My first dirtbike!!

1 lawnmower, 1 snowblower.

we're up to 62" of snow this year. None of it has melted.  

Make snow tunnels to ride the bike in - the neighbors won't even be able to hear it.

Snow tunnels filled with two stroke smoke would be awesome.

Several companies sell flywheel weights for two strokes.  It can really help calm one down, if you find you need that.

Always use Klotz.  Don't know if it works any better, but it sure smells the best.

Awesome, congrats!

I just got my first dirtbike a few months ago. A nice lil kx100 2-stroke. Added a 12oz flywheel weight from Steahly.com and a 54 tooth rear sprocket (51 is stock). Turned it into a nice trail machine. We got about 3-6" of snow a few weeks ago and I had to try it out. Riding in the snow is AWESOME!! No studded tires here, just stand up and get your weight back. I'd imagine 62" might be a bit more challenging, but just think at how good you'll be at dirtbiking by the time everything melts after learning to ride in the snow.

congrats,
make sure you gear up appropriately.
Especially a set of these

They are on sale right now at MXsouth and are worth every penny

Congrats.  I can't wait to see some pictures of you and it out playing in the dirt.

well, I've gone out about 9 or 10 times this year to an OHV park about 70 miles from home. Its like 500 acres, with 4 tracks and lots of trails. I'm not crazy about trail riding becuase of all the blind corners and its not guaranteed to be one way traffic.

Me and a friend went out sunday. The video doesn't do it justice, but it was muddy. I've got little confidence when it is muddy. I was learning that ironically it is easier to ride through the mud with a little speed, with only a little weight on the front. When I went really slow, the front would be sliding through and snowplowing mud. Yikes.

Looks like fun.  I really need to get one of those.
I had to chuckle about half way through when you pulled over for a couple guys behind you.  It looked like you peaked that hill, looked around and they were nowhere to be found.  At least I think that's what happened.
If it's not guaranteed to be one way traffic I think I'd be more afraid of cresting a hill and running into someone.

BTW I think you have to allow your uploaded videos to be embedded.  There is a setting somewhere in youtube under the video info sharing options.  Or something.

yes, I was expecting them to be right on my tail and I was going to let them pass, but they just kept doing this really short loop where they would just go back up that 3-step hill. I don't get it, but it didn't bother me.

Thanks for the embed info, I'll check.

Cool video.  That lens has some weird distortion.  Very fisheye.

Cool video.  Man do I miss the sound of a 2 stroke.  It takes me back to my childhood days.
