hell yeah, where you at in the SC Mtns? im like 15 minutes above Lexington, in Felton.

I'm more of an off roader singletrack cross country rider. I dont like the track because 1/2 the people there cant ride and jump on top of you in the air etc. plus i dont like jumping more than 50ft.

and i'd rather break my *** charging up a rock hill climb than casing a double.

I usually ride Metcalf or Hollister. Havent been to clear creek because i dont want to get lost there, i'll go within a year though.

Heres a youtube video:

Go to clear creek, the back side, through New Idrea. It's my winter haven, I wish I could go there every weekend.

I live mostly down at my girlfriends house in Los Gatos, but my parents live up off of Bear Creek, (where I grew up). It's down a 2mile dirt road, called Bear Creek Canyon Road.

then both you and i are pros at that section. I can do it in 2:57 (uphill, from white bridge after camelbush, all the way to the mile marker marked "3.00" right before Summit Rd.)

do you take your 50 out to Clear Creek? haha 50's are awesome, i sold mine. I was gonna get a 110 but lost interest since they are only fun when your friends have the same bike,and none of mine did.

I did ride my 50 all the way to Summit and 17 with two other guys on 50's haha that was fun hillclimbing the hill around the bridge going up the hill.

Yeah, I don't use the triangle anymore. Center stand and tree's now... haha

I've only been going to Carnegie but it's pretty boring now, I want to try Hollister. I may go to Carnegie on Wednesday and just ride the track.

Uh.. I just got back into it after a 7 year hiatus and have only been a few times, but... 75% trail 25% track I guess. Carnegie's trails kind of suck. It's either up or down, not to mention very rocky.

I'm going to have to time that section. Camelbush, i like that.

I just got the 50 a couple weeks ago,... it has the 88cc bigbore, and a fat rear spring, so it's 'grown up approved', haha.

But I just took it out to Clear Creek last weekend, and my buddy brought a 50 with a 125cc engine in it. We set up a little track around where we were camping, and had 50 races. IT WAS RAD. We were sliding around like crazy in the mud: Best time ever.

Speaking of which, I need new pegs, I broke one. DAMN!

cool, ive only been in sand on quads and trucks.

Yeah i dont know about Carnegie, ive only been there twice and didnt really get to explore that much. different terrain.

i always wanted to bore my 50 out, but figured i'd just buy a 110. sounds like fun.

I'll try to get some helmet cam videos on my youtube next week.
