Love it! Middle/ northern Idaho is full of trail like that. Rode a bunch of it this past weekend. It's so chunky, much steeper then it looks, and relentless, which makes it difficult to keep your momentum and balance making it even harder. Great times.
Good lord that looks brutal. Nice work! I used to think those trails were fun, but not so much anymore. I'll live vicariously through your videos. Thanks!
Travis said: "Get on your damn bike and ride." That's all you need to know. I've got this trail on my list now. While my riding buddies are claiming they are too old to do this stuff any more I only want to ride harder stuff every time I ride. This trail looks amazing. Thank for the video.
This was painful to watch lol. At 50 years old, I gave up all riding that involves "Hike'a bike". I feel for you bud, nothing kills the joy worse than heat, rocks and bike damage. Great video as always!
I’m 56 and stay in good shape to ride the technical stuff. Graham Jarvis is almost 50 as well. I’m just disappointed that stewardship of the trails and our sport is so impugned with this video. This leads to closures. Thanks for that.
I made it over this trail this weekend. I watched this video before I rode the trail and I gotta say its much more difficult and steep than this video indicates. Ive been riding for 51 one years now and i e never been that exhausted on a bike. Im 65 now and im really glad i made it with the help of our group but I won't be trying it again unless they do some serious trail maintenance.
Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Too old, unskilled, and injury averse to take that trail on. However, it's interesting to watch somebody get through it. As a decidedly mediocre casual trail rider, I pick up riding techniques watching your vids. I appreciate it.
I was there. Kicked all of our asses. By far the hardest trail I’ve ever done. Struggle bus. So fun tho. Worth the effort. Travis you are the man. Thanks for all your help that whole trip. Was epic.
Damn dude. That looked brutal and good on ya for showing all of the gruesome details. When you start the day feeling zapped you know its going to be a long one but still, great ride man great ride.
@@EverySingleSunday I've done a 60 mile enduro and started out feeling like shit, the point that you bend the sprocket was to real lmao. Anyway i've seen you hammer trails that I wouldn't even attempt at the same speed, and this video looked a little more like me, and if for no other reason that was fun to watch :) Keep it up, always enjoy your uploads.
I like your total honesty - the good bad and the ugly - it's all included. Those conditions (HEAT!) are brutal esp wearing any safety gear. I'd take my Sherco trials bike except the range is awful and I want a seat most of the time. Have the same rear sprocket U do, but have yet to do THAT to it!
No sense in trying to be a bad ass who’s better than everyone And I prefer my 300 over a trials bike for this stuff. The seat, comfort and ergonomics on a long day make it much better for me. The Trails bikes are fun but I don’t enjoy long days on them
And another great video bro. I've always struggled with weight for so many years. Look up the master cleanse it's no joke, by day 3 you have a clear head and lots of energy. It's the best way to start changing eating habits. Keep up the good work!!
@@EverySingleSunday I am envious of the places you get to, Living in England, we don't have the trails like you do, so watching your vids, keeps me going !!!
Ok, commenting here before I’m even halfway way through… Did you make it or did your heart explode from the work out and then shrivel up from the heat. Wow you were rocking it.. 🤜🏻 - ok back to watching it now 😂👍
Looks amazing! What back tire were you running on that one?🤓 sorry to hear about your recent hiccup 🤨 wishing you a speedy recovery (as much as it can be)
This place is on my bucket list. MOAB for 11 days this coming October and Maybe Gold Creek Lodge next year for a week or so. Out of interest, what time of year was this filmed, just interested as you said it's 90 and I would like to try and avoid that lol. Hence me hitting MOAB Oct - Nov this year. Best to you mate, ride safe.
This was about 3 or 4 weeks ago. It’s the same time when Portland got the 117 degree record heat. I was here last year same time and it was 55. Just random bad luck
@@EverySingleSunday Ok well sorry to hear of your luck mate, I know we are in a big drought so I hope MOAB doesn't suffer from the same unseasonal heat in Oct. I am hoping for 50's there. Good to know it's usually 50's at this time in Idaho. Thanks for the feedback mate, stay safe.
I rode/raced stuff like that in Colorado for 20 years and really miss it. Rekluse all the way!! I'll bet the "5" thumbs down people just don't know how to ride techi shit like this. Best exercise out there!!
And there’s some guy emailing my work trying to get me fired over this saying we’re tearing up trails and not on the trail for some reason. He’s been sharing it around FB and I’m guessing he has 5 friends that gave it thumbs down
If you put the chain on just a little, then slightly power the Bike, it'll connect the chain. :) Older people know a lot of stuff. :) Where it was at when you asked for help, it would have worked. Anyway, fun video!
That would have worked for the first situation but not the second. I prefer the slow / by hand method so I can make sure everything is aligned But definitely a good tip if you’re by yourself

