Log Cabin Section

The Guru mentioned in one of the ITSA forums that we need to practice for the upcoming trials season. So Sunday, me and Captain headed for the Chapel Hill International Twinshock Training Yard (C.H.I.T.T.Y) for some work on our riding skills. When I showed up, Captain was carving out a mean ass section that neither one of us has a chance at cleaning. I swear there are 35 turns in a section the size of a kitchen. After abusing ourselves in that section we reclaimed a section of woods (now that deer hunting season is over) that features the two logs in the following pics/movies. It looks as if someone had started building a log cabin and thought "ah screw it" after placing two logs. But it provided a lot of fun and gave us a chance to practice our bad habits. Enjoy...



This video below is of the Captain's second attempt of getting over the logs.

I know what your thinking, "If that was his second attempt, I'd hate (or love) to see his first attempt." Amazingly his first attempt was more successful. Sorry about the quick ending to the video but my knee jerk reaction was to shut the camera off and run, so I didn't catch the carnage that soon followed. May have cost the Captain a nubbie...

Final Ride of 2007



Here's a few shots taken on new year's eve from the Chapel Hill practice facility. Click here for a few videos from the same day. I labeled a couple of the videos "Section 3". Below is sketch of that section.
