went to two new (to me) tracks last weekend did vir patriot sun and vir north monday. patriot was really easy to learn its only a mile long and half of it is vir south which ive already been on. north on the other hand not so easy. its hard to tell in the videos but almost every turn on that course has either a blind entry or exit and most of them your either climbing or dropping as you go through them..... crazy crazy track
patriot yes that is a little 80cc 2t minibike apparently the are hugely popular in japan and there's a whole series devoted to racing them.

Thanks, I know the old view was getting a bit stale but is was the only one that didnt get massive amounts of wind noise. Someone at the track told me to try putting a piece of elec. tape over the mic hole. Worked awesome I think so I should have all kinds of different angles going on now. On a side note I found out this week that im "the fast guy" at ncbikes lol kinda cool guess. Everyone there fully exspects me to eclips the lap record within the next couple weeks

Sounds good. The engine is so loud onboard that the tape doesn't take anything away from it. I think dropping the volume that way makes it a little cleaner sound actually.
Way to kick ass!

went back to ncbike sunday to have another crack at the lap record. wound up only doing a 1:33.2 and crashing lol. caught it all on video though.
first the fun one
i feel like this is my fastest session of the day. felt good to be the fastest guy on track again too. have i mentioned how much i like this view. if you watch it full screen you can see everything in my visor. and then you get to see everyone's reactions when i pass them lol
and this one wont so bad either
haha post 666

You were going for it. The first time off track you could hear the rear wheel skipping as you were trying to stop. Hope there was not too much damage to your bike. When you get on the grass there is not a lot of grip if you brake, I know! When I did it though the bike landed on my leg, had a bruise from my toes up to my hip. Looked quite impressive lol

That is a good view, plus it looks like you want to eat the camera on the straight. No one's passing you in any of your vids anymore!

was trying out the Michelin cup again. going fast still seems to be more work on these tires but i do like the way the front feels under heavy braking over the dunlop gpa front
in this video me and my buddy rj duke it out for a couple laps before we get called in for "racing too hard" lol
finally got a new helmet too! had to settle for black but whatcha gonna do? got the nexx xr2 carbon speed helmet, 1200g of pure awesomeness and a shield thats dark as fuck
and i think the gopro overheated when we got stuck in pit out waiting for a fallen red group rider to come off the track so there is only like 7 min on this clip