Oh ya, the place is awesome. So many epic trails that all go for what feels like an eternity
I go for the heartbeat per minute. PackSaddle makes me want to abuse my neighbor’s dog. But in the end we all win.
Good lord that looks brutal. Nice work! I used to think those trails were fun, but not so much anymore. I'll live vicariously through your videos. Thanks!
It was just a bad day to hit it. Way to hot and the end of a 2 months trip. I was spent.
You sound much smarter than me
@@EverySingleSunday At least you guys made it. The heat is a killer for sure. I think I've become a fair weather rider.

Gold Creek is a great time. They had a huge mix of trails and this is the hardest of them by far. Get your boys together and get in your bikes 👍

I love these days. Just wish I had a bit more energy going into it. This trail was so much fun

Ya, the GoPro effect is real. It definitely flattens everything out.
Hopefully it wasn’t 100 degrees when you were out there :)
Bloody hell, what a trail !!!! Great job getting as far as you did !
You're always helping riders with their bikes
Ya, it happens. Gotta keep the train moving
Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Too old, unskilled, and injury averse to take that trail on. However, it's interesting to watch somebody get through it. As a decidedly mediocre casual trail rider, I pick up riding techniques watching your vids. I appreciate it.
Awesome Greg. Love hearing messages like yours. I always try and mix in a tip or two if I can. Have a great weekend 🤘
Well done Travis! Never give up! Still a tough sprocket! I will give them try!
I’m a huge fan of their stuff. They have been super solid and nothing would have held up to my dumb ass prying my hike off of it
Well done. Looked like a killer trail.
Definitely a rad trail. Wish I was feeling that day but it was still rad 👍
Looks amazing, awesome vid Travis.
Thanks so much. This was a fun one even though I was feeling like crap that day
You guys arev s uper commited,... and talented. Cheers and enjoy
Thanks 😊
Who needs a gym just buy a dirtbike to get a damn good workout that trail looks brutally fun
Oh ya, this will whip you into shape if you do it enough
@@EverySingleSunday Do you have a fitness routine for riding ?!
I was there. Kicked all of our asses. By far the hardest trail I’ve ever done. Struggle bus. So fun tho. Worth the effort. Travis you are the man. Thanks for all your help that whole trip. Was epic.
Who’s this? And ya, the entire trip was amazing and a solid group of guys for sure. Excited for the next adventure already
@@EverySingleSunday Coleman and the Az crew
Dude that was gnarly! Gotta love those rides that don't need a tens place on the speedo.
Oh ya, keep it under 10 and it’ll a winner for sure
Loved it!!
Awesome man. Lots more good stuff to come
Heck yeah! That struggle is all too familiar
Good stuff 🤘
Damn dude. That looked brutal and good on ya for showing all of the gruesome details. When you start the day feeling zapped you know its going to be a long one but still, great ride man great ride.
Ya, this was the end of a 4 week trip. I was destroyed coming in to this ride

