It's a ride that happens twice per year, look up 7 Springs Wolf Slide

For sure, I can't imagine doing some of those trails on a bike that big. I realize a good rider can do it, but I am far from that 😉

@@alabamadirtrider Lots of padding. It was really fun but you had to handle things differently. Just twist the throttle and go in what ever direction the bike took you. Just don't let off the throttle. The bike will climb anything and never loose traction. You might have to make a new trail but you got to the top.

It was a very cold morning and I couldn't feel my hands, so I dropped the clutch too fast and didn't have enough throttle when I hit that sudden uphill. Total skill issue.

@alabamadirtrider ahh

@@alabamadirtrider Is it just me or does everyone fall into the water more often during Winter?

It honestly was easy to complete all the trails before the rain hit. But yeah, once it started coming down things got pretty nasty.

No, the ride is twice per year.

I think the axle was basically almost all the way forward, and with the chain caught like that, there wasn't enough slack to get it around the rear sprocket.

For sure, we couldn't have done it without you.

Yeah, that place holds on to water, this was the first time I've ridden it in the dry. I definitely plan to be there in the spring!

Sure was! In the spring Wave Rock is the last trail, so that's always fun too.

It was slick clay, but at Wolf Slide (7 Springs).

You got that right! Action cameras always make us look lame, don't they?

@@alabamadirtrider24fps, 38mm camera zoom. You’re welcome

@oscarrameno6865 I used to record on 24fps, I like the look of 30 a little more. I leave the zoom on default since there are very limited options in the Action 4.

@@alabamadirtrider How many hours do you spend editing and downloading ? The 360 Go Pro is great but the editing time is time I could spend doing maintenance, or watching Alabamadirtrider videos.

@lamardurden8460 pulling the videos off of the SD card takes about 20 minutes, I probably spend 2-3 hours of editing for every 1 hour of video, just depends. Rendering and uploading take about 15 minutes each, so not too bad.

It's a whole different animal as soon as it rains. In the dry it's pretty easy, but when wet... oh boy.

Thanks! I was surprised I managed to do that.

We got caught in the rain Saturday afternoon during our second outing. I can only imagine how slick Sunday was.

Nice! Did you get to ride the trails too?

For sure. This fall ride felt like it was on easy mode since it was fairly dry. After it rained a little it got more slippery for sure.

Yes, it is. It seemed pretty well taken care of when we were there.

I often do, but sometimes forget 😜

Oh jeez, I'm sorry man. One of the main reasons I don't like going fast.

Thanks! This time it was easy mode since it didn't rain. But we went out a second time and it did rain, I'll have a video of that too.

He’s leaned up against the tree at the top. He was exhausted!

I think a lot of riders were over throttling on that hill. I try to minimized wheel spin at all times, especially on slippery hills.

I like the Beta 200 a lot. But I'm pretty proficient with my 300, you're just seeing my fails here.

@ just easier to maintain the weight on that hill, you’re not using the power of a 300 anyhow. Big names liek garmah Jarvis run a 150 quite often

I was there in that mud too, it was pretty bad. This year we completed all the trails before 1pm, so before the rain really came down, and it was much easier. We did go out a second time in the rain, that video is coming too. I appreciate you watching!

@@alabamadirtrider We need to get our group together with your group. We normally ride Talladega Forest, or Minooka but my friends are from Bham and have some local trails. We have ridden Cedar Town, the Ridge or NATRA. We had a good trip to WV to ride the Buffalo Mtn part of the Hatfield McCoy trails. I am also looking for someone to travel to Silverton, CO. this summer to ride the mountain passes. I went 2 years ago and have to go back. Videos are on my page.

Yeah, I try to keep my feet on the pegs, but sometimes I screw up like this anyway.

Haha, true, practice makes better! I'm usually decent, but you're getting to see my mistakes.

Wet wood is slippery in general, it just gets slimy, and a lot of dirt bike tires aren't sticky enough to not slide off.

I think that's his favorite hobby

Is he supposed to drop his bike and run top speed to tell him not to?

It was nice to meet you. Where did you go down? We finished all the trails by about 1pm, before the rain hit, so it wasn't too bad. But we did go out a second time and got absolutely soaked, got back to the car at 4pm.

@ you also Adam. I went down on the main loop in one of the super muddy areas lol. I whisky throttled and everything 🤦🏻

@JUGGA_NUTT we had to do most of the main loop during our second outing, in the pouring rain, it was nasty. I can see how you could wipe out hard on it.
