAKIN JOB

[@hobie1dog]

I always enjoy your videos, thanks, and keep up the great commentary. I'm 64 and disabled, but had 9 dirt bikes in my youth so I enjoy watching your struggles but determination. subscribed

[@DavidSmith-uw3bw]

Josh, I was in the Army for over 5 years and spent plenty of time "camping". Even as a kid I camped a lot. Camping is like riding. It's more about having fun and doing it with what you got. Kabobs looked awesome.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Bruuuuuh your videos make me want a dirtbike. Bigger garage needed first! 😔

[@shadetreesurgeon]

I feel your pain on the garage thing, we’re starting to have to get creative with ours 😂

[@RidingJapan]

I blame KZbin for a lot of things xD

[@enauyt]

I built a man cave just so my bike had a place to live. That and it's hot as balls in AZ, maintenance is so much better in the Ac.

[@JustinRoyal]

Totally broke my arm blasting up a rocky hard packed hill in Austin. This video sketched me out. The terrain is unforgiving. Glad you made it out unscathed. Me, not so much. Ride safe brotha.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

There was a few broken bones that day too... it makes me super happy you’re getting back into riding now that your healed up man. Can’t wait to see ya back on the tubes!

[@tykiisel8801]

I dig these videos and want to get a dirtbike to do this. You da man.

[@wahtzee5943]

This is awesome shadetree!! Props for jumping out there and doing it, AND having the balls to record it! Much respect! And coming from and old school scrambler like myself, something that always helped me was to stand up every chance u get. Let the bike move underneath you! You’ll gain confidence in those loose sections!! Anyway, keep with it!! I enjoy the content!

[@johnnyjohnson2942]

I raced SERA for 20+ years up to A level and you'll find that the races are almost like a family weekend out camping LOL we had FTR races on our schedule many years and did the Alligator enduro and GNCC in Daytona man many times. GREAT folk.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

I was blown away by how friendly and welcoming everyone is, the people really are what make it :)

[@ryannolen5648]

When was younger I did it,I learned you go where you look use your eyes to pick a line and learn how fast you can take it and it will boost you’re confidence big time keep at it brother I believe in you 👍🏼

[@clintoncoey9840]

Loved dirtbiking on my yz125 when I was younger. All I remember is cornering, powerslide in, power out . Now it's relaxing on my Yamaha 1700 roadstar

[@sbalz7300]

Love how you show the lifestyle by going over your camping setup! Congrats on improving the ride too.

[@BeRADMoto]

I Always look forward to these videos! I’m at the point now that I NEED to try racing. You have too much fun for me not to try it!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Dude I can’t wait for you to try it! You’ll probably kick ass right out of the gate 😂 cool thing is you can race there during the summer, then head down here during the winter and do some of our races!

[@billcotton1551]

Love these vids!I started off road riding in my 60s,I've worked my way up from terrible to well below average.You are doing great!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

You Fucking rock man!

[@PlushEnduro]

Great race finish! I’m amazed at how you can keep a pretty constant narration. You’re an inspiration. Keep it up, love these hare scramble videos.

[@alexgresham7094]

Gonna be riding my first race April 8, a Sprint Enduro at Hard Labor Creek Off-Road Park in Chipley, FL. A huge part of it is thanks to you, Josh. Thanks brotha. Would be cool to see you there, but I'm pretty sure it isn't in your series. You're progressing very well, though. Don't be afraid to lean that bike over in the turns! I was always scared af to take a turn at ANY kind of speed, and once i finally got the balls to do it, my speed around the trails damn near doubled. Sometimes ya just gotta sack up.

[@theson6280]

Shade you might come last in the races but you come first in our hearts!! Keep up the good work man!!

[@leonrawls892]

Your videos are cool! Reminds me when I started way back in 80s! Was alot different back then. In my day have three championships one A open and year end highpoint. One A 200 HS and one B open enduro was H/S referre for 2 years. In my life got out of dirt bikes but at 62 years old jumping back into it. I'm a OTR truck driver and am SO out of shape! FTR rules make me ride golden master A but right now cant do what I use to do! Toby Keith Not as good as once was!

