Angeles National Forest/Big Bear Ride

Yep, right there.


Here we are on the other side of Hesperia headed up to Big Bear. Notice the thunderstorm brewing on the left. The Hero camera doesn't have the resolution to pick up the lightning that was happening, but it was very cool.

TB: thx for sharing. I'm assuming you're OK. But that biff had me rolling. It looks like you're just rolling along and hit a "gravity storm" and went down. I'd be lying if i said nothing like that every happened to me.....

good you didn't get hurt tim, cuz that vid is way too funny....

reenacting the incident in a kung fu style....



the pressure suit literally saved tim's skin......:eek1

We start getting closer to Big Bear and we finally get some cloud cover and it cools off, not to mention the trees show up.



Note to self: Some trees are troublemakers and will hit you in the head while riding.

It's not the dust that gets you, unfortunately, it's the half-submerged rocks. It doesn't show up on the video, but there was a 12" X 8" protrusion that you hit right before you lost it. Cool video though, I wish I had a video of that time that I t-boned a car-Superman!!!

That it did. I have a little scrape and a cool little bruise pattern on my arm.


I figure if Nowhat can hit a bus wearing one of these and walk away without a scratch, I should be wearing one too. So far, it has more than paid for itself.

funny the patterns you can get in bruises.....

I think he made the mistake when he past sopacat. She was putting pressure on him to get the lead back. You did not get injured right? Ben

Good seeing familiar faces and meeting some new mates. I managed to truck my bike 220 miles without incident. Great pics and video, more please!

It looks like it gave you a purple nerple too. I will be investing in a pressure suit when I return to riding. Ben

Ben - other than the little scrape and bruise, I didn't get injured further.
