    Had a blast this weekend....it was roughly 70F..pretty windy and kinda dusty too...


    this is a very unique area...with many trails...and not a tree in sight

    my nephew had trouble here last year....but he's over that now...:ride:

    also some small track vids...

    It was a great day...lots of opuntia (beaver tail cactus) in full bloom...I'm sure you guys are used to lots of cactus...up here its like "WOW look its a cactus !!"

    The colors are kinda vague with the cam....but great scenery...just the same

    my nephew rode really well..I was impressed.....but still its tough cause you cant go full tilt boogie and attack....as I do have to stop to check his progress..

    Last year he fouled his plug...and we had to walk out of there with his bike to the nearest road...it was 90F....I wasnt happy:foul:


    poor kid probably learned a few new words to add to his vocabulary...after listening to me

    I like that wide open terrain for a change. I know it's actually a bit more technical than the video shows, funny how it all looks flat with these on your helmet. What kind of camera are you using? It's good at not saturating the audio with wind noise.

    Yes..theres lots of erosion cracks...rocks and holes..that will take you out...you cant put a wheel wrong for sure...

    I am using the go hero 170 deg .....I think the sound is quite good with these cams:)

    Just saw this thread for the first time.

    Not only the cafe husky sticker, but the photobucket account name is thumpertalk2008 :D

    Is that like mixing metaphors?

    The first time....I was with a guy that thought he knew the area pretty good.....:doh:as I followed him on his KTM...we went flat out after we crossed the highway....then he slammed on the brakes.....and vanished from the horizon...right in front of me :shocked::shocked::shocked:

    he was ok....I guess he forgot where the boards were:excuseme:

    I did try to change the user name to CH a while ago....but its written in stone now...:excuseme:

    this sticker is a good design:thumbsup:.....uni directional......CH can be read even when inverted....:lol:

    you must have been anticipating getting PR even with with the rider belly up in the weeds.....:thinking:

    I have two stickies left..I'll make sure my husky buddies each get one

    thanks
