Nice video. Not a big fan of showing the locations of places. I’ve been hitting the dirt for over 30 years. Invite some in person. But I never tell anyone else where. Kind of like telling someone about your fishing spot. Digging through maps, asking around and just straight out exploring is part of it.
@Michael_Tran 6 ай бұрын
I totally understand not sharing locations and respect people that want to do that, while this video does show locations. Most of the trails I've shown on social media are trails that are on most off roading maps and apps like all trails, onxoffroad and trailsoffroad. My reason is to help those that just got into off roading not get lost. I've had that happen to myself a few times and can get dangerous if you go down the wrong path.
