Cool video, thanks for posting and for all the timestamps. I have yet to tackle this trail although I have been to Brushy many times. Just haven't had to right group up for the challenge and/or timed it to where we weren't already exhausted by the time we got there. You've inspired me, I think next time out we will blast straight up the office connector and hit this first thing. The log crossing at 1:09:37 - check out Cross Training Enduro's video on Pivot Turn Log Hops. Handy skill for those angled off camber deals even if you can't do it nearly as cleanly as they do in the video ;)
It is an awesome trail! We've ridden it dozens of times since, and well, I'm a lot better now than I was then. I think the last time through, our riding time was under 1:30:00 hours (vs. 1:53:00 in this video), with WAY less brakes. It's not too bad. It's just long. It's one of my favorite trails there. The latter stages (6, 7, 8) are really really fun rides, if you can make it through the first 5. We still ride out there one or two times a month, so hit me up if you'd like to join up.
i was there last weekend. and i went on a "new enduro" trail....it was the MOST physically demanding thing ive ever done. i was on my wr426. the bike is HEAVY. and im 250 pounds.. i didn't think i would make it. Wrecked 3 times and endoed one of those. bent back both levers. pushed in my left radiator. Scrapped up my swingarm. Snapped off my compression release. it was so bad....but i LOVE IT up there. going back again this weekend lol. but going to try and bring my rm250 if my cylinder gets back this week
Very much so! I don't think you could get across them if they were wet, or if you were going slow like I was at that point. A week after this video was shot, I rode that section again, and I just hit them head on at about the top of 2nd gear. Scooted right across. Pretty sure carrying some speed is the only way you can do it.

Nice! Saw your post on Thumpertalk as well. Fun trail vid--wish we had stuff like this in Texas!
Those off camber roots right at the end of 9 are tricky!

Hi, we were just there this morning, we never saw any signs for the stages, how did you know which stage you were on?
You have to look really closely. Some of the signs are kinda faded. And/or kinda deduce it from the trail map.
