I got suckered in on one ride because I mistakenly followed a goat trail. Not trying to be funny. There are quite a few "Big Horns" that leave trails behind around here that look like old offroad trails. There are some signs after awhile that tell you that you are on a goat trail...like no black tire marks on the rocks for one. By the time you realize that you've screwed up it's too late! You're committed with no way to turn around or get back up the mountain. It turns into a survival game! When you are on top of a ridge line looking down 2 or 3 thousand feet and you see a canyon wash below you don't realize how bad it can get getting down to it until you've made that mistake once or twice. The top of the mountains are less rocky when you start out and this also fools some riders. The bigger rocks and drop-offs are usually mid way or at the bottom of the mountains because of gravity pulling rocks and debris downward making it harder and harder as you progress. The guys in the video are part of the Motorcycle Racing Association of Nevada (MRAN), "Wild Bunch" M/C and "Jackrabbits" M/C, they're a tough bunch!
As to the poster that said he likes more than 1st and 2nd gear rides... come on out to Nevada! We can go fast and catch some air here too; bring your gear, it's mostly rock!
