• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Wouldn't this be a great place to go for the days racing. Great idea and format. Look Ma! no dust and they even have green grass and no boulders. My English is good so let's give it a go. Aubert is just amazing, no pinball motion at all. so smooth, must be a student of Gary Baily's from back in the day. No 80 MPH straights or six triple jumps OMG. great stuff.
 
Pay attention to the front pivot turns.... that's some advanced corning technique.
I think its Aubert, hes hard on the front brakes and the rear is lifting and pivoting around the front as he leads with the front end as he releases the front brake to continue through the corner. Food for thought time to practice more this weekend.
 
Good eye, i've used that at different times without knowing. Husky handling really makes this an easy trick on tight courses like the one in the Video. Also you notice there is very little leg extension but more driving and steering on the front wheel with most of these boys. It is not something done easy on a Yamaha but with Husky's geometry no problem. McCanney being different, lot's of energy used. They are just never out of shape, Bailys schools used to say that to go fast you should go slow. Makes sense. I can see the old TE310 rolling to a top finish on these types of venues. Accept trophy. That series and the GBXC would be a lot of fun.

Hmm,.. an improvement on the old rear brake slide into a corner- makes sense-pulls the front down and tightens up the rake
 
its interesting, because a guy I know who is a former ISDE winning Trophy team rider and 125 WC, said that during his ISDE team time they worked their arses off perfecting a tight front brake/front weighting advanced turning techniques for special test grass tracks. This seems to be the evolution of that technique.Or translating from trial style riding, nose wheelie trials turns. practice practice and more practice. I love watching the how the pros do it, its always amazing.
