Hello all, I'm Mike. Been scouting a couple of fairly local places out online and came across TMX. Looks like a load of fun, especially the trails (nice video). I'm nearing 40, and been riding street bikes for 25+ years. Last rode a dirtbike about 20 years ago. Street has been rough on me. Too many careless folks out there, cellphones (though not a problem 20 yrs ago) and student drivers. I've never had a streetbike that I didn't go to the hospital because of...
Got the bug again, and little lady said dirt only now. Got a 2007 yz250f, 3 months used, mint. Been buying all the protective gear (should look like Robocop) and hope to visit the park next week sometime. I remember when "Protective Gear" was long pants and tennis shoes !!
My skill as a street rider was better than most, and I have a natural ability to drive just about anything. However, dirtbike riding looks like it will require me to gain skills I've never had to do before. Gonna take it slow, and take hint/tips from what I see other riders doing and talking about. Don't have a need personally to get 50 feet through the air, but would eventually like to get both tires off the ground at the same time 
If there is anyone out there that feels they are in the same position/skill level and you would like someone to ride with, help pick the bike up off you, stop the bleeding, etc. I would like to meet up with you there at some point.
Have a great weekend.
Dr. Mike

DrMike, we have a ton of folks that I could hook you up with to get into the swing of things. We have a wonderful crowd of folks that come out to ride. Make sure to check in with Diana, the track manager.
Have a good one...

Thanks for the info and reply. I will make sure to see Diana when I come out. Just waiting on the last of the gear to arrive, and looking forward to getting it all dirty.
