No it was a friends. We were sweepng the course after the A and B riders finished and my old donkey XR250 was elected to tow out a CRF450 that smoked it's clutch about 3 miles in the woods. I towed it using various techniques but in most of the gnarley rocky muddy uphills I had to run along side with the other guy doing the same with the dead bike while letting the XR do most of the pulling for both bikes. I lasted about a mile of that and my friend witht he KTM relieved me by jumping on my XR tied to the CRF and I scouted lines ahead of them and pointed them the easy way around swill holes.
I did get a 96 KDX200 with USD forks off a KX250 for $700. It gets the job done around here in tight technical stuff. Once the suspension goes to Factory Connection which is right in town it will be just about as effective as anything. It is kinda cool how when it gets tight and technical the rider is actually a bigger variable than on a motocross track. I use to go around a lot of B level riders on new 300 and 450 KTM's on my 86 XR anytime it got gnarley. I could even keep an A rider in sight if it was really bad like a trials bike section. Sand and whoops though were pretty bad on the old bike
Speaking of trials bikes I got one of those too. A 2001 Beta 270. I like riding stuff like you would see at the Erzburg.
This is my idea of fun:
