    Decided to ride by myself on sunday....though I sometimes question the safety of doing this...I notice also that the cell phone does not work anywhere near this place....if anything went wrong....I have been up this trail many times....yet I have never seen another rider on the path...hmmm

    Its too bad the cam minimizes how steep this is and how rocky it is...and it goes on and on....trying to keep the thing from stalling...yet you cant afford too much wheelspin on that loose rock....it just jumps out from under you......also was trying the FMF turbo core2 for the first time...me likey !!

    As I descended from the top...I noticed a Gal sitting next to her quad....she made no effort to ask for assistance so I rode right on by....I was shocked an hour and a half later..she was still there !! So this time I stopped and asked if all was ok...she said no problem........:excuseme:

    But I looked at her machine and it was looking pretty second hand.... one of the wheels was deranged and the bars were flattened.....and most of the plastic was split...:eek:

    she said she had a big roll...and was waiting for her friends... ummm OK :excuseme:

    wow thats the 125, man it sounds very clean and like a 250. cant you guys cut some curvy single track through those trees off to the sides? It looks perfect for some sick bird trails.

    Yeah, the scenery is beautiful and as usual, I'm jealous of those mud holes, but I keep wishing to see some more turns.:D

    I agree..the place is so undeveloped ...the area where the rocky trail is all new and much higher up(and drier)...I tried it out cause there was so much traffic from the long weekend in the lower areas.....all quads and jeeps wreckin the trails....and also much more standing water....


    the lower trails are better and tighter on the other parts of the mountain....


    also a new CDN enduro circuit had been layed out.....but I havent tried it yet....apparently its strictly bark busters up there....:thinking:

    its been torrential rain(sorry I know you guys are in need) here......but next time I'm checkin that out

    OH yes almost forgot...bike is awesome :thumbsup:

    Hey Troy sounds like the 125 is working good for you.

    I know what you mean about the video not capturing the steepness of the ride.

    We pray for rain and if we get any it's just enough to call it "Dust Control":D

    Have you ever thought of putting your camera on backwards? That way you can film everyone you pass...:lol:

    :cheers:
