- Can a 160 lb guy on a KLR handle slickrock like a boss? Well, if it's Jesse from GeoMoto on Jeff Emig's KLR650 from last year, then YUP! Join us for the first day of adventure through Moab, Utah. We rode SlickRock trail, then headed up Potash Road to the Shaffer Switchbacks on the White Rim Trail. It was an amazing way to start out a week full of incredible riding!

MORE!! Holy shit man... That was probably the coolest looking trail I've ever seen... You're probably the only person in the world that could make a guy from the tropics want to visit the desert...
I'd go with you xD.no desserts in Japan xD
+shadetree surgeon I can literally vouch for that last sentence! :p
+minitstop not only can you vouch for it, you have footage of it!
I shared the video to my facebook and my whole crew is already making plans to rent a sprinter and make the journey out there haha
+shadetree surgeon Thanks for showing me this! America has such beautiful landscapes!!
I rode the Slick Rock trail many years ago and I was harassed by cyclists. I get it. They want it just for bicycles. I was riding a Suzuki DR 650. I personally found the experience daunting. On a smaller dirt bike it would have been really fun. The trail was beautiful. I will never forget it. Thanks for doing this. I really enjoyed watching someone ride it well.
My dad has been out there multiple times for rides with friends... One of these times I'm going to join him out there. It looks absolutely amazing!!!
+Freespiritphil You won't regret a moment of it! It's some of the most amazing terrain I've ever seen!
Oh man ! Those were epic trails.. Never even noticed the video quality. I was to busy drooling over that epic scenery.
+BellOnWheels The Slickrock trails truly are some amazing terrain!
hey there! im in military right now and was watching ur clips just to take my head away, tho you just made me feel like i was traveling with you guyz. Amazing work. You have inspired me, thank you so much.
I knew this series was going to be legit! cant wait to see the rest of the footage
the camera shots were great, everide. No need to apologize. Keep up the great work, please.
That was both entertaining and very informative.
(and BEAUTIMOUS ! ) ... SAVED to my ADV play-list.
+phrankus2009 Thanks Frank! :D
Yeah buddy. Always enjoy these videos.
Mmmm, gotta get that one knocked off the bucket list.
This vlog was just sexy, and that slowmo was sick please keep these vids coming now I know my garage needs a dual sport.
+Azkafen ALL garages need dual sports! ;)
I love the disclaimer intro. Also I will definitely add this to my moto bucket list. Another great video!
+Kevin Faul Thanks Kevin!
Awesome! More... More... More... Spread that adventure addiction.
+Pastor Bug I'm trying! :D
Reminds me of when we rode the practice loop at night with Jae and Ben. Can't wait to get back there!
+Dr. Dual Sport When I ride that loop in the daytime, it makes me think of how crazy it was to do that in the night, especially when Jae's light wasn't working! Someday we'll do this again :)
I have a phone interview for a job in Ogden Utah tomorrow afternoon I am hoping to get and I will admit being able to ride in great place like this and maybe go to St George and ride some trails with you is one of the big incentives for me haha. You have some Great trials out here man, keep up the hard work! Here south east where I am currently there is hardly anything. All Private land.
+Royce Blankenship (Bad Attitude Aviation) Good luck on the interview for sure! Ogden is a ways away, but still within striking distance of some amazing adventures!
Thanks man. Well, I got the job will be in Ogden beginning of October. Yeah but still closer than Florida haha. Heck yeah, other than flying will be on the KLR on my time off haha. Good luck with all that rain in south Utah on the news be safe!
Woah man that was a great view and informative. The trailer hyped and Ep01 delivered :)
+regulardan I certainly hope the next vids in the series will deliver!
Balance City O B Wan ! Great trail bike vids and good grip on sandstone ! Even a lighter 125/250cc up there would be a fun run through !
Oh baby!! Time to go back!!
+MrDuhfactor Yeeeeah! Now you're talking!
For sure... Done it many times on my mountain bike... Now I'm aching to try it on my dual sport.
Wow! Just wow. Doesn't matter the quality of the video. Important is you been there.
That's simply stunning!
Thanks for sharing your rides Everide, what a great scenery! I like the pro style of your vids :)
GREAT footage! Well done. Can't wait for the rest
The KLR was an excellant machine, took 1 from the UK to Istanbul, and back to Dublin Eire, 4mths 8000mls, through France,Switzerland,Italy, Greece, Turkey.
The views from that Potash Road are awesome. I'm thinking about a trip this year, and that sure looks like a good choice. :)
awesome shots from the drone man!
Great video. Keep up the great work. Love you videos.
They called that type of rock as slick from back in the days of iron wagon wheels. Hard rock and hard steel = low traction.
That was an excellent video. Thanks.
+wd40 ducttape You're very welcome, sir! I'll be making a video (or at least publishing a very long blog post) soon that recounts my first year of trying this whole thing professionally. I hope you don't mind that I mention you as a big part of what kept me going.
