Eastern Sierra's. Mammoth/June area. It's actually a lot like Bend, except everything is 7k'+. Need a WR600 up here!
he he he Yeah rode my 125 in 6000-8500 zone in northern Washington (almost to canada) and it felt like a 80. Although rode others bikes that day and they all felt like 80's :>)
Fun trail;love to ride that one day. You folks really do have some great variety in the States. Love watching these vids.
Hey where exactly? I'm heading up to Mammoth Labor day week end and I haven't found much single track. I've hit some short single track off Dead Man's Summit, and on the West side of 395 between June and Mammoth. Thanks Ron!
Sure looks like nice riding. I guess Bend, Fort rock used to be like that til the Bulldozer Quad Patrol opened everything up for 1000 pound+ quad traffic;
Those trails are great, but the forest service would not be too pleased about us riding them. They want us to stick to the Jeep roads and get run over by the quads and rhino's.... and there's plenty of them! Wait til you see the footage I got in the White mtns. Absolutely incredible! Real big mountain riding in no mans land. My son has taken big strides this trip too and is finally catching the moto bug. As much fun as its been I cannot wait to get home and back to reality. I am one homesick boy right now!
Last ride of the trip. I added 17hrs to the motor, rode hundreds of miles of trail, killed a brand new Bstone 403 rear, spent a small fortune on gas and almost went the whole trip without crashing! I was pushing hard to catch the pumpkin patch kids and found the limit the of my Motoz front tire in the dry pine needles. Zero issues with the wr300. It took me to some awesome and desolate places and back again!
Man, I need to hunt down that single track. Last few times I've been to Mammoth it seems I'm always hitting the same old fire roads. Thanks for sharing.
Just outside town (Mammoth) and beyond Shady Rest I was riding some sandy trail when all of a sudden the road got up and moved ...a whole herd of sheep were on the road and the side of the road....thought I was hallucinating. Up here for another week so hope to do some new trails that have some scenic playoffs like ghost towns or volcanic cones or lakes. I've got my buggy, bicycles, golf clubs and wife up here and so far not enough moto but lots of music concerts...And partying.
Haha! I've got some helmet cam footage from last year running into a huge herd of sheep. And the farmer who was none too pleased with us! It was actually on this same trail from the video above... runs from the geothermal plant about 10-12 miles north by Lookout mtn. There's also good stuff over by the craters and mountain, but hard to make loops out of it. Olivier (spelling!?) trail used to the best one out there, but its part of the wilderness area now and I'm not willing to take the chance riding it. Forget Mammoth though. The real action is down the hill in the Whites and over the border into NV. No mans land. And nobody there to complain about dirt bikesand as an added bonus the riding is absolutely epic. See for yourselves.
That does look good over in the Whites. Do you guys really know where you're going or is the GPS set to tracking....bread crumbs, as it were.? I usually ride solo.
