Was this your line of choice down to the canyon? Or did you end up here and have no choice but to slide down the rocks?

It was planned, my buddy has been working on it for a couple weeks. He wanted to “burn it in” But it’s the type of canyon that a lot of people wouldn’t consider going down.
The fact that our 60+\ almost 70 year old friends went searching for it this morning gives me hope of many years to come. Lol

Got it. We've done similar things in the same area but it's nothing we planned on doing, and I surely wouldn't want to go back and do it again. I would rather ride the plentiful terrain in that area than carry bikes down the rocks all day.
We ride down them. I’m not into the carrying/ ghost riding either. There is only a few canyons that get this gnarly, but we do blaze our own trails a bunch !

Oh there were billet guards on at the beginning of my ride. Lol
I snapped off the bolts in the frame that hold them on. It was a boulder fest coming down the vertical descent.

I got these pics sent to me this morning by a friend that went searching for our trail we broke in yesterday. These guys are in their late 60’s and still as gnarly as it gets !


Remind me not to go up there with you guys Wink

You may recall, I kinda laid into Kevin THREE TIMES...that I'd told him I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE MY RACE BIKE "Into the Gnarl!"...yup, gave him a multiple ration of shit! And...it was fun...then I wnet back to singing "Turn the Page" (Metallica/Garage)...

Ya know, we fell for his usual denials...again!
So, we ask him if it's very ganrly..."No".
We tell him we don't want to have to carry our bikes over anything..."Not a problem. This trail isn't too hard, likethat, at all."
And, still, we end up on one of his "End of the World" trails.
We, both, should have known better.

Still, Kevin is such a bad ass trail maker, camera man and DoP.

You deserve some bonus points for your bike choice, I know it wasn’t easy on that bike. Cool

Is it the Kevin thats the property co-owner with Shaun? Never ridden with him but I have heard the stories! He's gnarly

TeamGreen - I feel like you post about owning/riding a lot of different bikes and also riding in Baja. Why did you take a MX bike up there?!? Thats just asking for a torture session haha

Because, I'm not smart enough to have my 350 put back together...yet. You know I'm an idiot MXer 1st & trail rider second, right?
