Bill,
Yes, there are still a few places to ride up here, but fewer and fewer by the day. Used to ride the KTM dual-sport up to Idylwild thru Anza, but not lately.

One reason that I have strayed away from the moto scene is because of the new generation of supercross kids and tracks in the last decade or so. Mostly hitting the dez with the family, but it's pretty boring after awhile. Until lately...

I've been to El Cajon, Elsinore, etc., and you need a pilots license to ride there. Remember when Bob Hannah would boycott the new style indoor tracks because of the doubles? (Back when Chandler and Bailey were hurt) Well, I banned myself from them too. There is a brand new track up at the Cahuilla Indian Reservation near Anza that is to die for!!! It is as loamy as Mammoth Mountain, has no double jumps, and elevation changes that will have you rejetting your bike at the bottom of every downhill! First time there, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. It is Unadilla, Carlsbad, Mammoth, and Saddleback all rolled up into one. Most tracks, 125's can be giant killers, but this one is a true open-class bike track, and boy, does it get rough. Those supercross-specialist kids are clueless at this track because there aren't 43 jumps. Absolute killer! Anyone who remembers the old style outdoor MX tracks will fall in love again. My 525 is just brutal on this type of track. While the smaller bikes are just coming on the pipe, the bottom end torque of the 4 stroke just launches you out of the turns. Those who are still 2 stroke fans will become 4 stroke believers on this kind of track.

Moto:
zahrt was sponsored by Mid-Valley on a factory Ossa back in '76, and one of his first photo op's/tests was for Rick Sieman just after his DirtBike days, and he was doing no-hands/no-feet jumps 40 feet in the air with nothing on but a helmet, shorts, and sandals on. The guy was an absolute head-case...but with real talent. Zahrt was the king of Indian Dunes.
