    Wow! Sorry to all who came about how that turned out. Haha.

    I thought that would have worked out a lot better but between the hick on the dirtbike, the closed roads, and the lack of dirt, I am going to have to admit to an epic fail on that one.

    At the end of China Grade there was some really bitchin dirt road. I will post up some photo an video from it soon.

    Hope you all got home safe and we will have to do that again in a much better planned manner :sorry:

    Hope your little dude is feeling better.

    We ended up heading up to China Grade. About half way up people turned back because it was a pretty boring gnarled up concrete road. I kept going but there was only about 4 miles of dirt roads that we "sessioned" for a while. I also went up on a sketchy tight little ranger trail...no bueno. haha

    Tyler, glad to hear you guys had a good time out in Hollister. I would be super down to get a meet going out there. The riverbed out in Hollister is fun too...though we might come up on an equally sketch dirt biking hick.

    We should make plans to do Prairie City too once they reopen. The track out there is a blast.

    I don't know if this link will work or not, but here is a little 1-minute video: My buddy who was with me (the puker) is a pro mountain biker...you can tell by this video. haha. Definitely a mountain bike-ish film.

    Bummer! Sorry we missed you! Yeah...you did not miss much. Haha

    A couple of wrong turns, a sketchy dude, and not much "off-roading"

    Yeah its all good, i hadn't been up there in a long time. Still a cool drive. I got some off-roading in this weekend anyway. I'd be down for a hollister run sometime.

    Yea im from that way, I have some friends in boulder creek that have some trails on their property that are fun. Up by my place theres a few trails too but some lead to meth labs and crap way down in one of the valleys so I try not to ride them too often
