You have convinced me. I will destroy the rental! You realize that Q's favorite saying is, "just hang on - I got this...."

I think this is one place Q may be for mercy, then again us dual sporters are slightly sadistic and when the bike begs stop we just drop a gear and slam open that throttle. That's why squids hate us

Re: Crazy Bob’s Toasty Camp out (and Adventure)– Aug 24&25

Here is an old video that GotDurt filmed of me out there. I'm slow and the trails have changed some from then, but it will give you and idea of what some of the single track.

Here's the video, stupid cam was too low again! Maybe I'll just fix it when I get a new helmet, it's due.

Josh will need to correct me if I am wrong here, but our ride was like that for about 30 minutes. Then I think we took a left instead of a right as it seemed like that was no longer what we were driving on. We will need to go back, or I can search YouTube. I know we spent lots of time on class 4 4x4 off camber trails

Good video Solo. For some reason Wood Butcher's doesn't work for me.

If your on an iPhone you may need to download a player. I can sum it up for you though. It was pretty much the first 30 mins of riding that we did through brush, river stones and small steps before the first major obstacle when we both dropped the bikes.

Re: Crazy Bob’s Toasty Camp out (and Adventure)– Aug 24&25

Here is some of what we were running (obviously not us, we were going much much slower)

Josh, this should look familiar. We both dropped our bikes getting over that. Both resorted to walking them over. Then again we didn't have the machines these guys had, so we will leave the blame there

more north loop

after trying to figure out where we were (not realizing they gave us the ATV map!), we thought none of the moto trails were mapped, so we stuck to the ATV and 4X4 trails. I mean if a jeep or 4 wheeler can do it, a couple of crazy bikers can, right?

Here is one of the 4x4 trails we did


Then did this path up to about 5:00. The steps in there were in the ranges of 2-3 inches to some reaching a foot, per step.


Maybe we should have stuck to the south loop

Uh yeah it was the bikes that's why I had to lay'er down so many times . Yup that's it.

The 4x4 trails were mostly doable but some of the rock shelves were sized for jeeps and too tall to climb while going up hill (at least for me lol) but other than the rock shelves everything else on the jeep trails was pretty laid back or moderate.
