    After Battle Review

    Woman "rider", obligatory comment on subject: So glad I don't put up with this crap at the track anymore. Heck I haven't even attended the last few and I've never been less stressed. I can honestly say that in going on 11 years riding that only two handfuls of families and 3 promoters have ever...

    Racer Chasers!

    Racer chasers... I like to use a more descriptive term. Girl racer of 10 years and nothing made me more nauseated that these people. I hate them. I'm glad they pointed out a difference that helps me not feel so uneasy at the moment. At least I know stuff about bikes, even if I'm not riding...

    Amherst Meadowlarks MX RACE on Sunday Sept 22, 2013

    Sunday was one of those days I really wish I could have been out there, track looked super rough! Hope to see everyone back for October 13. Amherst really puts on a nice show, great for the family. Points and results are completely updated, for those chasing the year end award don't forget...

    Painting versus Picture

    Definately right on, I'll go ahead and say its watercolor from the dirt, looks like he used a lifting technique of sorts in spots. I like how its mostly blurred, does he plan on leaving it that way? I never know what to do with my backgrounds. Here is my most recent painting...

    Painting versus Picture

    That guy's looks like acrylic or tempura, maybe even heavy water color. I use acrylic, but would love to try oil with this, it's too expensive for me. I tried this gel stuff and it gave an impasto effect, gave dirt better definition. My last one was less than half the size Mitchy's will be...

    Painting versus Picture

    I just finished a dirtbike painting for a friend on Friday, think that's the 3rd or 4th this year. Have a drawing lined up and another painting for after. Need to decide on the material for that one yet, and wait til I have full motion in my shoulder and no head pains from my crash Sunday.

    Sunday April 28 OIR or TV Land

    That old start was my favorite thing about that track next to the pro uphill or whatever y'all called it. That said I'm most likely not riding next week anyway. If I felt like buying another membership I'd go to oir since I haven't been there in 2 years.

    OMA X classes

    This. Make the changes, you started with the intentions of making something completely new. Don't be afraid of completely turning things upside down!

    OMA X classes

    Brilliant idea: rename A, B, and C to Advanced, Intermediate, and Beginner. Who wants to be champion of the Beginner Class?!?! Or, then better yet, absolutely forbid any kind of points or series award for the beginner class (trophies are always nice for new riders). Gives sandbaggers no real...

    What did ya get for Christmas!

    ^^That's sick. Mom got me a GoPro, Dad got me an art studio desk, boyfriend got me my own pair of roll-off goggles and a stearing stabilizer already installed on bike. Among other stuff. I gave Eric my toolbox, another goggle case (still needs another too), and this:

    Looking for these gear sets

    Ohh man I must not know how to use eBay or something...I got crap for results. I think I might go for it, although I asked him today he said he wears size 32. I'll make him fit.. Glad there is still time left! Hope I could manage to get it in time for Christmas. Never been to Iron Pony, but...

    Looking for these gear sets

    I am looking for two different sets of gear. I don't care if gloves are included or not, and prefer the pants most of all (will buy separate). New or used, anything should be better than the conditions we have. Sizes are pending/approximate (I don't know our sizes and not asking the man because...

    any ideas on how to get in good riding shape during the offsaeson??

    If you have a desk job, one thing you could do is squeeze something like a ball, or whatever those hand-squeezy things are, while you're at work. I used to, whether that had anything to do with how I rarely got armpump I don't know. Depending on whether you sweat or not I would also suggest one...
