Looks like a lot of fun! That "Tillotson bush" skit gave me a good laugh. 🤣
Man. I NEED oxygen now after watching this one. I've been "at altitude" before in Colorado. If you haven't, you have no idea how fast you get out of breath and exhausted. Brutal episode, to say the least. Kudo's for taking it on and getting through it successfully. One more check mark off the bucket list.
Thankfully I live at 8,700 feet so Im not affected.But when I go to sea level everything requires no effort
I was skiing at copperhead and brekenridge and partying in boulder and Denver and didn't really notice it.
I suspect I'd have a better time at it than I thought previously, but I know I'd have to stop often to bring my blood-oxygen back up kinda like Ike there. Did you know if you breathe shallow and rapid and then slowly raise the depth of each breath while maintaining the rapid cadence you can spike your blood-oxygen? It might not help that much at high altitude, but I heard you can do that at low altitudes while crouched for a couple dozen seconds until your nerves are tingling and then suddenly stand up to cause a blackout through something called Hypocapnia, the co2 level in the blood is so low it constricts brain blood vessels and so you black out until things normalize, its due to something called the Bohr Effect, with co2 too low the elevated oxygen affinity of hemoglobin means, ironically, that the oxygen doesn't make it to the brain cells, the higher the co2 the better it can ferry o2 to cells, too much means there is no o2 at all, too little co2 means all that o2 is useless, so you recover by basically not breathing out any co2 until the balance returns. Funny how that works XD
Why in the flying frig did I go on a tangent about oxygen highs when I started on high altitude stuff? Why, brain? y u do dis
@@high-octane-stunts86 Eh, I went back to re-read the part of a story I read it first from to find the terms used, then I went over a few different articles, I think a couple from PubMed and whatnot and a few Wikipedia ones on Hypocapnia, also called Hypocarbia, where it conveniently brought up the article on the Bohr Effect just as was brought up in-story by the agent in question, looked at hyperventilation and breathing techniques that I remember and use when I feel like it would help, and oxygen toxicity. I do this kind of thing worryingly often, just prowling and absorbing swaths of data for a comment only to forget most of it after a couple of hours XD
So, what, 20 minutes or so to research it, understand it and compile my comment? Hence my wtf at the end lol
its a shame that Charles had mechanical issues..looks like he was having a blast..those little boost cans do work for high elevation ..what a great trail ride with the boys from GPS..keep sendin it boys..poor Charles seems to have my luck..lol
SO glad y'all added Charles to the gang. That dude is cool!
Full size dirt bikes fly over all that stuff with ease, but I am impressed any mini bike can do it! Great riding, and a fun challenge, guys.
So did Isaac’s shirt shrink due to the lack of oxygen? 😂
I can't stop laughing about this comment the further into the video I get...🤣
When they told him to "let it all hang out", he took it literally instead of figuratively.
how the MTDs tires held out is a miracle, the sidewall cracks were something else and that was before you even started
Ikes outfit needs to be the Carsandcameras official uniform. Awesome one guys, 40 minutes long and I watched it twice!
Add an Ike sports bra and glue on 70's sideburns to the merch store.
I had the MTD (branded “Columbia”) with the 4 HP Tecumsah + torque converter and chrome fenders on a red frame. Great fun. I had cracks in the same location - - twice re-welded. I loved it!
Ikes side-burns, night at the roxburry haircut and belly shirt had me rolling so hard. I fucking love you guys. Please never change. 🤣
I wonder who gets Ike to dress that way. I wouldn't have the balls to do it, but he makes it work for the channel.
@@DaroffApFire This is the first time I ever saw him dress like one of the retro Village People.
@@larrycarlston4044 He's had that shirt on a few times before with the riding gear, but it was riding up pretty high this day. haha
Gotta be the luckiest trip ever, a Tillotson bush and a Juggernaut tree all on the same mountain , that’s crazy , unheard of 😂lol🤙🏼
I just love your attitude. It fits my mindset perfectly. I passed my big bike test in the UK back in June 2015. Bought a Yamaha mt07. Then started buying a house in Corfu Greece. In January 2016 I had to get from the UK to Corfu to sign for the house. No direct flights at that time of year. So I decided to do my first big ride. My best mat who has had bikes since his teens, and rides Harley's etc, said "How are you going to do that? You've only had your big bike licence 6 months." I replied "Keep heading south." It worked. 3000 miles through Europe. Brilliant thing to do in my 50s. I'll be 60 this year. I'm starting to think I want to do the trip in reverse on something like a 50cc. Just to make it even more of an adventure. The Alps could be a problem though. It'll be fine!!!
Power to you guys.
You guys are awesome and this was great. I loved the funny joke about a Honda dirt bike having a hard time on that trail. ;) But for real it was awesome that you guys made it, way to persevere!
Charles was truly a decent sport about the bum chain issue. Have to say though y’all are so funny, just a good bunch of dudes.
Man you guys are awesome! I have had mini bikes my last was a wolf spyder such a cool mini had tons of doodle bugs still have one with a Honda 200sx motor in it but my brother messed it up. I'd do anything to have another mini again but kids , wife ,life lol. You guys keep Making awesome content, I'll keep watching. Much love!
Those 200sx Honda engines are fun and more than enough power for a min bike.
I assume you got down the hill okay, but looking at that tire on Ike's bike, I'd have been looking for a rubber tree. I think my old XR350 R would rock that trail with my feet on the pegs, but it's hard to see the actual grade on camera. Beautiful views no matter how you get there!
5:05
I had no idea there were both standard and metric adjustable wrenches! 🤣
That was an epic mission fellas and a great vid 🤘🤘
This reminds me of an anime I watched last year called Super Cub. In episode 5 one of the protagonists tries riding her Cub to the top of Mt. Fuji. It had been done before by a guy, but she wanted to be the first woman to do it. I got some of the same "Ganbare, you can do it!" vibes watching this. Thanks for the entertaining video. I wonder if I can grow one of those Tillotson bushes in my backyard? I suppose you need really iron rich soil for them. 😸
Great video. Ike sporting the crop top was peak alpha daddy vibes. Brutal trail conditions. Totally need a properly built set up to make that enjoyable. Glad you all made it through safe. Looking forward to mini mayhem.
great video i been roaming the woods off and on i have never found a till0son tree i laugh so hard that video was great do more of those types videos show how tough those bikes are great job
Hell Yah Brother. Can’t wait to see a collab with all of you guys over at the freedom factory. There’s a bunch of dirt and grass to be torn up as well as the track itself. It would be an amazing weekend event
Man I was feeling for ya. I did something like this last summer on a Baja-Tilitson 212 Stg 1 NOT at 10,000 ft. It was REAL rough with NO rear suspension. Rocks and sand were my mortal enemy. Oh, and I was 62yrs old. Yall killed it! That was a FUN watch!!
@@bpagan7781 it's a scam brother, don't fall for it...they're on every channel and none of them are the actual creators...
I love you guys! Keep up the amazing work !
What a wild trail! Another great video thank you.
I'd like to see Go Power Sports work with Lectron on a deal for carbs for the 212 and larger engines. With their carbs, we wouldn't need to worry about re-jetting for changes in elevation. If Lectron already has one that would work or designed one for these engines, I'd buy them.
I’d have to disagree John I could rip those trails up on a Honda xr 100 or 200 but yea those little mini bikes will beat you down on tough trails like that 👍🏻👍🏻 two thumbs up for a hella hard ride boys.🤙🏻
Poor Ike he ain't used to the altitude 🤣🤣 I live in the high mountains of the Rocky Mountains it ain't no thing for me. Oh and that Boost oxygen works great! I keep a couple cans in my pack and bug out bags. We have the occasional low oxygen days and I use it a lot. Glad y'all had fun in the high country..
it sucks when you're not used to it, you inhale but it feels like you can't inhale enough haha. i wonder if there are breathing issues when you drop in altitude.
@@ducttapeandwrenches you can experience altitude sickness. It can happen when you go up or after you've come down. I've had it before and it sucks bad. And you're exactly right it sucks trying to breathe and it seems like you can't get enough oxygen. When we have storms moving through sometimes it'll push the oxygen further down the mountain to the valleys and all us up in higher altitude can't hardly breathe. It wakes me up in the middle of the night sometimes. Scary. The high mountains are no joke. It took me a couple years to fully adjust to it.
@@prophez23 I've had it only going up in elevation. When I went to the mountains in Tennessee I got it a little bit but I think most of my problem breathing was the humidity haha. That feeling must be awful to wake up to.
the rokon would have been a beast on this!
More Chuckles ! Thanx! & sure glad y'all read up on the local fauna, & edibles too, I suppose, lol! Was out there backpacking in '74, up to 14,000+, sure wish I could see more of it again... Guess ill just enjoy your yearly videos, Thanx !
At 3:11 Charles pulls off the joke of the day ... "two mufflers does not make dual exhaust"!
North Carolina boys achieve a full engine swap with just vice grips and a rock.
OMG I so love Charles being a part of y'all. Hehe, that boy is funny as h.ell.
single letters on the t-shirt are more comfortable than a 26" circle with all the printing on top , because that style of t-shirt creates a hot and sweaty spot
Man I gotta go to America, adventures like this are the stuff of dreams for me but they're hard to come by here in the tiny UK.
We all saw it, 👀 we all seen it to. Yes, issac almost died. Out of shape for sure, a GYM is calling all three of you guy's name. Love ya'll guys so much.
They maybe need to go to the gym but maybe an english for non english speakers class would do you well.
crushing bone is cool but crush a book my friend, jesus christ.
Over hills,and through the dales...Go Powersports never fails!
What are the odds of them being able to find a right Tillotson tree just happened to have a 212 ripe for the picking what a huge coinkydink LOL
That's a bit more of Ike than I was prepared to see this early in the week.
Ike is channeling is inner Gwen Stephani in this episode. Also, there's no such thing as a tree that creates an engine. That comes from being under immense pressure in the rock for millions of years before being exposed to the light when the rock eroded. Science!
Ike just lost his girlfriend. I wonder if his attire was part of the skit or is Ike showing a feminine side? Either way is cool with me as I had a good laugh watching this video.
This must be a regular event with more of your u tube friends what a blast !
I love this!! Many of us drive JUNK and it's a challenge every day... that's the fun of it!!!
18:26 Charles has definitely had a few bong hits before I'd say!
A little cheesey, but I liked the trailside engine swap.😆
It was a great episode, always love the content. Would love to meet you guys some day. Keep up the good work.
Need it while we’re pushing the bike…hahaha nice one John
"Car's and Camera's" needs to Market the "You gotta get it Running First"! T-Shirt...
I broke a collar bone riding one about that size like a long time ago.🤕 Way too little for me. Tecumseh for the win!
Ike with his midriff out like my 1999 prom date lol
The Tillotson bush had me rolling.
Yeah that looks very cool some pretty good Hills Hills
my dude ike never fails me with making me laugh . awesome job guys
This is one of my Favorite episodes !! .. I've been to Colorado , I know the effects of the Elevation , Beautiful place , I can't believe you guys did it on Minibikes .. 🤣👍
"I was trying to keep it slow because I didn't have my helmet on... but it just wanted to go" lol!!
Big ol bag of jerky is essential for any offroad excursion. 😆👍
Excellent video guy's....editing was very awesome....I'll bet u guys couldn't get out of bed the next day !!.... thanks for sharing !!
Yeah. It took me a month to adapt to the altitude when I lived in Colorado. Maybe longer. The headaches can be killer.
That Ollie character who stopped by at GPS had that same bike set up for dirt track. Tough bike.
Hello fellas, thank you for all the great videos, my wife and I really enjoy them! 😀
I was wondering if you could list the headset units you all are using on this trip.?
We live close to Roanoke and have tons of places to ride, and would like to talk to each other during our rides.
We’ve tried AirPods and other Bluetooth phone headsets and they were ok at best.
Thanks!
Thats the best thing ive seen ike wear
Cool ride ....All three of you guys need to invest in some riding boots.
Knowing that terrain is 10 times rougher in person than what it appears on a gopro, this ride had to be brutal. Good job guys!
Man… you guys are crazy doing that on mini bikes. I don’t think I’d do it on the mb200! Bust out the Kawasaki 2 stroke next year 😂
The problem I had with exerting myself at altitude was that I didn't realize how out of breath I was until it was too late. Then it is really hard to catch your breath once you are exhausted.
