    I apologize if I've mislabeled the names of the single tracks. I usually ride alone, so basically everything I find out is from youtube videos and the forums/trail maps.

    The fire road in Taipa canyon is great right now. The rain has packed down almost all of the loose sections of dirt. I made these videos from my ride on the 15th. As you can see Kona & Burn Victim are in great shape. Burn Victim is still a bit over grown, and narrow, but defiantly a blast.

    Also, what's the name of the single track that starts off by going under the electric towers?

    Thanks, I'll probably hit G-out on Tuesday even though it always kicks my butt. I rode it the same day I rode Kona and Burn Victim, but my camera's battery died so I wasn't able to film it. They have a bunch of jumps on it right now, not that I would even dare hit those jumps.

    Burn victim actually looked better than the last time I rode it. Then, you couldn't even see the trail through the weeds. Looks like your cam took a few licks as it was.

    Looks like you were there in the morning or more towards the middle of the day. The setting sun and video cams dosn't play nice together on those trails. Same with G-Out.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Yeah, I always intend to go early, but after my morning coffee and such I really don't even hit the trails until about 10:30/11 a.m. Today unfortunately that means I missed the window before it started raining. Boo rain.
