I hope you guys know how lucky you all are here in California. It took me forever to escape NY. Listening to you guys talk about the places you ride just kills me. On Long Island there is almost no place left to ride. All the vacant lots are buildings now. You don't even see dirt bikes in dealerships. Or motox gear on the racks. What's the point? If you do find a piece of land to run on, it's probably about 75 yards wide, and 100 yards deep. That size would be considered olympian. And the word gets out almost immedietly, so after two weekends the place gets real busy with bikes, then the cops show up. Lots of bikes get impounded. Game over. There is of course, way out east. Totally flat, and all fire roads. Great fun.
My first run around Hollister, I nearly crapped in my pants. Where were the barbed wire fences? The piles of junked cars? The I beams sticking out of old foundation walls, with burms wrapping around them? We left the truck, and didn't see it again for an hour!
Minus the dozen or so off road trips I took this year, while trying to learn your tracks quicker than I should have, I don't see moto X being nearly as valuable to road racers as keeping both your wheels on the ground while sliding everything everywhere. Flat track is the key, I think. The crashes hurt less, too.