Sorry to be this guy. But you all should of when back when Charles turned around and went back not good to be a loan. Some times it accident's happen and you really HELP Quick . But great Video and some really nice view's
Great work guys, keep going, love ya.
Did Ike get Nature's Tramp Stamp?
Lower back sunburn from his crop-top. Colorado sunshine takes no prisoners.
Does Isaac's elevator go all the way to the top..I mean..look how he is dressed dude...
what kind of in-helmet communication do you guys use? Love the vid!
Congratulations that took a couple of days to get over the sore butt LOL from a old man who used to ride a lot
The Rockies - Land of the nervous sump pan . . . : )
Bro's, I grew up in the Sierras at around 5800 feet. I understand altitude. Hats off to flat landers who go high!
I think that's an old school 5hp Briggs! Veddy Noice!
Holy cow I fixed up one of those this spring. I put a Honda GX 160 and its a rocketship!
Look at this flex right here with that $74 package of beef jerky.
You could here the effects of the elevation in John's voice at 27 minutes in. Having asthma I feel your pain.
takes me back; i wish i never gave away my Rupp Scrambler mini bike. that thing had front and rear suspension with a Tecumseh 5 hp torque converter to jack shaft to chain.
lol that’s so funny…..I had that same exact MTD mini bike but in red….loved that thing…..got 34mph out of it when I was a kid
Charles sounded happy to turn back.
Lol i love you guys show up unprepared hardly no tools but still manage to have some fun 😄
Yeah the problem with the MB200 is that the chain tension changes based on where the rear sprocket is in the suspension travel, if you set the chain tension too tight your bike won't have any suspension and every bump will try to yank the crankshaft out of the engine, too loose it'll fall right off once the suspension lifts. There's a bunch of different solutions for adding a chain tensioner thankfully.
If the MTD mini bike is your bike when I got back to the shop I'd put the original engine back on it to see how it did on a hot lap .
This like Drag Week: suffering, enduring, and persevering in the name of "fun"! 😂
"I was trying to keep it slow because I didn't have my helmet on" lol!!
Really enjoyed the fruits from the tillitson trees
I wondered why y'all put the biggest guy on the smallest bike, but damn, Ike is just That Good! 😆
C&C: your place for mountainside engine swaps!
The crop top though! Looked like he belonged on step brothers!🤣😂🤣🤣😅
Looks like the places I mountain bike.. Guys! get more exercise.. Great show.. the most fun you have is when you don;t think you are.
Tires from the 80s being cracked out definitely checks out😂
You've got to believe it, yer lookin right at it.
i think its the best you have ever done, the tilletson bush did it, i was laughing for many minutes : ) i love you guys. best greedings from denmark
The struggle was real back In the day!
Damn, it’s important that we run over and through our bikes before we go on trips. New or not if the chain is loose it won’t last. Unfortunately Charles wasn’t able to make it to the top I can imagine the stress on top of the stress he has at home. You can only do your best.
Awesome video guys looks like a hell of a fun ride bummer Charles couldn’t make it to the top with use! Looks like you all had a great time though and that’s all that matters!!! Great video as always can’t wait for the next one! Oh I and please get poor Isaac a shirt that fits😳😵💫🤣🫡
GREAT VIDEO, STILL PISSED THE DRAG RAIL WAS SKIPPED AGAIN.
Cool video sucks charles had chain and or sprocket issues seems like the feller misses out on all the fun stuff
Please score some seeds from the Juggernaut tree and send 'em my way. We've built 6 minibikes and have exceeded the budget by a pretty wide margin, but could still use some things, the pulley being one of the important upgrades. By the way, have ya located any Hellcat vines? Great video guys, thanks for the giggles and smiles. :)
This was a brutal episode, but still one of the best days ever on the trail!
did ike walk out of a time machine from 1996 with his chain wallet those glasses hairstyle and puka necklace. he still listens to greenday dookie 100% and its hilarious
Ok Ok I have to say it WHAT were you thinking then I thought they must of lost a bet BUT best of all was the look on Izicks look face laughted my Ba%%s off . Oh now Ill watch the rest of video
Ike with his shirt
@@Mrcrowley1967
IZICKS? LMFAO... its ISAAC you dish towel
Awesome episode guys. Keep em coming
