[apulanta13]

KTMs falling everywhere! I'll be headed to Capitol forest tomorrow for the first time. I'm riding blue and yellow, so I might be hard to miss. It looks like a lot of fun.

Johan, looks like a lot of fun. 

Try standing a little more often it gives you more control of the bike. Also instead running, "I hope I don't hit that," through your head. Think, "I control where the bike is."

[JohanStorch]

Thanks, great advice.

[SLAMURMOM]

[MXkX]

nice vid but this freackin spined cam is sooo annoying... still lots of fun u have there :)

[EMXer27]

thats a sweet video....wheres this place located. Looks awesome

[JohanStorch]

It's located southwest of Olympia WA. West on highway 101. Search Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR), they have maps, etc. posted online.

[fox13z400]

Dude awsome vid! I would love to ride their!

[ufoalien22]

Dude,you have amazing bike,but you must first at all learn how to ride.greatings

[JohanStorch]

Washington State (USA) is a little picky about allowing license plates on bikes with 'enduro' kits or the like. In short, it's easier to go the other way and get license plate.

[kojackk66]

Besides the obvious, what is the difference really between the 09 EXC and the SX models?

Looking at 450 EXC, but, why not just get the 450 sx model and put a light kit on it?

[Reason4thought]

I think u actually missed the obvious. EXC is 6 gears and the SX is 4 gears. SX is a terrible choice in the woods.

[JohanStorch]

not yet, pretty much Tahuya and Cle Elum

[deafmonkey115]

capitol forest is a sweet place to ride, i take the honda 150r up there and theres nothing i cant get over. You ever ride down in Walker Valley?

[EnduroRiding]

how heavy is it?

[JohanStorch]

probably around 260 pounds

[Twiztidninjas]

Top video looks like good riding, how do ya like the 450?

[JohanStorch]

Great bike. Just rode it at a 24 hour race in Goldendale WA, performed great.

[criticalmass181]

Nice video, mate. I just bought my 450 EXC......I can't wait to get out there.(I have to wait for a week, to pick it up. Rrrrrr!!!!!)

[JohanStorch]

Thanks, it is a great ride.

[XxPunkBitchesxX]

Great video man!

I love to see people use dirtbikes as they were met to be used! I think trail riding looks the funnest! Keep doing the videos man, keep us posted, nice bike too! The KTM 450 EXC seems to be the best trail/offroad bike thats street legalized.

[JohanStorch]

Yep, Tahuya is place where we rode for other video posted. Very familiar with Port Townsend, didn't realize there wasn't much riding out there. Too bad, looks like there would be some great spots to ride.

[sweedslayer]

nice bikes! good vid also, is this capitol forest in WA?

[JohanStorch]

Yes, just outside Olympia WA. Thanks for comment.

[sweedslayer]

yeah no problem, i usually ride over in tahuya near belfair. Im hoping to make it over there somtime this summer it looks like great riding. Im from Port Townsend if u know where that is. Not to much riding here

[JohanStorch]

Yep, other video posted was filmed at Tahuya. Familiar with Pt Townsend, didn't realize there isn't much riding out there. Too bad. Take care.

[copespitter]

me and my uncle only got about half way to the peak before we couldnt go any further from the snow and that was in january

[live2ridektm]

Bright orange is the only way to go!

[JohanStorch]

let us know how it goes ... especially clay conditions. Thanks!

[sharris623]

rode there after the december storms for the first time & going back next weekend .. can't wait. althought that clay is very slippery to ride one!!!

[brewster158]

lol u guys must b fairly new 2 ridin bikes haha. fell off on some really simple areas n made it easier thru th more difficult areas haha. im 18 n i been ridin for bout a year now on my KLX250 in WA Australia. but man i would really love to ride terrain such as this! looks awesome!

[JohanStorch]

brewster158 thanks for the comment, video is pretty much a 'blooper' reel.  One rider is fairly inexperienced, other is experienced. Any videos of rides in Australia?

[brewster158]

nah sorry champ.another question tho. i been thinkin bout gettin a KTM 250 EXCF or a 450 EXC but i dont kno how well they r to ride. looks like u wer usin KTM 250 EXCF's right? r they good value for money?

[JohanStorch]

both bikes are KTM 450EXC-R. definitely like the 450, buddy wants the 530. In the States they are loaded with smog equipment, if it is not required in Australia recommend going with different KTM 450. I think it's a good value for the money, solid bike.

[cartucho101]

nice bike...

[mkulpa]

真是好！
