you never know what kind of wildlife you'll run into ... Wait for it ..Forgive my being so slow... . http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii238/kevin_te250/?action=view¤t=X1700012.mp4
Thanks Kevin. Here is the lead up video of a lazy fat guy trying to just force his way through the brush rather than ride around it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKGVOf4raTk Walt End of the day and a little tired and.....stupid. With all that brush it was like landing in a pile of pillows. Too bad my gopro got bent in the mount and faced right into my chest. Missed at least 2 cart wheels with the obligatory sky,ground,sky,ground and grunt footage.
Looks like your moving along pretty good Walt. Was that Boise this weekend? The trails look pretty cool. Chris
it didn't look like you went off the trail as much as got too close to a soft edge? gotta love those soft landings
I know I live and ride here in Idaho.. but Singletrack with consequences isn't my favorite thing, oh yeah and switchbacks....
You might not have enjoyed our saturday ride then. We packed chainsaws and went down Haga creek, crossed the river, then came back on browns, grand mountain and hungarian ridge, clearing a large amount of downed trees. If you go off the side on Haga, it'll probably take more than 1 other friend to get your bike back.... Or you could just drive down to Arrowrock and wait for it to float by.
Mark, It was great to meet you, Trisha, Dave and the rest of your group. The brush on Saturday in Boise was nothing like what we rode through at Meadow creek. I guess that is why I was just being lazy and brushing through it. It didn't really knock me off the trail, it just pushed me over enough to miss the trail. If you watch the vid you will see that brush on the right that got me was thicker and semi-dead and pushed back. I would love to come down and ride with you guys during the winter when Boise is the closest rideable area. I can probably talk a couple of the guys here to come down too. Kevin, If it doesn't have consequences or the threat of, it isn't fun. Had a great weekend, met many great people and had a blast. Walt
