Cool nice Win Josh! Tell Wayne to stay off the BICYCLE'S! "lol"

 

[Baxter]

Thanks for posting Josh. Does Wayne not know mountain biking can be dangerous. :lol: and congrats on the win.
Also would like more vids if possible.

 

[J Caster]

Most of the footage I still haven't seen but I do have some cool Go-Pro videos from my prerunning I will be posting on the website when I have some time to edit them.

 

[Baxter]

That'll do for me.

Also the spy-cam pictures of the Matlock Racing setup. lol.

First thanks for posting! Second mad props to Matlock riding that hard with a torn ACL...speedy recovery! Lastly love the race summary, I could feel the competitiveness, was hanging on to each word I read!!!

Great Job and even better Teamwork... sounds like you really came through Josh for the team...

 

[J Caster]

OK you guys asked for it. I have a small raw Go-Pro chest cam footage posted from my first day of prerunning up to the summit. I will post more prerunning footage as I get them edited.

Go to www.matlockracing-honda.com and click on the link just below the video.

What radios do you guys use? BD helmet harness?

 

[J Caster]

Wayne uses the Baja Designs stuff. I have the Racer-X stuff.

You guys still running the same motor setups?

 

[dagirl71]

nice footage looks like some huge rocks there I could hear them... how fast do you guys get in the flats & whoops? Your machine sounds like a beast!!!

 

[Red-N-BlackXX]

Damn thats brutal! I'm tired just from watching it. Thanks for posting that Josh. I can see how it would be easy to break a ball joint in that shit. The XX does good in that kinda stuff though. Average speed of 40mph is crazy! :tup:

 

[J Caster]

I just finished posting another prerun video. This is from the top of the summit into Borrego. It has some more high speed super rough stuff going into Borrego.

Sorry Josh, they look like nice videos, but I can't watch anymore of them. Makes me really want to race more. To the point where I am in my swivel chair pretending it is the quad and kicking it around. Everyone in the office is looking at me crazy haha. Congrats.

I got arm pump watching the second vid. I was surprised you only did a ball joint. I'd lasted about 1 mile before calapsing. Desert racing is only thing I wont try, I'll leave that to you guys.Loving the vids and more if available.

The last video is mostly the Borrego area. This is about a 15 mile section of super rough cross grain with a ton of rocks. It is not a lot of fun.

Also remember this was just prerunning, on race day the pace is picked up a little bit! I typically run the pace you see in the video thru my whole section while prerunning and try not to stop at all. During this 120 mile section I only stopped once.

I wish I could post the actual GoPro video without editing because it is HD and you can see everything super clear, but when I edit it alot is lost in the transfer. I do have more video and will try to post when I have more time. Due to the HD is takes lots of time to transfer and edit everything.

we appreciate the video's Josh! :thanks:

So basically the "Prerun" is first time on the "track" with the 700xx and after that its race day. Kinda of a practice lap.
Being a "Brit" the only desert racing I have seen is from "On Any Sunday" smooth with a few humps along the way.
