08 TXC450 first ride report ! with videos

Allright guys, I had the chance to take the bike out on the trail for the first time, WOW!!! this thing is what everybody says it is and then some .
I went to this park called Carolina adventure world, very nice place, with good trail system. Here's what I liked about the bike:
*It feels light, flickable
*very stable, it goes where you point, easy to change lines going from rut to rut, ergo worked very well for my stature.
*TRACTION!! lots of it, they had 4inches of rain at the park prior to me going there, it was very slippery to say the least, but I was able to go fast, corner fast without washing out or sliding.
*Smooth, this bike is very powerfull, but it's very smooth making easy to handle in thight trails,
*suspension is just perfect to me, I like the front forks being on the harder side, since this bike will be my racer, I'll trade a little plushness for stability. Here's the cons:

#stock graphics, They suck!!! the ones that didn't peel off are cracked!
#jetting was a little weird, I was flaming out every now and then going out of corners in 2nd gear, And when I cracked the trhottle open fast it stalled.

I think that the cons are little things that are easy to fix, nothing to worry about,
Here's my list of mods:

Motosportz steering damper:
WOW, besides being a work of art, it works like magic, I think that the stability that I felt had a lot to do with this, I didn't ride the bike without it so I guess I'll never be able to compare!!

I did most of the mods on Scotts summers list.

very cool!

nice vids- I like the riding areas too.

Great vids. Not sure how I missed them before.

Very nice...it looks like you were just playing/toying with your friends! What helmet camera are you using? It looked like the Helmet Hero and judging by the video...the original version...not wide angle.
