wE took a trip to death valley and this is what almost happened.


:cheers:


I punctred my camel back blader and got poked in the cheek with bushes. Fun ride with good company. The trail was dry rutted and sandy, I had a hard time with traction. I recomend riding here in the winter when the ground is better packed and temps are a little cooler.

It was a good ride. We just need to do that trail a few times and remember what's coming up and then we can ride much faster. Here are the pics that I took.

Cool video and pics thanks for posting. What is this trail?

Don't worry about the falls - if you're not crashing every once in a while then you're not pushing yourself hard enough or gettting any better. But, you should definitely work on your tuck'n'roll. My wrists hurt from just watching this video!

Well... Can't believe I missed this one. I love that trail, there is always a story to tell after riding it. I sure do wish we could have met up! Just incase anyone doesn't know cell service is horrible out there, don't get caught waiting on a call or a text, you might just spend the day waiting and not riding..

I know you all seem jaded by the dry conditions, but as I said I sure do love the trails up there, when your ready just let me know and I'll show ya around.. I'll be back up there in a couple of weeks and many more times after that. I think you can link the trails better and come home with a good feeling. Espically after some rain, right..

That has got to be one of the most entertaining video I've seen here on DT in a long time. All on one/ same ride? Sweet!

Props for picking yourself up time after time. I know every bit of the trails there so it was interesting to see your hot spots. :) I want to head up there in two weeks. I've been itching. You guys are welcome to join.
