    Sweet video. Thanks for sharing.

    On another note: Is there an available map of the area trails. If I find some time, I may want to get out there, spontaneous, like

    No maps that I am aware of, but there is usually a dirtbag or two around that will be happy to show you the trails. Once you get the lay of the land, it's not terribly hard to figure out.

    It's best to have someone show you the trails your first time out, a couple trails are hard to find. We will be more than happy to give you a personal tour...

    Yeah, that's probably what I'll do. I just have to pay closer attention to the Dirtbag thread.

    Thanks

    That's me in front and I would have no desire to do G-Out on my MX. :)

    It was intentionally made to be too tight and twisty to be much fun on a moto or a horse. If you like your forks hitting the stops and lots of slipping your clutch, then I guess maybe it would be fun on a moto ;)

    Plenty of other trails out there that would be much better for them. Saw a few out there this afternoon going down Burn Victim.

    Making Of G Out

    Here are some pictures from the making of G OUT if anyone is interested...
    I had to moto out the sand bags to re-enforce the bridges from rutting.
    That big rock is the size of a piano. Could not move it so just pivoted and layed down in creek section then covered with dirt.
    The pictures give you some idea of what we had to get through~!
    If you would like I can also post up pictures from the new trail we just completed "Dog Tag" located up the Kona creek on the left side halfway up as you climb.
    Open to suggestions for September when we will again be building. May want to make a connector to be able to climb Burn Victim. Any other suggestions lemme know.

    rgeniec: Man, some motos made a mess in there over the w/e. Let me know if you want to go in and do some more 'clean-up' soon. I see someone did some work on that one narrow bridge just above the steep up-n-down section :bang: . I scraped on a few areas a few weeks back, but it seems to be getting a lot of traffic lately.

    I will be sending you a PM later tonight.
