This is from May 30th of this year.

I profoundly apologize for the shaking of this video. I was trying out a new camera mount and it SUCKED! I didn't have the other mount with me to swap out. All of the popping and cracking you hear is not the machine. It is the camera mount.

With that said, the first part of the video makes me laugh every time I watch it. My wife is really afraid of heights. You'll see what I mean. The second part is some rocks. The third part a good example of the vertical capability of this machine. When we came back through I didn't realize that the battery on the GoPro died. I really thought the front end was going to drag at the bottom of the hill.

This was one of the first times out with it... before I really knew how to drive it... lol. It's done a lot more than this since then.

Just the bouncy camera made me cringe till I read it was the mount. I like your write ups and videos.

Rode there for the first time, about 2 weeks ago. Was that the climb about 1/2 way to the river? It had just snowed a couple inches the day before we rode. Luckily the hill was in the sun and it thawed out. Will definitely do that trail again in the spring.

If you mean the one that my wife was worried about, that's the one. I walked it before going over to make sure I knew what was on the other side. Once I saw what it was I laughed and told her to get in. She closed her eyes... lol. Doing that on ice would be interesting
