Well it looks like my luck from yesterday has continued over in to today. I had this report ready to submit and then somehow closed the connection and lost all I had written.................... oh well I'll try it again.
We came, we rode, we shouted (I slammed the truck door on my leg), we visited, we talked, we laughed, we screamed (I caught the tip of my right middle finger in a boot strap/metal snap), we cheered, we enjoyed the woods, we fell (wet boots on a metal trailer ramp) and we generaly had a blast................... OK change the we to I cause I don't think anyone else was stupid enough the close their own truck door on their leg, mash a finger putting on their boots and then taking a trip down the trailer ramp due to wet soles on their boots.
More about the benefit and not my attempt to injure myself. We raised over $5000 for Erik and his family. Here's to all that made it possible
I would have really liked to have seen more riders out but it wasn't a bad turn out for a holiday weekend so here's to all that made it out
I heard Erik made a surprise appearance but it must have been while I was tending to medical issues of our group of three or it was after our early departure.
As said, we made an early departure after one of my group decided to test his safety gear in actual field conditions. I glad to report the equipment functioned as expected but now I have to buy a new helmet and chest protector because his tested ones worked but didn't survive the test. But AC Cobra can now say he has ridden on a Quad (the EMS Quad)
and Pops (Woodsguy) has now ridden an '07 KX65. Still not sure what happened, Kyle can only remember part of it. At first it concerned him because he couldn't remember the crash but he can remember enough we pieced it together. In short he tried to plow a line in the dirt, head first.
Black eye just forming..........
It looks a little darker today.
I had planned to take pictures all day long but was too busy riding the trails with Kyle earlier to stop and take pictures so I took a few at the Pit Bike Race. We also had the kids racing a little, not really Pit Bikes but they were on smaller bikes so we called it Pit Bike racing also. These are in no special order because when I uploaded them to Photobucket the order got mixed up when I hit the edit button to roatate a couple of them from horizonal to vertical.

I wish SHNF had this for me to practice on. I'd like to try 3 palms some day but that's a dramatically different place with a dramatically different skill requirement. I've been planning on a lesson with the pro there but have yet to get to it. Not planning on being an MX rider, just applying some MX skills to be a better XC rider. 
He has now received I think three black eyes due to mishaps and his goggles have been the cause each time. I think he is already looking for his next helmet.
