OK Folks My Video Racing Debut

[garrettccovington]

David Harvey filmed this Saturday.  He had to slow down to film it.  This will give you a Idea of the tracks we race on out west.  This track was fantastic.  Alot of Fun.  The ARX crew is the best.  Can't wait till next year.

If it doesn't work, go to the American Retrocross face book page.  David has it labled Garrett's video. Race 4 Moto 1.  I'm also inRace 4 moto 2.  Rons video.   I actually did alot better in Rons video.  I'm on bike #979 KTM 250

Garrett,  Hey, that was a great video to watch.  Interesting track.  Is the surface sand?   It must be nice out West....  you guys are racing while I'm shovelling snow.   Oh, just call it Winter outdoor training, and it sounds fun, doesn't it.   Joe

This is moto 2.  I'm on the right of David Harvey, who's on a 84 yz490. I'm on bike #9. I was so shocked when the Kawi went by me I thought something was wrong with my bike, so it messed up my start.  I latter found out he was on a KX500.  Plus he is a very good rider.  My main competition is Tom Flores on the AMMEX.  He is a real class guy and his bike is really nice.  He passes me by the scoring tower but on the down hill he almost collides with Tom M. and has to go off the track.  Right after that me and Steve V. interlock bars, but you don't see that.  Steve's not in my class, so no sense messin with him,  besides he's pretty good, but I kept him sight for a few more laps.

Anyways enjoy

Very nice riding -- smooth!  I will call you when we get to Wrightwood on Thurs and see what the plan is.  Best, John

Joe,, Its a mix of everything.. They really are neat tracks to ride on. Actually, I had my Fieldsheer Street gear on.  Its alot warmer and the body armor is alot thicker than my MX gear.

 The video doesn't really show how hilly it is, but it is.  I can't tell you how much fun it is.  

I wish there was a video of Lloyd B, Victor M, or Bill L.  Those guys flat haul a!

I'm actually gonna go out and practice this next year.  I gotta figure out how to go around corners better. After my crash, I've lost alot of confidence. Tom Flores gave me some pointers, so I need to practice what he taught me.  Tom is alot faster than me, He just needs to be consistant.
