Tortilla Flats, Arizona. Camera mounted to bike

This is for the guys and gals that dont check the cycle forum. I made this video for fun and to also look and critique my riding. Been ridin only for a short time so yes I am slow haha. Also there are areas where we could be goin faster but its also the same areas the cops and rangers park. Also you slow down eveytime you see anything white as they are in cars, SUV's, and pickups.

Video is long because I didnt want to cut out too many parts of the road. This is the fun we have in AZ, but i really want to get out to Cali and hit some of those roads.

Enjoy!

IF I am ever down there visting, i will have to get you to Tucson to show you Mt Lemon. You don't need to go to Cali, I promise. AZ has a LOT of places hiding in the desert. Cool vid :smt023 Dig the tracks.

You won't regret it and you might run into a few people I know. It is about 30+ miles or so of curves, switch backs and even a few nice straights. The first horseshoe is like a BIG F-IN skid pad... or so I hear :smt077 Just make sure you look out for park rangers and take it slow at the top where the trees and camp grounds are, other then that, once you get to know it, try making it to Windy Point from the bottom in under 13-15 (bike-car/truck) minutes and go from there lol. Oh and if they opened back up, there is a little restuarante on top of the mountain in a little old hippie town called Summer Haven. You have to check it out if the trees have grown back and what not... Lemme know what you thought of it.

yea for some reason Arizona has the largest boat sales in the US yet we have the least amount of water. There is a big lake at the bottom of the canyons that you can see parts of and people are always goin there with thier boats. Its even worse when a tripple axle trailor comes around a turn takin up both lanes :}n you got some really big boats out there... just like ones you would see on the great lakes like the 30 ft Sea Rays...
