A little Story: My First Off-Road Adventure (not what I expected)
#31
Plus riding in a pit can be a bucket load of fun all on its own.

Yep, I need to find some sand to practice in and get my confidence up. I think firs though, I need to get my bike setup better. New front tire and a 48t rear sprocket seems like the first things I should install.
OK, so I'm assuming its the more expensive Pirelli Scorpion Pro F.I.M. with all the good reviews? That's not the one you got?
Be careful on selecting that Scorpion. I saw 2 or 3 different Scorpions, all of them DOT. The one I got ripped off every other side **** in about 1000 miles. This was the front tire. I tried this tire due to good reviews. Just make sure you get the one that everyone is having success with.

zippets, a quality tire should not rip off side ***** easily just because they're sharp.

No. I just usually ride with friends or alone. I'm not really at a satisfactory competence level with my offroad riding to ride with strangers.

Very cool video, and dayam, those are some tight, technical, sandy trails. I'm not sure but it seems like you were in first gear for a good part of it, and ya got a little squirrely there a few times. With all those trees inches away, I think you really need to have confidence in your riding skills to ride those kind of trails. Thanks for sharing.
By the way, if that was a GLDS ride, where were the rest of the club riders? I only seen you and one other bike in the video. Did you Venture off on your own?
