Kris 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Here is a quick post with some pictures of X-man and I on Palomar. I am working on some helmet cam video that will be up later. I also attached the track file, (at the bottom of post). Here are links to the video from the rides. http://www.vholdr.com/node/58309 http://www.vholdr.com/node/58062 http://www.vholdr.com/video/palomar-divide Paldiv20091228.txt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

x-man 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Here is a quick post with some pictures of X-man and I on Palomar. I am working on some helmet cam video that will be up later. Awesome trail and good buddy! I did the first half of Pali Div before but on the way down was great too. I hope the video shows the fishtailing action; almost lost it a couple of times. Kris pointed me to Christi's track. I wish somebody runs a 'class' some day so I can learn to ride dirt by the book. Riding street tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 Posted December 29, 2009 I was trying to see if Christi's track showed in any of those distance shots. I tried to get it to show in a picture but my little camera just wasn`t up to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted December 29, 2009 Mimi, I think it is in this one. You can't make out the track but I recognize the topography Yeah if ya spuint just right you can make out part of the track. It's just to the left of center. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LucidMayhem 0 Posted December 29, 2009 That's one place I haven't been up yet. I really want to make a trip up there sometime.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iparky 0 Posted December 29, 2009 where did you access the trail, from the 76 side or the hwy 79 side, if off 79 did you go in at the RV park or up by sunshine summit. just wondering if the gates are open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
02rdking 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Great pics - great video. I really like that road. Judging by the way x-man rides, he hasn't yet come around one of those blind turns and encountered the front bumper of some yeh-hoos lifted Blazer on 35's. Looks like you guys were haulin-ass. Have fun & be careful! By the way, I dont believe the gate by Sunshine Summit will ever be open - maybe private property? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x-man 0 Posted December 30, 2009 We entered from 79. I don't remember an RV park. There was a maybe 200 yards of dirt and then pavement with debris all the way up to an abandoned "house". Regarding the riding, I was taking it very carefully in the blind turns. I was riding twisted just to see what was coming up. I normally look as far ahead as I can for incoming traffic. If I see none then I take a wide line and try to square it out. If I am not sure I rub against the mountain side Believe I know what is upcoming traffic at 70 mph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

x-man 0 Posted December 30, 2009 What kind of bike did that used to be ? @Jaynen: My beloved 01 Aprilia Falco SL1000 Now I ride a crappy 05 SV1000S. @bikeslut: No that was 'My life started again smile' @dirt dame:There are those who crashed and those who will. It comes with the ride. There just so much I can control or influence. If an cager does something stupid I can't do nothing but try to survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi 0 Posted December 30, 2009 where did you access the trail, from the 76 side or the hwy 79 side, if off 79 did you go in at the RV park or up by sunshine summit. just wondering if the gates are open. Rode up there today just to check on the gate for you. Yup, its open at the Rancho California RV Resort end. And yes you can see Duffyland from up there, including the track (never been to Duffyland but know where it is). If you ever want a tour of the area, just give me a yell. Let me check my schedule.... oh wide open ride now. Life of the under-employed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