[@rikkilee9409]

i just started riding after a 25 year layoff. 1992 or 3 (moto x) i put a REKLUSE EXP3.0 on a KTM 200XCW. im only 155 lbs and 51 years old. planned on doing what you are doing. thanks for the great vids. remember keep the front tire light b4 mud pits and pin it. weight slightly back. im not a great rider but i got the mud pits down(small mud pits)

[@spacecowboyrides4762]

I've been wanting to race for year's. Because of these videos my first race is April 8. Thank you for the videos I look forward to every one.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Dude HELL YES! That makes me so happy :)

[@kilsekddd]

Hey man, thanks for the mention! I saw your bike at registration on Sunday morning, but didn't see you around. I love that you vocalize all the stupid shit that goes through my head during races.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Hell yeah dude, hope to meet ya at the Bartow race if you’re going!

[@kilsekddd]

I'll be there for sure. Prolly just showing up Sunday morning. I'll keep an eye out for your truck.

[@garya3056]

Despite the inauspicious start, nicely done, Josh. There’s a fine balance to higher and lower gear selection. In this run, I’d say you made some things tougher on yourself with the gear selection bogging down the bike and thus not allowing the “escape” you needed from the slower tougher spots of the course. Spin your plug out first chance you get and you probably fouled it a bit and that will prove the point. Nice job and keeping going, Bro.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Thanks for the tips brother!

[@nonaubiz8939]

Nice thing about being last place is you don't have the stress of falling behind any further. My life's dream...to be an inspiration to others because I suck. LOL, Seriously, great video, Josh. That looked like a total blast and took me back to my much younger days, I could feel the burn in my legs from dealing with all the rocks, etc. I miss riding in dirt. I usually don't watch such long vids, but I'm glad that I did, thumbs up.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Thank you for taking the time to watch it my friend, it truly means a lot to me :)

[@stansabick2700]

Frick-an-A that was awesome!!! 9th, and you went from believing that was going to be the worst/scariest race, to the least crashes, and pushing on some uncomfortable hills! Great Job, like you said at the beginning, these are some of my favorite videos that you put out! By the way, what ever you are doing to drop those pounds, it is really showing! I can't wait until riding season this year. We are still surrounded in snow, but I am going to drive out some where this weekend and find some open trail. I don't get to race due to the work schedule, and so I will be making the best of the trail rides this year.

[@johnfryman4428]

Hey Shadetree - You're getting faster ! Good job & Kudos for letting the pro riders by. Safer for everyone, and good race etiquette.

[@guymcdaniel2326]

Real men are honest about being scared of anything. Great video brother.

[@theretrorider8024]

Man, I love watching these. I've wanted to race since I was a kid and these videos have lit a fire under me to actually go out and do it. I hope you keep making them 'cause I'll definitely keep watching them! Really enjoyed the pre-race stuff too. What kind of stuff are they looking for at tech inspection? I always see you pull up and then the video cuts to somewhere else. Keep up the good work man!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

They check for a spark arrestor and for header wrap if you have a 4 stroke. I see your name is the retro rider... if you’re into vintage bikes I believe FTR also runs a vintage dirt bike class on Saturdays!

[@theretrorider8024]

Sick! Thanks!

[@kelsigraham4415]

First time watching one of your videos, really enjoyed it! Keeping it real for all us amateur riders who are just starting out and trying to learn more and ride better definitely entertaining 👏 👏

[@devonbaker2974]

Man you are doing great! Conquering those uphills! Love seeing the progress. Keep it goin!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

I seriously can’t believe I didn’t eat shit going up those things lol

[@chas106g.6]

Congratulations! Hard pack worked out pretty darn good! I always look forward to the racing videos.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Thanks man!!

[@creepermode01]

Your video commentary and streaming thought monologue are great. This course looks brutal. Nice job getting through it. Your video of your first hare scramble inspired this old man to give it a try this year. Hopefully I can post some cool vids like you. Thanks Shadetree

[@rayditzenberger9517]

I started riding over 50 years ago when there was no motoX in the states and trail bikes were our racers after lotz of modification. Thanks for the video. At 74 i have had the hankering to get another dirt bike. My first was a yamaha 100 followed by one of the first Pentons dix day trials. Sold it when life got in the way. Big mistake. Do nt know where to start. Want at least a 250 but more calm than a motoXer.

