191SLEDHEADSPart three: Part two. They say the best mem-
ories come from bad ideas done with good
friends and that pretty much sums up our
summer vacation last year. Tony Jenkins, Jes-
se Ziegler and myself decided to ride our dirt
bikes across the entire state of Idaho on as
much single track as possible. What ensued
was nine of the hardest and longest days of our
lives with flat tires, breakdowns, running out of
fuel, dragging bikes up cliffs, cutting logs and
fire re-routes. It was pretty rough at the time
but we survived and have memories that will
last a lifetime. —Stephen Clark
Probably one of the most fun days of last sea-
son. It was early season and I got to have a
boys trip. This hill has shattered just about
every single rider’s dreams I’ve ever taken to
it. That feeling of being at the top of a gnarly
line looking down at all your buds stucker than
stuck is the best. —Chris Burandt
I always find it important to help out when your
buddy needs to lift his sled to shake a bolt out
from under the motor. Wrenching in the back-
country can be a tough one, but it’s always bet-
ter with help. ––Duncan Lee
This is Dan Gardiner, smiling, because he knows
what lies ahead in this canyon he is about to
torture me in. —Kim Onasch
