I got bored and made a video of some of the more lazy riding I did at Buffalo Mountain within the Hatfield-McCoy Trail System near me. Sorry about the sound from the camera, but for some reason my GoPro, though waterproof, will allow a horrid wind sound in, thus making the listener think the bike is running like hell. Trust me, the bike is running tiptop. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy it.

Nice vid bleed. I visited the H/M trails back in 2005 and had a great time. I'd love to go back down one of these days.

jake_p_3.

cool video.

PaulB14

thank you for sharing, I like those kinds of rides myself.

BleedMarshall

hairscrambledny: What system did you ride, or do you remember? I have only ridden Buffalo Mountain, and I might have ridden around 60-70 miles of the 102 it has. I love it there. It has just about everything I need to ride for fun or practice for the hare scrambles I plan to do in Fl. when I move back. I figure if I can ride fast here, I can ride fast almost anywhere. Hahaha!

jake_p_3: Thanks!

Paul: There is single track here you would love. Each is a true challenge.

hairscrambledny

Can't remember than actual trail names - we rode for miles and miles and days and days. I went as part of a Polaris Adventure Tour and we stayed at the Sycamore Inn. I bought a t-shirt that says "I survived the Hatfield-McCoy trails" and it says Matawan WV.

BleedMarshall

You rode Buffalo Mountain then as it is the one near/in Matewan. That is the system I ride, and where all that footage in the video came from really. A few clips are from a semi-private area called Big Shoal (the repeated wreck clip and street footage), but the rest are Buffalo Mountain. I believe it has the second hardest single track in the entire system of trails being Track 199. Track 199 in Rockhouse is a bit harder due to being traked on more ridgeline, but otherwise they are both insane. I am going to miss the system when I get back to Florida, but I am going to ride it as much as I can before I leave.

Nice vedio Bleed and love the song. I think we should have a east coast get together there. What ya say Hair?

jake_p_3.

i would like to go there sometime. all i have heard are good things about it.

hairscrambledny

I agree pop, but H/M is 12 hours door to door from NY which is a bit tough for me especially since I don't have the pickup anymore. A few years ago i looked into a place in PA that might have worked for us eastcoasters, but things kind of fell apart after that. :(

NZrider

Hey Bleed, sweet vid.

have you thought about falling on your right side instead of falling on the left all the time? or was that the same tip over showed 5 times?

pojp58

Maybe one day Hair.

BleedMarshall

Pop: Thanks for watchng! I tried to get a get together there this past April, but no one could make it save for my buddy from Florida and another buddy from Tennessee. We rode there the entire weekend and had a blast. We also ened up riding with some guys out of New York who were half crazy and great riders. We all hit a few single tracks and just had a great time. Here is a picture from that ride. My buddy from Tn. found a little mud puddle. Hahaha!

NZ: Thanks for watching as well! That was just a repeated clip. I thought it went well with those portions of the song (lyrics, besides the "Damn" you hear) and it was funny. That clip came from a small log hop. Small log = wreck. Larger log = No wreck and just stuck on the skid plate. *shrugs* Hahahaha!

pojp58

What about some kind of race to get a bunch together? You know a couple teams for an enduro or something like that?

BleedMarshall

I would love to do that. Where would we have it and would it be an enduro, hare scramble...??? I would imagine the use of a track would cost money, yes?

pojp58

I would say just enter a race that is around and then all involved would plan accordingly.

BleedMarshall

There are zero races around here where I am in Kentucky. None. The next race I plan to enter is in April of 2013 in Florida. A Vet "C" class hare scramble is what I plan to ride, and I hope I do not pull a DNF. Hahaha!

I have even asked about who could or would organize a race here, and there are no takers of any sort, though I have met several riders who would enjoy trying it out for fun or otherwise.

pojp58

Then we will just have to go to Montana and race with Paul.

BleedMarshall

Ok Pop. Just swing down to Ky. before feb./March and pick me up, since you have that awesome trailer and all, and we will go. Hahaha!

CRocky125

Great, works for me. Montana is right below me

MJP68

Nice vid Ryan, guess the music drowned out all the crying in the crash scene! lol

Step up east coasters! dont think anything has happened out east since ML and Chud met at Brokeback Mtn

BleedMarshall

I did not cry at all. I cussed a great deal though. Like I said, I hit a log with well over a foot in diameter, no wreck. I hit a fallen tree less than six inches in diameter, and down I go. Go figure. Hahaha! Thanks for watching Ploof. What have you been up to as of late? No info on the River Roach has been given. Have you bought more firearms for the Zombie Apocolypse?

I ried to get something going for hatfield-McCoy, but I was not popular enough I guess. Hahaha!

MJP68

Pretty sure I heard an "OH MAMMA" as you were going down, no worries though.

My job is killing me, but the kids still want to eat once a day.. Added a bit to the collection, but have focused more on

refining/moding them and stocking up on ammo..

Trust me, Popularity is way over rated. Life is busy and some are just to scared to leave the computer.

BleedMarshall

There was something said about a mother, but it was not that. Hahaha!

Hey, at least you are working. I got laid off in July and cannot buy a job here, so I can't say much about not being on the comp. for too long. Just ask Kiwi. Hahaha!

MJP68

LOL, coulda swore it was crying..

You're right I shouldn't bitch. Thought you were locked into a plush office job?

Nick mentioned something.. was it on facebucket or Twitter?

Kiwi450x

The phrase, "squealing like a stuck pig" comes to mind... LOL!!

MJP68

Nick I think you have watched "Deliverance" to many times

Kiwi450x

To be perfectly honest, I've never watched it, but I can picture Bleed squealing when the Katoom bites him back...

MJP68

google it.. no joke

pretty sure Hackey was making the same noise

Kiwi450x

I don't doubt it...

MJP68

HMMMMM... I know an audio specialist, maybe he can filter out the music

Too bad he's to lazy to reset his password..

BleedMarshall

No squeling, and Kiwi can say he has never watched "Deliverance" all he wants. Anyone who wears short-shorts like Kiwi is asking for a "ride down a Georgia river" if you ask me. I would not be surprised if Kiwi doesn't have a few pairs of French biker shorts too.

Sadly, I should edit to actual video that clip comes from to show that wreck so you can see the skimpy little tree that caused the wreck. It is sad that I wrecked due to it. I think I slipped the clutch too much to be honest and the bike got away from me. It happens when you get over confident looking at a little tree. Hahahaha!

yz250f4ever

hahah for some reason it feels like DR came back to life a little bit. :)

pojp58

We could meet along the highway somewhere and pick up anyone else along the way. I wonder if Paul knows anything about this.LOL

PaulB14

still lurking about

I'm in the process of filling out a sponsorship application for a new bike with the local KTM dealership. If the new bike is a go, then I'll be racing the Montana XC series again this year for sure! The 1st one is in April which is coming up real quick.

In the meantime, there is room in the truck for you Crocky125, so get your bike and self down here for the Cal City trip in March...

Mjppet it's always good to read your snjppets.

BleedMarshall

Good deal on the sponsorship Paul. Keep us posted on that. Any idea what you will be getting?

pojp58

That would be fantastic Paul. Pics for sure.
