@monster271 Cool man. Mike Andrews is the name of it. The track is awesome

[monster271]

@mxer657 Yeah big crashes will put fear in you. I go to Queens University of Charlotte. I'm a freshman there this year. I just finished up my first semester. What's the name of the track in Charlotte? Mike Andrews MX? Or Cedar Cairn MX? Or something else?

@monster271 Yea it's definitely a blast. I'm just kind of nervous because I've gotten 3 concussions and the last accident I got a contusion and lost a lot of my short term memory. Shit sucks. Where do you go to school at? I'm at UNCW. If you can make the drive to Charlotte, there is an awesome track open on Saturdays. Owned by an ex-pro. I've practiced there with Bubba and Ricky. The track is incredible

@mxer657 I guess I just have the regular membership. The $20 one. I started riding there around 2002 or 2003 I think too. You should get back into it! It's dangerous for sure, but so much fun! I'm in college too, but I'm lucky to also have the opportunity to work about 20 hours per week. Pretty much my whole paycheck goes into my motorcycles. It's tough though for sure to balance it all.

@monster271 understandable. They are open earlier if you buy the premium full year membership. It might be 9am now, but it was 8. I started going there in like 2002 lol. But honestly, I stopped racing after my last accident. I'm dying to get back though. Kind of hard when in college without my Dad paying for everything lol

@mxer657 I'm not stopping in the turns. I'm avoiding plowing over my friend Cameron. We were just out on the tracks messing around, so I never really knew what lines he was going to take. Plus, he's faster than me, so I didn't want to get in front of him and hold him up. And, maybe you're thinking of a different track, but TNT has always been open 10am-6pm 7 days per week. You should post up some videos. Maybe it'll help me out. ;)

@monster271 I don't mean go slow. I mean stop stopping in the turn. Work on breaking before the turn and carrying more speed into it while accelerating out. It will allow you go to a lot faster.

And I used to practice at tnt all of the time. It was one of the few tracks open during the week 8am-dark

@MAYORofMOTOCROSS I don't know man. I did jump it once and came up short, then I had a bad crash on a track in Kannapolis, so those two things kinda scared me a little bit. I'll hit it soon though. Just gotta get up the courage to go for it again.

[MAYORofMOTOCROSS]

When are you gonna hit the big double???

[monster271]

@mxer657 That's how fast we have to go to clear those jumps...
