Dirt Biking Moab, UT | Pritchett Canyon
Переглядів 14 тис.3 роки тому
Pritchett Canyon is one of the most iconic off road trails in Moab with a difficulty rating of a 9 out of 10 for 4x4's. It's not exactly a walk in the park for dirt bikes either though. It will challenge even the experienced rider... Will you take the easy line or the hard line?
A Dirt Bike Paradise | Warner Valley, Utah
Переглядів 10 тис.3 роки тому
Warner Valley can be as hard as you want it to be - Cruise the double track, hit the cliff edge single tack, or charge up a bouldery wash until you can't make it any further. There is an endless amount of riding here with many different types of terrain making it great for any level of rider.

High Exposure Riding | Northern Utah
Переглядів 1,6 тис.3 роки тому
This trail starts at Pineview Reservoir in Ogden Valley - Climbing through the Northern Wasatch Mountains to the top of Ben Lomond Peak where the views are astounding. This trail is recommended for experienced riders as the terrain becomes very steep, loose, and technical with high exposure areas.
Steep & Loose - Hard Enduro | Provo Canyon, Utah
Переглядів 5 тис.4 роки тому
This loop in Provo Canyon is probably the toughest trail in the Wasatch that we've ridden to date. It is extremely steep with some tricky switchbacks and what makes it so difficult is trying to get traction through the loose rock. It's a challenging ride with very rewarding views at the top! 5 out of 5.
Craziest Trail I've Ever Ridden! | Warner Valley, UT
Переглядів 2,7 тис.4 роки тому
The Cliffs Of Insanity is an iconic trail in Southern Utah and it's nothing short of it's name. The trail itself isn't very long but you will never forget it. Steep, technical, and extremely exposed. It is one of the craziest trails we've ever ridden!
Insane Spine Riding | Caineville, Utah (AKA Swingarm City)
Переглядів 2 тис.4 роки тому
Caineville, Utah is well know for its freestyle MX riding but is has much more to offer. We went out in search of the tallest spines and were humbled by what we found.
San Rafael Swell | Orange Trail
Переглядів 3,3 тис.4 роки тому
Amongst the Colored Trails at The Swell in Southern Utah, Orange Trail is one of our favorites. It has a nice mix of tech sections and flowy desert single track.
Five Miles of Hell BACKWARDS (Full Trail)
Переглядів 2,7 тис.4 роки тому
Mariah and Chris from the Utah Trail Slugz ride 5MOH Backwards with Adam Morrisett. The preferred direction to ride this trail would be going up "The Crux" but we decided to try riding it the opposing direction. Riding 5MOH backwards made it an entirely different trail with new obstacles and challenges.

IK this a old post hopefully you respond but i live in orem and have and xpro titan 250 dlx, do you think that bike could handle this
Pritchett is no joke - the GoPro flattens everything, and makes it look so much easier than it is in reality. Your skills are insane!
Thank you 🤘
So beautiful ! I need to ride here one day 😍 Greetings from Germany
Great job!!!!!
Wow you guys are awesome riders!! I live in Park City..
Is this trail still open? Anywhere near water fall trail, orange, red and blue? Headed to the swell next week. Thanks in advance.
Yes to both! It’s just on the North side of i70. You can get to it by taking Head of Sinbad Rd off of Temple Mountain Road. When Head of Sinbad gets close to i70 you’ll see a tunnel that goes under the freeway which links into Devils Racetrack. You can ride it out and back but we’d recommend making a loop via Fix It Pass to Coal Wash to Devils Racetrack.
everybody wants a couple of girls like you that can ride nice work
you're very impressive ladies. I am too old for high consequence trails however what's good for you.
Can you give us a trail number? Is it anywhere near this: ua-cam.com/video/jzH6PkysPn8/v-deo.html
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner!! Trail #059
Is all that footage from Warner valley area? I recognized some, but I need to get down there again and explore more of the east side
Yep, it’s all from Warner Valley 😊
Excellent!!
It is SOOOoooo nice to see women who like to get into the rough stuff!
Fun stuff. We rode Peach Valley and found it increadibly uncomfortable (coming from Florida). When I was down I wanted to go up and as soon as I was up I wanted to get down as fast as possible. Sooooo weird. Thanks for shairing!
EXCELLENT!! I'll have to get out there sometime! Nice stuff!
That was great! Good job!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! 🙏
Hey can i ask how tall you are and what bike that is?
Of course! I’m about 5’6” and was riding a 2017 250 EXC-F in this video.
Thanks very much! Great video. I see that the bike has a 37.1 seat height. Is yours lowered at all? I'm also about 5'6" and that seat ht seems pretty daunting. @@UtahTrailSlugz
I had a travel reducer in the rear shock which lowered approximately 3/4” and I shave the heck out of my seat. I did not lower the forks tho. I’m riding a 2022 300 XC-W now with stock height but shaved my seat down. I do have to spring down for my weight so that helps a bit too.
Excellent. thanks much for the responses!@@UtahTrailSlugz
I'm 6' and I always had my bikes dropped 1 in from a respectable suspension company. looks like you're already good but dropping both the front and back would really help you lmo. recluse and left hand rear brake is a game-changer as well. we will all be riding electric in the near future.
