gasgas riders on kauai

I rode an XR250 on Oahu (yes, poaching). Nasty, sweaty, technical, fantastic! jungle stuff. I sure was wishing that I was on my GG. :o
Those pig wallows sure are nasty. You don't want to go down in one (I did.).
 
Good stuff! I'm diggin' That slower, nasty lookin' technical stuff. Also looked like a heckuva workout! Great vid. I love that 2-stroke crackle!

Some of that looked tough in the dry - would be killer after rain! :eek:

You're done, even after a quick shower. That red clay is like ice when wet.
I was wishing I had my Trelleborg winter spikes on.

Here's one of the trails I rode. It's called the Chocho trail. I can't post why it's called that because of it being "politically incorrect" but it has to do with there being a lot of face slappers.

I rode a DRZ on Kauai with a guide, just the two of us so we hit some tuff stuff and went at a good pace. All day from the beach to the rim of the canyon and back. It was wild. Initially I was bummed having to ride a pig of a DRZ but it actually worked pretty well being soft on power and the weight made it feel planted. The "Hawaiian Ice" is hard to walk on much less ride on. I'd love to go back there.

Didn't know about the face slapper reason..sounds good to me but you know there are lots of weird trail names.
I don't know why it's named that either. I've got to ask around. My Dad would know. You do remember the trail because of it though. Actually this vid is of me riding my cr. When did you ride here? Did you ride with the hangonriders? They had a camp just above this area. I still ride it occasionally as this is close to my house. I started riding trail here with my Dad when I was around 10 .. now the trees are way taller (and I'm a lot older) but there still are those same rocks and roots that you will always remember riding.. and yes it's been raining so the trails are like riding on grease in a bunch of sections. Certain sections are just plain unmakeable. yea some trelleborgs with studs would work in those sections. Here is the hangonriders site. Some Hawaii guys left and moved to the Pacific northwest so now the hangonriders have expanded. Check out their site and maybe you'll see more of what you rode as there are pics back to the 80's and vids too.

I rode there with my Brother-In-Law and a few of his buddies 6 or 7 years ago. He's a member of Chance-Um trail riders.

Cool.. I never heard of that group but you know how it is. You usually know guys by their bike or helmet or truck etc.. I'm riding this area while I can as it looks like a development will be going in close to here and it will be the end of it.. but that's like a bunch of riding area has gone. I'll ride it and document a little of it with my gopro. Here's my youtube channel if you want to see more Oahu, Hawaii stuff. I'm sure you'll see more as there's a bunch that continue from chocho's valley and continued in that same general area. I try to get as much trail stuff as possible. That's the greatest stuff in the world... Offroad motorcycle riding.. and I try to get stuff from all over the world to watch in one place.. When I get my gasgas 300 01' set up right I'll have more gasgas stuff. That's more relative to this site.

Here's another vid that isn't very good but it is on my 01' 300 gasgas. This is in central Oahu.
I've since put a new yz kicker since this one was kind of screwed up.... Sorry if the pidgen english is kind a thick. I don't realize how I sound till I just watched this one. I guess I'll speak a little clearer depending.
