Jeff, I love the trail/desert riding. The track is cool and all but I like the change for a little while. I know your roots are probably track riding but I think this trail adventure riding is pretty cool👍🏻
Oh yea and don’t forget to clean your air filter after😂

Where is this place at in CA
"Chance of dying off that is high"..........guy nails it smooth AF lol.

Enjoy your dirt riding times with your buddies. Someday you will find a girl, fall in love, have kids, and have grand-kids but the dirt biking passion never quite seems to leave your body. Then you get old and get a cruiser motorcycle and that kinda quenches the dirt bike passion just enough to keep you sane. Street riding while being fun is a poor substitute for the thrill of dirt riding. Dirt riding on new trails and through nature is like walking into wedding reception with lots of pretty girls and you are the only guy! I feel like that is why the supermoto line has steadily gained much popularity as riders are trying to replicate the dirt ride on the street. I would love to just take one ride with you guys.
If I could bring back one riding experience in my life it would be with myself and my buddy Tom. I was in 7th grade and he was in 6th. We had a massive snowfall in Michigan and then as we slept we had a very rare for Mid Michigan winter sleet storm. School was called off so I spent the night at his house. We stayed up late in his garage with a wood fired heater, radio playing country music because WPLB (the country giant) was the only station the old transistor would pull in out in the workshop but we didn't care. We knew all the rock and all of the country songs.
Spending time with your buds was made fun regardless of the task at hand. We heard thunder and looked outside after a couple of hours of being in the shop. Sometimes we would just sit around the fire and talk about the future ideas, girls, more ideas and more girls. Sometimes we would take an ax and split a piece of wood. Then take the half and split it again each time choosing the largest piece. Pretty soon we were down to a sliver of wood the size of a pencil and it was a fireside competition so to speak. Boys seem to always make a competitive game out of just about anything. As we looked outside we could see the old willow tree starting to strain from the ice that had slowly begun to collect on the branches. After a few days of zero degree weather and then light rain it is an amazing thing to see. We then lifted My Honda-50 C-110 model and his Suzuki 80 very similar looking up on the work bench. These were both scrambler motorcycles with a high pipes and some used knobby tires that we had purchased and put on. We adjusted the chain's cleaned the plugs, cleaned and adjusted the breaker points and timing. We checked the oil, made sure all the wiring was good tested the lights and topped off the gas tanks.
The next morning after breakfast and after bundling up in our snowmobile suits we went on a walk across the yard to the workshop. As you looked across the fields and woods the trees sparkled like diamonds in the sunlight. The willow tree had a massive branch broken off and was laying in the yard. sometime later Tom told me to take a small piece of that tree and stuck it in the ground in at my house so I did. Although neither myself or my parents still live there the now massive willow tree is still growing in the back yard.
As we walked away from beneath the trees the snow started to support our entire weight. We looked over at the 5 and 6 food drifts in his yard. Immediately with out saying a word we both ran over to the drifts. You could walk across the top of the snow like it was pavement. We walked up the side of the barn bridge hill across a massive drift. We could not believe our eyes as some snow drifts would be 6 feet deep had somehow overnight had been converted to natures pavement. The wind had blown hard a day or so before and created all sorts of mogels in the snow like a motocross track that had been ridden over a thousand times. However nature has a way of making everything very smooth but with a rough surface kind of like 5 grit sandpaper. Yes the ice was slippery but different from the ice on a pond. This was textured with little pencil eraser sized bumps that while being slippery still offered a fair amount of traction. The snow was so high that many of the drifts were above fences that divided the farmers properties so you could literally ride down the fence row until you saw a drift and then cross over to explore another huge area.
We rode the entire day, up hills, through swamps over the roads, Across the deep county drainage ditches snow bridges had formed so we even had the nerve to cross over one of them. We then went through the woods across ponds and into the little neighboring towns. It was truly one the most amazing riding experiences of our lives.
Later in life we both got into racing motocross and building our own AMA sanctioned track but that single day and very icy memory still lives deep within my soul. Unfortunately my buddy Tom passed on to the other side about 10 years ago so I only have like minded folks out there like you to share this memory with. So please keep these fun times in your mind as when you get old like myself your memories are very much like a valuable collection of precious gems.