Ya, I’ve been up and down a few times. Hard to eat good in the road and plus I’m lazy about cooking
Thanks for the info
That looks like a real tester for sure.. Hope to make it up there one day.
Gold Creek should be a destination for any Moro junkie. Good food and a cool place to stay right on the trails. It’s paradise
Great edit Travis! That GG is a Luggy McLugger!
Yes she is Matt. High comp head, 7 oz clutch weight, an extra tooth out back. She lugs you everything I can throw at her. Hope you’re doing well
Good ridin there. That looks rough as hell
It’s a dam good trail :)
Looks nice 👌
It was fantastic :)
Hope you’re doing well, Lior
Nice edit 🤘🏽
Thanks man. Love this stuff
Amazing !!!!!
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed this one
@@EverySingleSunday I am envious of the places you get to, Living in England, we don't have the trails like you do, so watching your vids, keeps me going !!!
I’m a lucky guy for sure.
hahah the struggle was real!!! I love it! and I don't think that was a negative review of that sprocket... bending is far better then breaking
Thanks Kev. I feel the same way. For it to be that tweaked and still be able to be bent back and keep rocking. I’m a huge fan
I rode the high desert of California Nevada with a manager from dirt tricks his name was Travis, one hell of a rider.
I don’t know Travis. I usually deal with Zack and Clint most the time
Headed to gcl sept 8th thru the 12th this is on my bucket list
Awesome 🤘 Have an epic trip and make sure to try the White Russian at the bar. Tell everyone we said hello
@@EverySingleSunday you got it
Gonna go ride up it tomorrow morning... Cant wait....
Have fun. Weather should be amazing
I got tired just watching you damn you fought hard for everything on that day
This was a bad day. I need to get back after it when I’m feeling strong. Would be so much fun
Strait up gnarly trail, and you can seriously ride dude!
That trail was a beast and so much fun. I want to go hit it again when I’m fresh
Just rode this on Saturday. For sure, it's not the most technical trail, but it's a ton of work due to the length and no easy spots to rest.
It’s a great time for sure. Hopefully that brutal heat wave is gone by now :)
Holy shit, that rock pile at the end. wow.
Ya, it was pretty wild. I totally didn’t expect that when we reached the top. Then seeing a couple guy ride up blew my mind
Ok, commenting here before I’m even halfway way through… Did you make it or did your heart explode from the work out and then shrivel up from the heat. Wow you were rocking it.. 🤜🏻 - ok back to watching it now 😂👍
I thought about dying. This wasn’t my best day. Last ride day of a 4 week trip
A sick and evil person created that route! A ton of perseverance to ride that “trail” and fight through it - much respect.
Yes… and I applaud them for it
Looks amazing! What back tire were you running on that one?🤓 sorry to hear about your recent hiccup 🤨 wishing you a speedy recovery (as much as it can be)
I had a IRC VE33s on it for this. Used the same tire for my whole Oregon, Idaho trip this year. They work great and last long enough
At 6:18 Colton shows up like a mountain lion cat. That dude needs to chill in order for ME to look good. ✍️
He is on a whole different level.
Man, I thought I was having a hard time in Colorado over some of the high passes. I clearly have much to learn lol
Lots of hard times exist. They all look different for different people. Just keep challenging yourself and having fun
Colton Haker & his father has built trails, up were I ride in Northern California!
They are both great guys

Awesome ride, how many miles is it to the top?
I think it was about 14 or 18 from camp
Both a super long trail but definitely a good time
I rode/raced stuff like that in Colorado for 20 years and really miss it. Rekluse all the way!! I'll bet the "5" thumbs down people just don't know how to ride techi shit like this. Best exercise out there!!
I love the stuff but now way I’d want an auto clutch for it. To each their own
And there’s some guy emailing my work trying to get me fired over this saying we’re tearing up trails and not on the trail for some reason. He’s been sharing it around FB and I’m guessing he has 5 friends that gave it thumbs down
lol great ride, funny that people riding in the same group but representing different bike parts retailers 😂
We all have our companies that help us out
Doesn’t mean we can’t be friends :)
@@EverySingleSunday yes, awesome collaboration.
Impressive…
Thanks 😊

The new AT81 by Dunlop, gummy!
I like the AR81ex but it doesn’t last as long as a VE33S In my opinion. Still a great time
What computer r you running on your bike
TrailTech Voyager Pro
ohhh what a brutus......
Definitely an ass kicker 🤪
What route did you guys take down?
Saving that for another video :)
@@EverySingleSunday I look forward to seeing it! Just got back from Gold Creek. Can't wait to get back, hope the smoke clears up.
Great vid, never shows any justice to how knarly some trails actually are.
You said it man. Looks flat on here
To be honest... that did not look fun! Damn!
It was a good time but I’m a bit sadistic on the bikes
Hope all is well over there and that your lockdown isn’t driving you guys crazy.
@@EverySingleSunday Im in victoria, so we finished lockdown. It is just New South Wales now.
Glad to hear it man. Not sure how it feels there but here it seems like a giant scam and waste of time.
@@EverySingleSunday Feel free to email me if you want to chat about it. Im not discussing that shit in comments! Haha
😖🤕👍😎
:)
i live in cda like 30 mins away would you want to ride with me
got a xr 600
I live in San Diego. Otherwise I would be down
I'm guessing you sat down 90% of the time
Ya. It’s too hard to lay down while I ride so I have to settle for sitting/ hovering
@@EverySingleSunday lolol
