I had been trying to talk a new rider into hitting a double at Hurricane Hills Motocross in Mazeppa, Minnesota. In return, I said I’d go for this large uphill jump in the valley. Well, you know how this goes. After several laps around, my buddy finally went for it and made it. It was a highlight of his day. And mine too!
And of course, now was the time to pay the piper. Thankfully, after a few encouragement laps from Rod Bolstad, I finally went for it and (almost) cleared it. Tapped the rear tires on the very top of the landing, but any landing you can walk away from is a good one!
I miss those days of unorganized practice and all the speed that comes with a true motocross track. This video was from September of 2018, and that day seems like it only happened a year ago.
