RND 9 THE PUNISHER NYOA - MY RACE // 2023

what's up everyone
Man this race was intense and its one that is gna take a while for me to forget. Great start which was crucial this round with the conditions grabbing a sweet holeshot. Kevin got around me early lap one the fields were a free for all i was ok chasing him around and see how he faired when we go into the bad areas of the track. Lap 2 Kevin took the creek bypass and i went threw it retaking the lead. Lap 3 we hit a small bottle neck Jesse got around me and maybe Kevin too not really sure as it was hard to tell who was who with all that mud 🤣 again those guys skipped the creek section and i took it regaining the lead once again about 2-3 miles from the finish i came up on a lapped rider who ended up getting stuck in front of me on a hill which caused me to get stuck Kevin and Jesse got around me such a heart break i had this race and rode smart all race w exception on this last incident and there was no where to go. Ended up 3rd and 23rd overall this was all i needed to secure the 2023 senior A championship so we will focus on the big picture and look to redeem myself in 2024 at this location.

[@ziriussapodacaa3090]

This track looks like so much fun to ride! 💯

[@ononewheel7]

It was actually a blast even with the mud.

[@JacksonDelafield]

The track would have been bad for the minis at least idk about the adults it was where the Amazon river or Mississippi river was.when me and my friends rode the track when we were working and my yamaha raptor 125 that runs the limited class couldnt make it .there was a giant puddle of mud that would boug you down then there was a stright up hillclimb

[@torturedskull]

I had to miss this one due to work, but man it looked wet but still wish I could have made it, nice job man!

[@ononewheel7]

Bummer. The track was actually fun that beginning 6 or 7 miles was awesome and flying threw that creek was a blast haha. Thanks man you gna make rnd 10?

[@torturedskull]

another good holeshot .

[@ononewheel7]

Thanks man. Def a must for these conditions 🤣

[@867diesel]

@@ononewheel7 and for dusty conditions

[@ononewheel7]

Yup it works for all conditions. I have yet to test it in the dust 🤣🤣🤣 been a muddy year here

[@867diesel]

@@ononewheel7 i wish i could say the same

[@ononewheel7]

Its been a crazy year thats for sure

[@Jcarney87]

What class you running ?

[@ononewheel7]

Senior A (40+)

[@Jcarney87]

Awesome. I always ran 22’s if it was gonna be wet. A lot more sidewall flex in the turns but i never got stuck in the ruts. I run senior b 30+ on bike last year and will this year. Previous ten years rode novice on quad. I run the WNY fall series.

[@ononewheel7]

@@Jcarney87 nice man. I used to have a set of 23” fronts and 22” rears i used at snowshoe a couple times in some knarly mudders 🤣

[@coryemerson9225]

Love watching your videos. You ride smooth and smart. You don’t push the issue if it’s not there. You stay back just enough to stay out of the roost reserving goggles (tear offs/roll offs). Patience pays off in these types of races. One wrong line and your stuck and lose 30 seconds. IIRC you run a Rekluse clutch right?

[@ononewheel7]

@@coryemerson9225thanks man. I do run a rekluse. This race i tried to be smart wish the last lap incident was avoidable but in that moment i was mot paying attention and drove right into a bottle neck loosing 2-3 minutes and 2 positions i had the win so close 😢

[@jasonrood]

How many degrees of camber do you run?

[@ononewheel7]

3 i think is recommend for xc with the houser setup it may be a touch more with the way there upper ball joints adjust.

[@jasonrood]

I'm only one not sure to go more or not

[@ononewheel7]

@jasonrood add more and test ride it.

[@jasonrood]

My only test ride is at the races

[@ononewheel7]

Well better change that method 🤣🤣🤣
