Looks like the modded TTR, but I know that bike doesn't see mud, so must be TBS

Bingo!I'm sub'ed to his Youtube account and got this in an email.
Speaking of "pussies". Looks like his buddies made it no problem
Mud like that sucks!
I have to concure with Rack. I dont particularly care to ride in the mud for a variety of reasons. That video demonstrated one of those reasons. The other reason is the clean up at the end of the ride. I dont mind if my bike is a little dirty or dusty. But muddy thats a whole different story
.
.damn, that's what I ride all the time, you sand knee grows need to come out east sometime
Living in So Cal we dont ride much mud, it least I dont, I eat it instead
It makes me think of a few different times where I couldnt even stay standing up because my feet were sliding away from the bike dumped at an angle
Gritty mud, spackle mud, slippery mud, it's all work and some play. Once when I was racing (Race Around the Lake, 08) a flagger put his flag down and helped me because the mud was sooo slippery every time I tried to lift my bike up off the ground it would just slide away from me and that was on flat ground! In some ways I wish I rode mud more frequently to have better skills, but then again it isnt that often I encounter it.
It's all about momentum and throttle finesse!

Have been in that position once and vowed ever again. Mud sucks.
You're sounding a lot like me...sand sucks, mud sucks.............swtichbacks suck, whoop dee doos suck!
As for the "character" in the vid...because I don't have sound, I don't know if he's chatting but watching the vid when he's standing there looking at the bike..."get up you damn thing, I SAID GET UP...still nothing, soon an unknown rider emerges from the hill and offers assistance...here, let me help you with that, there you go now GO THAT WAY!" The end!
