Thanks @LawnmowerRG , @Chitza , @jrobinson , and @KrisCook  and whoever else had a hand in setting up or organizing this event!  My crew all had a blast, and they all leveled up in riding skill, and have been talking about it all the ride home.   ;D

Glad to help. They all improved as the day went on.

I'll look at putting on a dirt gymkhana later in the fall or first of next year.

Sent from somewhere  on the road, I hope.

Thanks to Rodney for setting this up as well as everyone else who helped to make this possible.  As always I had a great time and it was great to be able to see and hang out with all the cool kids!

Of course I took a few pics.

Riding down with James, Johnny and Chuck.

Good job!  The drone definitely gives a different perspective than a video shot from the ground would.

It was good to see you folks. Really enjoyed seeing the 2 young girls improving as the day went. Wanted to ride the course but wrestling 975 lbs bike 2 days after an auto accident just was not in favor on the back and neck. Riding down and back home about did me in.

That was awesome.

Thanks for the video.  Admittedly, I've never seriously considered attending because I assumed it was all very crowded with skilled riders on nimble bikes who would only shake their heads sadly at a fat man on an even heavier motorcycle.  However, the video demonstrated realistic obstacles, a variety of bikes, and we all KNOW this is a friendly and supportive group.

So as long as folks are friendly and will help lift a bike...multiple times if necessary, I hope to attend in the future.
