Description:

Near the end of this one we start to slow down, noticably. Then the batteries in the camera died, so you guys are going to miss the last mile or so of more...

When I went through there a couple years ago, due to some time constraints I only managed a couple laps ... not nearly enough to get to know the road very well. Looks like you guys were really haulin' the mail on this pass! How many runs did you wind more...

Oh, and as fast as we looked like we were going, the other series of 5 vids was actually faster. This one had some good pep to it though.

Thanks! I did probably close to a dozen passes, 6 round trips or so. The first 2 passes I took it pretty easy, then I started riding it harder. On the 4th trip I passed Crio, CBRXX, and SierraInk like they were sitting still. Didn't even know it was more...

Thats very true...never really thought about all that.

They do... I just dont like to act stupid on regular roads with lots of gravel and sand... in states that gravel the roads it gets left over alot. Not to mention the awful pot holes!

Hah, you should be able to find some decent roads in the mountains out there, just gotta look in the right places. Or you could take a weekend trip over to Idaho, I KNOW northern Id will have some good stuff.

pretty intense! Man i'd love to have been there with you guys.. Also Steeltech really haywoods (doesnt lean lower body off) through those turns, pretty nuts i like it.

i think the music made it intense. sweet video I noticed that about steel on the last video too.

He says the seat on his bike won't let him. Something about it having too much grip. He's going to get a different seat for it and then he'll start sliding around. Several of the guys were riding like that, to each their own I guess.

Nice Part2. I recall that at one point my front end slide out a bit in a turn. I think it was "Gravity Cavity" and that is when I realized I better put a little less twist in the wrist and take it easy cause I was tired and making dumb moves.

Posted Oct 2, 08 by Trinith
The gravity cavity can do that to ya. The first time I hit it hard in the same direction as this one, I swear I caught a little air coming into it. It's one of those turns that if you prepare for it you can come straight in and almost ignore it, but more...

I think this video almost captured some of the intensity of that ride. That is a tough thing to do. I sure don't feel bad for having hung near the back of the pack. It was the end of the day just about. A long day.

Posted Oct 2, 08 by Trinith
Very long, painful day. Somehow when we entered the woods at the top of the dragon I just got a sudden burst of energy. Not really sure why, but I just had the desire to go go go.

Looks like Steel was using his toes as feelers! haha

Posted Oct 2, 08 by Trinith
Yea, I noticed that too. I found myself doing that at times, and after a nice long discussion with Alex figured out how unwise it is.

Posted Oct 1, 08 by Trinith
