A listener writes “I just wanted to let you know that I had 2 encounters while out dirt bike riding in la county and riverside county this spring.

The first one was while riding out in santa clarita at a place called rowher flats. It was a rainy stormy afternoon and I was out riding in the rain and fog. visibility was about 30-40 feet and I passed one that was less than about 10 foot off the trail that I was ascending. It was basically down in all fours, facing downhill as I was climbing up. this was a hill that had trees at the top and was basically a spot that everybody uses as a kick it spot and has snack and drinks and such.

This animal didnt run but instead froze and tried to play possum i think. It was big and muscular and reminded me of that dude lattimer from the movie the program. Latimer was basically a big steroided out defensive lineman and thats what this looked like. As I passed it, I noticed that it was mostly dark brown/black with a reddish tint and its back was almost perfectly flat and if you watch “the program” Youll see latimer in his down position and it instantly reminded me of that.

I passed it in probably third gear so I was moving, but I got a really good look at it. Nothing changed as I passed I didnt go faster, I didnt slow down I simply saw it and kept doing what I was doing. It looked like a really big tree stump like a redwood or something. but this was socal and there were no trees that big around that area. The hair looked like perfectly splintered but all going in the same direction. but no way. It was a tree stump because It twitched as if it was ready to take me on. Its hair was probably about 4” long and looked recently groomed and the hair was going in the same direction. I passed it and was just thinking thats no bear, a bear is round and every time Ive seen a bear on my bike it always ran away. No, this was a monster. it took a couple of sleepless nights for it to register. this place does lead of to pretty desolate areas and it was pretty foggy in the morning. I went back the following week and filmed moto-vlog #15 but I was there with a big group. And I was still kinda scared. anyways that’s this sighting.

The other sighting happened in riverside county at a place called Santa Rosa off of the 91 freeway and close to the 215 by perris maybe, im not sure. I was out there by myself just kinda practicing my hard enduro bike skills. and checking out this new to me area.

Anyways I had climbed to the top of a mountain and stopped to take in the views. as I did I noticed about 7-10 of em across the valley from where I was. They were moving on all fours and looked like some kind of ninja comandos or something moving purposefully on a very steep and loose mountainside. There was a barn not to far off from them, so maybe they were moving in to check it out. I dont really know what they were up to, but they didnt notice me. and I was like wtf??? I did a few double takes to make sure I could see them, and it actually was what I thought it was, and I was locked in on em. Then off to my right and below where I was stopped, I heard a loud screech like something between a hawk or an owl but very loud. and then the ones that I was looking at across the valley, scattered and froze and kinda blended in to the bushes and actually looked like bushes. then I noticed those same looking bushes all around me.

In less than a second a great fear came over me and I started my bike and got the hell out of there. I got on the gas and it wasnt until after I got to the next mountain over when I finally slowed down. after riding around for a couple of hours I went back to that hill to see if I saw it again but I didnt. It was pretty spooky, and I was really uneasy about it. I didnt go back until about 5-6 weeks later (just this last sunday) and when I did I still felt really uneasy about it. and I was with my wife and kids.”
