The upcoming moto ride/quick report.

[Moabxjeeper]

I don't know how much MX riding is done here but me, my old man, and my uncle and cousins all went out to Jordan River yesterday. They had dumped a good 6 or 7 inches of dirt on the track but didn't groom it whatsoever, which resulted in very interesting riding conditions. The dirt was so loose and soft that it was impossible to get a run at the bigger jumps. A couple hours into it, the track was so rutted out that you were more worried about staying on two wheels and not getting cross-rutted than trying to clear anything.

Towards the end of the day I was putting in a few last laps and ended up taking a corner too quick and got caught in the loose stuff on the outside. I got on the throttle pretty good and made it out of there only to catch another rut wrong and laid my bike down right on my ankle. Pretty sure it twisted my knee a little as well.

Definitely better than not riding at all but I've certainly had better days. The clowns that "maintain" that track owe me some new bars..

I used to ride out there a bit, but always left frustrated at the poor track quality. It's also always dusty, or they flood it.

That's a fact. It even started raining pretty hard for a while when we were out there. Think that stopped the water truck guy?

Seriously, if you're having to use your windshield wipers, the track probably doesn't need any more water.

Jordan river has been my best argument for private vs government. For the past few years throttle 215 was just over the fence. Their track was beautiful, well groomed and really fun. While on the government side it was muddy, rocky and dusty with worn lips on all the jumps. Jordan river is THE most dangerous track in Utah due to poor grooming. Now the state took throttle 215 back and it will suck too. It's such a shame.

That may be doable. But in the morning. The smoke blows east in the afternoon.

It wouldnt be much riding honestly maybe a couple hours up and back. My hair had visible ash in it this morning from just walking from the house to the car. To get some good riding in I wouldnt head this way

That's just my luck. It was just this year that they closed the 215 track out there isn't it? I would have loved to ride it.
