    Went for a brutal ride on the weekend just after a heap of rain. Conditions were treacherous but the Husky conquered all. Unfortunately not much footage of my Husky but there still is some classic Honda and Yamaha fails here to watch!

    ENJOY!! :lol:

    Ha nice video! Those ruts looked hard packed!

    Although...it really looks dry for a heap of rain, that looks like end of summer riding in the Pacific Northwest. :D:D:D

    fun with hill climbs. Two huskys make it right up and then my buddy with the KTM 250F tries over and over and never makes it. He sold the bike after 3 rides. He hates 4 strokes. :D

    That was a great vid!
    Sounds like me filming my friends minus the cool accent
    "20 seconds, 25, 30. Jesus Christ mate!
    Go. What are you waiting for geezer?" :thumbsup:

    And good choice of tunes!
    My good friend is real close to the guys in DRI. Has even filled in on vocals for Kurt Brect one night in Kansas City.

    Footage was taken in the Adelaide hills on a well ridden location. If your ever over here PM me and we will ride!

    I have been a huge fan of DRI for the last......jezus...15 or 20 years.....Bloody hell Im old!! Those guys would have to be a lot of fun to hang with. Big in Australia back in the Early 90's Sk8 scene. 4 of a kind is my Fav!!

    I know what you mean but South Oz is the Dryest state in the Dryest continent on earth. 5mm is a heap of rain. The ground is clay like artists use for sculptures so any moisture and we slip and slide! Love to see some action from where you live!

    I take it there's no room to get a run at the first hill? A little momentum would help a lot. :)

    Your totaly right there mate. A few bike lengths with a 2 foot hump in the middle. About a 1 foot path up the middle with wet roots jutting out. Heaps of fun and to slow to get really hurt. Just a few scratched plastics.

    And I've made my final opinion about e-start on 2 strokes. I WANT IT !
    Sliding backwards down a mtn trying to kick 'ol stumpy' isn't much fun :professor:

    I'll see you traction and raise you dust and baby heads! :D

    That looks like some great riding, I would love to try there...
    I hope to go to Colorado this September, it will add something to my portfolio!
