DUST OUT ! GAS IT Anyway! AWRCS Woods Racing rd. 6 Powerline Park St. Clairsville, OH 50+ A P2
Finally - a dry AWRCS race ! Dry is an understatement though. Just GAS IT - I'm sure the track is right in front of me ! Right ?
It was 95 degrees and super dry and dusty. Watching the video, somehow, it looks better than it did in person, at speed. There was many times a lap that you didn't really know what you were heading into. You really had to take the opportunity to get on the gas when you could see far enough in front of you. Three different times I realized I was off course (because of no dust immediately in front of me, lol) and had to turn around to find where someone had gone through and taken out ribbons in error. (Those wrong direction riding / short-cut taking could have been why it took over 45 minutes after the protest period to finalize results.) Still- I liked the course so much better than the GNCC I raced here earlier this year in the mud and slop. Because I got all the laps of the race leaders, my race time ended up being 2 hrs: 48 mins. It was grueling. Props to all those who able to hang in there for 4 laps on this day. And special congrats to John K. (#645) who took the lead from our row, in the 60+ Class!, went back and forth with me several times during the race, finishing just ahead of me at the end, and winning his class. I believe he let me by at 34:25 because he wasn't sure where the course went. I picked the wrong direction right after that ! And BOY - nothing scarier than going up a trail that you think / fear that others will be coming at you !
I did get some rear-view camera action at the start - until I knocked it out of view on the creek jump attempt (and my front camera for a bit as well). After that, I did miss the tricky hill climb, but got it the next two laps. Then, at about 11:40, when we got into a nice new section of single track I took a hard hit to the ribs from my handlebar trying to save a crash. Luckily, I just got the wind knocked out me and bruised up - and didn't break a rib. About 16:57 I thought I busted the tire off my rim. Luckily I didn't - but did find a huge dent in my rim after the race. I did get my camera angle fixed about 22:00.
I did say during the video that someone won an award for the most turns on a race course. If someone counts direction changes on this video of the first lap let me know. My guess is 326 on this 13 miles course(from start to 44:45). It could seem that there were more than normal because, of the dust, you could only gas and go for one little straight stretch at a time. I'll count myself and send out a give-away prize to whoever's count (submitted by 7/31/24) is closest to my count.
The 24 hour Challenge is next weekend. I'm running it solo this year. So, this was a good precursor in case it is a dry one again this year too. But I have some race prep to do this week for that one.

Well, due to a heavy downpour an hour before the race, we have yet another sloppy, mess of a race. I got a real good start and then found myself struggling on a hill with another rider in the way of getting unstuck. If I hadn't come around 3rd he first lap I may not have continued. So, other than a few seconds after my first crash, I had a lot of rear-view camera to show. And so there is a lot ...

Wow, what a tough course ! Definitely not my type of conditions. I mean, the layout was awesome - but when you take what would be a faster, flowing course and put 6 inches of super slippery mud on top and develop foot deep ruts, full of roots, everywhere - it changes it all. Before the nitty gritty of the race though, I'd like to take a moment and say something about 3 young men who lost their ...

I believe I met the most forgiving, chillest, and nicest racer ever that got taken out by someone. That racer was number 702. I was the one that took him out. He was letting me by and as I was passing I grabbed too much throttle on what was one of those polished slick spots, and my rear end stepped out bigtime. I believe my bars or arm swept the bar right out of his hands, while my rear end sna...

Great video it’s makes me want to dust off my boots and get the bike back out.
Thanks. Heck yeah - come on out.
Hard enduro GNCC edition! Sometimes it's easier to go all the way down the hill once you fall, but that can be scary at a place like Snowshoe! In addition to the suspension thing below you might check out some of Moto Academy's body position videos. Chest mounts can be deceiving but it seems like you're kind of riding behind the bars with your hands rather than diamond grip / head over number plate. When you ride that extra few inches ahead, when the bike goes sideways like this, you have the positioning to wrangle it back instead of going along for the ride. Plus have more angular momentum in the first place so less likely to get kicked sideways.
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. I have been doing better getting forward when braking and turning in, but will also think about that while standing and hitting whoops.
You are one tough SOB that is for sure! LOL We have a Harescramble in a place called south Alton up here in Nova Scotia and it’s can be a mine field of rocks and deep water and mud of it rains. Lots of swearing usually going on, LOl! I do love a mud race.
That guy with the Cape should be black flagged and told to get that stupid thing off! Cripes!
As exhausted as you were following your excursion off the bank, you made a ton of good line choices and gutted it out! Real good on ya! That was a great ride!
Thanks a lot. That's a big part of the battle - to stay in and charge on.
You deserve a trophy for getting out of that spot!
Oh man, I did something similar in a local hare scramble last month. First lap. Got a great start. We all hit the first steep hill and I charge up the first line to make some passes. Halfway up I hit a branch and went sideways. Had to turn quick and run back to the bottom to make another run. Collided with another rider at the base and went off into a deep ditch. It took everything I had to get the bike out and I realized my race was done. At 65 and just getting over some injuries it just made me feel old.
Yeah- good on you for still getting out there. I really hope I'm able to ride and do some races for another 10 years !
Qjhhh holwu hll
What a trooper. Enjoy your videos. Personally I think that snowshoe track was the roughest one so far this year. I felt your pain
Thanks. I agree - it was very technical. I like that part though. haha
looks like your rebound was too soft and kicked you up and sideways. trying going in your rebound a few clicks to settle it down in high speed sections
Thank you. I appreciate any guidance or suggestions. Setting up the suspension to work good as fast as my right hand wants to go is one of my struggles.
@@philipcaudill626 This is one of my strengths. While I don't run, GNCC, I run same class as you, have multiple championships. You can clearly tell your suspension threw you sideways 100%. It was not you! To combat this I suggest 2 things. 1) Go in a 3 clicks on front and rear rebound. Keep in mind that any time you stiffen rebound, it effects compression, so when going in a few rebound clicks you may have to go out 1-2 compression clicks to regain compliance. Also, on the rear, don't worry about low speed compression as much, it only effects compression on BIG hard landings like jumps. The high speed adjuster is where its at for offroad. To calm down high speed rear end kick back, go OUT 2 clicks on your high speed. Without knowing your weight, bike and springs, this is a good place to start. Try it this weekend and let me know how you make out. Also, I see you run a late model KTM 2 stroke, you want that rear sag around 108 (yes 108). Get some of the weight off the forks and onto the rear shock and let the shock start doing most of the work (as it should).
@@95jersey Wow. Thanks for the suggestions. I have nothing to lose by giving some things a try. I actually softened it a little for my last race and left it soft for this one because of the rocks and sharp edges I'd be seeing. My biggest problem is that I'm racing on weekends and don't have a good place, or time otherwise, to do some serious testing. Thanks again.
Good video man keep it up!
Thanks man. I appreciate it.
Good job getting out of there. I think I would have sat down and cried..
lol Thanks. I swore !
First 🎉🎉 (to like and comment 😂)
For some reason i always thought GNCC was one lap.. never really watched or looked into it. Only just recently thought about going to the one coming up in october (same race)
The morning (AM / 'Amateur') race is 2 hours - roughly. The Pro race is 3 hours. This is a great race to do. Nothing is real technical and the crowds and activities there are awesome.
I love the commentary. It makes the videos interesting I do the same thing in mine lol
Thanks. I'd like to add voice-over to the videos - but I've tried and it takes a long time. Good video of your race too. Probably come race with you guys again at Ditch Banger.
@@philipcaudill626 nice. Ya I don’t have time to do crazy edits.
I feel like everyone always counts out the vets.. nah not me. Ya’lls ability to and stubbornness to stay upright is rather impressive!🤣 I will never not love racing you guys, you all rock🤘.. i always try to learn a lil sum from vets. And always so damn nice to others Edit: i spoke too soon about falling.. but its okay lol
Thanks. Oh and I fall too much. haha
Amazing video. Love your patience and you ability to hop back up and keep on ripping!
Thanks. I struggled a bit here but did better on the sand this time than I have yet. I wish I had been able to get back up quicker though. I lost too much time on the ground and getting rolling again.
