Mclaren

What a lot of people don't know is Mclaren park in SF offers some good single track. Hopefully with my job (SFRP) will be able to team up with SF Urban riders to put up that Mtn. Bike skills park at Mclaren. That would be the awesome!



More single track by the old BMX track at Mclaren.

This is the quarry spot. It has several jumps for freestylin and a couple of berms and some cool drops.

Laguna Seca

We scored some free tickets to Laguna Seca Raceway for the Moto-GP event. I still marvel on how loud those freaking machines are. The thing that sucks is that Laguna Seca only has Moto-GP they don't cover Moto2 or the 125's. I think that's unfair that only Indianapolis gets to have the extra races. Laguna should have them too.



Here are the Tissot girls with my brother.



This was our vantage point. It was pretty good because you could see most of the track from there.



This was the moto 2 bike Hayden's brother rode in Indianapolis

Sumo - Dirt Skills School

In early July I attended a Supermoto School that focused on the dirt aspect of Sumo. I had a blast.


This was a fun little jump that you had to hit just right. If you didn't you would end up going over the other side and crashing into a chain link fence. Which I almost did. :?

The class consisted of beginning dirt drills with body positioning riding small ovals then we progressed to the larger TT oval when everybody was comfortable sliding. I've been to a regular sumo school but I really liked this one because it was all focused on dirt skills rather than asphalt. After taking this school I want a dirtbike even more. :lol: I would just have to get some supermoto rims and tires for the sumo tracks so I can ride both dirt and sumo. After the TT oval we ended the day riding a full on moto-x track on the sumo tires. Lots of fun. The only thing that sucked was the track temp was around 118 degrees so you would drink a ton of water and not have to go to the bathroom.


Here's a fun little berm on the moto-x track.
