All 2st The obligatory video thread.

Thats some cool looking riding at some high altitudes it appears!

That's good stuff, Ray-Ray. Awesome OHV riding terrain is combined with residential living where the mode of transportation favors dirtbikes. Must be nice. BTW, is trail as steep
as it looks ? From experience I've come to find that my GoPro tends to make steep hills look flat on vid. What brand of camera is yours?

Thxs and this trail is an uphill and a little steep in places, but overall, its not too taxing on the bike or me ... For some reason, seems all cameras flatten out the terrain ...That's why I usually do a downhill version of most of my stuff ... Downhills show the steepness alot better to me it appears...

That's a contourRoam 1600 camera ... You can see if the sun is wrong, it really has an effect on the quality ... Plus that device is a couple yrs old and I'm not so sure the quality is as good as it was when new. Part of this might be youtube because the uploads never look nearly as good as the local copies on my laptop.

I gotta get the mount taped tighter also I think to stop some of the bouncing ... My mounting bracket for the camera is not glued to my helmet ... So I'm taping it onto my helmet. Personally, they look good enough to me but... And since I'm a movie-maker\dirt bike rider now, I'm gonna have to do these westward trails earlier in the day so that I do not get the bad light effect. I like riding here in the heat of the day because the locals are in the shade and not on the trails so much, but this gives me the wrong light from the sun many times though.

This is a longer video and the first 2:14 is a pretty good grade up just a loosely rocked road and maybe not too interesting unless actually riding it, but the left hand turn at 2:15 is up another mountain road that is much more steep and has the downhill ride also so the steepness of the grade is shown much better. This one is steep enough in places that if the bike is in the wrong gear, you'll know it immediately. The sunlight reverses also so you get a better lightling effect over parts of the trail... That section just after crossing the basket-ball court at the 9:12 mark to about 9:33 is cool with the turns and inside and outside lines possible on those gnarled ~rock faces... Usually the family living there is outside upstairs (9:21) looking down at me as I pass ...

Yep, its a nice low-key life here for me and it is like the entire countryside here is a OHV park unless someone has made an effort to block off an area ...Even then, it may or may not apply to foreigners or many of the locals ... When it's open, twist the throttle...When locals are on the trail, consider letting the throttle close... when passing thru these villages or what ever you wanna call them, have the self-discipline to slow down, and it most likely will continue to be nice here. Of course, buying food and gas and oil and beer and rum along the way goes a long ways out here also

One more thing ... That 610 you have will do this entire island chain well I'd guess... It'll probably do ~95% of what I ride here on my 250cc bikes.. But you know, ..slower

Went for a ride on the 165 in the hills again - made it up all of them no problem - even with 14 / 50 gearing
Used to be a lot more of a drama as a 125
Video is from a fellow riders perspective - he and another 450 struggled and its a bit crap but skip to 1 min 30 to see me on the 165 in action up one of the easier hills -
(bike still not running real clean though even with a 17.5 pilot )

I have been wondering how much work the rear suspension is doing and finally got the camera pointed in that direction.

Some east coast action with two redneck jokers. One rides a WR144 and the other a KTM 450EXC.

Here's some creek riding on my 08 WR250 ... I think this creek hooks back into some other locations I ride and would like to connect the dots but not possible today ... Still a good ride and you are see I'm not really a water-rider as shown towards the end where I got my boots full of water ..

Willlyons, that's my new Favorite Video! Ready for a second one...

Thanks for reminding me on how to ride a bike .... You are getting some really good sound from that engine and recording ...

Is that a deer stand in that tree at the 7:00 mark?

Thanks guys!! Heres another one from today, I Called out of work today and took my DRZ 400 up north not as fast pace because of the gnarly rock gardens, try to watch in 1080 better quality.

Riding with my 13 year old son 4-27-14 China Hat. Yes that is my rear brake squeaking. It's telling me to lay off it and let it cool before it boils haha.

how can i post a video from youtube?

Just copy the link and paste it in your post

some fun, flowy stuff at our local spot last Sunday. WR165

The WR300 on some cool trails. First ride with my new FMF Q Stealth. Doesn't sound much quieter, maybe slightly. My goal for the day was
to play around with the clickers and get the suspension a little more dialed in. I did do a little adjusting but it takes a lot of patience and
stopping and riding and stopping etc.. have to work on it some more next time.
