Yea, bit like Ultra 4, etc, rougher, slower stuff. They did try to put a safari catagory in for us but some tried it and fell out with it sharpish.

The tracks you see them go down are the same as we were using apart from the bad stuff like the log climbs and boulders up the riverbed. Does show the speed difference though - we average 40-50mph on those tracks from start to finish, including the slow muddy stuff and starting and stopping, compared to even a Rangie trickling along.

And one that was a bit bigger a jump than it looked... plenty of time in the air for the cheeks to pucker for the landing there!

Much harder to fall off this way. Which is probably why we have a few guys racing who lost legs doing motocross...

Christ that tested how well you'd built it

I could spend hours watching people try to kill themselves on dirt bikes.. they are so fast, so raw and still weigh enough to hurt when they land on you

Mine is in the shed in bits.. I would struggle to AVG 20 on those roads. A bike could be quicker and dead probably? Haha

Most of those events we average 40-50mph from a standing start, peak is generally about 100mph at most, bar the very fastest places.

Fast enough for a lot more, we've had a few fatals over the years, it's not forgiving terrain if you hit the wrong thing.
