The Perfect Squeeze Phone & Tablet Mount
Rock-Solid phone/tablet Mount
- The Perfect Squeeze is designed with one objective in mind: Hold any device in any terrain.
- And by hold we mean hold steady, without wobble, without constant readjustments.
- It will hold everything from a small phone to a full-sized iPad and doesn’t need any sort of special case to do it.
The Buddy System
WHAT IS THE BUDDY SYSTEM?
- It is what can save your life!
- If you were riding alone and got off the route and then got hurt..
- You may not be missed until the end of the day.
- For this reason we must insist that All riders use the buddy system.
- Obviously 2 (or 3) riders that enter together will be buddies.
- 4 or more should split into pairs.
BUDDY RIDING PROTOCOL
- Don’t make a major turn unless you know your buddy will also.
- Wait at major turns.
- If buddies get separated…
- Both go back to the last place they saw each other.
YOUR RIDE WILL BE…
- enhanced if you ride with others who are:
- Of the same skill level.
- Riding similar motorcycles.
- Have compatible desires for the ride Speed of travel.
- How often to stop for a rest, pictures, etc.
- Pair up with at least one other rider so that you can look out after each other.
What Club members are saying:
Good times. I learned a ton of things about my equipment. Namely my navigation tools.. I did not know what I did not know and I am much better now at using what I have. The routes were amazing.
I would have preferred some more challenging type trails but perhaps I am the only one wanting to bash rocks with a full sized adv bike.. Enough excitement was had without the need of bashing rocks though ! I will do another soon! Great work putting on and organizing an event like this.
