Handyman Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 (edited) Well after all the crap I have had to deal with since buying my banshee a year ago I am hitting the track for the first time tomorrow. I scoped out the track on my way to work and there are a couple big hits out there. I went and paid for a year membership for the track on the naval base I am located on. The guy who runs it said that there is one jump out there that he said I have to be in the top of 4th gear to make it. The track is about a mile long and was rebuilt by Racer X magazine so it should be pretty good. When my wife gets back from Scotland with the video camera i will hook up my helmet camera and take you all out for a ride. Let's just hope I don't kill myself let alone the banshee.

Animalman294 Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 Stock suspension, hope it ain't a high one, otherwise your ass is going to be hurtin' ......... Good luck man Quote
Handyman Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Posted June 6, 2006 Good luck, can you get pics of the track? I can get pics but don't have a camera.Camera is with the wife in Scotland Quote
Handyman Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Posted June 6, 2006 HOLY CRAP!!!! Talk about a beast.....I know I didn't tap into the full power of that thing. I never did go into fourth gear. I played on the short track getting used to the banshee and learn what it will do in the turns if I do certain things and learn how it reacts while jumping. I went to the big quad track and played on it for a few laps but until I get comfortable on the banshee I won't be hitting many big jumps at first. The stock suspension was actually kinda soft and flew in the air pretty nicely. There are 3 tracks on the Naval base I'm on. There is the small track, quad only track and the dirtbike only track. The smal track is fairly short and has small jumps which is where I learned how to ride a dirtbike for the first time so I will learn my basic stuff there. In 2 weeks I will haev picture and a video of the tracks. Quote
