Great stuff!

I went to School Creek and rode this weekend. No one else was there and I wasn't feeling it so I packed up and went to Randolph. The place was packed with rockcrawlers for a big event. It was fun just riding around checking out what was happenin'. It's definitely a different place to ride.

Didn't watch the whole video, but sounded like the KTM is running well, did you have to do anything to it after that one ride at Oakland?

I installed a 280cc big bore kit in her. She's a ripper now!

So I got 10 acres of mostly woods at my house and I have been cutting trails mainly for me and my little girl taking our dog Fritz for walks. Finally today decided to take the 300 into them. Here is some video of my first run today. It is exactly one mile and I ran it both ways. Might even be a little to tight in spots.

What a great little spot just out your back door!

Here is the pics & videos from Pomona/Melvern area. Video is of me riding on top of the old nuke missile silo and a down into closed road & old pond area. The guy I went with from advrider was just like me "I bet we can get thru that". We only had to turn around a few times, usually fences. Long day, alot of miles, heck of alot of fun.

Since the weather was looking beautiful I invited a few friends for a little impromptu trail ride. I was going riding no matter what as it was my birthday and it landed on the weekend. Ended up 8 of us showed up for a few hours of riding on a sunny 50 degree November day, perfectly tacky dirt trails, riding with other like-minded guys, and we topped off with a homemade piece of pumpkin pie!

Here's some footage from the day.

It was too nice yesterday to not take the 300 out at least for a little while

Looks like a fun loop with a mix of wide open, some creek beds, woods, and horse dodging to get your attention.

It is indeed a lot of fun, seems like it is more technical than what the video convey, or I may just be that out of shape

Didn't know you were riding a two stroke Luc.

The 2 stroke for the woods and the 4 stoke for the dunes

We had an awesome ride at School Creek today! My son and I and Luc did a lap on the east side. After that he was ready to strip off his gear and go hike around with mom and sister and play by the lake. We all had a great time! Luc met a nice guy on a KTM 200 before we arrived. So after my son was done riding we met up with him and did some more riding.
Reflecting back on the day, there's one thing I found interesting. I think there were more 2 strokes out there than there were 4 strokes. I'm a 4 stroke guy anymore but I really like riding with 2 strokes because of the sound and smell.
It was an awesome day to be outdoors!

Great photo, savage! Hard to believe we are being blessed with such great riding weather in KS during Feb!

This was a great day of riding! Somebody has spent a significant amount of time opening new trails or reopening trails! It was a very good time hanging out with Quinton's family and making new friends!

Luc it looks like you flattened out your entire place. One of your very technical climbs looks like a little dry stream crossing.
I don't know if its your camera or the settings? Does it have adjustable settings?

Seems to me action camera videoes do just that - flattens out elevation changes. Figured it was just me seeing it.

Some video from Saturday, Perfect conditions this time of year. I'll get another video up that shows some better views

Awesome elevation changes! Looks like you need one of those offroad mowers to go through the property to give you a nice trail to follow.
