Sorry, I don't use those kinds of devices. Although I know it is buried in the gopro video, I don't know how to access or use it. I use the National Geographic maps of the Tahoe National Forest West and a lot of trial and error. I tried to give enough info so others could find their way too. The Rubicon Trail is at the bottom of the map, but it is good to have to the Crystal Basin map as well.
Good to know that's there to practice on...if I can get the cahoonas to do that on my orange 500. Nice work, that requires serious confidence in ones downhill braking. I'm pretty sure I took troll up once and flamed out half way up the big, final rut. With my ecu mod now, it should be doable without stalling.
Yeah that looks like the most difficult deer trail in the park. I thought you might come across a skeleton next to a Hodaka or something. I like to ride where someone can find my a55.
In a bag on the rear fender I have the tool bag that came with the bike, spare tube, and mini-pump. On my back I have 100 oz of water, a sandwich, snacks, and long tire irons. There are also miscellaneous small things like patches and aluminum tape. So, taking chances by carrying the minimum. On this video I learned the value of carrying extra oil, but don't know if I will carry it. Thank you for the compliment.
Yes, a piece of cake except the end. I would recommend taking a look at the entry off Lake Rd first to make sure you are comfortable getting up that. It changes depending on erosion and use and could be challenging.
Normally no, but I was trying out a Shinko 525. This video was filmed when the tire was totally worn out. I find the tire grabs too much when it hits something firm and dry. I didn't enjoy it when coming off of something slippery with the tire and engine spinning fast because that is where the trail is usually its steepest, not the time you want front tire to come up.
I would love to see more Hollister content. These secret trails are super fun to watch and find myself. Keep it up and you should make another series of mapping out trails on the adobe side
I bought the 350 to do dual sport rides in the Sierras. My experience is that on mixed terrain (pavement, dirt road, and trails as on this video) I need 2 gallons after 6 hrs of easy riding (even if the terrain isn't easy). This seems very consistent for that kind of use (Loops around the Rubicon and Dusy-Ershim trails). It is nice having that safety margin of an extra gallon when doing something unfamiliar in remote areas.
@@outonabikeride252 are you happy with the 350? I currently only have a 690 that I use for long distance rides. It's a little too heavy for some of the trails I would lile to ride in the Sierras. Right now I'm looking for a dual sport for tighter trails and I'm between a 350 and a 500. They seem to be really close in weight. What drove you towards the 350?
@@alvk3996 I wanted the bike that would be best in the most difficult of conditions. My thought was a 350 would be lighter, stay cooler, use less gas, and not tire me out by wanting to keep going when I wish it had stalled. I was also concerned the gear box steps from one gear to another would be too tall for the difficult trails, forcing me to stay in lower gears.
Great Adventures, stay safe out there, last rode "Down of course" that section of the "Upper" creek Mar-4th weekend and slide was not there. Thanks for all the work out there. Only 3 hours ;) .... Cant believe you are solo adventurer on some of those treks.
Recently did this trail after some rains, its another story in the wet. Rocks have moved all over the place and had to cut some trees to clear as path.
I went there by myself once and was a little intimidated by some of the hill climbs. I went there wanting to see the mx track. I found a small track by the parking lot, but I don't think I ever found the MX track.
Can’t wait to see more hollister videos from you! I’ve been waiting for a new video from you for a so long!!! This looked really fun and I can’t wait to go ride this trail
You really make me mad because that is not no damn bike trail that is more of a hiking trail. You’re gonna bust your engine on that you guys always want to be out there doing some dare devilish stuff.
When the park opened in January I went through to experience it with rushing water. I don't need to do that again anytime soon. All gravel and sand is gone leaving a very rough ride. At any drop, a pool has been dug out that stops the front wheel. I was filming, but don't know yet what I will do with it. Since the park is closed again maybe more filming when it opens and a video about the damage. Who knows what has happened in the adobe areas.
@@outonabikeride252 yeah, Carnegie had been closed since January 1st. I’ve been going to Frank Raines OHV Got a couple short videos up from today. With more to come. Thanks 👍
That was QUITE technical! Am exhausted just watching. And I covered my eyes thunking you’d slip off that dirt goat-trail area early on. So THAT’s Rubicon trail. How many times have you completed that whole big loop?
Thank you for these series of troll trail videos. been wanting to ride it for a couple years now but I didnt know where to start. I will be avoiding the first leg as I know my abilities. 👍
I live 30 minutes from Silver Lake to the west. I used to ride up and around that area a lot when I first moved up there 20 years ago, but I never rode horse canyon. I see you went up Allen Camp trail to the Carson Trail (aka squaw ridge) I have ridden that area many times and was just there in August. Glad to see someone video this trail, I was always told parts of horse canyon had a few big drops on it, so I never even bothered riding it. Great video.
