@@Zayro2010 it gets the blood pumping! No lack of excitement, that’s for sure

@@ratherberiding5964 I think i saw that one of yours. Definitely didn’t look as steep in your video. The GoPro effect remains real!

@@BlackDirt_Enduro we hit the very first part over the winter briefly… definitely a little hairier now. It’s a solid trail. Gets tight in some place! Nice work!

Thanks! I try to upload weekly and break videos into trail systems or "portions of the day" Should have some more this coming Sunday and Monday. I'm on a 23 yz125x; apex head, boysen rad valve, lectron billetron, funnel web air filter (all in BeRad's freight train kit), and a steahly flywheel weight. It's a little bore doin' big bore stuff!

@@weeblewobbles Sweet! I live about 40 minutes north of FRO and have been talking myself into buying a dirtbike and membership. Watching your content is convincing me.

@@DavidFox-m4n Sweet! Do it! I've been out in that environment for a little over a year now but grew up in my parent's yard and then moved to the street. So it's all pretty new to me up there. Some of the older videos will show that, but I don't want to take them down because there is a satisfaction in seeing progress. Lmk when you pull the trigger and we'll take you to some wild trails!

Nice! Burma is a great spot. Always something to explore there. Did you do anything to the bike? After the first ride, I caved and bought BeRad's freight train kit. It basically turns it into a lightweight 300

@weeblewobbles put on an aluminum skid plate some hand guards and the oversized tank. I'm just starting to get fully comfy with getting loose on the bike. Been watching all of your videos getting so pumped to get back out there. Out of the fro single track which do you find the most mellow? Love the content thanks for the reply.

@@billcreek1234 Locust Gap and Burma have the best overall variety. Parts of each can be pretty nasty, but you're more likely to find something there that's not so deadly. At Locust Gap, I'd recommend heading across 54. It's pretty flat over there. At Burma, there's a section right off the parking lot that is pretty tame as well past the coal piles. There's also North of the parking lot at Burma bordering a watershed, but the entrance is tricky and continues for the first maybe half mile There's also this: th-cam.com/video/2QTmN88H-5s/w-d-xo.html if you haven't seen it at Ashland North over 61 BUT everything else at Ashland North that I've ever found is not beginner friendly. This is generalized advice; even the tame sections have some pretty wild stuff with a wrong turn or two. Hope this helps!

@weeblewobbles you sir are a credit to the community. Thank you. See ya out there.

@@DirtRaider450 it kept us busy for sure! I try to divide our rides into sections of the day or by trail instead of bouncing all around; this was the very last part of our day and we were cooked!

@@weeblewobbles I understand. I have been trying to work up to 1 hour rides and its tough.

@@DirtRaider450 we're usually out for 5 hours +/-. But we also take frequent stops, a snack/fuel break etc. And we're certainly not racing through the trails.

The dragonback section is one I try to do every time we're there, but I'm usually met with some resistance from everyone else. The last rocky trail was an accident, but I want to check out more of it.

@@weeblewobbles I will be up there friday the 26th. I'm only familiar with Burma.

@@Pint76 there’s a lot of good stuff at Locust Gap. Lg, Burma, and Ashland north are probably my favorites.

FRO properties (Locust Gap) in PA.

No. The exterior side seals need removed to cut the glass out and are therefore damaged. And the light strips for the sky lounge need broken off the glass as well, damaging them in the process.

I'm sure there are other reasons I can't think of at the moment as well. BMW only sells the glass roof as an assembly with the frame. It'd be about a $9-10k risk doing anything with it that makes it non returnable.

Famous Reading Outdoors properties in PA

If I understand correctly, ALL of the glass is out. At that point, there's no more cutting because the clearance between the roof frame and the body is too tight. You need a clamping jaw, engine crane, and heat gun heat VERY patiently. It takes a long long time. There are two K2 beads on the front so don't forget to get each one.

@@weeblewobbles okay thanks. We thought you were using a fien knife. Unfortunately we do not have a crane at our disposal..

@@RaddDadd29 It was a Fein to get the the glass sunroof off the glass sunroof frame. But the frame MUST be heated and pulled. ANYTHING else will damage the body.

@@weeblewobbles gotcha. I'll let my boss know. Thanks for the quick replies!

@@RaddDadd29 You got it. I try to keep up between cars when I can

Front and rear glasses were removed with the Spyder 3 by WRD Glass Tools. It's very easy and as long as there aren't any big chips around the perimeter, all glass can be removed and reinstalled. Both of those came out very nicely and were reused.

I just rewatched it a few times in that spot and that looks WAY SAFER!. Haha it was definitely sketchy getting around that tree. Especially as a shorter guy.

Thanks for the sub!

As far as FRO goes, it's a relatively smooth trail and there definitely aren't many of them. Bike is a 2023 yz125x. This day was my first with an AT81EX rear and it was definitely an improvement over the stock MX33's.

Nino! It was great riding with you for the last part of the day. We’re heading out again Saturday, but don’t know where yet if you want to come.

It’s a great little single right off Burma road. There’s some rocky doubles leading to that hill climb which I typically don’t film and some great stuff after but the battery died. I should have more of that trail in a similarly titled video from a month or so back.

There was a survey at the end of the year last year for members about offering day passes with a member (bring a friend kind of thing). I’m not sure how it all went but it was proposed.

🥳🥳 thanks!

