HI,
Here's some video of my ride at Sunset Ridge in Walnut IL. Great time riding but need more quads to show up for practice! There were two of us till the canam threw a rod. Then it was me all by myself! ANyhow, amazing track, super fun and fast.

Looking good out there Mark! That can-am was pretty quick around there. Maybe we can go ride one of these days, even thou I'm not much of a MX guy I will try and keep up.

Yeah, let me know next time you head there. It's probably about 45 minutes to an hour from my place. I've never ridden there either. I'm not much of an MX guy either, but that place is suppose to be great.

Hi,
It is so, so sweet to ride on! I was riding a bit reserved cause I can't afford to get hurt and the track had been changed a lot since last spring when I was last there.
I will try to post in this forum before I go next time. It would be so sweet to have a bunch of us Dalers out there!
Even through their season is officially over, one of the owners told me to check their phone and website cause if they get good weather, they may open for a few more practices this year!
God bless...

Though still not blazing fast, here is video from my last two laps of the day. I was getting more comfortable on the track, though I was more tired as well, but they are a little faster...
