OK, here we go... Ross and I met up with Curt on Saturday morning for some riding before the crazy guys got there... it was a beautiful weekend...

Ross has troubles with one of his R's before we even made it in the gate... good thing he brought 2!

Curt (ITRIKE)

I rode so fast I ripped the weld right out of my grab bar... can you believe the power that little blaster can make!! :lol: :lol:

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff112/divergal1967/Silverlake%2009_2008/IMG_0326.jpg

My new grab bar... I lost the weld on that one the next day and the flag to boot (See it had to be the speed!)

As with any Silverlake trip, there is always fun things to look at

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff112/divergal1967/Silverlake%2009_2008/IMG_0333.jpg

The only "accident" we had the first day (besides the grab bar) was Curt landing on Ross... nothing but a bit of rubber added to Ross's shock... whew!

We met up with Matt, Ed and Jeff Sat Night, then Wide Open Sean and his friends found us at breakfast on Sunday. Sadly there are no pictures of the slick track races since we were all in the cars...

It sure look's like you all had a great time,and the pic's are awesome Shannon.Next year I promise too make it over to the dune's and show you's how it's done..How come you kept breaking your flag mount's Shannon? And Kurt where's your paddle's,Did'nt you buy some from GPVLarry,I thought.And Jeff ,where's the T3?? Oh I need to know how kurt landed on Ross,Detail's Please..

shannonw

09-22-2008, 08:10 AM

I'll let Curt tell you how he landed on Ross, I wasn't over the hill yet, but as for the flag mounts, I'm sticking with the story that I was riding so fast on my blaster it just ripped them right off... (honestly though... we have no idea, I think the poor little thing was vibrating so hard to try and keep up, the welds just let go :lol: )

I also stand by the story that the test hill was as high and as steep as it was in June, when I couldn't make it over... and the reason I did this time is that I am a WAYYYY better rider now!!!:w00t: :w00t:

GREAT PICS !!! Roger as far as those paddles go why must you rub salt in a wound:mad: I didn't really land on Ross but close, Going up one of those steep short dunes , Ross was drifting a little to the right , And I wasn't drifting as mutch, cought a little air over the top my left rear wheel cought Ross's right fork leg. May be Ross will elaborate a little on this. :p
Shannon that is a awsome pic of wide open catching some air by the dead wood. In fact all youre pics look great!!!!!!
Like always I had a great time riding with you all!! Wish a few more could have made it.

Hey Matt,

Good Pics! Some great photographer must have taken those ones of you when you were riding ;-)

The video of my drag was only slightly less pathetic than my attempt at jumping... I guess it gives me something to work for...

That picture of Jeff high siding looks like he's about ready to spill off his quad.

Good times my friend... Good times.

Very nice. Nice action shots like that are too few around here. Those kawi's are just badass. You should make posters out of some of those pics.

Hopefully next season we will get the new england boys out there to meet up with you all. Pickup a set of paddles and go.......:naughty: I didnt know you could just drive your trucks out there too....:)

Thanks for sharing.:beer

ok. i have a question. where in the heck is this place located? is it a little outside of baldwin?

i only ask this people i lived in michigan for about 16 years and never really heard of this place. we always went riding up by grayling and further up north.

by the way. love the pics., one of these days if i figure out where it is at, i can visit some of my relatives on the way( they live in battle creek and grand rapids)

thanks

sbjones73, Silverlake is about a 1/2 hour north of Muskegon on the Lake MI coast.

Great State Park right in town for camping and hotels as well if you don't want to camp.
