Thats from "Time To Ride". Awesome DVD that has alot of Team Green stuff as well as featured offroad riders like Mike Lafferty, Destry Abbot, Ty Davis, Randy Hawkins etc. Its 99% offroad, not that free style stuff. Check it out, you'll love it. Theres also Time To Ride 2.
A couple of 03 and 04 KXs, a few YZs, 3 PE 400s, a DR and a TS.

I know Edwards AFB has a dry lake bed too.  They used to land the shuttle out there when I was a kid. My Gma retired from Edwards.  She was a secretary for the astronauts and some test pilots. Kinda looked like that too but alot of the desert all looks the same to me. Sweet vid.  I'll watch it many times I'm sure.

RING DING DING, BWAAARRPP!
And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....

That kid shane esposito is who I bought my kx250 from to build my 250 500 hybrid. This bike was like brand new, I mean it looked like it was never ridden. I brought it home road it once around the block and tore it appart. No one could beleive what I was doing, everyone thought I lost my mind.

I saw pics of your 500sf (BDI) on the interweb somewhere before i joined k.x.r and loved it immediately.especially the paint.Reminds me of the candy apple hue effect and it just looks right. i'm tryin to get a simillar optically pleasing effect on mine but I'm doin it with purple.I do like the flat black though, and there are some nice lookin 5's with black frames and the odd black panel thrown in and imo they're pretty sweet too....... :wink:
