nice viddy,

side story that step down on the back side of the parking lot slab......friend was video-ing me years ago (maybe 01) on my KTM250EXC as I was going for the throttle blip jump off the edge---I stalled-ran out of gas and nose dived off splat and OTB in a heap, the landing is luckily kind of soft.....bad thing, he was so shaken as I was coming off he took the cam off me so the crash was never good on viddy!! I was bummed told him no matter what disaster is unfolding you gotta hold steady!! Good laughs. Nice fun viddy guys!!

Did the exact same thing on my 01 YZ 426 on that rock too. Only had that bike for 8-9 months so it was around same time. My wife and 3 boys were there too, watching Dad show off and they all freaked out as that yammie pounded me on the back

Nice vid too!

Thanks guys!

Yeah, that rock step is not the best place to stall lol.

Thought about attempting the climb back up but it requires a continuous wheelie to the 2nd step.

Ty, we came back to check the parking lot several times for you.

Hope to see you all on the next ride :)

Robert, you're talkin' about taking the big granite slab climb and there's a place to jump off. Show me this cake drop. I will attempt it.

I was at McC Sunday after being off the saddle for a while. My game was all off (stagnate mind play) and we came back to the truck after a brake issue. Got the bike back together, 1kstep says, let's just take it easy. I said, you mean climb that, different climb from ones mentioned already in thread. I claim up, stop midway before the 90 degree turn, because I chose a bad line putting me on a loose boulder. Start a stopped balance cannot keep her steady, start leaning to the left and jump off the bike and down a 2ft face. Bike is now at my waist on her side with the front wheel almost completely over the edge. 1kstep walks up to help, I'm sure saying something like "asshole." Of course I was laughing the entire time.

Started her up and blazed up the rest, came back down for 1kstep and I was off. I needed that fall/climb to pull me out of my mind funk. It was the kick I needed as I only stepped up things from there on getting back in the grove of things. Lulls in riding does no good for my riding state of mind, but a slap in the mind face helps me get focused. Why am I mentioning this, because the above vid peeps are my ride buddies and we give each other a healthy dose of challenging encouragement (direct and indirect) to do more with our toys.....and our mind.

Ah, look at 2:35, it looks like you mean the slab on the slab. So lift up on it and jump off it going down hill back on to the big slab. I can see how that would seem sketch from a top downward perspective.
