GV Loop, Bear Claw Poppy -- TR

[Sombeech]

Boy oh boy, do I have a ton of video of this trail..............which will be posted in about a week.

Edit: The video is now done. Play it here:





Altogether we had 9 of us riding together throughout the weekend. Most of us hit this trail twice, but Shad and Mark hit it 3 times. It's just one of those classics that you want to do again just as soon as you finish.

Friday Morning: We met up with Scott F in St George at the trailhead, including Shad, Mark, Dan, and Scott N.

Saturday Afternoon: Shawn, LeRoy, James, Dan, Shad, Mark, and I hit it again.

I don't have any pictures of the Acid Drops, or Clavicle Hill, but you'll see plenty of them in the video.

It was a great weekend. Look for the upcoming TRs on Gooseberry Mesa and the JEM trail.

Nice . .. you have the company truck to take on trips?

Long story.... It broke down on our driver last week, and it was fixed by the time I got down there, so I drove it to SLC on the way back.

And it served a few purposes as well...

Also forgot to mention, EZ recognized me on the trail, so I met him.

good pics! I await salivating with anticipation for the videos

[Sombeech]

The video is finally done. I worked so long on this, that I think the quality began to suffer.

It's still OK though, I just wanted to get it over with.

It's about 10 minutes long, I just left some odds & ends in there.

[Sombeech]

Just in case the video shows not available, check back in the morning.

had to get this in before I headed off to work....COOL STUFF!! I am DROOLING

[Scott]

Nice. Good job on the video.

[accadacca]

I just got it to load. AWESOME!!! These videos keep getting better and better. I cant wait to see some from behind the boat this summer.

[Sombeech]

Thanks fellas.

So tell me, do you like the "extra scenes" in these videos at the end, or does it just make them too long?

[accadacca]

They're prolly a bit long for the general public. I don't mind cause I was there. Maybe have a regular version thats a couple minutes long or something and then have an extended version?

[Sombeech]

Yeah, I know the attention span isn't that long

So I put the break, or the "end" of the video when the music ends. Then, if people want to stick around, they can see the other stuff.

I guess it depends on their employer.

[greyhair biker]

Cool stuff all around! I like the break in the middle - course I like it anyway. Nice to have a narrative in there somewhere - more like being there.

Hey beech I liked it, but then again I was there. Great job!! Another great work from the beechmeister. I didn't mind staying around for the deleted scenes. Hopefully my employer didn't mind it either. I guess I will find out later.