[@qcmotorider]

Its probably better to mess up at the beginning because then you've already got it out of the way and can concentrate on riding, at least for me anyway. I know there have been several occasions when I embarrassed myself in the most public way possible and I was like "well I already made an ass out of myself so who gives a shit now" then from that point on I did pretty good. LOL

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Hah! Funny how that works

[@gavinskipp3969]

Great going Dude. Having watched your other race vids your riding is getting more fluid and confident. you also are breathing better so your fitness is improving too. keep it up Josh...

[@fprintf]

Absolutely love the race videos way better than hopping on the bike and going to the bars! ;-) Solid content, happy to hear we're going to get to see more this season.

[@NorthernStone1]

Hey Shadetree! You an me boss, the few that still camp old school style at these races! Ripe it up man!

[@9milsOn2wheels]

You are defiantly improving with every race, one crash! Way to go, good job, keep it up!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

I was soooo stoked about the one crash thing... mainly because recovery time was way improved! Lol

[@betobeto7903]

You look good man! Your weight loss shows, good for you!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Thanks man! One pound at a time... goal is to weigh less than the KTM 😂

[@2smoker500A]

VERY good job ShadeTree, As I commented in your last vid. I've seen the progression. You're getting much better. And that gator back course is no joke. Grew up racing the MX track, And it was the last enduro race I competed in 2013 .Broke my back few months after that race . Haven't raced since ,however I want to I have the bikes need to get back out to crooms work my way back into it . Love that place also ,been riding & camping there since mid 70s .Maybe see you out there some time. If not best of luck to ya and keep the up the progress bother.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Damn, I’m sorry to hear about your injury man... I hope you ease back into riding soon!

[@2smoker500A]

shadetree surgeon Yep I will I've been riding & racing since age 6 and I've got 20 yrs on ya bro.But I the dude everyone's always tellin to grow up .LOL I respond with your only as old as you feel 55 Goin on 18 lol Although don't look my age either still get carded occasionally. Still street riding ,like I said need to get back to crooms .Actually when I was transitioning from mx to enduro my very 1st enduro race was at Croom and in 1989. Finished 1st in beginner class

[@knerdrider]

I don’t know how you find the course sometimes in those tight woods sections! Nice job not crashing (much). Some racing friends of mine have a saying: have fun and try not to suck!

[@leos8760]

Bro I'm just going through your races again cause I got the itch for racing since it's motocross season your awesome man you curse as much as me and you seem like a chill ass dude to ride with. Hope your still having fun with the enduros

[@oidirk]

Wow GatorBack! Brian ChaseJasperDown and I have filmed and taken photos there for @bdpmedias and I gotta say, even riding the quads down those quarry trails made me a lot nervous. Kudos man! Trail riding is a tough sport!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Thanks for watching man! And yeah I’ve seen you guys there before!!

[@phillybob5871]

Proud of you dude!Keep the vids coming ! Riding and racing harescrambles is really the only sport I do. It is the only reason for me to try and eat healthy and stay in shape. Don't let people who have no clue about doing harescrambles get to you . I see you love riding dirt bikes just like me ,keep it up,ride ride ride drink gallons of water and your times will drop. Shoot I bet you lost 5 Ibs just that race ! Peace ,Phillybob

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Hell yeah dude, birds of a feather... thank you for the kind words :)

[@Drake-472]

Well done. Need to be watching those arrows and watching ahead, not that front fender. At 41:31 trail looked to me like it went right. Much improved though. Love the vids. Braaaap on brother!

