I went riding upto dutch creek (alberta canada) this weekend and started it the routine way a few times and the fast way and never had any trouble either way. only once did I hit the compresion stroke and stopped my foot dead but I just decompressed it and away it went. My 426 sure gets good air and soaks up the rocky climbs nicely.
I read this in the 426 starting post but couldn't reply there because it's closed.... I too live in Alberta and would like to know where this "Dutch Creek" riding area is. Is it public land?
The only places that I currently go riding are Cougar Patch (Along North Saskatchewan River) and the Vegreville Motocross Track. I'd like to find more places to ride. PLease reply.
