That weekend is booked. Damn! Please keep us in the loop for this, one year I'm going to be free the same weekend.

I'm giving myself at least three years of practice, with at least one trip to the Trials and Training center train on the course. I'm also going to start practicing in map one on hills.

I've got a few pictures of the event, but nothing you can't see in all the YouTube videos being posted. I was pretty sure this was out of my league, but I had to find out what I needed to work on. Because I was pretty nervous, and certain that this would likely end in injury and not success...

My rear was almost flat, maybe 4 psi, around 14 psi in the front (heavy duty tube).

I didn't want to make this an excuse, but I used a Shinko Cheater on the rear (19") with Tubliss, but it was a really worn tire. I had intended to buy a new tire from Kenda, the events main sponsor, but I got there around 1PM Friday afternoon and they were sold out. The tire seem to be fine in...

No. I did horrible. I hope there is no video of my start. I did pretty decent through the rocks. Still not keeping one foot on the pegs at all times, but the bike handled great. There was one bright spot, about 2/3 through the first rock section, there is a boulder that is perfectly ramped...

So I did not finish the race, but to be honest I'm not surprised. The problem I had though was not what I thought I would have had. I managed the rock sections without too much difficulty. It wasn't pretty and it took a lot of my energy, so when I got into the single track I was tired. My...

Make a cart for the generator and just tow it with the bike. Charge it all day while it's parked. I thought to photoshop the Alta into this, but it's just as good without it.

No way to plug it in at work?

That's actually a pretty good idea. I am tall (6'-2"), but I'm about just barely flatfooted on even ground.

I'm more concerned at how difficult the course will be compared to the regular amateur race #1. They shortened it from 20 miles to 14 miles, but I'm hoping it's at least as difficult as the amateur race 1. But since this is kind of sponsored by Sur Ron, they may have wanted the eMoto course a...

Actually I have EXR suspension. I do a lot of rocky terrain, so I swapped compete suspensions with another Alta owner.

I'm taking all my lights off, I've got wrap around hand guards, sxs skid plate, adding rear disc guard. I'm going to have a new rear tire put on by the kenda tire vendor, I've got tubliss installed, I'll have them put in a new bladder. Otherwise it's a bone stock mxr.

I'll take plenty of pictures, but I don't have a go pro so no race footage. This is only one lap.... and I now have some proper protective equipment.

Well, I pulled the trigger. We'll see if any other Alta's show up. I really would hate to be the only Alta and then lose to a bunch of Storm Bee's because I'm not a top rider.

Yeah, I called them and got more info, yes those dates are off. They are allowing 40 riders in the eMoto class and they currently have 24.

So no one has mentioned this at all, but I think there has to be at least a couple of Alta's entering this event. But the sad thing is if I'm reading this article correctly the eMoto class will only have 20 riders in it... why limit the number of riders?? But I guess it doesn't matter anyway...

Thanks, I can compare material specs now.

Update: I am currently making number plates, however I'm still trying to find the right material so that they can withstand a beating.

Liquid is out of all chargers. I did find a rapid charger through an individual on ebay.
