Okay, this isn't so much a water crossing as it it is a "get your bike dirty" crossing, but I like it anyway. From yesterdays dualsport ride. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sdbwljfx5o
Wow....I think video is the next best thing to being there....and you get to watch it over and over Thanks David...great vid
Stroud..East Coast Australia Winter time down here now, the temperature is perfect for riding the rainforests. Undoubtedly the best time of the year to ride.. The first pic shows WallyBoys new Husky 450 at the start of tricky section of a high country creek bed Yes, those rocks have been hand polished and then sprayed with Silicone....... Just up around the corner I found Justin was waiting for me to hit the singletrail and catch up with the group...10 minutes lated we were caught in a monumental downpour. Had we been any later, the water level would have risen and we wouldn't have made it through the creek bed.
Here's a shot from yesterday. That little creek will soon just be a rock dotted dust bowl. No, I'm not riding the TE. I want the new graphics to look like new just a little while longer. A little bird gets a drink.... Then I ride through.
We've been getting alot of rain here. Went for a little ride last night. You can here my buddy breathing real hard after he had to push his KTM the last 4 feet. We then spent some time cleaning out his airbox and filter. No problem for the husky though.
The following photos are in the same area of Australia as Seahorses previous photos. The first one is a watercrossing after a bit of rain and second is the same creek a couple days later. It shows how quickly the creeks in this region of Australia fill up after a bit of rain !!!
Here's a crossing out in the desert. A mere trickle when we went through, it's dry at this time of year, but could be a class 5 torrent after a cloudburst. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CBYjqkLra0
I'm always crossing in the other direction from the singletrack. That little trail is about my favorite out there, except for the crossing part.
