Water Crossing vs. Dirt Bikes (2-1)

[@Achilleas7]

hahaha loved the editing man! Kudos to all of you for your courage! Attacked exactly as it should as scary as it seemed !! The fish are sometimes our reward! ;-) Proud for my bro Eric who has trained himself in harsh grounds :P 🐊🐬

[@EricGrieco]

Hahaha thanks bro… I just committed and hoped for the best 🎲🎲🤣

Since I was the u-boat commander in this instance I can say that this was a severe error in judgement! I should have known. I went through it last fall and it was b*lls deep and I was thankful to have made it. Funny how a few months goes by and you forget how bad it was...until you don't.

[@EricGrieco]

Yeah we won’t make that mistake again.. I’ve submarined my previous bike a couple times.. once was at an enduro ride and I missed a sign redirecting around what I thought was a puddle.. I ended up in water above the seat 🤦🏻‍♂️😄

Um that was just nuts I woulda turned around u got brass balls man that dude musta flooded his bike

[@EricGrieco]

The beauty of 2-strokes.. in this case we just wrung out the air filter and gave it a tow/bump start and it fired back up… we called it a day so he could play it safe and change out his gearbox oil… i’ve drowned my old 2008 250 exc twice.. each time wringing out the air filter, flipping the bike upside down and removing the spark plug, draining the carb float bowl, and it was back in business.. I even finished rides and changed the gearbox oil after.. that engine bottom end was pretty indestructible 😄

@@EricGrieco Owners of elder GGs or Reijus (get a couple of those) have an extra allen bolt at the bottom of their engine which if unscrewed, all the water leaves your cylinder/crank without the use of flipping. Tip of the day!

Good getting through Eric 👍.... but that section cost two bikes and the days ride 😒

[@EricGrieco]

Yeah I had some luck on my side.. at least we got a few laughs out of it and some good old dirtbike camaraderie 😊

[@Achilleas7]

i didn't see any alternatives really... someone knew that this was the only way through right? if there was an alternative to that lake, i guess it should be considered!

[@EricGrieco]

@@Achilleas7 we could have turned around and took a bypass but we didn’t think it was that deep because it hadn’t rained in a week and the other trails were pretty dry.. those darn beavers 🦫 and their dam building got us 😄 Lesson learned for that trail 😄

For once I wasn’t the one going for a swim 🤣

@@EricGrieco Trained well you have! Swam well you did! ...If an X-wing came out of that lake, or even Nessie, i wouldn't be surprised :P

[@EricGrieco]

@@Achilleas7 Very kind you are 😂 …the beavers did a good job making a dam there.. who knows what lurks underneath 😄

[@Achilleas7]

@@EricGrieco Yeah, makes perfect sense! That lake was artificial! (and scary!) Some of the most heroic moments begin with stupidity bruh! ;-) We don't turn back for no beaver!! 😂 good job sailing through! ⛵⛵⛵
