Went rid’in yesterday (12 Mar 2013), had the best snow conditions this year :hurrayc: ... however, because our weather has turned off warm, I figured this will be the last track ride of the season. :aargh:

Now, as you’ll see in the video, there’s lots of snow on top at 8500 to 9500 ft. However, its 15 miles from the staging area to the trail were we ride, play & sometimes, practice digg’in ourselves out of bad situations. :coolgleamAc:

But it’s the lower elevations where we begin our rides that are melting so fast. :toetap05c:

The staging area where we unload the bikes is at 7200 ft and yesterday when my buddy and I returned to the truck it was 55 deg F. On the return trip to the truck, the last couple of miles or so of the groomed trail was slushy & wet & there were some spots that were almost bare of snow.

There are two other ways to get to the high country, but one trail is already muddy & the one we took yesterday will be bad in a day or two.

I must not have been the only one thinking this way because I’ve never seen so many sledders in the middle of the week enjoy’in the snow.

We saw lots of deer, a few moose & we came upon this skunk way up on top that was busy trying to get at something. He didn’t pay us no mind what so ever … however, I wasn’t get too close … I’ve been sprayed before & let me tell you … that smell will ruin the inside of nice truck !! … not to mention make you lose your lunch !! :vommit:

Oh yeah, did I mention we had a FREAK’IN BLAST !! :cheer:

Here’s a 7 minute video of the 6 hour, 50 mile ride we did. I’m trying out some new video editing software. This video was produced using Corel VideoStudio X6 and it seems to have some nice features. Hope you enjoy it.

      Old video of riding
      By mikeexplorer
      I took this video back in 2007. Recently the trail (old railroad grade) I was riding was converted into a walking trail (obviously no more ATV riding on it) 👎 I dug up this old video and put it together since it shows the entire section and what it used to look like. The quality of the video is lacking, but this was from 18 years ago. Image stabilization didn't exist back then so I wore the camera on my helmet. (mounted to the quad was useless with all the shaking) so there is some annoying frames of me looking around. I noted any historical items from the railroad in the video. There is a section where the railroad grade is wiped out due to erosion so I had to jump off it and ride an abandoned road for a section to get around it.

      (SOLVED) Electric issue but can anyone make sense of this? (with video)
      By DayBreakJim
      So my latest wheeler is a 04 Yamaha Bruin 350. It had all the wires cut from the stator and a few others and no wiring harnesses. The previous owner had them all twisted together and the bike neutral light would come on it would start (hard to start) but then would idle fine. It would die when you gave it gas so I soldered all the wires together and went on inspecting assuming it was a carb issue. Later after the carb was cleaned and adjusted I got this (see video). The bike would want to die anytime you gave it gas and there would be this horrible knocking sound but only when you gave it gas. I was worried it was the rod bearing and electrical still messed up somehow.
      Upon further inspection of the wires coming from the stator there was a W/R wired to R and a R wired to W/R. I switched them so they matched per the service manual (W/R to W/R and R to R) and the bike started right up, idled and revved out fine and the knocking noise disappeared. This was the problem the whole time. It was just really hard to tell bc the oem wires coming from the stator were so brown and dirty I could barely make out which was which.
      Where the hell did that knocking noise go? and what was causing it?? Just racking my brain trying to figure out what it was so I know for next time but I can't make sense of it... Really thought it was the rod bearing but it didn't make the noise at idle so I was questioning it...Luckily I kept searching!!

      First Video. 2022 CFMoto 800XC
      By Ulfthednar
      Just a quick test video while I'm learning to use my gopro (really, $250 discount I couldn't pass it up).
      This is from my side drive to the top of the property.
      The Dog loves the runs.
      No snowflakes were injured in the production of this video.

      Tri-Z finally 1/2 mile oval track
      By Sycoholic
      My son got his Tri-Z finished. Full resto mod. Polished a lot of parts and even used heat shrink clamps on the hoses. Lots of cool little attention to detail. First official ride not around my house was at Horsepower Park in Morganton, NC (the old Antioch Speedway). The track was a bit rutted from the recent rain/flood we've experienced but still was able to fly through turns 3-4. This thing is a blast!

      End Of My Tracking Season
      By Gunny
      It was a sad day back in March, but now, my Tracking season has ended ... sigh .... I hope to get some surgeries done soon (damn virus thing) so I can heal up & get back to tracking in the 2020-2021 Tracking season.
      ANYWAY, I put together a short video of my 2019-2020 Tracking season. I hope you enjoy it ... Stay Safe !!!
