Now you're talkin! This is more like what we have here in Southern Oregon. Trees, rocks, roots n ruts. I love riding in the trees. Sometimes we come across lookout towers. It's really cool when they are manned as the people who stay in them are very knowledgeable. Fall is a great time to ride in NoCal and Southern Oregon, many colors, very beautiful. Epic video guys. Your perma-smiles say it all.
Brother, your videos have expedited the time it's taken for me to get a dual sport and explore what Cali has to offer. Can't wait to get it on the dirt.
I've always run and preferred image stabilization off. I like to feel the ride and not like i'm floating down the trail. It's another version of "gopro makes everything look flat". Beautiful trail and excellent riding as always.
Last time I was there about 3 years ago the only one open was Diamond Mill. Is that the one you're talking about? I was really nice and had some steep single track. I'm from Central CA and it was worth the trip.
My God I just came across this. Auburn/Tahoe is my old stomping ground. I miss the northern sierra’s so damn much. I am a electronics engineer in San Diego or I would be up there in a heartbeat. I definitely need to check those trails out
Ya, we’re stuck with mostly desert riding living in SoCal. My favorite quick trip is St George UT or you to Kennedy Meadows. A trip to the tree’s is a bit more of a commitment
Epic trail!!!!! 4k doesn't hurt either, thanks for sharing the video. The breakfast looks good too, I don't cook well, off to go source some good food, lol. I do have Dt. A&W, so it's a party, currently many buds enjoying this video before we hit the garage to install 6 mouse's(Yikes)
Buy a Rabaconda.... Makes changing Mousses so much easier. Not 30 seconds easy, but much easier. Thanks for sharing with your buddies and enjoy the fast food
@@EverySingleSunday Big Thank you, I've been looking at cheaper options, but the fanfare isn't the best, it's rare to see a Rabaconda Dig, I'm going to buy their big levers too, I bent some of my curved irons that were tusk. I'll get a few more tire changing parties and get to hang out with friends with a cool changer as well, lol. Maybe it will come with some good swag, like a hat too. We at the $1 taco's from burger king, not real food, but one friend brought some HOT chilli made by mom, hot in and out!!!!!!!!!!!
@@EverySingleSunday up here in NorCal i ride my '19 300xcw all year. looks like more incentive to get out of SoCal! great vids. i love all the cry babies who get mad that you say where you ride. they are the same people who probably cry when you dont say where as well.
Ive done Grass-valley 80mile trails/fire roads to the lookout tower on the California side of Lake Tahoe. It's insane up there. I was lucky and got it on a sunny clear day. Could see all the way across Lake Tahoe.
After 30 years of living in norcal and riding dirt for 5 years while living there, I always wanted to ride those kind of trails. Always wanted to do creek crossings. Now living in WA and riding in Idaho most of the trails are like this... The down side is limited riding due to snow and weather. I did ride through Downieville a couple times on sportbikes. Beautiful area.
Lucky guys, the sound of that orange bike is divine. Years ago my buddy and I used to hit the old coal mines in upstate PA, the trails were mind blowing. Regarding the work done to your bike, sadly I have concluded that if you ride you must also be your own mechanic. There's too much to lose to trust anyone else and even if your not as experienced as "professional mechanics" you care a lot more since your life depends on the functionality.
As soon as you took off stabilization i couldnt watch anymore. Breathtaking area from what i did watch. Looking forward to more videos( with stabilization lol)
I have to chuckle whenever I hear guys gush about the low-end of a 300. The old 400-450 2-stroke Euro bikes are so luggable and tractable it's like cheating. They practically climb trees. But, if you do stall out it's the devil's own job to start it again most of the time.
They old bikes made a top of power down low but it wasn’t smooth like the new bikes. The new 300s are more like a diesel and they will just lug and make smooth usable power If you haven’t tried one, you have to
@@EverySingleSunday The old Japanese bikes and the 250s were like that, but the Euro big-bores were butter. Like, if you rode my Husky 250 you'd definitely come away thinking that old bikes were peaky monsters. But displacement does cure a lot of ills. My 440 has the top end to keep up with anyone's 250 I've come across, but with big torque on the bottom and no powerband hit in between. Kind of like a 4-stroke that doesn't stall. When the Japanese companies made their big-bores, they tended to be like scaled-up 250s, with all the scariness that implies. They were fast but they also sold a lot of hospital beds. CC for CC the modern bikes are absolutely dominant in smooth flexible power. But they don't make 450 2-strokes anymore, so I get to cheat.
