LOL... the video doesn't do it full justice.

So for those of you that don't know all the details, let me elaborate.

1) This was a cone skills setup that is a little more difficult than the video portrays. Louden rode it and can testify.

2) Riding a ninja 250 with a large 6'3'' man on the back that is at least 230lbs if not more.

3) Randy is a lovely man. Unfortunately he has a prosthetic left leg from above the knee. So he couldn't get it up on the foot pegs out of my way which is why he was taking cones out with it.

The first attempt video he had his feet on my pegs and my feet on his feet.

Second attempt we got his right foot off my peg so I could use my rear brake for more control. but His body was flopping about

Third attempt, we got his right foot on his own peg, left foot dangling so I can have my left peg, and we changed how he held onto me/bike for less flopping. I almost had a clean run other than his foot claiming one cone and me over correcting the final left turn to exit.

It was a damned good time all in all. and funny for those watching.

Yeah you definitely had to be there to really enjoy the theatrics!!! I saw him get on the bike on the other side where the main show was and knew what was coming haha.

Great times!!!!
