Message: [QUOTE="keithb7, post: 965409, member: 58846"] Anyone here ride real knarly technical single track type trails? The sort of trails with many log crossings, steep rocky climbs, too tight for high speed. Have you ever sat on your bike in the bottom of a steep tree sloped gulley, where you look up and wonder how you are going to get out of there? There is no trail out, because you made your own on the way down, the trees were so thick you literally had to push your bike down hill to get there. Riding up rock faced slopes, where you find yourseld thinking "wow this would be a great hike for the local scout troops". I find myself on these trails more often than not lately. My CR250 is great. I am learing that it's all about keeping your momentum up when climbing major obstacles like rock faces and downed trees. Clutch abuse is mandatory. I was on a ride like this last night, I am sore all over. There were a few times when it was all I could muster of my remaining strenght to lift my bike back up from a fall. What sort of tips do any of you have when riding these types of trails? And don't say stay off these trails... :) It's a real skill to conquer these trails. I have a lot to learn. We don't race however we feel like we just won a national motocross title when we make it to the top. Thnks for any input. Keith [/QUOTE]
