To tell you the truth I was not that impressed with the trials tire on 3a. I was running 6psi and felt a knobby would have been just as good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(south of boarder) for a sat slugfest with 70 miles of rocks and (?). and about the trial tire thing you guys know I was teasing. as I have said before for technical stuff I still swear by the 140/80 size (for E2-E3 size bikes) FIM enduro rears at 9-11 psi they are like fat balloons. Taddy still uses them but his have extra slits on the knobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was half joking about mile of rocks. didn't think you wanted to go back again for a year or two. klxguy, it looks like the trials tire was working pretty well here. I heard you rode it out like a real cowboy, nice. see you on the trails soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertaccio 406 Posted March 16, 2011 I was half joking about mile of rocks. didn't think you wanted to go back again for a year or two. naah you know me I am masochist, push push push the envelope. I will for sure go back and ride up that thing and the other thing (rest area/not proud climb)as well, I am 2 for 2, just not fast and definitly not graceful at all!! After last Sat I think that I re-like corral canyon and its tough stuff, and i was happy just in the 4 corners upper and lower camp triangle zone, lots of big rocks to go up and down, plus still not dry. As for the mile o rocks etc, I am happy that I recieved absolutly no outside assistance (remember the waterfalls) for any of the sections, with the exception of God and some water with energy bars to finish that event. Funny how for the pros its just another day at the races..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KLGUY: lower part of 3a This was pretty ugly... KLXGUY:oops I guess I missed the head... up 3 JBW:3a rock step Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaugh 1 Posted March 17, 2011 nice pics and video. looks like klxdude might benefit from a shark fin on his rear disk in the late notice pic. Keep pushing the limits guys, you will be ready for erzburg soon Do it like Taddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Papa Smurf 0 Posted March 18, 2011 Those kind of trails is why it sucks to be 5'1" when off roading. I don't even attempt that kind of stuff. If I stop, I fall down. Last time I was on trails like that, I spent more time getting up than riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 559 Posted March 18, 2011 I don't even attempt that kind of stuff. If I stop, I fall down. Last time I was on trails like that, I spent more time getting up than riding. Same here. Only attempts are on a trials bike for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crash_Man 0 Posted September 28, 2011 Here are some pictures from a trail I found out at Ocotillo Wells. We were checking out an area over by the rock quarry and found it. Someone left some Red paint behind! We are having fun now! Upward look. Good times keep coming! I am over behind a bush in the shade passed out. Looking over the area. When we got to the end we thought is was over but the little road ended and we ended up on this plateu. We found a way down that was almost as much fun!

Guest The Mad Thumper Posted November 27, 2011 Not a single photo but video of my first attempt to ride up Trail #7 at Corral Canyon yesterday, definately gnarly and a couple of falls and many stops, thankfull for electric start. Remind me NEVER to buy a used dirt bike from you! Jeez!! I'm so glad for POV cameras. Now I don't have to ride in an area like that to experience it. How did you manage to not use the "MF" word and "GD MF," every other breath? Where you being on your best behavior because there was a Mic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
