BARF Dirt Riders?

[JeebusX]

Any BARF dirtbike riders out there? I just got a dirtbike so I am looking for some people to ride with at Hollister. It's been about 1.5 years since I rode dirt so I kinda want to take it easy. Anyone interested?

i just got a dual, if it's newbie/dual friendly ride, please count me in.

 

[steveac]

if yu guys want to do a newbie day.. metcalf is much better
that and its 10 minutes from my house.

We are driving down to Hollister from San Jose Saturday early morning. PM me if you're interested...

 

[JeebusX]

I think it will be more of a "Let's take it easy" ride until we actually get out there, then it will be a "Let's go like hell" kinda ride. That's usually how things go! Anyway, riding is always about having a good time so let's do it.

Out of our group of 5 riders, 3 are beginners and 2 are advanced dirt riders. You choose who you want to ride with

 

[steveac]

id consider myself experienced.. but not advanced.
i can take doubles , but am not comfortable getting extreme air.
i can do 99% of black diamond trails with any problems.

although i might be a bit slower on them.

 

[JoeBar]

I usually ride with the advanced guys. When they go fast, they wait for me, when they jump, I watch :teeth

 

[JeebusX]

Yeah, I have been riding since I was 10 so I do OK but I recently had ACL surgery so I need to take it easy at first to see how it goes. No need to be back on those stupid crutches again!!

JeebusX, I, Jimboecv, recently popped my ACL and have been waiting to get back into the dirt just like you. I did the knee in March and haven't been in the dirt since. I'm going to see Dr. Ting tomorrow for my follow up so we'll see what he sez...
One more reason not to crash? I've gained 25 pounds since I blew my ACL.

[JeebusX]

Hurts doesn't it?:cry I did mine New Year's Eve and had the surgery in March. The injury has healed great, it's just the leg muscles around it that I need to build up again. I will definitely be using a brace! Can't wait to get out there again though, it is sooo much fun

 

[sad=man]

give me a few months. then I'll be a dirt rider :teeth

 

[jimboecv]

Yeah my leg is really skinny now. Talk about a bummer? My bike's an XR400 and it was my second ride. Only 78 miles on it and it got parked for 6 months. Good news is, I got all new gear while I was waiting. I'm going to see if the Doc will write me a perscription for braces (which he said he would anyway) so I can get'em and get riding and doing anything outside. Ugh, I can't wait. At lease we missed the hot weather and dust, huh?

Once it starts to rain a little I'll be switching over for a few dirt days...Butch usually takes me out and whoops up on me..between him and starting the dam 400 Yamaha..I am well done by the end of the day..:teeth

I wear a brace for my abra-cadavered ACL..it works pretty damn good! I would recommend to any one with a knee problem.

I like to ride in the dirt, but I prefer Carnegie over Hollister. Does anybody else ride at Carnegie? I would be really interested in a BARF dirt ride, especially after it rains a little. I'm a pretty decent trail rider and hill climber, but "big air" to me is getting about 3 feet off the ground.

 

[longwaytofall]

i ride in the dirt, so if we are making a ride, just count me in! i like hollister the best, and metcalf is cool too. we should get a huge party going on some weekend up at hollister, that would be deep.

 

[mcwong153]

What kind of bike do you guys have? I am planning on getting one but I am not sure which is best for me and this area.

 

[JeebusX]

A Mille R? I hate you. You can't come riding with us.

Just kidding, sweeeeeet bike. I want one!

Small 4 strokes are always nice to start out on.

 

[OldFatGuy]

I have a CR500, which I would NOT reccomend as a starter bike.
