Here are the pics I been looking for, my first riding near death experience in years,
my son and I went up the mountain behind camp to get a better view of the riding
area, looking for the good trails from camp to sand mountain, we were going along
EASY trials looking for a way to the top when all the sudden I figured out I was on
one of them trails where you have to go all the way to the top, NO turning back or
stopping your committed to go ALL the way up, almost to the top the hill turns into
ROCK with loose rocks and and gravel on top about the time your working the
clutch throttle and tapping the rear break to control traction it goes almost VERTICAL
in solid jagged ROCK, I used all 34 years riding experience to make it to the
top my heart was pounding a million miles an hour, I got to a point where I felt
I could safely stop I did to make sure my son didnt try to follow me, he was smart
enough not to "I seen all them rocks a flying their was no way I was going to try
that one dad" guess rocks the size of soft balls were thrown at him.
Here are some pics...
