    Blacks are easily done in a tacoma go to trail 16 and run that from 2. The red/black are the buggy trails and I've conquered 2 of them in the tacoma. Double blacks get real hard like the one we had to turn around on (21). I don't know this grey trail marking. But some of the double blacks you can do in a tacoma like 15, I've done that a few times.

    All the green trails would be good for your DS and in some areas they get a little rocky. I wouldn't take it on some of the blues but there are a few I know it would be fine because they are pretty much like greens.

    Sup,
    You'd love to ride T1 to 2 all the way out to I think it's 55a or something like that up to Carryville flats it's really cool up there. Then you could jump out of the park and head into Carryvile and go look at the sandmines area. You can head out to the windmills jump out of the park and hit up the Train then do some canyon carving to the jail and get back in the park and head down what is a black only because of the grade and narrowness of switchbacks back into the greens. The ride before the black is cool along a ridge. 45 I think the trail is or 44a I forget exactly but I can get there and drive around. Your DS would be awesome on the switchbacks the DCLB not so much it was a bitch :rofl:

    Nice. I need to get off my ass and find the monies to get the camp trailer to where I can start bringing the bike. It'd be cool to setup camp and be able to ride around and check stuff out.

    I wish I could afford to grab a CRF250F so that I could have one to let people borrow. It's more fun when you have a riding partner.

    The only riding I'll ever do again is offroad. After having a really close friend get killed and leave behind twin daughters who are a few months younger than my daughter it's scared me enough to not want to ride on the road anymore.

    Got these old ome Dakar springs on the rc and they have rubber bushings that are worn slap out like the inner sleeve is laying on the spring. My question is I thought these used the yellow bushings did the originals not? I guess just need to order the ome bushing kit.

    First trip to Windrock, 15 is the first trail we did. The second trip it was washed out a lot more but the third trip they had went through with a dozer and smoothed it out some.

    This was the middle that I don't have video for, I tried to ride up on the bank and did for about 50 feet. Had to finish it like the picture shows.

    Yep the ditch is nasty and it's only gotten worse since then. There is a rock about 2/3 of the way up it you now have to bump over. I've done it in the pouring rain talk about a trash fest.
    I've also had to pull a completely dead rig all the way through the ditch that weighed about 6k lbs
