Doc Wong Dirt Riding Clinic
Clear Creek
3/18/01


Here's some photos from the Doc Wong Dirt Riding Clinic held at Clear Creek on 3/18/01. Doctor Harry Wong and Phil Douglas of Aftershocks Suspension made it fun with their helpful hints, support, and all-around good humor.

Denise Howard described it best here in her ride report posted to ba.motorcycles.

These pictures show just a few of the things we did...as usual it's hard to ride AND take pictures so I didn't catch much of it on camera. It was waaay too much fun to ride...no time to take pictures! The proof is in the smiles at the end of the day.

Here's another page that has some pictures from the death ride, er, "technical route" that Doc and Phil took some of us on afterwards.

If you see a picture you like, let me know and I'll send you the high resolution files, they look pretty good.

The Balance Drill Lock your bars to one side, hold on the front brake, and see how long you can balance on the pegs. Doc Wong on megaphone.

The Hillclimb Easy Bailout Drill Start up this little hill. Before you grind to a halt, turn and park yourself perpendicular to the hillside. Catch your breath and then ride back down. This beats picking up your upside-down bike off the hill. Here's a great picture that shows all the action at once. I'm the guy wheelying at the top. It was taken by Greg (see below).

The Extra Credit Drill While we were at "The Playground", Doc took off on little side runs. Those who took off after him got extra lessons in climbing and descending steep and rocky trails. You can see part of "The Playground" in the background (center) of the picture. Doc stands by, ready to help out.

The Post Clinic Smile Drill Lots of smiles at lunch time.

The Mud Scraping Drill There was a steep muddy rutted hill on the way up to The Playground. No problem with knobbies, but a little more challenging with street tread. ALL the folks made it up and back...some just brought back a little more mud.

The Big Bike Wrestling Drill Yep, Greg did it on his R1150GS! Check out his pictures and story on his ride report site.

The Hanging with Dr Shok Drill Phil Douglas and crew. These guys were sooo much fun to ride with...

The Tall Stories Drill Can you tell a story taller than the Aftershocks Suspension support truck?

The Pizza Drill The last of the group met for pizza in Hollister.