That is an amazing video, can't believe how beautiful the scenery is. Looking forward to more :-)
+Mark Gunnison Someday we'll have to get you out here to St. George and Moab and enjoy some of this wild rocky riding :)
I'm gonna have to take a road trip there from Alaska were I live! That looks way to much fun! Eeveride what was your thoughts of that q4 exhaust on the klr you were ridding with? I'm debating if I wanna go with be fmf power core 4 or the q4. I know there's a noise difference but I'm after power. Thanks
+Quinn Whisnant I'm not really sold on exhausts for the KLR. To me, it's more of a tourer and having a loud pipe on a long ride isn't my thing. However, I won't lie at all, that KLR sounded GREAT! :)
another great video !
this video always gets me out of a funk!
How would a supermoto do on the slick rock trail? I might just have to make a trip down there soon!
+NoEasyDay Gaming Actually a SUMO would do quite well on the slickrock trail, just have to mind the sandy bits inbetween the sandstone!
Video on your drone set up and follow feature please !! Considering one and wanna know a little more before I throw down all that cash! Awesome shots on this one man!!
+theworldisyours The stinky of the situation is that the follow-me on the Iris+ never worked for me because the range was too weak. I'll give it a shot on the Phantom 3, though!
There has got to be a career in this for you. When are you going to set up a tour company? Amazing video and thank you for it!!!!
+VeeDubJohn Thanks Jon! Yeah the career stuff is coming up... it's already working, but just barely. Soon, though, I hope to live a normal life from making these videos and doing moto stuff :)
You the man!! God Bless!!
+The Steel Horseman Thanks so much sir!
The camber and switch backs on those rocks! Another great vid mate, was too busy vicariously pooping myself to notice it was 480p
+chroniclesofsolid Hahahahah! No lie, I've vicariously pooped before, too! hahahahahha :D Thanks for the laugh, sir :)
Very Cool Vid
Utah is just amazing. Thank you for the video just living vicariously through your desert footage!
minute 1:09 you said 480P 240 frames per second, I thought that should be 720P, my AS15 does 240 FPS at 720P, the as-100 doesn't!?
+Vegas RoManiac I think it's 240 at 480... at least that's what I was recording in :)
I dont mind the lower quality or the shake. To me, it just adds a little bit of realism. As always, great job, sir. Love to see the results of your labor. Wish I could enjoy some of the fun you're having making the video. LOL
+b1pig Hahhaha yeah it's definitely a good time!
Wow! One of the best videos I have ever seen. Wish I can try a trail like this sometime...
It looked great! Love your stuff man! Ride on with no apologies!😀
Ride on my Brothers! Cheers;)
PIcking up my drz this saturday! SO Pumped!
+andy s Woohoo! You're gonna love it!
How well did it last
wow! I'm going! every time you make a vid of that area I want to be there! yep going
+DRZcoffeegirl Ride You're going to love it!
Beautiful video dude! I still have yet to do Slick Rock Trail. I have had a blast on fins and things, but that one and Hell's Revenge are on my short list. No matter what the video settings, that was awesome and thanks as always for making great content for us all to enjoy.
+ColoradoDualSport Well man, Moab is a great place to meet in the middle! We WILL ride this together sometime soon, eh?
Dude, that was EPIC! I need to get out there someday... I also need WAY more riding time before I'd feel comfortable. I'm setting a goal of September 2016
Loving every minute of this! Hope to make it out there next year. Thanks for the sneek peek!!
I wonder if old school Dunlop K70s would work out there... www.britcycle.com/Products/555/tyre_K70_f.jpg
By the way Tyler, next time you plan on coming out to California yet le know, you seriously need to experience the Sierras and I can definitely hook you up with some good on road sections.. and maybe a little dirt.
+OtisENGINEuity That would be amazing! Yeah just about any tire could make this, as long as you can get through the short sandy sections.
eveRide ADV yet le know? wtf? *let me know
holy hell typing
Talk about a home run. You nailed that video. Love the Phantom footage. Once you upgrade to the p3 you will be able to do the follow me, and poi features.
+Hobbz-Garage This one is actually an Iris+, but the Phantom is on its way! The Iris has some good follow modes etc, but when it was released it was fairly new tech, so I've never reliably flown it like that. I'm hoping the P3 makes up for the tech!
I can't wait to see some vids with it. The mountains here make it hard to use the follow me.
Wow wow wow wow...oh and double wow! I am always blown away by the area and these vids you put together...loving the drone action! =0)
If this is the bad footage the rest must be unearthly. Beautiful scenery and not a bad couple of warm ups...fantastic.
Man does that look like a blast! A possible Bucket list in some October in the future! Thanks for the Post Tyler. Cheers!
