Superchicken, the dirt is my favorite place as well! I did the Shane Watts Dirt Wise school this weekend at our club in west Marin. Great guy, and an incredible rider. Learned a bit, rode a lot, and I'm feeling it today! I'll have to get some pics up one of these days.

Ok, easy to see why he could teach a thing or 2. good to have an adrenalized workout! My son lost interest, and the price of gas has put the hurt on my dirt riding sch. You have a club grounds? Once I attended a vintage trial at Marshall, that was cool event. My xr 200 is a 2002 model and I'm on my 4th set of tires. It has been a really fun bike. The rear shock, went , so I got a ebay xr250, and had it serviced, what an improvement.

Yeah, our club holds a trials event once a year, the cow pile trials. Is that the event that you rode? I did it a few years back when I was riding trials a lot, and won the sportsman class. My one and only trials event! I've since sold the trials bike, but it was a fun sport for sure. I've got a new low mega-pixel camera on the way, and should be able to post some pics on 305 site soon.

I think that cowpie sond right! I think 5 or 6 years ago is when I rode it, seam's like maybe it was on both sides of the road.
