first up this is my dad, im not sure on which bike hes riding ill have to ask him but i think it was his husky 430.

no joke

those pics that you just saw, yeah, an interstate runs threw that now and you can't even get halfway there in the park now cuz its closed off

i got lots of photo albums of my dad and his friends with their trucks, they would go threw the trails, flats, water holes, hills, everything, it was insane

to bad they took it all away, but it is still sweet and really fun now