Crap! I saw Potash rd when I was there in June/July. Now I regret not taking it. Bummer
I can't wait to go back to slick rock/hell's revenge and damn and things and stuff and ermagersh! This is a sick video, bro!
+minitstop Dude we are going to do a route from STG to Moab with EVERYTHING in between. We're going to need a few weeks, but honestly man, it will NOT disappoint!
+eveRide ADV I don't know if I can swing a few weeks especially if Barnes comes with. We'll see. Iwannamoto. Hard.
28,492 subscribers! your numbers will surely go up with this video series! congrats on the success Tyler!
I think the drone didn't hinder the view out the back that much at all. Gave the shot a little character, shall we say. As for the 480p video, it still looked very good. That area is epic - amazingly beautiful. I need to start visiting Moab and the places around there, just looks insane. Looks like a great place to ride.
Awesome video! I have to say that you deliver a really good quality videos! Keep up the good work!
I thought you video was great. What camera are you using?
+stroln Thanks! I'm using a Sony as100v :)
Ok... now I am REALLY itching to get over there and explore Utah. Jordan ( +JgavemeaDRZ ) and I are ready to make a trip that way soon!! (look on your FB for a PM!!) As always... Great video!
+TWiGs ADV (Chris) Hopefully during cooler weather, if at all possible... :) lol..." that's just a pucker factor right there!" And I agree... fantastic edit as usual!
+JgavemeaDRZ I can't wait to finally meet and ride with you guys!
eveRide ADV I am pretty dang stoked about the whole thing myself!! Will be my "farthest" ride from home for me so far. Haha
+eveRide ADV +TWiGS ADV (Chris) Dudes, I can't wait! Haha, I feel like its gonna make me want to move though!
HAHA we stayed at the lazy lizard as well.. It was an adventure
+joshua mosley Always a good time at the LL. Seriously, beats the heck out of any hotel!!!
What an excellent video EVERIDE!!!!
+Florida Outdoor Adventures Thanks so much! :D
Wow - what an amazing ride! One day I hope to get to ride some place like that, stunning videography, thanks for taking the effort to film, edit and port...."much love, TMF out!"
+TheMissendenFlyer Thanks so much! Sub'd to your channel and happy to see great stuff!
+eveRide ADV Wow, thank you, I'm very excited - eveRide (one of my fave UA-camrs) has subscribed to little ol' me - thanks a million!! :0)
Great bikes. Being 6-4 190ish, these are the two bikes Im looking to upgrade to. From what I can tell the DRZ is mostly unchanged. Are there any years that are better than others. Any years that are lower in quality? Also, any KLR 650 years better than others. Used budget will be around $3000. THanks for the input!
The “Crux”, or as I call it “My personal nemesis”, it not immune to ultra off camber slides. One time, on my old 525SXC, I thought I finally had that downward curve mastered, when my rear tire lost traction and slid down into that pothole. Worse: Hot mountain bike chicks watched me!!!! Nooooooooo!!!!!
I’ve done that ride so many times now, and that tight off camber double turn still infuriates me.
Reverse direction? Just go straight up the hill and rejoin the trail on top.
Well Done! Fantastic Video! Thanks For Sharing!
absolutely stunning views. I wish we had riding like this in Australia! But that just means that I'll have to make a trip to Moab! Haha!
+kennyraceboy Now you're talking! Moab should not be missed... it's definitely bucket-list material!
We went out there from NC in July with our DIY RV/ toy hauler and took our two XT 225's and had an absolute blast! We did Fins-N- Things, Shafer trail, onion creek, Monument Valley and Valley of the Gods. It inspired me to make my first UA-cam videos because everyone should see this place. I can't stop thinking about it, we want to go back so bad! Don't wait just do it!
+Misty Varner Ohhhhh that itinerary sounds amazing! I haven't even seen some of those places, yet!
good stuff
Amazing scenery,but REGIMENTED trails follow the white line ? Who in the hell spoilt the landscape with that idea ?
very cool,I am going to be there someday, thanks for the video, cool,
Great video brother
Each of your videos get better & better. Great filming. Keep em coming
I stayed at that same hostel last year on my solo trans America trail trip on my 15klr. Where I actually replaced my low beam light in the parking area under the single tree. But that was my first stay at a hostel and will be my last too! Thanks for some of the best dual sport footage and bike reviews out here!
That turn is no joke. The first time I rode it on my Beta 300 RR I slide it out... Nailed it after that... GREAT trail!
That was amazing! Absolutely stunning scenery and fun terrain. It did look very hot though! Oofdah!
Dude your videos just keep getting better and better. Very professional even with the camera issues. Your narration & edits rival Discovery Channel and Nat Geo!