[@UnleashedSoldier]

Hey man, was super cool getting to meet you at Croom, I've never watched a video where a youtuber talked about me in it, also really cool, just got my 250 fixed and running right, still working to get the suspension redone though, little pricey but im sure well worth it, and my dad is getting himself used to the new bike, we are definitely committed to getting into FTR, seeing videos like this make us want to get out there even more! Hope to see you out at Croom again some time, was just there riding single track with the old man yesterday. Keep up the awesome content man!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

That’s awesome man! The suspension part is soooo important, but like you said... not cheap lol. Hopefully at some point we can all meet up and go for a ride together at croom

[@UnleashedSoldier]

shadetree surgeon yeah man that would be awesome! I'll do my best to keep up with your Instagram posts and try and get us out there when you are!

[@roadbike_5939]

Nice job Shade! Your skills and confidence is clearly improving.

[@travbrino]

Just made the drive down to Daytona from Canada this past weekend to watch the Supercross. I should have brought my bike to race this hare scramble! Your race videos are helping me through the long winter lol... I feel like I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to XC racing since I just did my first season this past summer which makes the videos that much more enjoyable 👍

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Hell yeah man! I’m just trying to get as many races under my newly this season as possible

[@dv8214]

I'm sure many of us were inspired by you. To ride offroad or race. next year I'm going to race hare scramble. you're inspiration helped me man up and race

[@shadetreesurgeon]

So awesome to hear man!!

[@rolandwong9059]

Hey, Josh - Shadetree Surgeon this was how I started with Jess - Her Two Wheels...my interests in things I have done feeling all the emotions & sensations I’ve enjoyed through another person’s perspective. Thank you for voicing your thoughts 💭 and how you soldier on in the face of adversity (& pain)...! What are you riding and I’ll knock on wood for you 😘

[@ryanmurphy1091]

I hear you on that one Josh about the hard pack dirt. Im From Massachusetts and recently went to Georgia and the red clay there is super hard pack it is nothing like the soft dirt from home

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Yeah it freaked me out! I liked it.. but it was definitely not what I’m used to. Deep sand is so much more forgiving!’ Haha

[@miccotheservicedog5559]

Getting a Beta 350rr this summer, can't wait to get in the dirt!

And the Healer of Arborous Shelter spake unto the masses. And He sayeth words of wisdom unto them. "Crashes can kinda hurt, at night it gets real dark, forgetteth thine plate and thou shalt dine from a cardboard box." And lo, the masses rejoiced. ;-) Always good to see one of your videos in my notification bar, whether it's racing, hanging with the STA, or camping. Keep on keeping on, all the best to you!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

This comment just won so fucking hard

[@jay34ever54]

That course looked crazy, Congratulations on finishing 9th and only wrecking once!!!

[@Burner-Adventure-Chronicles]

So, the former military, partial OCD ass I am .....get a camping box. (big bin/tub thing from wally world or somewhere) Get a packing list of things you have/need. Laminate or put in binder. Fill said tub. Have a check list of what you have. If/when you run low, check next to it. And, either post race or pre-race prep....check said list to see if you need anything. Oh, and stand the hell up, look ahead and smile. (my sky diver instructor taught me to smile while in free fall...it forces you to relax)

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Dude my unorganized sloppy ass could definitely use some military training!! Lol! Great idea though, I’m going to put that one into practice :)

[@davidkaser7423]

So do you like the mud, or dry ground better ? My first attempted race did not go as planned. I live in the mid west and flooding has hit our area hard. I was going to check out the track, and made it down the first muddy hill, through the creek, and on the other side was deep deep mud. Then I hit the muddy up hill, and only made it half way before I slid over. For the first race on a new bike I decided I would be better off to wait for dry ground since my skill level on a dirt bike is 0.

[@destroystreets1023]

your always working about these hills then you joeymac it right up there every time. keep up the riding your killing it man!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Thanks dude!