Big props to you! I'm just now getting back into enduro and want to do some races. Your making 50 look easy!
Thanks again. Maybe it looks easier than it is. haha. There are some very more experienced guys out there that make me feel slow. But I'm still learning - and having fun - so, I'll keep going and trying to improve.
That's my class! I didn't race though. Did you win?
No- didn't come close to winning this one. haha I had a really bad first lap that put me back to 10th. I rode better the next two laps but only made up one more position before the end. I did get more valuable experience in the sand though.
The guy you bumped on the Kawi is my friend. He did go down and was stuck momentarily on a log. I rode with him yesterday and he is all good with it. Rubbin's racin'. I enjoy your videos. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks for the message. He messaged me too. Def some rubbin out there as tight as this course was.
That was a tough ride!! Thanks for the video i was on the kawi 62. I dont think we hit each other i swerved and caugjt a log? Lol
Yeah it was tiring. Good - I swerved too and went off but luckliy didn't catch a log. Regardless, I would have let off or stayed on that far left line if I had seen ya sooner.
I live in Monterey and we were stoked to have all the GNCC family in town. Hopefully you enjoyed yourself
Hi. Yes, I did enjoy myself. I visited a couple of local breweries and the local people were very nice. I like the terrain and track too. I look forward to coming back next year.
@@philipcaudill626 next year look me up and if you can come a couple days early, I can take you on some similar trail
Good ride brother. I had some of my best gncc finishes at power line park . survival of the fittest at that race. Hope to ripp with ya again sometime soon. #44
Yes- it was survival this weekend too. yeah- lets ripp it up buddy ! this weekend is ECEA in NJ !
LOVE THE NEW INTRO! THAT'S MY DAD!!! LOLOL
Hahaha. I'll try and collect my thoughts better before I record next time.
Funny, thats my dad at 10:49 , thanks for posting
Thanks. He was number 31 ?
@@philipcaudill626 yep, then he crashed on the same clay downhill u did but he hit the tree and still messed up. but he finished A55
Where is the go pro mounted? Chest mount?
Hi. At the GNCC races, I chest mount it - only because they make a stink about it and I take their 'protest' claims more seriously (because I care about the championship points this year.) At other races I run a chin mount - which I think, and like, much better.
You definitely got those starts dialed. Falling twice that close together takes a lot of energy out of you. You look good and fast 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks. Yeah, I have the speed sometimes but making too many little mistakes. yes, falling and getting the bike up and rolling takes more energy than going hard for 20 minutes.
Awesome vid🤘
Thanks for watching and commenting. I really don't know what part is awesome though. ...maybe getting stuck under my bike 3 times ?? Hahaha
@@philipcaudill626 I think it’s just a good quality video, keep it up! I race the afternoon bike race so I always love watching videos after the race.👍
@@joshconner1078 Thank You!! Based on the track improving a little over our race - or maybe just getting used to it - you hopefully had a better track than our first lap. It didn't seam like there was any run-up to the big hill climb, and everyone was waving us around - so I figured there were more guys getting stuck and blocking the lines than were making it up clean.
For sure, but yea our track was pretty tacky for the most part but the hill was still tough had about 10 feet and a 90 degree turn for a run up hahah it only seemed a few seconds slower to go around it
What settings are you running in your gopro? I just started putting one on my son in youth but can't seem to find settings that don't take forever to upload, but look good as well? Thanks
Hi. For the basics, I'm running 4K, 60 frames, HyperView, max stability. It does take quite a long time to process and also upload. I usually merge the videos overnight and then its 3-5 hours upploading the 4k to youtube - depending on the video length.
Feels so good to trust your front end!
Yeah- I haven't for so long, so hopefully I can go as fast as I'd like to without worrying so much about tucking it or not staying on line. Once I get the rear adjusted now to keep up with the front I'll be able to get on the gas sooner with more confidence as well.
Love the fowl language
Sorry. I was doing pretty good for a while.
stumbled upon this...just FYI, I can tell from your video your suspension is deflecting everywhere which is why you are falling and tired.
