I use to ride dirt bikes a lot when I was younger and love watching off road racing. Here is a great movie on Netflix that is fun to watch if you have nothing better to do:

Yep. It would climb a telephone pole if you could stay on it.

....or the North Wall at Draper.

I was always partial to the chrome patch tanks on a Husky, I rode Kawasaki growing up, mainly out at NW 10th & Council before they put the houses in, what is now Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge but mostly at Draper or the MX track at Amber. We would go down to the Flying P Cycle Ranch outside Weatherford, Texas every year.

I got Dust to Glory on DVD when it cam out, great movie. I would love to give a Trophy Truck at go.

If I had the funds there would be no question of the will...I guess that I will have to stick to SCCA/NASA/BMWCCA level racing. I have thought about trying LeMons/Chump Car racing.
