I see them all the time at our local OHV in Bridgeport TX. Never on the actual trails though. They congregate in packs of 10 or more and drive around the roads and park in big long formations to talk.
I'll have to scroll back to the girls in bikinis and see if theres a rolled over truck somewhere
The one time I've seen them on trails there was also about a dozen of them in a group. Maybe they just travel in packs? I was just in a misfit group with a Rzr, CJ-5, and my TJ.
We watched a herd of the old ones poorly go up Chewy hill on Pritchett.
This guy was with them
I apologize for my ignorance... I have my flame suit on, but go easy on me.
The gatekeeper.. would be the first obstacle on any given trail? The one you have to get past or the rest is no-go?
And, how can a rock chute in the heart of Moab be 'closed' and why? I can understand if it is on private land, but aren't most of these gorgeous routes on public land?
Oh.. and side note. My wife is pissed she is still digging mud out of her ears... That didn't go as planned.
Not necessarily the first obstacle, but yeah from my understanding it basically is intended to prevent underbuilt rigs and inexperienced drivers from attempting the full trail. If you can't do the gatekeeper, you're gonna be f---ed on the rest of the trail without good bypasses.
Bobo answered the gatekeeper question.
The trails in Moab are designated trails so you can’t drive wherever you want you have to stay on the trail. If whoever manages the trails says it’s closed, it’s closed.
Sand hollow on the other hand is pretty much a free for all and you can drive wherever you want.
Thank you both.
So the gatekeeper is to weed out the weak so to speak. Makes sense.
I’m a back country backpacker. Trails are often little more than a suggestion and even if something is ‘closed’ it really isn’t. You just walk around it.
Trust me as a MTB trailbuilder I definitely know what you mean. It's a little trickier with offroading because if BLM or the FS catches you on a closed trail they actually have law enforcement power. Most I can do on a hiking or biking trail is stack some rocks or put up a sign. And this is coming from a guy who has poached a whole lot of questionably legal trails on my bike.
Wow.. that was about as lucky as you can get.
The commentary every time lol.
I remember being really anxious noone was up there spotting me and then it, like didn't get difficult?
That first video he starts rolling I just yelled out... "omg nooo what are you dooooiiiing"
