This is some footage I gathered from the first couple of rides on the new Gas Gas EC 300. I tried to put it through its paces in all sorts of different terrain to really get a feel for it. I've got a good idea now about what I need to modification wise to make this the ideal bike for me. I'll definitely but letting you guys know what I'll be doing to the bike in a video soon.
Your new bike is awesome! I started riding 18mos ago at 44yrs old, found your channel and watched all your instructional vids. At first the journey felt hopeless but I kept my chin up and kept trying. Today I'm actually a respectable rider and I owe you, traction erag and Barry a huge Thank You! I love this sport and more importantly love sharing it with my wife and 12yr old son who are also having a blast! I hadn't used my athleticism since high school, this sport makes me feel young again.
Congratulations on the Gas Gas. Your years of practice is showing in this video. Very inspiring, and good for you. I am watching this while being badly injured from just hitting a rock on a trail and getting off quite violently. Need to learn/practice more. Thank you, for all of your videos!
You're doing it well !! Good job on the logs.
Right on Meg !! Your one hell of a rider !!! Luv your new 300 !!!👍👍😎
Wow! Quite the Bike. Quite the trail. Quite the Rider! Go Megs!!!
Congrats on the bike! I'm new to your channel and I'm loving all the enduro tips!
I remember watching your channel a few years back and I was faster, and had a more diverse skill set. Now I watch you and you not only caught up to me, but you have progressed past me, and it's amazing! I love watching you progress, it's such an inspiration to me. Keep on killing it!!!!
Nice! No riding here in Alberta. Deep freeze again. MIserable. Friends just got back from Moab. Cannot wait for better weather. Have a great season Megan
Setup is looking mean! Well done!
Got the same bike and love it! Nice riding. Brap on!
awesome skill Megs
READY FOR SOME PLAY RIDING ON MY 2016 KTM 500EXC SIX DAYS EDITION .JUICES ARE STARTING TO FLOW .
Excellent Skills
You INSPIRE!
Just found your Channel, subscribed. Amazingly gifted rider. Thanks for the Tips.
Awesome, welcome!! Thanks so much for the support!
Well Done young lady. I think you need to do a GNCC or at the very least a TCCRA race. You're a Star!
You are awesome Meg’s. Brapppppppps
Nice...Tight.....looks great.
Excellent!
Wow, virtually no smoke. Great for people riding behind.
Looking confident 👌 😎
I'm new to dirt bikes, and wish I had the time to put in to get to 1/10th of your level!
Gawdamn, badass
Going over big logs is tough. I still can’t smash the rear wheel against the logs consistently. It’s all about timing.
Awesome footage, I need a camera crew.... and several thousands of hours more seat time on a dirt bike! :D
I feel scared for your elbows everytime I see you climbing a rocky trial :_)
I would have to agree. I always wonder how she tears it up with all the skin on her elbows every time. Good job Megs! Killer skills!
Very cool!! I think it's your best video yet. Great body position and body English shots repeating normal speed and slo mo, so easy to see position timing as well. Music and motor sound was a great balance.... you are intense...can sense you "pushing" into the terrain ahead rather than just "riding" it. :) riding one click out from 10/10 👍😎
body English shots ! repeating normal speed and slo mo ? ! 🤣😂🤓 ..
Where is that god awful dry dusty place? ;)
Come ride Gold Creek Lodge when things thaw out here.
Great skills - nice ride.
So why the EC300? Why not a Sherco, Reiju or KTM? Just looking for opinions. Im in the market for a lighter bike. I use a 2018 KLX250 for easy enduro but Id like to start getting into more technical riding here in AZ and dont really wanna take a 300lb bike. Love your videos. Those AZ videos are sick!
I originally chose the EC because they’re a little cheaper. I would prefer a TE because it had a heavier flywheel and I like the chassis better, but they were none available anywhere at the time. I wanted to stick with the KTM/GasGas/Husky platform because I really like their counterbalanced motors. They vibrate way less than all the rest which is good for me because I have bad carpal tunnel.
