Me riding my 1985 Honda 350x ATC up Divide Peak Trail in the Los Padres National Forrest here in Santa Barbara CA. The ride is about 30 miles total and it's a ton of fun, lots of cliffs, hillclimbs, etc. The ride started with a light drizzle and ended up raining and being extremely foggy due to us basically riding through the rain cloud. A great ride, but due to the wreck early in the ride I took it easy this time just to make sure I don't make a bigger mistake.

I actually crashed in the end of the video and it was 100% my fault and NOT the vehicle's fault.

The crash is at the end, so if that's all you want to see just skip to the end haha. This really made me realize how badly I need crappy rider fenders cause my original fenders were all that I thought about as I crashed haha.

Great vid man . Minus the crash and all but that kind of stuff is to be expected once and a while. How do you like the 6 pack rack? I'm seriously considering one for my x for the longer rides out in the woods.

Good vid, as usual (except for the scratched up fenders part).

I took the turn too wide and the rear tire dropped off causing me to tip. Just a stupid mistake.

Its always the simple stuff that gets ya. Looks like you know how to ride pretty good. Better the bush then rolling down the hill to the left. Makes me want a helmet cam now. (and maier fenders on my 350x, its all oem and it scares me)

Thanks for the comments guys, there are a lot of burms on that trail and I always ride them but that one I just took too wide, the rear tire dropped off and I flipped. It really wasn't bad at all and could have been much worse if it were somewhere else. I don't think the video itself really shows my riding, but if you watch my other videos you can see me ride faster/better.

Thanks to devilman I'll have a set of rider fenders soon! So I won't have to worry about my originals anymore.

No that is a designated offroad area! The dirtbikers hate atv's so the block it off for dirtbikes only.
