Eric McKenna, my dad and I head up to Idaho earlier this month.

Eric and I took off on a loop on day 1. When we got back to camp, Brad McNew arrived.

Eric should have a story up on mx43.com on the 33 blog soon?

We had a great trip.

Dave, your videos are always the best! Very well produced! I plug my 'puter into the big TV so I get better sound and sight!

Awesome that your dad still rides. My own dad doesn't ride, but I put him on my Polaris 500 and made him ride with me! I'm sure he had a great time! He's 80!

Great videos! Me Lika! :thumb:

That is great stuff. My dad is gone but he and I used to ride together all the time in the desert and Kennedy Meadows to name a couple. He rode up to his late 70's until his health stopped him. That is beautiful country up there. :thumb: I miss those days.

Eric McKenna rides back alone after breaking off his chain guide mounts. He removed the chain guide and headed back to the truck. Brad and I left him and kept riding.

Brad and I head down the Mtn. to see if Eric made it back?

Eric heads to town to get his swingarm welded. Brad and I take off for a 109 mile loop...

About 90 miles and working our way back to camp.

Jonathan drove up from Salt Lake City to join us on day 5 & 6. I follow Jonathan on fun single track trail...

We work our way down...

Left hand is numb from the long descent and carpal tunnel...perhaps six days of riding...

I follow former AMA 500 National MX Champion, Chuck Sun. Chuck put a 19" Trials tire on the CRF450R the next day and the bike hooked up much better.

We continue down this technical trail with Brad McNew right behind me.
