Congratz Kyle!!!

 

Thanks guyz. Yeah im not pro or anything lol, they did this because there was a demand for Average Joe article, opposed to Pro after Pro article.

plus that course was way too demanding. I can do some pretty gnarly stuff...but that course it one gnarly thing after another! every straight where you would get to rest is interrupted by a 3 foot log!

And the pros have rekluse clutches, which means they are impossible to stall...while i have to pull the clutch in all the time over each obstacle...you can only pull the clutch in so many times before your arm starts to cramp...if only the clutch were on the right side gross...

oh yeah, and the pros are crazy and jump many obstacles so they dont have to ride over them like real men would. This will never change because catching air brings in the crowds.

Here are some pics i got at the race...I wrote that article myself (its all in quotes) he held up his recording device and i gave him like 4 sentences lol...then i emailed him some filler


Uh yeah, average riders just ride over the top of the logs lol.

Running down a dream lol

 

kyle, why dont you get a clutch like the pros do then?

just curious, i dont know **** about your sport. Is there a reason why you prefer a standard clutch?

 

Ive got a rekluse clutch on my bike that I got used from a guy who set the bike up for his daughter. I love that thing in the trails, getting too spoiled though.

Yeah I ride a girls old bike and Im ok with that. XD I wish we had stuff like that in Hawaii. =/

 

Well this was my first endurocross, and i didnt know what to expect. Rekluse setups are a bit cheaper now...maybe $600? and i also need a steering stabilizer which is $500.

cool. I see a ton of dirtbiker's youtube's from Hawaii! but i would guess its all on private land and very hush hush? or do you have riding parks there?

This guy has great videos of Hawaii...they're always riding in a creek haha.

Yeah lots of private land til the cops chase you out. I think thats at Kahuku the ONLY legal place to ride on oahu but Im not sure, never rode in any creeks, lots of big puddles like that though. hah Great Vid!

 

Sweet man!,now I don,t feel goofy for pulling my track bike off the trailer and into my hotel room the night before track days and I'm lovin the old school MSR gear

 

haha thanks...i got it at a thrift store in SF...unfortunately i dont have any of my old riding jerseys...but i've been riding in neon since 1991!

Yeah at the Motel 6 i was like
"can i request a ground floor? Im staying with an elderly person"
"Oh of course Mr. Ignaitis" lol

Man wheeling in a 220lb bike was challenging...how do you wheel in a 350+lb bike!?! dang!

 

this is pretty dangerous. but it looks like you love this stuff. good for you. have fun.

 

Nice Kyle !!

 

wow, I guess that magazine has really gone down hill!



Just kidding? Congrats Kyle!
