Once upon a time maybe, but sad to say Chet that just not look like fun anymore. How many times did you have to pick it up out of the snow?
3 times, one front tire slide on a root, next root I was ready, lofted the front and didn't get off the throttle quick enough, back tire slid, hooked up and we did a little dance. Right wrist got hit by the hand guard, seems I may have been trying a hand stand? All I know is the landing on my back was remarkably soft, I thought, wow, that was EASY!! When I got back to the staging area I took off my camal back and it felt awefull light--opened it up and I had burst the seal. First time that's happened
Last off is captured in the vid, as I was rounding the switchback the lack of snow caught my eye and I found my target
There was an amazing amount of traction as the ground wasn't frozen underneath. Can't wait to go there this summer, deep snow stopped us from reaching the lake. What a hoot
