We are pretty lucky here with the weather. Every now and then the track freezes solid like concrete and that can be a bit scary. Crashing when the ground is frozen and bare is bad news. It tears up the bike and rider so I don't ride when it's like that anymore. That's when a trail ride or something is a better choice in my opinion.lol This track is pretty safe because none of the jumps are very big just close together. It's intimidating for beginners as most of the jumps are doubles with a steep face on the landing. If you come up sort front end high you're just in for a rough landing, come up short with the front end low and you're in trouble!lol In the years when we rode 2 strokes the jump faces were much steeper. It seems like the 4 stroke bikes like a more sloped out ramp and carrying more speed. Maybe that's just me but I know I have cut the lips down on the jumps a lot since I switched to a 4 banger. There is a pretty good chance that my next bike will be a 2 stroke again so we'll see if the jumps get built up again or I'm just old and more afraid of heights. I love the 4 stroke and would buy another 250F in a heartbeat if money weren't an object. Now that my 2007 has 70+ hours on it I am thinking about the cost of rebuilding it and I don't like it.lol If it were an 8 year old 2 stroke $200 would have it freshened up but being a 4 stroke it will cost close to $1500....lame! It's pretty sad that you pay 9K for a new bike and it only lasts about 100 hours without needing a total overhaul. If I were a pro and really riding the bike to it's potential it would have been done long before that. Motocross used to be an affordable sport but it's getting more expensive all the time just like everything else. Having said that, whens the new bike entering the garage RW?
