I've gotten in the habit of throwing a couple ounces of Sta-bil in the barrel of race gas when I first open it; lasts for quite a while that way.

The Orosco Ridge trailhead has a dirt lot, plus another somewhat flat area at the top of the climb. Nothing to write home about, but a decent enough place to practice or test & tune and it's even OHV legal.

I already had plans, plus I'm not loving the current heat wave. Definitely interested in future Twofer Tuesdays tho!

Great training, very informative and you could tell it was coming from a place of experience. It was nice to see some of you again and meet others for the first time!!

My wife (and fellow rider) Liz will be joining us as well.

I do, and Liz still has hers as well!

I'm in!

If you're willing to come up to Ramona there's a decent amount of relatively easy to ride fire roads. I'd be happy to show you around if you'd like.

I went to buy a set of Crossfires and found them totally incompatible with my feet. This is not in any way to say they are bad boots, just that much like helmets the right boots are the ones that fit you. But as someone who had a lisfranc injury (shattered all five metatarsals) in a pair of steel-toe Doc Martens in my early twenties, I'll absolutely agree that boots are not the place to compromise on safety.

Knee pads are pretty necessary, elbows, back protection or armored jacket, and padded shorts aren't a bad idea. If you're dual sporting textiles with some abrasion resistance are best, but if you're riding dirt it's hard to argue with motocross gear.

Merry Christmas!

For that budget your best bet is going to be to to find an older Litchi compatible DJI drone, imho. With that said, I never found the follow me performance very acceptable until I got a Skydio 2+ which starts at $1,099.

Seconding the Mobius X8s!

Just sent ya details and contact info for all parties involved.

I had a blast, thanks to all of those who showed up and to all of those who made the questionable decision to follow me around Ocotillo Wells! Definitely looking forward to the next one, here's the few pics I managed to take while out riding.
