Amazing video, thanks for posting. I usually ride around Vancouver Canada but want to venture out. Do you ride in Northwestern Washington? Where is good?
Yeah typically NW Washington & Central WA. Walker Valley is the only legit spot other than a forest service trail near the border. Both are great spots, but sounds like what you have at vedder, van isle, and mcnutt are better options. Looking forward to trying out those places soon.
Your camera is awesome. What is it? Its hard to pick up the mountains in the distance like that sometimes. That trail looked sketchy when you passed that other group.
Now I know where the 2 Beta boys were stuck and why they took so long! 😂 I sat at the top of the hill climb and waited for a good 20 minutes before they showed up at the bottom! Great times that day and another great video!
God last time I was out there nothing but downed trees. We must have cut 10 trees out of there in a mile and a half. Probably my fault for going a little early in the season. 😂
I’m certainly looking for this spot. Sucks that blowing spots up like this result in so much damage and trash. Totally understand not publicly posting. I’m over on the Olympic peninsula and we don’t share anything either, for the same reasons. Looks like a great time though!
Other than one of the last climbs out there is nothing really that hard on this trail. I never understood it's reputation. Now ride it in reverse, that's gnarly.
There’s always that one guy who says “that’s not hard I could ride that in my sleep on a trail 90”. Whatever bro. It’s not a trail I’d take beginners or even some intermediate riders on. It’s remote, and has multiple spots where someone can go downhill into a valley with difficult climbs out in either direction. People have been stranded there before.
@WASemiHardEnduro Greg is correct. Guys have been riding that for many years and most definitely not "experts", just NW weekend warriors. I rode it on my KTM 525 somewhere around 2010ish. But, if you're trying really hard to be important on TH-cam, then using "expert" is a key part of the equation. Meanwhile, old fat guys were up there last weekend on KTM and Husky 500's
Agree It's been ridden by tons of out-of-shape middle aged NW weekend warriors for years. An "expert" would think this is a fairly easy trail. But, using "expert" and "hard Enduro" for traditional NW riding doesn't get you the clicks, views and subs
@firffighter What rating would you give this trail then? From green circle to double black diamond? Then, what other legit USFS trails in WA would you say are harder? Hint: There aren't many... I love it when people let their egos do the talking. If it makes you feel better by saying "nah, that's not HARD an old fat guy could do it", then more power to ya!

You guys are studs - solid riding. Thanks for posting
What a beautiful playground you have. Great riding, enjoyed watching.
Nice riding! You're always so good at finding traction in the gnar!
Thanks man, looking forward to riding w you again!
Looks amazing !
Great video. I’m heading up to Washington soon to ride. Love it up there. Just beautiful
Nice work! That's a tough trail. Last time I rode it I got vertigo in that open meadow bench cut section right at the beginning. That suuuucked!
I can see that - it’s wide open and quite a drop down that hillside!
I can see why its a fave...pretty amazing trail!

Haha yeah they got slowed down by the trench. Good stuff!

Nice riding! What trail is that?

@@WASemiHardEnduro This was good for a laugh! Greg's video commentors are rubbing off on him...
