Have you ever had a moment of quick panic or adrenaline?  Do you remember looking back and having a conversation with yourself about how to handle the situation?  It's amazing what goes through our brains as we assess an intense situation.  The amount of information and decisions we make are impressive.  This is a scenario in which Brennan found himself as he sailed through the air on a 110ft track jump...

Picture the gnarliest slickrock trail...Now times that by.. 6! Just kidding, but seriously, the roughness of this trail is hard to describe.  Go look it up.  Pritchet Canyon, Moab, UT.
And to break a foot miles into this canyon is unimaginable to me... Get ready to squirm a bit in this tale about flexibility where there shouldn't be.

Campfire edition!  This episode Rob and I dive into what we've done to our pair of YZ 250X dirt bikes while sitting by the campfire enjoying the desert.

Some absolutely amazing terrain, scenery and good company a couple weeks ago as I rode the Hole in the Rock Road in Southern Utah.  Check out the video link below to see some of what the Mormon pioneers traversed in wagons back in 1860.
This was a super fun trail I would recommend to any off road enthusiast. Be warned, it is quite rough...

This episode will list all the issues and problems found on the old 1992 WR250.  Also, Rob and I ride up the canyon in the rain and some neighborhood boys (14yrs old) decide to come along and test their skills.  They got a little more than they bargained for and basically pushed as much as they rode.  But determination got them to the top!

Sam joins me again to talk about how we have progressed with our riding, what we want to learn, and some fun stories thrown in.

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear jerseys and boots and ride super rad dirt bikes... Cameron is one of those.  He is a Captain at his fire department as well as a paramedic who has helped many people when they needed it most.  He is definitely the guy you hope is around when you get banged up.
