Yes folks, THIS IS REAL! Mark your calendars!! Come out and hone your skills, mock your friends, and scare your kids, parents and significant others. (It just looks death defying. We won't tell them how easy it really is. Shhhh).

ChuckA secured the ball field parking lot in Falkville for a FULL BLOWN GYMKHANA and GP8 (and I hope I can get Kyle to set up that Deadly Butterfly).

June 10, starting at 8a.m. until 4p.m. just off I-65 at exit 322, 1076 Culver Rd, Falkville, AL

AND ITS FREE!!!

Keep in mind, we do not teach anyone how to ride a motorcycle. We will help you improve on skills you should already possess: clutch and brake control, slow speed maneuvers and u-turns to name a few.



There is a nice pavilion with picnic tables and bathrooms on the property. Fast food options and a Loves Truckstop nearby. I will have plenty of water available and the cones will be HOT!

What we've got here, is a failure to communicate.  Strother Martin as the Captain in Cool Hand Luke.
Endeavor to persevere! Chief Dan George as Lone Watie in The Outlaw Josey Wales.

I don't intend to show up until 8:00 and have the GP8 and Circles up by 8:15. Everything is ready to go, we just open boxes and set it out so the only labor is throwing cones with Buzz on the big lot.

Don't expect the big course up until around 9:00.

Fencejumper reminded me that I had not stated any rules or reguirements to ride gymkhana...

1. You MUST wear a helmet any time you are riding on the range.
2. You MUST sign a waiver before you can ride the course. It releases BamaRides, the coaches and owners of the parking lot from any liability for your safety or damages to your bike. I'm not going to police your insurance, but it is highly recommended that you have coverage. It is the law.
3. You MUST have a yellow sticker(means you signed a waiver) to ride the Circle of Trust(a 24ft Circle that you must successfully negotiate in both directions).
4. You must have a red sticker to ride the course. A red sticker means you completed the circle of trust.   

Don't let these rules scare you. There will be plenty of help to get you through the circle.

5.  There will be no shaming of those who are there trying to improve their skills. If a rider drops his bike all riders come to a stop until the bike is up and the rider is checked and cleared.

Simple.

AHRMA and Tennessee Flat trackers race in Athens, Alabama that day. :-\ :-\ :-\

Oh well...... :-[

jrobinson

You can do a couple hours Gymkhana, then go show them how flat tracking is done.

We are going to try to attach this to a "work" bike ride.  We will be leaving San Antonio from a conference and will try to swing north to attend before we head home.  Don't know if we will participate, but the bike has been dropped so that won't be an issue.  We would like to at least attend our first Gymkana.

Thanks

It's a beautiful day, let's go somewhere....

I'll bring a crew. Not sure if they will ride much but I'll try and prod them.
