I've ridden at Brushy a couple of times and plan to do a lot more in the future. I'm not local to NC, but hoping to spend more time there in the near future.
Brushy has a much better trail network and a track but the dirt quality at Brown is the best! Wet or dry, the traction is consistently good. Decomposing granite as opposed to the clay-based dirt at Brushy.
Awesome! Wife and I had matching xr250’s rode all the mountain trails in the late 90’s early 2000’s, sold them. Son and I bought two cef450x’s in 2008. Just never really liked the bikes, sold mine two years ago. Just picked up a new crf250f after seeing all the great reviews, pulls like a tractor, suspension was soft and soaks up rock hits like no bodies business etc. Hope to get up to brown before to much snow and ice falls on the trials.
@@slowridefpv9668 I think the CRF250F is a perfect trail bike for slower technical riding. I think the 450x was designed mostly with desert racing in mind. I wouldn't want to ride one in tight woods at 1st-2nd gear speeds, but they are very popular out west where the terrain is open and you're typically riding much faster. The euro two strokes love the tight woods as well, but are obviously significantly more expensive... you can get two CRF250F's for the price of one KTM or Beta :)
Very cool looking place!
nice Video, I'll be there tomorrow 12/8/22 I hope the rain isn't too bad....
Looks fun!!
Brown is a blast, can’t wait to get back out there
I need to check out Brown mountain. Do you ride at Brushy Mountain? That’s my main spot.

@@dreamwhileyousleepthat’s something I hadn’t thought about. Been thinking about heading to one of those 2 places.
What gear are you in mostly?
It's a 150 so I shift a lot - 1st and 2nd in the technical stuff and 3rd and 4th in the more open on this trail.
Very cool ride! What’s your buddies thoughts on his crf250f?
He cruises on that thing, made it up and through everything with no issue.

Definitely easier on a 4 stroke u really need the torque up on Brown
The 150 needed some clutch work, but the light feeling bike was really fun to throw around the boulders!
