OXCR 2019 Round 1 Banshee

[@markmtbrider]

How did you finish and in what class?

[@buckeyebanshee]

markmtbrider I run novice 25+ for class and I finished 8th after losing my coolant and not completing that lap and some how scoring didn’t score me a lap (a common issue from what I understand). I had fun and have corrected the coolant issue.

Look like a fun course!! You do pretty good if you get around all those dumb heads that can't ride LOL

[@buckeyebanshee]

670 XC it was a very fun course for sure. It was very frustrating for the first 4 minutes because of people in front of me screwing up in turn screwing me up. There were also a lot of sections that were extremely rutted out from the dirt bikes and when one of those ruts grabs your front tire you go where it goes. I got stuck multiple times because those ruts put me where I couldn’t fit. I need to do better at not following people and picking lines better. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

@@buckeyebanshee , part of learning I've been racing since 2000 off and on. You definitely don't want to follow to close there's a lot of people that cant race their just trail riders 😁 my buddy is about my age he just build a XC banshee last year he had one years ago

670 XC my second season racing though I only did 4 races last year. I’ve been riding for 28 years. Banshees are a blast but take a lot of work and money to be xc ready. I love mine outside of my stupid coolant hose choice. This was my first time riding it with a single carb setup and it was wheelie’ing on me a lot more than usual. Add to that I had no rear brakes at all for the race and it was definitely a fun challenge. Next race will be loads better and the video will be better as well. Thanks again for watching and commenting always good to talk to fellow riders/racers.

Now I want a banshee, where I live there is a bunch of sugar sand and it’ll be fun to rip rooster tails for 10 ft behind me ! Keep it up

[@buckeyebanshee]

*GnarledChimp468* ! One of the biggest complaints I get from other racers is it’s no fun to be behind me because of the amount of roost the banshee throws. Get one you won’t regret it! Thanks for watching and commenting.
