Near the end of the day Boise NF... Hotter than Crap and riding like a Squid.. My buddy stops in the rocks ahead of me to pick a line and I stop and put my foot down...The rest is history... Took about 40 minutes to get the bike back on the trail and started.. (new plug and drain the floatbowl) Enjoy ! View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvpZijMt_Ps&feature=youtu.be
Kevin, that was a good instructional video. I should make a few of my own. That ridge side hill-ing can be tough. Thanks for the pointer! Dave
Welcome to my world! We always carry rope and sometimes a tie-down to tie off to a tree for extra added help if it's just the 2 of us. On another note, my heart yearns for Idaho...I miss it so much! Next year, for sure...
Nice! We should go riding sometime, perhaps wherever the fall gathering will be. I'm slower that molasses in a snow storm. Actually the last time we had people over to this place that happened to me, and I tumbled off the bike doing backwards summersaults down the hill for a while.
Your On Dean... that would be my pleasure... I'm also prone to getting lost..(learned that from Walt) So I'm slow and prone to getting lost (pretty much the complete package)
Used to go to tres hombres and the Mill also the Hungry Bear......miss that place.... Also lived in COS used to work for MCI worldcom
Off-topic but this was one southern, bluesy sound ...Almost like southern church music on a couple songs .. Hard to believe it was released ... -- Nice terrain on the video and you took that fall hard it sounded like ... ...Not to let you have an easy out, but your buddy sort of blocked you from stepping up & over that rock area you lost all your composure on and fell over... Next time just jump over the rock and land just to his left ... He'll get the point ... I can't hardly ride my bikes in 1st gear ...Just to jumpy ... Try second gear and use the clutch lever to control ground speed ... Maybe get stand up on the pegs also, in 2nd gear... PS -- That sounded more like a panic scream ... Your buddy probably though a bear was eating you ...
I agree that it is an awesome place to be, but that pristine section of single track you are riding in the video there in Idaho is almost non existent here anymore since the whole ATV phenomenon. If you remember trail 717 it is almost a super highway now. It is still a world class trail, but not like it was 15 years ago. Looks like you've got it pretty good there too.
