Poo Poo Kea

After leaving St. George, Johnny and I enjoyed Las Vegas and Dead & Company at the Sphere. That place is pretty crazy! The show was fantastic and it’s always great to hang with my best concert buddy!
We drove to San Jose along Highways 395 and 120 through Mammoth and Yosemite National Park. I had about one day to get settled before I jumped on a plane with my Wife, my Son, and three of his friends to travel to the island of O’ahu for about a week!
This Summer has been freakin’ awesome so far!
Well, I’m in Hawaii. Who knows when the opportunity to ride here might present itself again. I rented a bike and headed out to the North Shore. Located close to Turtle Bay at the northern tip of the island is a trail system called Sunset Hills. Trailforks also refers to it as Pupukea. It is located in the dense forest on the side of a cliff, facing the beaches and the Pacific.
I really had no idea what I was in for. I have lived on this island in the past, and I like to think I know it pretty well, but this terrain and location were a lot bigger an endeavor than I had bargained for.

well the was..... something lol. Way to hang in there and try to make the best of it!

[@MTBQandA]

All those pine needles and foliage, looks like a trail system here in Miami. Hey, at least you rode.

[@charleswhite7612]

Nice video. I like your humor. Yes. Hawaiian trails can be very different, rough, rooty to da max, icy SLICK, and confusing as heck. I lived there in the mid to late 90’s and there were trails everywhere. Now, due to overcrowding (I guess), it seems they’ve corralled the Mtb riders into 2 main areas: where you rode (what we used to call Kahuku MX Park, and then over on the opposite end of the island, above Waimanalo. Both areas are spaghetti networks of trails. And yes, you drink a lot of water out there, about 2x normal. Thanks for sharing brah! Aloha😎🤙
