An acquaintance of mine has some land in E. OR. This was our first time out and its a tough place. 3 pipes and 1 water pump cover were killed within seconds of each other.. http://www.vimeo.com/11939785
WOW...bushwackin and streambustin at its finest...free riding is a totally different ballgame bike sounds really healthy.. nice !! COOL STUFF
We were all salivating as we drove in by spying the endless miles of rolling hills, but our dreams of blasting up them at 50MPH were crushed when we realized they were littered with lava rock and St. Bernard sized brush. My battery died right as we began taking this stream through a gorge that ended with a nice 1500' climb up a ridge littered with brush. Too much to avoid, so you start smashing into it front wheel lofted and hope the bike clears. I had some epic get-offs and my bikes are hammered! Open riding is a pain in the ass. Fun, but a pain!