[@Randy_Cox]

If anyone ever wondered how much effect self talk has on a persons psychology this video is perfect. Full practice lap of "your gonna die", " person could get punished for hotdoggin", "I just hope I dont break my arm", "I gotta drive that truck home"......I could have told you how the whole race would go only seeing this part of video. One of the biggest things all athletes are thought is possitive thinking, goal visualisation and possitive talk. It is just like looking ahead and not watching the rut all they way to your tire. If you worry about the wreck and watch the rut....you crash in the rut. If you visualize yourself past the rut and down the trail, you drive right by it without issue. You almost sound like Rickey Bobby without the cougar in the car.🤣🤣

[@alexgresham7094]

BTW! As far as goggles go.... Have you checked out the Split OTGs by Scott? Made for guys with glasses, designed to be worn over glasses. Plus the anti-fog is AWESOME on them.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

I’ve used those and the 100% OTG goggles. Liked em both but the havoc with my sportRX inserts is treating me very well :)

[@alexgresham7094]

shadetree surgeon yeah man i will agree with you there.... the inserts look like an awesome way to go

[@rustedweights]

DUDE! HILARIOUS and loved and it looks like the funnest way to race!

[@dmsoundcollective6746]

Hey guys I'm looking on Craigslist for my first dirt bike I-225 basically the same size as Sean. Do you think it KZ 125 2 stroke would be a good first bike. I've got to find something under 1 grand

[@ndiego1204]

Totally dig the race videos! I’m up in Jacksonville and have been trying to get back into riding. Gotta get a bike first though! Keep it up! You’ve been progressing great!

[@nbt3663]

Shade, that was great! I watched all the way. Congrats!!

[@JTOWNDOWN1312]

Nice support good times shirt 👍🏻. Also I’m not really into dirt racing but I still watch every video you put out. They’re entertaining.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

I appreciate that support my man :)

[@johnthewolfheart8495]

Finally got to this, good job on crashing only once :) Post what you want man, some of us support regardless and your channel has more depth now. On to the next one!

[@mutt2jeff]

Even if your riding off-road endurance races, motocross experience is great. Go to a practice day and just spend all day running laps. Its immensely helpful with learning to corner quickly and handle the bike while in the air.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

I really want to try it out

[@gregorymallory]

I love race videos. Do you ever watch Graham Jarvis? The hard enduro racing is my favorite.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

LOVE that guy!

[@stephendavis7707]

good job ,you are improving and its on film great ride 1x fall in 3 x laps of a hard course fair play ,finishing was the goal and you got it done .... I really did not see anything embarrassing your a winner for trying (so easy to watch and make comments) we are remember'd for our actions more than for what we said ..try training at some other venues as when you show wednesday training your a lot faster than the race that may be some stress or new terrain or both..As for the feeling of anxiety befor the race i think we all do it i never sleep befor a race i am stressing so i think its normal thanks for sharing live the dream !!!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

You’re right! I’m way faster during training... like you said because I’m so familiar with that terrain. Gotta get outside of my comfort zone more during training

[@RAD_FAM3]

Hey man how many hours do you have on that top end? Have you replaced it? Any plans of you maybe getting a 4 stroke as a back up dirt bike?

[@FloridaTwoWheelAdventures]

I’m just catching up on your race videos, they’re great. I play around with my Honda CRF250L in the woods of Richloam but you’re making me want to try a hare scramble. I can only WISH I was 34 still. I’ll be 45 in January so yeah, I’m probably better of trying something else! I’ll keep watching these videos of yours and see if they continue to inspire me. Thanks!

[@wayneblackshire3207]

You should try it man im 49 and i do it

[@MarylandWearAndCarry]

This course looks like the most fun yet!

[@rebelred1458]

That is one gnarly course! Good job, man! Keep the vids comin'. We love them all

[@jonathanbridgstock4033]

kick ass man! great work! you are improving a heap and having a blast at the same time!

[@billg1374]

Great job man. Im sure its been said before, but try to have confidence in your riding. Dont ride thinking or saying, "dont crash", cause you will spend your time riding defensive and hesitant and probably crashing even more. I know its easier said than done, trust me, but confidence really helps me ride better. If i crash and that shit gets in my head i find myself for the next bunch of miles, bashing trees with my bars and feeling like its my first day on a bike. Just thought id throw that out. But keep up the awesome work!

[@MrLovestuck]

I love your race videos man! Gatorback is a wicked track -another ftr racer

[@petedetects7012]

Three laps more than I'll ever do. Great job dude 👏

[@Jb-rp2wm]

Another great race video. You are inspiring others more than you know.

