Dirt riding at old strip mine

subxero · September 7th, 2014, 06:57 AM

So this weekend i passed on going to the trail system down the road and opted to check out an old place used to ride when i was a younger buck.

Back in the day dirt bike riding and quads where much more abundant and this place was fairly popular and always had some fun trails/lines. The slate dump piles are about as good as riding surface you can hope for in this part of PA, just watch out for stray baseball/softball sized rocks in the turns and straights and you are good to go.

Just scooted around for a little bit exploring, played a bit. Will probably go back again soon and map out a little track and get some ruts dug in and some bigger jumps set up, will be like my own little play ground :dance cool:

Vid is long, nothing i consider uber exciting, had to be a little cautious, it pays off

. basically a tour type video of the rock dump.

I can't watch to much of the video, it makes me nauseous

My door is always open, bring that 125 ring dinger and whatever else you got and fun times will be had.

There is another smaller strip mine i ride that is decent fun but more so for hill climbs. I plan on getting some vid of that place in fall after some of the weeds die.

lots of great riding up this way.
