I'm pretty surprised I was the only one on this trail on a Saturday. :)
Anyways, this was my son's first run through it. I think he liked it. I didn't attempt the waterfall, I'm just not that eager to get stuck or break when nobody is around.

It fast forwards through the normal stuff.

That looks like a ton of fun. Would it be possible on a dirt bike?

'The book' doesn't show BFE trails, and the BFE website does not have an accurate map for hellderodo. is it hard to locate from the main BFE parking area?

Not the easiest trail to find, but not terrible either. A smart guy that I know;) made an AreaBFE trail map app that can get you there. Although, I can't imagine it would be much fun on a dirt bike - it's a short trail, and doesn't look to me like it'd be much fun on 2 wheels (this of course coming from someone who doesn't ride dirt bikes...)

If it was the fifth then it was probably because everyone thought the dirt riot races would have everything closed. What time were you there? I still need to wheel there someday.

I got there about 5:30 knowing that the race was supposed to be done around 5:00... obviously it ended earlier than that. :(

It's very much worth the trip!

Nice job. I think with the length of my rig I'd have to take the right hand side of the break over.

Awesome solo run! Your kid was cracking me up while you were on Rock Pile and he kept telling you to "try the other trail, dad" haha

I'm at 114" and pretty low. I just finangled through it. :D That other side is a lot more open than it used to be, or maybe it was just a little filled in. I wanted to try it but I never have gone that route and didn't know the proper line.

:cool:

I think I recognized your rigs at the top parking lot at AreaBFE. I would have stopped by but it seemed like nobody was there at the time (except for the two rigs)
