Lightning Motorcycles risks neck for an extra 10 MPH on the Flying Banana
Lightning Motorcycles risks neck for an extra 10 MPH on the Flying Banana
By Daniel Cooper
posted Aug 25th 2011 11:21AM


Weeks after breaking the electric motorcycle land speed record, Lightning Motorcycles decided it wasn't satisfied with 206.079 MPH. Shunning a well-deserved vacation, its Flying Banana MK. II bike hit a verified speed of 215.960 MPH. The company is taking orders for the $38,888 eco-widowmaker and assures you it'll be cheap to run -- the record breaking trip in the video below used a mere 18 cents of electricity.

Mclean Creek - Fisher Frolic - Something New
The Mclean Creek Fisher Frolic is in the stages of planning and Flagging! Course builder Mitch Brown is taking a newer approach of making the course a bit longer this year to prevent any trail damage or erosion that may happen from the traffic of this popular race. It is the last one of the season for all of Alberta!
"This year the course is going to test all of your skills, the choice to make it longer was mainly due to trail damage with 100+ riders over two hours, but also to show riders more of McLeans trails. And yes Ive read the rule book, and it says, Cross Country - Short Course, I intend to do just that. I have also added some newer "Special Test" sections for the Intermediates, Experts & Pros which will have a 2nd check at the end for them".
Mitch says to expect a 20-25KM loop with NO gas checks for the main CMA. It is a technical yet fun course with many breaks along the way, however he expects midpack novice riders to do 1-2 laps.
MAIN CMA COURSE DETAILS
Additionally this year Mitch is going to have Kilometer marker signs along the way so you can pace yourself & identify spots during the course for bench racing and as precautionary as there are no parade laps.
With the CMA license at a lower rate and riding season coming to a end as soon as the snow flys, Mitch hopes the attendance of Mclean will be as good as in 2010.

Endurocross Track Build Planned for Wildrose MX Park – Calgary

NOTICE – Endurocross Track Build Planned for Wildrose MX Park – Calgary
Recently, I have been in discussions with Wildrose MX about creating an Endurocross Track at their facility in the near future. Currently, there is sufficient space in the trials park area to accommodate the track and the association will be voting on the track creation during next board meeting to be held September 15, 2011. By all accounts the outlook is quite positive as there are very few hurdles to overcome and the association appears to be keen on the idea.

Graham Jarvis Riding Clinic at Xtinction
Darin Bullivant got some video from Graham Jarvis Riding Clinic at Xtinction, When I briefly spoke with Darin after the qualifier he mentioned the riding school, and said that during the qualifying, the skills Graham showed him not only improved his riding, but made it possible for him to qualify at Xtinction!
