Shane Watts Roosting the Skinny Ridge Trail

Post by shanewatts »

G'day Everyone,

Here's a fun, short helmet cam video from the sketchy Skinny Ridge trail in Colorado while we were filming for our new DirtWise Instructional DVDs. As usual the camera doesn't do justice to the severity, but if you think it's a worthy view please forward it on to your riding mates for them to see. Volume 3 (How to master Wheelies, Logs, Rocks, and River crossings) and Volume 4 (How to master Hills, Gullies, Ravines, and Offcamber trails) of our DirtWise Advanced Instructional DVD series will go on sale at http://www.shanewatts.com on October 20, 2012. Keep on roosting!



Cheers,

Shane Watts

This trail looks like it is the Montrose Colorado area (just south of Grand Junction). Something for you who like to go to Moab to go check out.

Riding these ridges the first time is really freaky.
