Went to Cahuilla Creek MX today to put in some seat time on the MX bike, and the track was in awesome condition.   The last few weeks the track has been getting better and better and today, despite a reasonable crowd, never got rough or dry all morning long.   There were excellent lines through every corner with many inside berms and I had a great time.   Check out the pictures below, I didn’t wander around the track too much, so only a few different views.

After a long break, I headed out to Starwest to spin some laps on their latest track.  I hadn’t been there in probably 8-10 months or so, and it was good to get back out and ride a tighter track.  Good day of riding with friends!

Pala Raceway hosted the press intro for the new 2011 KTM motocross bikes and I headed out as part of the Transworld MX contingent to shoot photos.   KTM brought out their entire line of motocross bikes, including the new 350SXF as well as a couple 2-stroke holdouts, the 250SX and 150SX.  I didn’t get a chance to ride the 2-strokes, but I did ride the line-up of 4-stroke bikes.   The 350 was a very fun bike with much more power than I was expecting.   Below are some photos of Mike Sleeter, KTM and TWMX test rider, turning laps on the 350.

The culmination of the 2010 spring series was at Competitive Edge in Hesperia, CA.   The track was ripped deep and watered in the morning making some deep ruts in the corners, but the track held up well as the day progressed.   Look below from highlights from the day, and click the following link to see all the photos: VET X Spring Series Round 6 Photos

One of the local motorcycle dealers in Vista had an open house this weekend with one of the highlights being freestyle demonstrations from both street bikes and dirt bikes.  I went out to catch some photos of local rider Bryce Hudson as well as the other riders.  Bryce has been working hard on his skills and it is great to see his hard work paying off.   Check out the photo gallery below for the photos.

The first Proride ride day of 2010 was held at Perris Raceway.   The track was in excellent condition for the private ride day and the turnout was higher than normal.  The track was busy for most of the day with split riding sessions from mid-morning until the afternoon.   There is a few highlight photos below, and for a complete gallery of photos, click the following link:   Proride.com Ride Day Photo Gallery

Perris raceway was the host of the third round of the Spring Series.   The track had been changed up a little in the previous days with some new doubles added in.   The track crew ripped the track deep in many sections which made ruts form in some of the corners as well as some choppy sections.   The turnout was a little on the light side with only 179 entries, but was a great day of racing.   To find all of the photos from the race, click on the following link:    CLICK HERE FOR ALL PHOTOS FROM THE RACES

Took the day off work and headed to the hills to Barona Oaks MX in East County San Diego.   The spring weather was incredible and the track was in great shape with a small crowd.   I met up with some of the Transworld MX crew as they did some testing and an interview of Ron Lechien.

A group of friends and I headed out to the Old Chaney Ranch to get in some riding at the secluded semi-private track.   With all the rain this winter the surrounding area was very green, which is a once a year thing around here.  There was a fog bank covering Lake Henshaw on the way out, but the weather at the ranch was excellent.  The track is a mix of long outdoor sections with plenty of technical jump sections added in.  The owner’s hospitality is excellent and the track was in great shape at the beginning of the day.   Big thanks to everyone at Chaney Ranch for letting us come out and spend the day riding.

The first day of the Vet X Winter series 2-day finale was at Perris Raceway.  The rain held off and the track conditions were excellent with the cloud cover helping keep the track from drying out.  It was a clean day of racing with very few crashes.  For photos from the even, click here for Perris Round 5.