@@EverySingleSunday I think the first Husky that I'd say has reasonably smooth power would be the 390 in 1978. That still has a hit but it's mild. The 430 is more linear, and my buddy's 1984 400WR is greased silk. Their 250s were just plain slow until 1982, at which point they became VERY peaky.
Terry, they should be in there. While it sucks to have them, they help pay for my camera gear, tires, and gas to get to these places. Its just part of life as lame as they are. At least they are skipable
So when we left so-cal 15 years ago to gold dredge on all those creeks you guys were riding by on, t "The Divides", we moved all of our equipment in by packing it on XR600r's. Imagine 80 extra pounds on an Xr with all those steep drop-offs. WARNING! If you have loved ones in Big Bear you wont be going back very often 15 years and counting. LONG LIVE PLUMAS COUNTY
Both, we moved on to explore country much further out on KTM1190r's, If your looking for a local guide, I could help, love your channel. Keep it up if your looking for me find Dillons Auto in Portola, Dez or Dillon.
I agree with you on the 250 being better suited for lighter riders. I've found, for myself at least, when I get over 190 lbs. a stock 250 starts struggling. With a milled head maybe 210-215.
I just got ride the 2020 300 xcw and the 250 the other day during a demo. I rode a few other bikes as well both those 2 stood out to me. I'm a bit lighter at 175lbs and that 300 seemed like it was ready to catch me out and try and kill me any chance it could!!! Any time it hit the powerband all the way through 4th gear I couldn't keep the front tire on the ground. The 250 was still blisteringly fast but a little more controlled and tractored pretty well for me at 175lbs. That 300 is a beast! I think it just might be a little too much for me lol
@@EverySingleSunday living in florida I dont come across a lot of hills so perhaps climbing a hill or a large obstacle and getting the bike right around idle it would lug and pull away from idle much stronger, I can certainly see and feel that. But I would have to ride the 250 in terrain like that to see if i needed it ya know. Either way they are both amazing machines! Made my cr250 feel a bit slow hahaha
Looks similar to the mountains of N GA. Come with a tagged bike to our DS rides. Research one called The Hooch put on by GARTRA. BTW ... knobbies on wood = no good
Where you guys were, I don't think dragging the feet was a "rookie move." If you biffed in those boulders you might get seriously jacked up! Good call And I think you've got the best content out there. I can't ride at your level.. but its more realistic than Haaker or Jarvis LOL!
Yes great video, it sucks living in Texas, we don't have anything like that here, barnwell mountain in gilmer tx is good but no mountains, I have to vacation to a place like that
Terry Wilson I Agree. Barnwell is pretty nice singletrack but just doesn’t compare to this. Have you been to CTOR near Temple/Killeen? If not and you like a challenge I highly recommend it.
I love these videos! The trails are awesome! I do wish the channel was more family friendly (regarding language) because I’d love to show these videos to my kids. They love this type of stuff. Great job!
I like to ride as much as mushroom hunt. This looks sweet for both. Recently moved here (reno area) from NW Indiana right on the Michigan border. The trails your on remind me of home
@@EverySingleSunday im in the SLV in Colorado tons of stuff around me for the summer but its all getting snowed in. Im not afraid of a little travel though gotta camper trailer and i love goin new places. Yall ride year round in CA? Would be cool af to meet up if u do anything in CO next summer too.
@@chadherrick5924 yep, year round just gotta beat the heat or cold so we travel a little. My sister is in Morrison so I plan on coming out next summer for sure
@@EverySingleSunday nice man Morrison is just 3 hours or so from me and there is so much cool shit in between too. You on Insta? How can i get in contact? If ur on Insta hit me up on there or reply ur @. I wanna drive out there and ride some cali shizz. Im @sasquatch_med_grower420 on insta lets link up brotha.
That track is EPIC I see why he needed a little extra padding it would be nice if you could do a ride rap_up at the end thanks I had fun watching and drinking a cold one. JoP
How many days ago did you guys ride up there? Looks epic and wet still we were going to head up there, but thought it might be dry since we haven't gotten rain in the last 3 weeks.
Dang! I live in sac and ride up in foresthill and Georgetown mostly. You’re from SoCal and rode downieville before I did lol. Heard about it from a bunch of mountain bikers. Thanks for the video! On my list for this year now
Just stumbled on you’re channel, I’m subscribed now! I was planning a trip up there soon but have never been. Was trying to figure out where to park. Where did you stage your van?
