[QUOTE="MarksCR250, post: 121895, member: 23850"] I arranged to meet a local rider who races 200cc expert class on the 4th to ride a mountain trail he knew about. I had never been there. On the phone he called it a 'gnarly' place.. Now I know people post riding technique questions on this forum all the time, but all the forums and all the questions couldnt have prepared a person for a trail as nightmarish as this! Lets just say that a trials bike would have been better suited to it than my CR250. But with a steep drop off to one side and a rock and tree root strewn trail width (if you could call it that) of about 10 inches, turning back wasnt an option. Not that I wanted to! It was hell, but I learned a lot by doing it. My question is a general one, but its: have any of you gone on rides or had experiences that made riding advice seem 'laughable' while you were on the trail?? For example, when we got to the top I asked the third person in our group (40 and over class expert enduro) what his leg technique was and he said, 'whatever it takes- sometimes I'm dog paddling with both legs, sometimes.. etc.etc. ..you just do what ever it takes'. Survival mode :scream: [/QUOTE]
