More helmet cam from last Saturday - same day as the fun on that hill. This is some NC single track. I think I got out first gear maybe once. The fast 2-stroke guys call this "The Four Stroke Trail" because it is so open and free flowing. [sm=icon_rofl.gif] At about 5 minutes in, you see why they are called "bark busters".

From the vidio I would'nt call it open and free flowing, tight and technical is more like it. Sure is a lot of bark missing on the trees.

 

Nice ride nobrakes!

Hey ol guy thats a Catalina 30 Avatar,hehe
I am going to be up in Seattle for the Hydo races Aug 2nd through the 4th. I will be on Sig's boat the Northwestern partying through the weekend, we should hook up for a drink?

Great video NB, I can see how that trail got it's name. Wouldn't want to try that on most 2-smokes, probably foul a plug ever five minutes...

 

Actually the preferred ride the tighter the woods get are two-smokes. Its called the 4 stroke trail because its more open and not as tight as some of the others......I was the guy on the KLX in the video...

Hey Josh, did you see the radiator grill hanging in the tree? I wonder if I should hang my busted up hand guard there too?

 

I didnt...lol, Ill have to check that out next time. What are you doing friday? Im off and dont have to be anywhere until 5 or 6 that night. If you are off or can get off and want to do some riding let me know....Im also glad the forum lets me post again.

In the video, you can see it just beyond the ditch at around the 8:16 mark, hanging in the tree to the left of the trail.

I'm probably going to be spending the 4th with the family. If something changes, I'll let you know.

BTW, next weekend, the 13th, some folks on ADVRider are heading to Uwharrie. You want to go? That's a Sunday. Tentatively, I'm going to try and make it. I want another shot at that "Daniel" climb.

 

that's what i'm talkin' about!!! i have that stuff all around up. those are my favorite trials.
not toofast and you have to bring your a-game to make any time. in that heat it'll kill ya though.

 

Those are my favorite, too. I could ride that stuff all day long. It sure is a work-out and will get your heart pumping, though. Be sure and bring your camel bak.

I've got a helluva bruise on my left leg that I did sometime that day, but I have no idea when I did it. [&:]
