Black Diamond++ Trail Today!

[RockYoda]

You guys did White Mountain in Big Bear? That is a good trail. I really don't like to do it in my yoda, a bit too steep in loose rock. What other trails did you guys hit? Holcome(sp?) Creek and Deep Creek are some nice trails. Also if you really want a challenge try John Bull. As a matter of fact if you guys want to go again tomorrow let me know...

Albie....you candy-ass wimp, if you don't come on this run I swear to Hummer heaven that I'm gonna drag ya out myself and make you run this trail!!!!

Yeah...it was thursday and Buck & I are out in the mountains WORKING to bring you guys an awesome trail. Yeah...we work!

Both Jason & I have something in common; we've both built our own businesses and can finally escape now and then to have some fun. But rest assured when we return back to the office, we've got all sorts of baby-sitting issues to resolve.

It's like I tell my wife: somebody is going to have to get out there and sweat, labor and work hard to make us a living....and it sure as heck ain't gonna be me!!!

So Albie...what's your excuse for not making the event??????

This is a shot of Steve blazing his own trail. The clearing below is where I am pointed toward the valley to give you an idea of the severity of the incline. Much of the trail needed a vehicle with a good wheel base. We were quite confident after heading up some of our inclines that a smaller wheelbase vehicle would have flipped trying to maintain momentum while slamming rocks the size we were hitting. I am sure it can be done but would be a much different path/ride.

N2ITNSD,

To answer your question is NO! It is not cool to wheel anywhere. I know that area well and they were on the designated(sp?) trail. I have worked with the San Bernardino National Forest OHV program and we try very hard to keep everybody on the right trails and not to blaze new ones. We try very hard to keep the few wheeling areas open and clean. Thanks Steve for Treading Lightly!!

Buckeye & Steve:

Nice pictures, but damn if you didn't go wheeling on a Thursday [your post is dated 9/11 and then references TODAY]! I'm getting sick and tired of you jokers posting pix of wheeling on a week day.

I'm stuck in an office and you guys are out stirring the dust; enjoying God's green earth? Isn't that just the sh*ts (for me)!


I'm just jealous as all heck, don't mind me.

Looks like tons of fun...Envy from those of us in flat states....

If that is White Mountain in Big Bear, yes that trail is very steep. I much rather go down than up. Out of all the trails that i have been on, White Mountain is the steepest and has the most loose rock. Well we will have to meet up one day and go wheeling,let me know...

RockYoda, I am sure Steve will respond to your question on the trails. He mapped all of them out and should know the names. I would love to go again but I must go to work tomorrow to catch up on what I missed today. We missed almost all of the good photos since there was only 2 of us. Steve would forge up the inclines, I would hold back so he couldn't spray me with rocks and then head up so I was always a little behind and quite frankly, didn't feel the need to hike this thing by foot. I'm in great shape but there was no air up there!
