Epic Ride Through The Best Single Track on Earth | Idaho

well I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious all right the exploration continues some of this has been fairly difficult it's been a couple times where I lost my moment them are struggled a little bit and it's mostly due to the Rock there's a lot of overgrowth here and a lot of times you'll hit some rock and get your front end a little cockey and drop it off the side of the trail like right in here there's a fair amount definitely a fair amount little loose guys man on this trip I've seen a lot of wildlife a lot of variety of stuff I don't think I've ever seen a any buffalo in Idaho which is normal Buffalo don't reside in Idaho but I did see buffalo in South Dakota today not today this trip a lot of people ask me how I manag to spit some words out while I'm doing this and Technical sections like this it's not that easy I don't make sense half the time I have to think about what I said sometimes and go back and say oh yeah not today wasn't today it was like 3 days ago pretty steep little climb here oh lots of rock hasn't ended yet it's pretty much non-stop climbing over Rock this whole Trail after a while I start breathing heavy I can definitely tell I'm not getting as good a Traction in the rear I do have that 20 lbs in there however it's still pretty good I think the gummy makes up for a lot that really soft compound really sticks pretty [Music] well all right well beautiful Trail lots of Rock think I'm going to check my camera check the battery and catch you guys on the next section peace I stopped right here to switch out my GoPro battery and the Flies were like he stopped moving he's now food flies were attacking me like crazy all right now I'm going [Music] again rocks on this Trail were pretty much non-stop at the beginning looks like they've slowed down a little bit though nly switchbacks I wouldn't be able do those on my der Z switch backs I can do on the Der Z but not like that and fact this trail system in general would have been greatly regretted had I taken my DRZ h got to be careful with these roots even a small one can really take you out I'm going to assume that one ties in with the one going straight probably does a gnarly switch back in here somewhere and then leads over there I guess I'll find out that's exactly what it did and was an early switch back had to throw my weight a little bit there oh oh yeah like I said these roots hanging out really add something to the trail that can really throw you off if you're not careful even one that's like an inch in diameter can throw your front end out from under you if you hit it at the right angle or the wrong angle I should say m I am pretty deep into this Trail now I'm looping back around this is a big old Loop and if there were to be something that uh stopped me and I had to turn around that would suck at this time I don't usually have that happen especially if I really need to get through unless there's just 20 Deadfall all over the place and you can't get through but in most cases you can get through and in most cases you can cut your way through as well even with a silky St like what I've got on me well right now I can't really remember if I've explained exactly how that event went but I guess I can do that now and talk about a little bit man the Dakota 600 is a great deal it's uh so first of all it's a $2,000 entry into the event but you get set up in a hotel that is very nice and then you have breakfast and dinners covered for you they're uh included in that dinner is a catered dinner that is so good it was good every night just really good and yeah it's it was such a great experience and then you've got rides to choose from each day you can choose whatever ride you want to do ranging from very very easy um pavement rides to gravel roads to whatever you want to do you can do single track I did two days of single track which I really loved you know I'm I love riding motorcycles just in general so I'm okay riding Street or dual sport whatever but after the street and dual sport rides I'm like yeah that was that was cool I enjoyed myself but where I really light up is when I get to ride this bike that's where that's what I really enjoy so I did that for the last two days of the event and man everybody in that event is super cool they do it once a year they're giving away all kinds of prizes I mean $2,000 like when I first heard that I was like man that's kind of spiny but after I saw all of what was offered I was like holy smokes this is a really good deal you really can't beat it it honestly should cost more in my opinion but each ride includes a destination point so all you have to do is buy lunch and your gas and stuff like that but uh yeah they go to lunch every ride so we ended up at different restaurants that were really good food so I was the videographer for the event which meant that I had to cut out early pretty much each day um the last day I didn't I just well actually yeah I didn't cut it too early the last two days I was out riding a lot but so I was I was pushing it for time on those last two days I actually almost screwed myself both of those days but regardless I did get really cool footage and it was a lot of fun a lot of fun but I was extremely busy it was a lot of work don't get me wrong I was sometimes I I I haven't been this is the first event that I did where I was a videographer so I just wasn't used to always being behind a camera and I didn't I didn't get a lot of stuff that I should have gotten but I look back on now I'm like I'm going to need that for the story but I didn't get it because I was eating or something so I was pretty much working from 7 well even earlier than that when I got up I guess but yeah basically from 700 a.m. till 11:00 p.m. is when I was going non-stop I was burning like 4500 to 5,000 calories each day because I was running up and down the hills on my bike filming people just burning through the calories and having a ton of fun doing it and I don't think they could have realized how awesome I thought that uh that bag was the saddle bags were that they gave me that first day I got there I was looking at the guy's bike and they had a custom Dakota 600 saddle bag on one of the bikes and they said yeah that's a 5year bag you get one of those after 5 years I was like man that's awesome it was by giant Loop and at the very last day they gave me one of those I was so stoked very very nice gesture hopefully I can do this whole event Justice really um get them a cool video the videos every night um so basically what happened was I would go out and ride every day and then I would film everybody for the day we had an app set up so I could get more footage and everything and and then uh about 2 p.m. I would have to be back couple days I was there by 3:00 p.m. which was pushing it really close but then I would edit the day's ride and I would have to edit that within 2 hours and I was editing this all like high quality 4K so I it was uh taking longer and longer as the video got longer and longer and uh so my computer was taking time to render it there the last day it took like 40 minutes whereas the first day only took like 7 minutes or something like that to render the video but essentially I was doing that so that I could film The the whole day people would send me their videos I would make an edit of uh basically everything that happened that day and then they would have dinner we had dinner at this Lodge a beautiful Lodge that overlooks the valley and the mountains and and the Mount Rushmore you can see the Mount Rushmore Monument from this Lodge and I say Lodge but really this thing is a mansion um we were having dinner there with this beautiful Overlook it's got a uh replica Liberty Bell in front of the Mansion which you can ring and it's like it's such a cool it's such a cool thing and anyways my video would be playing on Loop every night at dinner and it would feature you know a bunch of the stuff that had happened that day with the Riders and showing showing uh as many riders as I could which I thought was a really cool idea we ended up um using somebody else's computer which was a little bit slow it was kind of glitchy had popups coming up and it uh um couldn't play the video smoothly so I kept having pauses in the video and as the video file got bigger and bigger that that's uh when it would start stopping more and more because the computer was required to play a bigger video file but uh you know there's little things like that that I'll have to I'll have to fix for next time um audio set up I'm going to have to do next time I'm going to bring a an audio set up where I can get better audio from everybody but there's little things like that that it could be improved for sure but other than that it was a lot of fun this was pretty cool trail system in here targi mountains I believe I think this is the Snake River Mountain Range targi National Force all right I'm looping back around right now I might have to check the map but should be able to hit the highway from here and head back I've done some really good riding my watch is dead I don't even know why I'm looking at that died yesterday but uh yeah I'll catch you guys on the next video thanks for stopping by and coming along for the ride peace all right guys I just wanted to thank my patreon supporters that would be Landstar Jim Json Jr Kurt Kinghorn Daniel Rous Brian Thomasson Wade James Moto Creek Nathan young Jason froling I appreciate each and every one of you guys thank you
