Yep. There would have been some waspish Maungatapu footage too but I forgot to delete the last vids off the card and ran out of memory over an hour before the end of the ride.

Nice work Nordie, 5mins is more my attention span. Those trails would be fun azz on one of those new KTM 350 freerides (the petrol one, wouldn't trust the electric one near water). Wonder if ktm nz is looking for a reasonably cheap tester?

I would lurrrrve a Freeride 350.
But riding its grandad isn't all that bad.
TT350 with trials tyres goes quite well.

Sounds good...

but a lot of blackberry at the start :pinch:

Sounds shit

Good vid, I like the nipple mounted camera view ;)

4ish more weeks and the fishing season ends, then, the adventure riding season begins :yes: Looking forward to heading up your way for a few rides and teeing up with the NADS lads at some stage, preferably on a gorse free route

Yay :scooter:

preferably on a gorse free route
In 4ish weeks the gorse will be waterlogged and harmless :innocent:

NordieBoy

25th March 2013, 18:11

Sounds good...

You want to bring your long legs for that one.
There's a bit of riding the steep, wet, slippery hump between the deep wheel ruts involved :scooter:

But only at the start.
Then it gets steep, but no ruts...

I thought you did well getting up that start hill (we have to name it - what about Teeter tooter as I seem to remember the bike stuck wanting to go backwards on a ledge)
Some of those looked horrendously steep.
I'm glad i saw that as I was thinking about going out there for a ride - i'll put the blanket back on it now till I forget what it's like.

BTW your right fork is 3 clicks soft.

Yeah, I throttled off at just the right point and ended up having to give it a little more as it wanted to go back down again :pinch:

Yesterday, I tried a few climbs that didn't pan out, but one in particular did...
From the Teal Lookout over the dam up to the east...
Made it to the top :yes: First time evar :woohoo:

Soooo close to looping it out several times :crazy:

Most of the climbs are more suited to knobblies rather than the trials tyre at the moment as they're a bit loose.
The trials tyre hits the soft patches and loses momentum quite quickly. Not that I'm carrying that much to start with...

There's been a dozer down from Mt Everest to the Gun Club Valley and it's much easier.
Tried going up and got 1/5th of the way :woohoo:

From a distance the climbs all look quite smooth and do-able :facepalm:

Nothing wrong with my right fork that some fork oil wouldn't fix...

Do you know how difficult it is to find grunting sound effects on the net to dub in?

Pretty easy. Would have been able to get big bikes around (just) and roady tyres would have been ok.
Now, if there'd been any water on the track... :pinch:

Bugger you Nordie for reminding me of that. :Pokey:

Shit that was a bit of fun going over the jumps on the back of the DR.
Must be your birthday very soon as well then aye? Cheers for the memories

Bloody good of you blokes to help out . Still feel lucky to have a bunch of fellas tht would go out of their way to drag a bike back up & yep i kinda miss Woodman on big Red - more fun than a barrel full of monkeys.
