Any plan of going across the stream and into the single track area of the woods

After beans we shan’t be crossing any streams. Hahaha.
We kept this one on the same side of the valley as the track - the creek crossings are a big gamble and we didn’t want to take that risk this weekend. We are planning to come back to Grears next and tap into the trail on the other side.

I'm okay with that lol. I have explored the other side of the creek on the pitter and there is some nice single track over there. But yeah I like no creek crossing.

Meister just do it. You’ll like it.
Jack your promoting this right. Super excited to try one soon.
My schedule just didn’t let it happen this year. Wish I could hit this one but I’m in South Korea. They don’t race dirtbikes in this country. Or sell any cool accessories like hats or stickers or anything.

Give it a try.
My kid never rode in the woods before beside taking the pitter in to grears trails. He absolutely loved racing merp gp.

We had the barn on the schedule but our sign up ladies formed a union and shot us down. Sign up is in that barn and they were concerned with noise - don’t blame them. We need them a lot more than they need us so we obliged. Lol
The off-road guys are eating us up on Facebook for being too wide. Meister you’re an excellent rider give yourself some credit - the trees ain’t bad. Rip off the bandaid let’s do it!

We mowed the whole trail with a 2WD drive Steiner - got the Steiner stuck - drove a 2500 Chevy on the trail to pull the Steiner out. They are pretty wide this round.

Being a gp and trying to attract the MX crowd, they have to be wide. Keep up the good work and don't cave! Lol

When are you and Austin heading down? Logan and I are going to make a weekend of it and camp and do practice on Saturday.

Sunday am, trying to keep as non moto as possible. Been running ragged this year.
At least 10 ft was the GP standard.

Was really hoping we’d be on the Far East side of the trails. Fun single track in there with nice quick elevation changes and the best part, the creek crossing, right up a nice steep hill, and boom onto the turn track. Either way this looks really fun, and super fast, wish it were tighter in some areas

Yeah the creek crossing and that hill climb really scared us off. I think we burnt some bridges with riders at beans with our creek crossing - which started out about 18 inches wide little stream and ended up being triple clamp deep in some spots.
Next year we plan to tap into those trails with a bridge but this year we absolutely went with the safe play to keep everything on the same side of the creek as the track.