You picked the perfect time to ask! This was my first day on an AT81EX and it was sticky! I previously had the factory tires MX33 which I really didn’t have any complaints about. As far as ratings go; logs: about the same, roots: definitely better, rocks: an absolute cheat code I had to relearn how to ride. Normally I’d slip and grip and here I found myself with the front wheel off the ground and stalling at times. Highly recommend.

La GoPro hace que todo parezca bien, pero ese sendero estaba al borde de un acantilado en cualquier dirección. No tener espacio para pisar era aterrador.

I know I know :(

Yep. We spent a good portion of our day heading from Locust Gap to Ashland north; most of this clip is on our way back but all on the Locust Gap side of things.

Thanks! I plan on hitting that one again. It definitely presented some challenges and the "side of a cliff" thing was both exciting and terrifying.

This is in PA?

@@curtiswlkr Yes. At Famous Reading Outdoors properties. Coal Country PA.

We have some (kinda similar) terrain where I’m at in Northern California. Lots of single track heavy forested areas. The TH-cam algorithm fed me your video and I had to look where that was. Disappointed it’s so far away!!

Yay TH-cam! It’s very rocky here. It’s actually retired coal mining property. Rocks and roots (especially at Burma) I’ve only been riding for a little over a year in terrain like this and it’ll either kill you quick, or teach you quick. Safe to say I’m pretty addicted at this point.

Matty (red) is on a 00 CR125 and I'm on a 23 yz125x with BeRad's "freight train" kit.

I'm not sure where AOAA starts and ends but it is within FRO lines. The first section of power lines near the parking lot is a stay out area as of recently, but you can take the woods route over 54 back to them. Hang a right and go up and down a nasty rocky double and dip in from there. It's just East of where they're logging out some of Locust Gap

Thanks! I should have today's ride up in the next few days at the latest; exploring the far East side

It really doesn't. The GoPro effect is real

I have a generic chin mount from Amazon and mount it upside down. The footage self corrects itself to facing the correct way. I shoot 4k@120 with all the preset image stabilization

This was over the course of a few days. Cost was roughly $15k with the glass costing marginally more than the labor.

@@weeblewobbles thank you for the reply and great work

@@ientrancedi thanks! If you find yourself in the Lancaster, PA area, I’m your guy.

@@weeblewobbles thanks I actually looked at license plate colors in video to see if you were in my state (NY) and figured you’re somewhere in PA, at the moment trying to avoid dealing with this for as long as possible and attempt temporary glass repair for now with repair resin but very grateful for talented people like you that can solve these unexpected stressful surprises of life

@@ientrancedi Some of them are visible such as our loaner fleet at the end. But I spent 18 hours blurring plates; at least legible ones so hopefully it was a little bit of challenge. Resin and UV curing hardener may at least help a little. You wouldn't hurt anything trying it. Depending on circumstances too, insurance may be an option.

We're planning another Burma trip Saturday so I should have some more stuff early next week

Your hard work out there is appreciated! I wouldn't mind going up a day sometime and doing a little cleanup/cutting and give back to my weekend escape

@@weeblewobbles It’s almost as much a workout as riding. You’ll be sore after 4-6 hrs of clearing brush and stone. I really enjoy the solitude and allows you to become more acquainted with the trails. I enjoy it almost as much as riding. I know, sounds weird. I’m sure we’ll cross paths out there. Ride safe!

@@ericbaxter7813 I bet! I've cleared some private land before and it's a slow, exhausting process. But a good therapy nonetheless

Wilson and I are planning a Burma trip 4/27!

Always :)

Thanks for your support :) It really is wild out there. Suspension obviously soaks some things up but the real magic is in the image stabilization of the GoPro. There are plenty of times I get hung up and when I watch it back, it looks so stupid. You really can't truly understand what it's like out there until you're out there. My first day doing any of this kind of riding was about a year ago. And I passed out the second I got inside. It's a humbling place for sure.

Thanks! Someday we'll actually be good. For now, we're getting by mostly upright.

Failure is part of the game. I've gotten more comfortable standing which helps a lot. I still prefer going uphill over downhill

The next job I find exciting and worthy enough, I'll be sure to do it again. Thanks!

If you record with GPS enabled (GoPro), you have the option to overlay them in Quik. It's all done on the phone app and takes FOREVER to encode. I usually start with about 40 clips and the encoding/saving process takes about 14 hours. I believe it can now be done on Quik for Mac. I'm patiently awaiting Quik for PC which would probably cut those 14 hours down to about 30 minutes.

St. Clair (Burma) in coal country PA

Thanks! Days like those are the ones I look forward to the most

Never let the cars win ;)

It sure does, doesn't it? I TRIED so hard to lean it out and get it right, but after about 3 hours of seat time, I put a Lectron Billetron on and never looked back.

@@weeblewobbles I’ve thought about doing that but for half the money you can put an apex head with a jetting kit to pair which would certainly be better than just a new carb. Did you ever think about going that route? If so why did you chose lectron instead?

@@coalcountryrider I bought beRad's kit which included the Lectron. Looked to be the best for the value. Includes the Lectron, Apex head, Boysen Reeds, and a funnel web air filter. Never had a problem since and the bottom end is sooooo much better. Basically, the bottom end exists. It had nothing before. It also went from gallons to liters in fuel economy. Where I used to put a gallon, I'm only putting a liter now.

@@weeblewobbles damn man that kit sounds so nice but it’s steep at 1k. I have a built ktm 300 so the yz is my back up/local ride bike so it’s tough to spend 1k on that.

@@weeblewobbles how are you liking the stock suspension for fro enduro? How much do you weigh? Im 235 with gear and I still find the valving stiff.
