Who here trail rides their EX?

on the backside of the dunes? i know the one you're talking about it's gnarly, look worse from the bottom though, i went up to the top of it and then came down and got a good feel for the hill, not as bad as it looks. The best hills out there are the ones in the dune area that go up steep and then at the top it's about a 10ft straight wall so you have to get a real good run before you hit the wall.....then after you clean the wall you literally drop right off onto the dirt road. It's tricky you can either catch huge air going over the top lip and land funky, or you can just pull the clutch in at the wall and coast over that thing, a very awesome and scary feeling when you cut the power right at the steepest part of the hill to avoid catching akward air over the lip.

I think its on what would be the south side....if you go up and then down you would be almost to the creek....or if you traveled back to the back gravel pit where the 2 culverts are, before you would get there turn off to the right an go down a little...few steep hills then the big one, it was really chewed up and rutted out. Back in the day I remember the steep walls on everything.....man they were fun to jump off, now last several yrs. everything is worn down in the pits.

Lol, we had a few hills like that around here. Only me a 2 of my friends ever made them. We all usually launched off the lip and it flung us over the top and we landed perfectly at the top. A few of them you could pop a wheelie half way up and then carry your front tires over the wall section and over the lip and then your back end just rode up the wall and over the lip and it was like going up a normal hill. It was sketchy after a while though when they started getting washed out and the wall was more than 6' long. Then you would risk bottoming your frame on the wall and just bouncing off of it and rolling back down. Then you HAD to jump it, or you wouldn't make it. That was the stuff that got the adrenaline pumping back in the day back when I was in high school. That and freestyle. I couldn't get enough of it, it was like a drug, I'd do damn near anything on my 400 to get that feeling.

Damn dude, I take it you're all right? Is quad OK? Yes climbing big or steep hills is scary, when I rode with Luke and Sam I did the mediocre stuff and watched them do the insane stuff. But it does get the adrenaline pumping and is fun to climb although I still like to blitz the trails where a lot of the serious climbers don't trail ride hardly at all. So you are close to Wellsville? Over 3 hours for me to get there, I wish it was closer so I could go more often to learn my way around.

Yeah man I'm good surprisingly. Helmet probably save my life. Fox comp 5 riding boots saved my ankles. Steering stems bent on the quad, bars are bent, and clutch levers bent but my wrap around handguards pretty much saved all my controls.
Yeah im about 1hr and 45 min from wellsville and wanna go but havnt went. Im only like 40min from hillsville

I trail ride my 400!

Lucky! All my trails are snowed in this time of year so I am parked for the winter, I still ride the county roads but they get boring as all hell. Those are some nicely groomed and fast trails too, wish we had more of those around here. The ones we got are so washed out, rocky and rutty from heavy use you just can't go blasting through them like you could 20 years ago. Frickin utility quads raise hell with stuff I tell you.

Not really trail riding, but this is my thread so I am posting it here anyway! First ride with my new GoPro! This is by far the coolest little electronic device I've ever owned.

Lol, I got plastered in mud by my friend in a Razr on the other side of the road of that ditch you got stuck in about a minute in. I about got stuck on that other side also, catches you off guard, it's deeper that it looks.

I just got a go pro hero 2.....love it, when I download they are so clear!!! I download to you tube by our computers iMovie but you tube comes out fuzzy....why? I see some videos that are clear and others like mine not so clear.....someone told me to use Vimeo and I did but no dice. Yours looks pretty clear so can i ask what the secret is?


Heres my KTM chasing my son on the 406ex....he came back with his wife to slow ride....and wasn't wearing a helmet, ya I gave him heck for it too the whole time we were there....next time I'll take the keys, but I think he got the message....we weren't going to fast because this was the first fall ride and the trails weren't too defined yet.....hey we got 5" of snow coming our way sat......can't wait to ride in that!!!
