Our First Group Riding & Training - 21st Aug 2005




Posted by PicasaThese photos was our first ATV group riding. The first two shots was at our meeting point at Stalker98's house. We were riding to Piasan trail then end up at Pengkalan Simpur ATV track. The track (the last two shots) was a selves made ATV track made by Quadfather whom pick lots of dumping car tires and placed it as the track markers. He was very enthusiatic with it and finally used it as our training track.

The toughest ride (Nyamoknying logging trail dated 31st Jan 2006)

The cross country and endurance ATV riding are hyperactive versions of typical trail rides. It requires proper preparation, fitness and patience. Whereas riding in a group will require team work and spirits. Our first time at Nyamoknying was the toughest ride but no matter how tiring and fatigue we were... still we push it to the limits. The main thing when riding the ATV in group is to have fun.

Get stuck in the mud on a hot sunny day??....well that's the real deal for the Bruneian ATV trails riders.....uhooo!!!....
" hey...dude..mine got engine stall again..." Mayhem571
" well.... I am not surprise......." Megat9
" boys..... wanna see my skill.....you better see it...."Megat9.





megat9 and raptor-one

Guiding Megat9 on down hill techniques - "throttle..more throttle...." Raptor- One.


Megat9 got stuck...
Raptor-One with his move - " yo....guys...here comes your daddy...." Raptor-One
" look and listen up guys...when u are up hill...add more throttle...bend your body foward...bla..bla.." Raptor-One
" 100% plus/minus...self confidence...look out left & right...naah....piece of PIE!!!...boys.... here's your papa...." Raptor-One




Accidents can happen (Raptor-One's action)

" bend and lean forward...bit left..right..eh..no..up....ops...hold it...ops...yo..yo...man.." Raptor-One.
" wow...that was a superb skill man.....hehe..." Megat9. " are you ok bro..." Mayhem571.
" dude....that was just a technical mistake plus that slippery old rotten muddy log right there...otherwise..fantastic... i am telling ya... anyway i am still standing though...whose....your daddy..." Raptor-One.
" on my count...1..2...push...bro...." Raptor-One . " opps sorry...am i pushing it?? or just touching..." Megat9. " Sorry guys i dont think you need my hand..." Mayhem571.
These dynamic actions shot was not the first time. It happened so many times whether we knew it or unexpectedly. There were times that we cannot beat the earth's nature of god's creations no matter how good and confident we are. So the lessons learned are: 1. never compromise with safety, 2. Be prepared..., 3. Put on your safety kits and wear your proper gears to minimize injuries. By doing all that you might be able to stand and ride again. (Tips for the day....yakk!!! hehe..)