+gncc1race Hahaha thanks! That's quite the compliment, but I'll take it! :D It's fun to put a lot of effort into these videos and come out with something I'm happy with.
just as your handle bars and your front headlight shroud give a sense of perspective in the framing of your front facing shots, the rear facing shots weren't too over-crowded by the drone ,and they did eliminate the floaty flighty feel a video can get without anything to reference the framing off of. not too ruined I'd say. As for the 480p, its as smooth as silk which makes up for the lower resolution, but being on youtube, its great for Theatre view. maybe a slight bit of pixelation in full screen, but its fine for regular viewing . that slow-mo is freaking fantastic looking, the dust swirling like smoke- that's awesome; and the color is fantastic, was that post edited?
what always brought me back, and still brings me back, time and time again, is you know when to change the shots and the camera footage to keep the attention of the viewer and keep the visuals as engaging as the dialogue. That gets coupled with your knack of showing that parts about adventure riding that usually doesn't get shared or recorded (putting on a hot sweaty helmet, ah yes, i know that one!) that just brings a sense of genuine and actual truth feeling that I love about your content. can't wait for more videos, as always Tyler, great video, keep 'em coming! you're getting better with that drone too!
+Cole Knowles Hey thanks Cole! In future videos I hope to get more of the personal side of the adventures. I usually don't keep the camera on for those moments, but I'm realizing that they're some of the best ones :)
Rode this trail on mt. bikes a number of times in the 1990's. No way I could do it now that I'm old and fat.
Great riding guys! This video is definitely tempting me to bring the club out to visit...
+California Dual Sport Riders Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes.
Hi Tyler! Loved the video man! great job... Do you have any video reviewing the gear and tech that you normally use to vlog? You should do a quick review about the cameras that you use and the best settings to go according to the enviroment that will be visited! how about that idea for the next video? :P
+LeoCalde I like it! I've got a few in the bullpen but that's coming soon!
Great idea with the markings. Fantastic scenery :oD
just have to say: I realy wonder I try making good video's when you guys makes them like this...?
This is just AWESOME to watch! thanx
+Rune Holthen Any video is a good video... my videos are pathetic when compared to truly professional productions like Moto 5 etc! I get inspiration from those!
+eveRide ADV
well...I would say your videos are quite over a average video-making geek as myself...
anyway: keep up the good work!
Tyler, you keep upping the ante of your adventures! Great scenery, pleasant narration and useful information for newbie and seasoned rider, alike. You and Dave at MAD TV are setting new standards for vlogging creativity and quality.
+osimnod Dave at MAD TV is my hero! They make some incredible stuff!
Oh man that was sweet! I have wanted to do slickrock, Hells revenge , and Fins n Things on my KLR. We just always seem to end up on Potash road for some reason. Keep up the good work.
+Gunner40Five Potash road is one of those overlooked gems that's just a great (and relatively short) ride. I loved it!
The video does not do that switchback justice. Really makes you pucker up.
Just incredible! I was wondering if you used the oversized petrol tank?
What an amazing video! I've always gone the other direction, and end up going down the switchbacks, which is easier, but then I have to go up that one big ledge... which is harder :D
+The FLB Club Yeah it's a technical trail any way you slice it!
Amazing! I've said it before and I'll say it again, Utah is tops on the bucket list for riding! Nice Vid!!
+MOTO JET I don't say it to everybody, but of all the West Coast states I think Utah is my favorite, and not just because I live here. There's really no place like it!
everide - thank you for sharing your adventures! I have been watching for awhile now and this is by far my fav of yours.
I have been looking for awhile and really want to get into some Adv riding here in tx. it is because of your videos that I will be getting the klr. I want a good commuter bike so wanted something a little bigger bit also want to be able to pack it up and find some trails and camp sites. thanks again! awesome videos bud.
+Guy Ault The KLR is a great bike! In Texas, I've heard the Roll the Bones rally is a lot of fun and a great way to meet other riders! Good luck and here's to many happy adventures!
I mountain biked that trail years ago and destroyed my bike! This makes me want to try it again on something more sturdy.
dang!
The Utah Tourism Board needs to pay you for such a great advertisement. My jealously continues....
+Steven Pelayo I certainly wish they would! hahaha :D
This is super cool. Didnt know you could take dual sports on bicycle trails =D
Great stuff. Can't wait to see the hole Emig ride.
Those dang Sony Action Cams... haha. It looks great Tyler! No worries! Great job, looking forward to more!
+AimlessMoto Ah man I was recording how fast my wife's hand was at one of those speed card games before the trip, and forgot to change the settings back!
Hahaha... dilemmas.
once again, you show why I subscribe to your channel. well done. you and CDS must have gone to the same school of how to do a good video.
+michael adams Thanks man :)
Wowsers...that is breathtaking! Great video!
great video my friend :) those shots from drone are best :)
Awesome video as usually Tyler! Incredible landscapes scenery! Loved seeing a KLR on those types of trails. :)
+addie750 Yeah that KLR can seriously handle about anything!
