Default Quick GoPro video - flooded trails...

Had a lot of rain the past couple weeks. All the rivers are overflowing. This one is right downriver from a dam that was open full blast.

One section of trails was under a couple feet of water. Made it interesting!

Watch in 720p - looks much better! And if at work, turn sound down. I get a little excited and yell random slurs sometimes.

Little bit of flood action. - YouTube

Dan, CL...that can't be too good on the bike. Boy, we'd like a little bit of that water down here in Texas. Instead of drowning, you just choke on dust.

CL, great video thats what our summer looked like up here. Now we have nice weather and a s~ load of skeeters.

How about a picture of how you mounted the GoPro?

TNC, I have been watching the weather channel[retired ya know] and Texas is getting it in the knickers, dang. I have never been there, but every time it looks like some rain is heading your way then peters out?

Yeah, it's been nuts. Between no rain, record heat, and fires, it's been brutal. This past weekend out at our riding area, you can't ride behind anyone, because the dust volume is unbelieveable. Last year we had record level rains, and it didn't get to 100 degrees until August. What a change.

The bikes weren't clean too long.. The next spot was a mud bog! hahaa

It's OK if it's not good for the bike, as long as it's good for the rider

I have about 35 min of video from this day.. Trying to put something together now. I hate editing vid!!