Excellent!
Fun to watch
Thank you!!
Been there and done that. Scary but fun!
It’s a weird feeling being way up there on some of those big spines!
so cool !! ever ride with the GhostriderZ Utah folks ?!
Nah, that doesn’t sound familiar.
Late to the party but you are absolutely amazing. Great ride, excellent race. Way to stay with it - I enjoyed the vid and your determination. Excellent show!
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words 😊 Hope to race it again this year!
good job! I feel your pain! I was near you at the finish and i had very similar struggles all over the course! it was insane! exactly after the walk i was demoralized but i had done GS1 and i wanted to do 1 lap so bad! you made that wall at 16:00 mark look easy the second time and in 1st gear! awesome
Thank you! It was a tough course, I definitely rode some stuff that I would not have attempted otherwise. It was a lot of fun though. I’m hoping to do it again this year!
@@UtahTrailSlugz yeah I did so much stuff I didn't think I could do but when you're in a race and determined to do 1 lap..... I'll be there this year too. It so much fun.
Haha, same. So, it turns out that we’re probably not going to make it down there this year 😢 Please have sooo much fun and have a good race!
Awesome video!! You kicked butt! I’m hoping to do a few hard enduro races. Never done one.. just race the RMEC series
Thank you!! It was so much fun. I’m hoping to do Grinding Stone again, you should totally come do it!
That is a trail I would love to ride thanks for sharing both of you are good riders beautiful place
This is super cool!
Thank you! 🤙
Absolutely crushed it!! 🤘
Thank you!! 😊👊
Where are yall? Havent seen you in a min
I know… we’re terrible! Haha. Just been so busy with work, haven’t had time to edit any footage.
Awesome video🤘🤠🤙I’ve got family that lives in Utah I want to go riding down there so bad but it’s a bit of a journey from where I live at in Oregon 🤘🤠🤘
It’s worth the drive, we promise you won’t be disappointed!
Those trails are harder than you all make them look. Fantastic riding.
If you like difficult single track, Hobble Creek has some of the best extremely technical single track in utah county IMO. Would love to show you some awesome trails up there once the dang snow melts!
I met up with a group this week to ride up near Delle. They said they were burning in new trails and I didn't know what I was in for. I considered myslef intermediate until I saw what I was up against lol. I'm definitely a beginner now lmao. They were all true professionals. They left me in the dust. Some of the most extreme enduro riding I've ever witnessed. I only lasted for 10 minutes into the ride. Giant lose sharp rocks, sheer drops along rock faces, steep ass hill climbs. It was insane. I hope to gain the skill to finish the loop by the end of the summer
Dayum you be out there showing up the guys in technique! Keep it up!!
Great videos as always. Do you think Warner valley area is too warm/hot to ride in late May? I am looking for riding areas over the May 25-June 1 timeframe and I could stay and ride here in Colorado, but wondering about Utah, specifically Warner area. thanks for any input
I would expect temps to be in the 90’s around that time of year - too hot for our liking. We usually go early spring or late fall.
Great job!
Holy <honk>, that looked brutal! Great job!
It was brutally awesome!! 🤘
Awesome Grindstone video, great commentary! Congrats!
Thank you 😊 👊
11:05 the laughter of a lunatic 😎👍
🤣
Pretty cool video, nice work🎖
Good video good ride. Unfortunately I thought you will be better than Megs, next time.
Haha, you’re not the first person to say that 🤣 I’ll just have to try again next year!
Great ride Mariah, especially considering you did most of that with bent bars. Congrats on completing the race.
Thanks dude! The bent bars definitely made for a bit more of a challenge. Haha
Ever consider some BRP handguard mounts? They seem to help with the tomahawk damage.
Yeah, Chris runs the BRP mounts and he really likes them - they seem to hold up really well.
Nothing cooler than racing the Pros in your first race. Epic ride
Wow, that looked brutal-awesome job! Your poor bike😂
It’s amazing how much abuse these bikes can take 😂
You’re a legit Badass. Awesome to watch & super impressive! 🤙🏻
Thank you so much, I appreciate that! 🤘
Great job!!! Good to see you guys out there!
Nice to see you as well! We’ll have to link up and ride again sometime soon.
Awesome job. You did great!
Mariah, excellent video because you did an exceptional ride... keep it up.
Awesome video! Great job that looked like a serious work out.
There were comments in the video about "rocks being slippery". I don't know where you live, but folks here use a gummy tire for that type of riding, mostly. It takes most of that slippery out.😁 Very nice ride from both of you.
We also ride with gummy tires here in Utah. The rocks usually have great traction, until they don’t… when they get covered with sand or dirt they become very slippery.
My experience with Moab was that any tire in any condition worked really well. I would typically spoon on old tires that would normally be considered roached for Moab trips because slickrock chews up new ones kind of quickly but anything works. Your results may differ
What is this trails name or number? What a cool trail👊👊 I live in pleasant grove and need to try it👍 thanks Bret
Big Springs Hollow #059 Going to be a late mountain singletrack season around here with all the snow! Haha
@@UtahTrailSlugz boy is it ever, so much snow ⛄️ thanks 🙏 for the info 👊👊
