I really messed up my vids some how But, I had the time of my life.
Not sure I have ever riddin dirt 4 days straight before but All I can say is it April yet again?
The one clip I did manage is boring until the end.

It was really weird keeping 18 lbs + in your tires to keep from getting pinch flats in the ledges when you hit a sand section and wonder why things are not hooking up like your used to:D


By the way the last seconds are my bid to the new GoPro3.

This by far was a great learning experience for me.
I met 21 friends and rode with 19 of them.

I have never before rode a ride for 4 days.

The trails we hit were planned to perfection.

Had no real offs but plenty of drops and I learned a ton thanks to the help of all.
I feel like my game jumped over night every night.
Hot dang was this a great trip and I can only hope that I get a chance to do this one again.
These boys from Colorado freakin ROCK.

At one point I watched Garbanzo head back to see what we were waiting for on a group that must of had a problem.
It was a sandy section with enough rocks in places to take out a tire with out dought.
That crazy basturd had to be wide open in top gear and looked to me to be doing well over 90 mph.
Needless to say I think he was right at home on this ride and not worried about shoulder injury in the least bit.

It was the ride of my life thus far for sure.

This all started with 5 guys from Arizona and a friend near by that started to fade out real quick when a good friend from up north says hay let me put you on a tentative list and let's see what happens.

THANK GOD I took him up on this:hail2thechief:.

Looks like it was a lot of fun! Drove through there the Friday before Easter and the Friday after. Wished I could have stayed and rode. Beautiful weather! I LOVE Moab!

FIrst day was top of the world that I think was tied into two others.
Seconda day it was Poison spider tied into a couple of others.
Third day was like Kane creek and some white knuckle thing and Pritchet cyn I think.
Fourth day was basically slick rock with some Hells Gate.

Garbanzo can tell you better than I can.:cool2:

That third day was the ride.

These boys from Colorado know how to put a ride together.

Everyday was great but that third day:2thumbs: That's why we all ride.:lol8:

He got a little pissed and decided to throw (he's a big boy) his bike down. It broke the bar clean.

If you seen this one before then I am dbl messing up:lol8:

This is the point when you must make a decision up the cliff or just sideways through the next one.

In the real world this is what happens when you don't pick a line.

Thank God we got the jitters out early on cause shit just got worse.:D

Don't worry Garbo I can hold out till spring before you show your vids:lol8: No rush at all Brother.
This shit is deeply burned into the little brain I think I have.:lol8:

But you know just incase I have forgotton some?

This was by far the funnest 4 days of hell raising I have had in so long I can't remember.
Damb fun stuff.
Damb fine people.
Damb fine food.

And because I'm one of those that enjoy damb fine beer at the days end it just did not stop getting better.

By the way Damb is Dam with a BRo tied to it.

This trip is just what I needed. At best guess I'd say about 80% lead me into shit I never dreamed of trying.
I had so much fun and I was scared to death at the same time.
We hit shit I never thought was even possible bet yet we all got through it.
Best dam ride I have had to date and all I can say is it April 2014 yet.:lol8:

Thank you Garbanzo for pencilling me in.
I was supposed to be in Moab with a bunch from AZ. But one by one they bailed on me.
But I got lucky.
And all I can say is them boys from CO. know how to throw a shindig for sure.

It was so cool I met one dude from TS. But what was really cool was the fact that most of us are all in the same age range.
And you would never guess by the way they ride.
Needless to say if you ever get this kind of chance and don't take full advantage of it you may very well hard a hard time with looking into mirrors ever again.

Hells gate next year. I'm sure I can do it and keep my bars intact:D

Ryan is one crazy ass SOB and one of the nicest guys you can ever hope to meet.
I watched this guy go up a cliff of sandstone and back done it again that you would never believe unless you seen it for yourself.

Sure hope somebody has that one on film and we are just waiting to see it. ackhummmm Garbo?

I was struggling hard core coming down Pritchet Cayon and Ryan and Bret pulled me to the side and explained to me the importance of speed and a pair of brass ones. Thank God and just in time my I add.

Dam fine bunch and dam fine ride.
