Awesome pics dude.

And the bike came back together really nicely

In that 5th photo it looks like you're kicking up a lot of sand... did the wind blow it all over the track or something? Looks scary as shit spread all over the place there.

I was hoping that was smoke... It looks like thats a fresh darky from the pic just before it.

It looks like sand to me to!

Thanks dudes!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure thats some dirt (not smoke)that was pushed on there causing a "slight" loss of traction. I'm nowhere near the point were I'm spinning the rear on exit. I would prob crap out "hersheys kisses" from the puckering/crapping I would be doing.

What happened was...Earlier in the day, some idiot went off the track and decided it was a good idea to enter right at the apex. When he entered the track, he brought with him a pile of dirt and postponed the session for 15min or so until they could clean up the mess. They did make him help with the clean up.

I dunno. I've had the back slide on me and I'm pretty sure I've felt it spin before, but never intentionally. Hopefully with time I'll be able get a better feel of what the rear is doing, to the point were I can do it on purpose without getting "spooked".

Think that's where dirt riding experience really comes in handy.

yeah, i agree, i used to race xcountry style on my old quad, i think it helps out alot, but also can give you alot of bad habits that you have to work on to get rid of

You got a torque monster, he's got a 600. I hope you can spin the tire coming out.
