YouTube - Riding out in Gliddens

i have, last weekend, at the same place.
i live across the road from that pit. out the driveway, down the road about 500ft, in the trail.

blew out my rear shock at that same spot on sat. looks nothing like that now.
its an active sand pit and the hills change constantly.

in the 80's and 90's, there was a hill called Big Bertha, had to be 90-100 foot to the top.

on the way up, the ruts would turn, and there would be those vert jumps, sometimes 2 or more.

only the sickest guys on the sickest bikes could do it. trikes were the big thing then. i had a tri z that barely made it, and hurt me a couple of times.

that hill is long gone, but some good memories of it.

i just found a vhs tape of a lot of old riding videos, and i have footage of bertha.

im trying to figure out how to convert it to digital so i can make some utubes from it.

any ideas?

o, yea, and vert jumps are fun as sh*t! its total defiance of gravity. just should not work, but it does!

o, one more thing, thumpers rule! i'll take my raptor any day over brians blaster. the blaster is fun as sh*t,

but not as much fun as my 660r.

god bless him for the ability to come home, and xkronik13x might know how to do the conversion. he is very good with computers

thank you for that. he's back there now, for another 2 months at least.
he's up for re enlistment in january. says he's stayin. he likes the action.
if he comes out he'll either go CIA or whatever Blackwater is calling themselves this week.

i check with kronik. i'd like to get it done, the tape is starting to degrade.
i got some good crash vids on there and a couple of when i was running the banshee in the 1/4 miles
 
I have hit a few step ups at the top of a hill climb before and they scared the sh*t out of me. As said earlier it is a totally different feeling, but that first jump on the video was sick.
