Thats cool,

When we going riding? Where are you planning to ride? Big Scrub?

[nickcuban]

whenever you want. for now im jsut riding some local trails by the powerlines. whats big scrub? im not really that great though, well im ok, but not a big jumper... part of the reason i bought an xr400 instead of a cr250

but ill be damned if the 400 doesnt have alot of power! gotta love 4 strokes

Thats what I have a KTM 400 SX which is 4stroke. You're from DeLand and you don't know where Big Scrub is? Thats funny, Its on highway 19. If you're talking about the powerlines off of 42 you'd just take 42 to 19 and go north and Big Scrub will be on your left. I think the same powerline is at the Big Scrub ride area. The thing that sucks is both those places will be or already closed for OFF HIGHWAY traffic.

[nickcuban]

yeah it sucks that they keep closing places down. im probably gonna take it out to the powerlines off of 42 sometime soome. im not sure if you know which ones im talking about, but theres a little power station at the entrance. i just recently went there in my truck, and it looks like there are some trails.

Yeah I know where you're talking about. I've never rode my bike out there but I've been out there a few times in my 4Runner.

You should start riding on a track. You don't have to take all the jumps or push your self harder then your skill level and you'll find that its alot more fun then the trails. Well the trails in ONF that is, cause in my opinion they are very boring all flat. There is some fun trails back home in SC that really tight with some sharp turns and a few hills.

No matter where you ride you're going to have fun. I may not like riding ONF but I can still have fun out there. I'll let you know the next time I'm down your way, which is offten cause my wife has family that live around the Mt Dora area.

ive actualyl brought my old xr250 out to bithlo and pax track before. it was fun, but too many people with different skill levels at one time for me. it was a whole lot of fun though, just not that fun when some billy badass almost lands on you or puts you over a burm in practice. but yeah let me know if you come down this way, whether it be riding or driving, ill try to come

[usmcracing]

yeah I know what you about that. I'm not a pro rider and I get all pumped up when better riders are on the track and I try to keep up with them. The cool part is sometimes I can hold them off for a few laps, its really fun untill you screw up and crash. The track I go to isn't like Pax Trax, its a small track in St Aug. that first coast honda owns and $10 a day. Later

shes dirty, but rides really nice and strong. so far its all stock but i plan to do some exhaust stuff, and get some true offroad tires, instead of dual sport.
