[QUOTE="the Eel, post: 182000, member: 19952"] Thanks to KTMBoy for setting it up ... it was a blast. And this is a great bunch of guys to ride with ... RMJeff, Bundy, Thumbs, Old'n'Stealthy, Digger Dave, Scar Tissue and KTMBoy ... all the usual suspects ! Met up at MD's at around 7:30 and the crew was all ready and waiting. We reach the staging area and BRRRRRR - it's pretty cold under the pines. I'm glad I brought extra jets 'cause I neglected to re-jet beforehand .... popped in a 390 main and she starts up after I brilliantly flood her several times. You already heard about Thumbs and his star performance. We were all glad he remembered about that mischievous rag. We set off on a pretty brisk pace on some rocky fireroads for several miles and boy was it DUSTY ! I was terrified as I could barely see the rocks, not to mention I still can't turn worth a darn on flat hard pack. (Right Bundy ?) :) Shortly thereafter Bundy's flat makes its appearance and off we go while he races back to the truck to "fix-a-flat". We takes turns leading through Arrowhead's nice woodsy single track and make our way to Deep Creek. I thrash through the creek and manage to kick up enough splashing to drown out my bike. Sixty kicks and some drainage later and she finally starts. Everyone else gets through unscathed and its fun to watch everyone pick their way onto Ballbuster from creekside - a great rock garden that makes for some terrific action shots. Ballbuster proves to be pretty exciting as there are a few get offs and plenty of 4x4's to spice things up. We get into the Big Bear woods trails and boy are they fun. Much more uphill / downhill than the Arrowhead side of the creek - kinda tricky when you're bookin'. Thumbs shredded through this section - I'm remembering he also ripped this trail earlier in the year at the Big Bear ride. Nice. We took a break for awhile and unfortunately didn't venture as far as the Malcolm Smith trail. Too many 2-strokes and not enough gas - except for Old'n'Stealthy's XR ! On the way back we ran across a seized WR 426 and later at Deep Creek we got to see a guy lose his balance in the creek and completely submerge his WR400. COMPLETELY ! Between Bundy's flat and these two guys it was clearly a tough day for Yamaha. :p KTMBoy gives me some pointers on stream crossing and sure enough he's right ... I get across without drowning out. Later on Scar gets me back for an earlier .. ahem .. shall we say incident. We both wind up on the ground in a cloud of dust on a very sandy hill. As I'm getting off the ground I look downhill and see Dave stopped halfway up on his YZ 125. He knows he's gonna have a heck of a time getting up the hill now so he yells out "F&#k". My feelings exactly as I'm getting up off the ground. (Way to stick with it Dave ... your well timed expletive made the moment totally hilarious) :) We get split up on the way back and I wind up trying to catch KTMBoy, Thumbs and Bundy all the way back to camp. No can do. Back at camp - cold ones and bike tests - and talk about Johnny Campbell :o , Larry Roesseler, Shane Watts, Tim Staab, Paul Krause and the CRF 450. It really doesn't get much better ... except we missed MountainGoat. [/QUOTE]