Thanks a lot. It was actually a lot better this race. lol I've been lowering the fork air pressure, below the recommendations, more and more and that seems to help. For here, I probably should have taken a click or two out of the compression - huh ?
@@philipcaudill626 ah air forks, there lies your main problem. Get the 6500 spring conversion ASAP or you will be forever struggling. If you still want to run air, I'd recommend no higher than 130 PSI even on fast stuff. Fellow A Sup Senior rider here. Your just way to stiff here. hope it helps next race.
@@95jersey yeah- I know the air forks are an issue. I was running about 102psi here. Started at 120 a couple races ago.
@@95jersey ...and I was surprised that I had an inch of unused travel after the race.
@@philipcaudill626 wow 102 and it still was deflecting...damn.
Nice ride, that course looked awesome, I really appreciate your description, gives a great overall perspective of the race and how you finished. You also dispelled an assumption I have been under for a long time; even A riders take a bad line and dirt samples on occasion. We have our first race in Iowa this weekend, can’t wait, first race in the 50+ C class. At least this year I am not the oldest one in the class this year! Thanks for the video and making us old guys look so good, good luck at the next race!
Thanks a lot. I'm working on adding some commentating during the video editing also. I tried it on this one but the audio levels were bad so I had to scrap it. Oh, I take more than my share of dirt samples. haha Most of the time it's because I'm riding over my head and experience. I have gotten better at pacing myself a little better, and not going all out the first lap, so I'm not so exhausted half way through the race. Good luck in your race ! Maybe we'll run into each other if you go to one of the GNCC races out your way in TN or IN, which I plan to hit.
Looks like a great series for Western PA! All within 4 hours of my home in Virginia. Hmmm.
AWRCS is a great series. Real good people, nice tracks, usually less than a minute through registration, special family events and music at certain events, excellent banquet. I've raced all over the east coast and it's the best run series I've done.
@@philipcaudill626 I will just have to plan on racing one with you.
Awesome work, there’s something oddly satisfying that only we can understand about battling your way around on a day like that.
Thanks. Yeah- def a battle with the elements as well as other riders.
i like the intro 😀
Thanks bud. I'll keep doing them.
😂😂 fake crash
Do they ever like what we do😂
Mine is real good. ..except when she gets an emergency alert to her phone from an accident with GPS coordinates 12 hours away ! hahaha
That did not look fun at all.
The infamous “uuugghhh”. You either knocked the wind outta ya, or broke some ribs lol, not in between, and both make you feel like you’re about to die 😂 glad you were all good
@@philipcaudill626 that’s what is Dirty bikers do lol
Awesome job! I watched the crash video as well.. took a pretty hard hit. Watch 29:22 to the end to see how much smoother your corner exits are. Also, I think it’s great you recording your races! Go back through and look at how many straighter paths you could have taken or carried momentum better in certain sections. Could shave minutes off your time instead of seconds. Anyway, I’m subscribed! 💪👍 keep em coming
Hate that!!!! Glad your good!!!
Dam good ride.
Damn ! I did pretty much that same thing last season. Glad you’re okay 👍🏻
Watching my video, I saw that I almost got too sideways in the same spot my first lap too. Thanks. I'm on the mend now. Just finished the GNCC in GA yesterday. What a slop-fest that was.
Owch dude. I been there and know that feeling. "Are you ok" i dont know yet.🔥🔥 Glad you didnt get hurt worse and were able to get back up.
Yeah, just some really bruised ribs. I rode the following weekend - and shouldn't have. I've got The General this weekend. My only goal is to stay on two wheels and finish.
I can't find the updated schedule or website for the east cost harescramble series. Can you link it? thanks
Great riding dude. Super fun to watch and thanks for bring us along for the ride. Keep rippin.👍 Having a guy cart wheel in front of ya😮😮 just had the same thing happen to me this last weekend. Not sure there is anyway to be ready for that stuff to happen
Thanks Randy. yeah, the bike standing up, broadside in front of me was a surprise. I ducked and hit his clutch cover square with the top of my helmet. I think that's where I also got a huge bruise on my left leg. ahaha.
i like the video i plan to race this track/series in 2024.60+ class,where are you from?im from salamanca,
