It's 90% done prick, I mean my friend :D Just had to place the plywood in there to dry.

20 minutes to cut trapezoids and screw them down.....

[rray62]

That was 300% better!!!!!!!!! See how much smoother it throws you and the landings? We'll work on body positioning at TF. Great job dude!!!!!

[Dirtcrasher]

^ Awesome, I totally tried to focus but you could hear when I screwed it up and vocalized it :lol:

We will be there nice and early, probably this Sunday or Monday AM. I'll see you Wednesday!! I tried to focus.....

[tri-Z ripper]

Looks good steve a little blip keeps that front tire from nose diving that's for sure!

[rray62]

here you go Steve, I made a small video for you

WOW, thanks so much bud. I need to get my speed up rather than blip the throttle. I never tried your riding style until a week ago. It takes time to change your riding style but I tried to focus on what you said and started to get comfortable with it.

You make it look so smooth and simple. The fear is the first thing that has to go. I have no fear here at home but Haspins will be a whole new ball game!

Yes, you do make it seem so smooth!! Can't wait to see you; We'll be there soon!! I've got ants in my pants!!

YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS THING FOR A RIP!!!!!

Thanks Rob!!

Steve awesome vid- i gotta ask what you have done to that 350x engine - it sounds very stout!

[Dirtcrasher]

Just 10.5:1, Webcam and spings/retainers, No air box lid, Suppertrapp exhaust, 160 main, 86/250r Front end with progressive springs, 08 Take off 450R rear with a mount I made to accept an NOS 86 250R rear shock. I'll let the damping tuning in to my friends. But it does soak up allot very well!!

I'd like a 450 FCR carb but with another head.

It is very ZIPPY! No complaints!

I'm gonna send out another NOS head and have some larger valves installed as well as some porting.

These 18" Trekkers changed the whole game, I LOVE 18" Trekkers!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If your doing a trail machine with a 10.25:1 wiesco and you want fuel economy and reliability wouldnt you want to stay with a stock cam (in my case of course). Also with a upgraded cam wouldnt i need to then spend another 150-200? Hardface the rockers, new springs etc? I know your the 350x guy and I dropped my motor off at the shop yesterday for rebuilt...just gotta decide the route i wanna take. Its strickly a fun trail bike. I was told by the shop guy that with a new piston and rings its gonna wake it up a ton and i wouldnt need anything but the stock cam but i would appreciate your second opinion.

Thanks!

Geeze Rob, you make it look really easy. What gears are you hitting those smaller woops in vs. the large jump?

[rray62]

^ Believe it or not, I did all those jumps in 4th. They can be done in 3rd, but it would be in the powerband and I'm not used to jumping that way, plus I like to hit everything a gear high just in case I need to bring the front end down and I won't run out of rpm's to do it.
Alright Steve, I was thinking and here is a great way to explain about the throttle. Picture in track and field the long jump and the high jump. On the long jump they get to top speed and stay there until they leap. That gives maximum distance and little height. On the high jump they start slow and build speed until they leap. If you are in the process of accelerating hard on the face you will get maximum preload and the bike will "pogo stick" you higher. A constant throttle will keep the bike settled and predictable, as long as you're not going too fast. Hope this comparison helps you out.

[Dirtcrasher]

Thanks very much; See ya soon!!

[stroberts22]

Rob, that was awesome. I don't know anyone that hits the big jumps on a 3 wheeler like you do. Did you build all them jumps with the Mahindra or did you have a dozer?

[rray62]

Tabletop, rhythm and berm made with dozer, the mahindra did the rest

[Dirtcrasher]

Did you make that beak yet? :lol. You know what I mean Chicken Hawk!

[Kintore]

Looks like there will be a Chickenhawk training session at TF! Rob im truly jealous you have a wicked setup in your backyard! I want that bad!

[rray62]

Did you make that beak yet? :lol. You know what I mean Chicken Hawk!

Unfortunately I had to take it off, the new helmet pushed it down on my nose too much and I couldn't breath :(
