Dirt Bike Class and Corral Canyon

[ShocknAwe 0]

Today I attended the MSF Certified dirt bike class hosted by Ride Orange (Rob) and assisted by his son Tom and Carguy (John). This is a great class for beginners and intermediates can pick up some good instructions and drills too. My favorites were turning, riding in attack position, and seeing in front of you. I look forward to riding with you guys.

Then I met Spaugh and Brianna at Corral Canyon. We broke in our new 2 smokers on Spur Meadow Trail, some single track, and my nemesis (a bunch of boulders near 4 corners).

Looks like you guys had fun at Corral Canyon. I had plans to ride in the Palo Verde area but my brother cancelled at the last minute. It was to late for me to make it to the class in time but I will attend the next one.
