It’s up at Figueroa mountain. No vehicles allowed but bikes are so per California law we are too. It’s pretty rare to see anyone else back there.

Hope I’m linking this right. We were out there last January for a different event and brought our mountain boards. If anyone is looking for some fun desert riding there’s some power line access roads out towards Valley of Fire and hoover dam. Red Rocks is a bust, way too rocky. We couldn’t explore the access roads as much as wanted because my brother fractured a rib at Red rocks but looked like it went for as long as a battery would take you and a lot of little banked hills and turns. Slippery hard packed desert dirt. Hope to see you guys at the next one.

Be careful with this. Many decades ago I made a 15kV one and let me tell you, I got shocked in my feet through dry concrete, which I thought was an insulator … Probably was very close to a deadly mistake. And make sure you wear shoes.

Riding super epic trails in Arkansas…

I took the Almost a Flux for mountain boarding stuff.

And took the Flux expecting to keep it to the streets and the paved trails.

And since the Flux can do it all I got frisky on some off road stuff and probably hit a big rock…

Look at these trails…

This one was sort of paved… But had some big rocks…
This May have been the coolest spot I have ever ridden…

Look at the type of stuff I rode on the mountain board…

Chain locked up on one side going down the humps lmao. Didn’t notice until I tried to brake. Had to move the chain back and forth a bit to crush whatever was jamming it up

ā€œ let him unload it off the trailer, he has to learn ā€œ
I objected, and was over ruled. Getting a steel track hoe off a steel deck trailer, is like ice.
I did manage not to point and laugh

That was Psychotiller’s old line of work, he totally would’ve pointed and laughed.

Here’s the thing it gets better. Can you look at the picture? He flipped it on the side that’s opposite where we get in and out and I’m doing so he punctured some hard lines and it missed it hydraulic oil all over the cab so he wasn’t hurt when he had the accident, but he did get hurt falling out of the cab, even though we told him to wait for a ladder

So no because of him tomorrow we get to have a safety stand down. I’ll have to wear two condoms at all times. I’ll have to find a way to get a condom around the excavator two around the bucket and run everyone over run around hysterically screaming Safety .

Extended stay in Vegas. Not by choice. I’ve been super nauseous. The doc thinks I let myself get to dehydrated. I’m not a partier. No drinking. This was a real surprise.

Glad it was nothing super serious.

The dessert was brutal. I think I spent almost $20 at the concession start just buying $1 beverages.

Dude i could not handle the vegas weather, my lips were cracked on day 1, and I felt dehydrated no matter how much water I drank. Whenever I had my mouth slightly open when racing it felt like eating sand :grin:

It really is brutally dry here. I used to live in Denver. It’s dry there but nothing like Vegas. I went through an entire tube of chapstick last weekend.
