Yesterday i did my 2nd race of the year, and my 3rd race ever. i raced in the c200 class. got 8th in the first moto, and got a terrible start in the second moto but worked my way up from 22nd to 13th. Got 8th overall out of 34 riders in my class. could've did a lot better, but i had fun. anyways here's the gopro videos from the first and second motos, enjoy and tell me what you think

Something about you makes people go into a spastic fit when you approach! Some of those were plumb funny!

Haha i noticed that! I guess i just put a lot of pressure on people ringing out the 150 so much!

I'm coming up there and doing a JDAY. They look like a ton of fun! Wide open and all out for thirty minutes.

How come you didn't take the endure cross section?

Technically the easy section is supposed to be about 5 seconds slower, but i figured with the amount of people that could be crashing in the xtreme section in c class it would be faster to just do the easy route, which had a ton of flow if you didn't get stuck behind slow riders. and i didn't want to risk crashing and getting hurt in the xtreme section just to save a few seconds, because whats a few seconds to a c class rider anyway? I now realize that i probably could've done better if i did just go for the xtreme section but at the time going around it seemed like the better option.

Gotcha. We have those options in our races also. I always take the easy slower way on the first lap, just too much carnage. Then the technical, fast way on the rest of the laps. C class is dangerous in those sections though. You never know what will happen right in front of you and quite possibly end your day early, LOL, I loved racing C class!

Exactly! in c class people fall over for no reason in the most random places, and add an xtreme section to that and you got people crashing all over!

Apparently, there is no shifting allowed!

hahahahaha! yeah i was definitely disregarding the fact that i have more than 3 gears in some spots, i guess it just didn't seem necessary at the time!