You are quite an inspirational rider , even for men's ! Congratulations !
I in one of your video you mentioned that you lowered this bike about 1 inch . Is this 1 inch really noticeable and helpful for you ?
Or would you go even lower instead , like 1.5 or 2 inches ?
What's your Inseam if you don't mind I ask ?
I have 30 inch Inseam and I am thinking to send my suspension for lowering. I would more than grateful for your response please ?
Thank you for the kind words! Yes, the one inch of lowering helps me quite a bit. If you go any more than an inch, you’ll start to notice the loss of ground clearance and it’s not ideal. My inseam is 29 inches.
@@megs_braap Thanks for quick reply !
Luk mxtr No problem!
Please post details when you make the flywheel mod. It will be interesting to know if that cures what ails it.
Idle screw mod 15 bucks will help huge. If not happy get rk teck head after that. The low end pick up grunt is a huge gain
@@jonathoncatterson8901 @Megs Brapp Very cool suggestions... I hope Megs sees your comment. It's interesting that she has noticed such a big difference in power delivery compared to the Husky. It will be even more interesting to see if that can be remedied.
🥰
Is your bike lowered or stock height?
Vc anda bem,vc da coro em muito homem aqui no Brasil
😘❤️🇮🇩👍
Megan, at some point as a topic you should discuss the pros and cons to wearing wrist and elbow/arm protection as I see others have made that comment in being surprised you don't wear any arm protection. I have only assumed due to lack of agility with the gear on you typically do not but have seen some cringe video's of guys in Colorado having a wipeout and to see the persons wrist broken that is wearing the cam and the sound of extreme pain, its a hard watch !
I don't know about wrists, but I sleeve up and
wear lightweight, softshell elbow pads and knee pads all the
time now. I fall, lol, I get up, no worse for the wear.
A tiny fall or scrap against branches and brush with
bare skin is bleeding time for me, with just that little
bit of protection, I'm assured 80% plus reduction in
minor injuries. I'm in AZ hotter than Haitis half the year,
I don't mind wearing the gear much anymore, not compared
with the alternative.
@@bikersoncall I am from far far north of you in northern Alberta and for the most part we don't typically get anything too insanely hot although last summer we had a major heat wave come through that broke historic records. However years back I had been in Arizona a couple of times, tombstone ... Phoenix area etc during the middle of winter and will say your winter weather is like our summer weather in that part of AZ, and flagstaff like a warm winter day here. On another year I was through flagstaff during the summer and ultimately drove through Death Valley and it was 118f and with a high wind. That would be much like your southern AZ summer time and all I can say is holy hell !, I wouldn't be out on a dirt bike in that period LOL. Without having megs skills to say the least I would have to be wearing a full body cast to even dream of riding through the rock garden, and would have to be cool weather so I could survive in my severe body armour.
@@charlesb4267 118 is common here, and
yeah, death valley is smokin' hot. We
routinely get 125f days in the summer,
sweltering. You just get used to almost
not being able to see for the sweat
streaming down your sunglasses, lol,
it does get miserable at times.
@@bikersoncall Then you must really be in the south to get routine 125 days, one thing is a given, you don't have problems mosquitoes as you have a natural bug zapper beaming down at you from the sky. I think its a horrible hot day if it gets above 80 here and can't physically work out in that temp. 60 to 65 is my go to temp, not too hot, not too cold LOL.
@@charlesb4267 We don't get mosquitos
every year, but sometimes in October,
they are thick as fleas, lol, actually there
are no fleas here, Ca was full of them, but out here, they just don't exist.
Hell yeah why don’t you hit a few races
This in TX somewhere?
I thought the same. It looks like Tripple Threat at Bulcher, maybe... possibly the Texas Stadium section. Though there are a lot of sections like that at TwinHills, too. 🤔
