WR's first dumping caught on camera

Last weekend, I invited my buddy from the lower desert, up to my favorite riding area in the high desert. It was a long drive for him from Desert Hot Springs on down to Boulevard, but it was a bit cooler and a change of scenery as well for Foster. We both had cameras on our helmets, so we got to shoot each other riding. I originally had a nice clip of him, on this very same trail....but being a rookie at uploading to Youtube, I managed to make a mistake and lost the clip forever.

But I still have the clip of the trail from his viewpoint. And I'll always have the 300's first spill immortalized on video, even though it wasn't very dramatic. Just lost my balance and washed the front tire a bit on a tight downhill turn. (It's steeper than it looks) So....it's kinda lengthy, but a great route, and so pretty in the springtime.

P.S. If the back end of my bike looks too bouncy in some areas, it's because I was playing around with the dampener settings on my shock, trying to dial in a perfect balance between the little stuff and the big stuff. I got that dialed in later, too.

So, sit back and take an armchair tour with Foster and me, as we ride the Ranch trail.

And here's another clip, this time it's my camera taking Foster's picture.

I guess it's a closer place than some people have, though still an 83 mile drive to get there. There are fishing holes on the way, and some stock ponds (that I'll never get to fish) on those ranches.

Didn't feel all that terribly graceful to me. Foster seemed to be enjoying it though!
