Exploring the Ivy Branch Hatfield McCoy Trails: Hill Climbing and Trail Riding on Dirt Bikes
After leaving Hobet Mine outlaw trails a group of dirt bikes and a couple four wheelers head to Ivy Branch to ride some trails and try some hill climbs.
Within 15 minutes of riding Ivy one of the quads sinks it in a mudhole and the other one has to get him out with a winch. Unfortunately, we were separated so none of it is on video.
There are plenty of crashes this day when we try to climb some hills.
One rider revs his bike for over a minute, but it doesn't blow up!
Bikes:
Gas Gas EX300
2022 KTM 250XCW
Beta Xtrainer
Honda CRF250f
Yamaha YZ250
Honda CRF450RL
2 utility four wheelers

Trail Riding to Hobet Mine From Ivy Branch Hatfield McCoy Trails
Переглядів 175День тому
A group of dirt bikes and four wheelers ride the outlaw trails to the Hobet Mine in West Virginia. We started the day out at Ivy, rode Hobet for a little while and met up with another group to do more hill climbs at Ivy later that day. There are some steep rocky trails, and one of the four wheelers didn't have any brakes, so he had to take some bypasses. Luckily there were no crashes in this vi...

We spend some time this morning riding through a creek bed and cutting some hill climbs. We open up some old hill climbs, but there's one nobody can top. It leads to a few small crashes. After hitting a few hills, we spend the rest of the time riding through the woods. There is a lot of land here, and most of the trails are made from gas roads, logging roads and pipelines.

Adventure Bikes Travel Down the Mountain and Through Several Creeks (Part 2 of 2)

After we make it to the top of the hill we have to come down and navigate our way back home. The Africa Twin gets stuck in a ditch for a bit and we have to cross a creek that is deeper than the Husky 701s mid pipe. Earlier in the day another rider drowned their bike in this same creek and my mid pipe came loose from the header so it was under water. We ride back from the trails on the way to Ho...

I Wreck My Dirt Bike 10 Times, Run Out of Gas and Have to Push it Home
Переглядів 1832 місяці тому
In spring of 2019 I started riding dirt bikes again after not riding at all for 4 years. I had a 2015 Kawasaki KX250F and wrecked it several times going up a rutted-out cabin gas hill road in West Virginia. I also wreck it in a couple mud holes, run out of gas and have to push it home. After I get back to Columbus the bike won't run and I eventually find out the cam jumped time somehow. Bike: 2...
Beginner Dirt Bike Rider at Perry State Forest
Переглядів 4853 місяці тому
In August of 2019 I took my 2013 KTM 200 XCW to Perry State Forest in Ohio. I am more comfortable on the bike at this time than the May video as I had been a few times since then. I still struggle through much of the ride, avoid most of the mud and only ride the two track. I did not ride any of the single track trails.

First Time on a Dirt Bike at Perry State Forest

This video is not really for entertainment, and mostly for me to look back at my progress in the future. I took my KTM to Perry State Forest in Ohio to ride for the first time in the summer of 2019. This is the first time I ever took a dirt bike to a trail as an adult. I rode off and on as a kid, but probably had less then 50 hours combined over 10 years to this point. I was dealing with a lot ...

Need to ride with you all when I’m back home in November
I see my nephew there, hey Eli!
There are actually 3 Elis in this video, but I'll be posting more videos with him in it soon too.
9:19 why did the bike die? Also why did you use the starter to start it back up vs just letting the clutch out?
Thanks for watching the video that much and in detail! I'm not sure, but I believe I have an intermittent electrical/kill switch issue. I've been riding on the 701 and hit something hard enough it throws the kill switch. At the time I felt it would be easier to use the starter button rather than downshift and bump start it. I'm not sure I was going fast enough in the current gear to roll start it and I wasn't going slow enough in the gear for the engine to die.
These videos make me wish a I had a light adventure bike, too. Looks like a lot of fun.
Yeah it's a ton of fun. I've done a decent amount of street riding and sxs riding but I think this is great. I do prefer riding my dirt bikes though.
Negotiating SxS ruts is no joke. Much respect.
Appreciate it. Some of the ruts are really deep.
I am retired so I can ride just about any day. Next Monday looks like a good day as far as temperature and chance of rain . I have to travel about 120 miles to get there.
I am a newbie also. But I am 71 years old. Do you ever ride at Wayne National Forest? If you do let me know when and maybe I can ride with you. I have a CRF250F.
I haven't traveled to wayne national forest to ride in several years. I typically ride in WV most of the time now since I live close to Charleston WV
Still a beginner? Lol. I am too. Just finished rebuilding my ktm 300 and thinking of going to perry tomorrow. Would love to have a riding buddy!
I'd say I'm still a beginner/intermediate now. I'm trying to post some of my old videos and my current videos too. This one was from years ago but I live around charleston wv now. I'm open to riding some of the trails around here with you if you'd like.
@@AppalachianOutdoorChannel did you sell this bike about a year ago if so i think i may have bought it. it looks identical to the one i bought.
So you live in Charleston. I live in Clarksburg. I could meet you for a ride at Ivy Branch sometime.
Where do you live? I am looking for a riding buddy to ride out of Ivy Branch or Wayne National Forest. Let me know if you are interested.
I live in North Central WV, Clarksburg.

Thank you for subscribing!
Big fan of the channel!
I appreciate you!
First viewer!
Congrats! Thanks for watching.
Buffalo Mountain is a good one for bikes. that's where we go a lot.
I'd like to go to Buffalo sometime. I need to get a little better before some of their single track, though.
There are some gnarly ones out there lol
💞Wow💜💜💜💜💜💜🤍
Is there a good 3-4 days of riding at Ivy?
I'd say that Ivy is closer to 1-2 days depending on how much time you ride without stopping. There are some nearby places that could make it easy to ride for 3-4 days.
Hobet mine, Little Coal River, Big Coal River all within 15 minutes ride of each other
😅😅👍