[@davidrockwell9776]

Congratulations on beating your personal best!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Thank you! Gotta race against myself... I’m the only one I have a chance at beating 😂

[@peterlobb6456]

Need to dig my old xt out of the shed! Love these videos 😊☺

[@lance6462]

Nice video, talked to you for a min at gatorback. Planning bartow race this weekend as well, racing sat again. Good luck with next one.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Awesome! Great meetin ya man, hopefully I’ll be at the Bartow race, I’ve heard it’s gonna be an excellent track

[@KACHOWKEITH]

STAND UP MORE! =) also to help with camping make a google drive spreadsheet with a list of everything you need that you can easily and quickly refer to and add onto each race. If you can just go to propane grill which is like $20 at walmart that will last you a while and be less cleanup and work as charcoal. I grew up racing ftr hs and enduro with my dad and love seeing your videos and this one is especially nostalgic. maybe i will have to work on getting me and my gf into racing ftr again.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

The women there are super welcoming too! I’m doing my best to get Jessica in it as well :)

[@97delkron]

i realize this is a 2 yr old vid but i just stumbled up onto your channel. dig the content, especially the dirt stuff. i see you riding a 6 days ktm (great bike). guess if i could give a lil advice it would be get that thing to a suspension shop and have it set up for your weight and riding style. race bike suspensions are hella stiff and never smooth out unless you are riding fast. the slower you go the harder they are to ride and will kick your ass in an instant. if that bike were sorted for you it would be so much easier for you to ride and you would start having more fun and slowly pick up speed. love your attitude... keep at it!

[@MarylandWearAndCarry]

Lovin the enduro/scramble event videos.

[@dbikekid2169]

Keep at it man, Every time you ride you get a tiny bit better so focus on small improvements ride a lot and you might be pretty surprised with the result. Awesome video's a lot of fun to watch best of luck in future events mate.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Thanks brother! Got another one coming up this Sunday 🤠

[@BeRADMoto]

That poster...❤️😂😂😂

[@bradyzeegs3469]

Hey bro love the videos! I grew up on dirt bikes and haven't ridden in 25 years. I got a bike, toy hauler and I'm ready to get out there and scramble! I was wondering if you have ever though about coming out to Washington for the desert 100 in Odessa??

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Never even heard of it, but hell I’d give it a shot if I could make it out there!!

[@boone7075]

Your making me want to get a dirt bike , I’m 46 ......... I don’t wanna go to small or too big . Any suggestions ?

[@stevecrawford7814]

Love these old race videos.

what are they talking about, loving the race videos...

[@shadetreesurgeon]

That makes me happy 🤠

[@shimjocky]

Agree wholeheartedly!

[@tomedwards159]

Congrats your getting better with every race

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Thanks Tom!!

[@FatalMuffin]

Awesome video dude. Hey I just wanted to say, I'm new to racing too (Just did my 3rd District 37 race out here in California) and I recently got a steering dampener and got it tuned just right. Made a HUGE difference. I went from 4 crashes my second race to 0 my 3rd race. It doesn't look like you got one on there, but maybe you do? Maybe tighten it up a tiny bit if so. Just a tip from a fellow beginner.

[@vinnyrides]

Good job man! your getting better..I like the channel especially the vids when your partying with the group..looks like fun.

[@davebruzdzinski424]

I enjoy your racing videos the most, I was gonna do my first hare scramble last weekend but I broke my collarbone instead so now I’m healing up and gotta wait 3 months! Oh well!

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Oh shit! I’m so sorry to hear that man, you’ll be in my thoughts. Make sure to let me know when you finally get to do your first race!

[@richardporter1455]

Man it looks like so much fun but like you I just can't risk a broken arm or leg and be out of work for months. I would like to get a beater 250 some day and do some trail riding. Thanks for the video.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

I couldn’t recommend it more! Even if you never race it’s still the most fun ever

[@cspoon123]

Hey Man, I it bad that my heart is racing and I'm trying twist our throttle watching your videos, You cracks about yourself are hilarious, I yell at my self all the time. LOL

[@RidingJapan]

i like that u are showing more of the before now,