Well, that makes it for todays reading, thanks i guess
Thank you for this, brought tears to my eyes
Thats depressing
Did anyone ask?
@@cameronnn6582 32 thumbs up that I had not noticed until I read your comment, thank you.
This stuff is what makes dirt bike riding awesome. I'm an ex pro AMA racer, now I'm 56yrs of age and this is my haven, love it, hope you enjoyed it also. It's a break from the normal grind of MX/SX which back in my day was a way to learn balance and flexability
This is awesome to watch! More Enduro:)!
Driften That isn‘t enduro!
This trail riding is sick you should do more
This is a certified “The Boys” moment
☑️ yes
Sooo true

This video gave me the biggest sense of nostalgia from when I used to ride in California
Cal City, Barstow, El Mirage...yes.
So much fun to watch! Can’t wait to see more 🤘🏻

There's no one out there, who wouldn't enjoy this video. To this 60-year-old grunt, it's strange not to hear that popcorn popper Melody of the two-stroke. This CRF tracted really good. I am impressed. Grew up in the Coachella valley, Southern California. Sea level, 3 to 5 years 0 precipitation. A motorcycle wonderland, now covered by suburbia. Only exist in my memory now. This place reminds me of McCain valley, same type of trails.
3:53 me and the boys driving up mount chilliad
Sam De jonge i was thinking that too🤣
😂
“I wish you guys could be here in person” that helped me really wanting to go... I’m in the uk
Hi from UK too. I'm in England 👍😎
Is that your car
same
Dude two days ago my sister took me to the Hoosier nationals over in Springfield Missouri. It was the best time of my life, I told my dad " I'm going to race." and I can't believe how much fun this really is. You are amazing.
THAT WAS SOOOO SICKKKKK
Love these kind of videos! Keep em coming
I love content like this. Me and my dad did this exact thing every weekend for years. It was kind of our ritual of special time together to enjoy nature, riding and making memories. Now my dad is in Heaven but at least I have the precious memories we made and I know that one day we will ride together again. He would of loved to get to ride at a place like this.
❤
I’m thinking that Jeff should get a enduro bike because he looked like he had a major blast
Just like 90% of moto riders. I love my mx but there's only so many times I can go around in the same circle until I get bored, enduro is always fun because the options are limitless!!!
That wasn’t enduro - that was just hitting a flat out hill...but yes he should definitely get into it
Jay Smokey soften the clickers (maybe dial the rear rebound up a hair) and practice that seat bounce! And you're good to enduro haha
That video does zero justice to how steep that hill is! We used to live out in Phelan and ride those hills all the time! Military moved me to Texas so thank you for posting this and bringing back good memories! 🤙🏻
I was wide eyed and giggling the entire time watching this video!..Thanks for sharing!
This had to be so much gnarlier in person than it looks on cam. Solid riding, you let her eat...
Dude watching you moto guys try desert riding for the first time is honestly so wholesome. Keep it up, it's fun, I promise! Plenty of that kind of thing to go around in the southwest.
Riding in Idaho was a blast. The hill climbs and scenery in the mountains will always be remembered.
Baldy Mesa Trails. I love that area 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Other people: those hills look like nothing!
Me: have you all forgotten the go pro effect
What’s the go pro effect
Exotiic Reflex lol
@@qtnv. it’s where everything looks half as big as in real life, those hills are double what they look like
@@cooper4956 oh ok thanks for telling
They make it look bigger than it actually is. If u say a car was really close, it seems super far in the gopro.
Magic white text: trying to stay as close to Tommy as possible
GoPro: My time has come
Seemed like you had more fun doing this ! The high desert of CA is the best.
Love the laid back, chill videos like this just as much as the training, wide open videos! I live in NC so I have live vicariously through y’all and them Cali hills! Haha!
I live in Delaware. Hahahaha. There's absolutely nowhere to ride here.
Dude, I know I'm two years late to this video, but holy f---. This was insane to watch, it's so cool knowing there are people out there living my dreams, it makes me more confident in being able to achieve them myself. You've got a great pack of friends there. All I can wish for in my future is a solid group of buds to do the stuff I enjoy with. You got a new sub hahaha, keep it real.
6:30 omg that hill is so big. 1 minute later “lets do it agin”😂 love this dude
This was such a pleasure to watch, I was grinning from ear to ear throughout the whole thing!
I wish we had places like this to ride in Australia...
Thanks for the awesome video.
I really like this video. I like the editing and how you showed the progression of how you were nervous at first doing the jump and hill climb and then became comfortable with them. I need a group of buddies like that.
As soon as you said, "Wish you guys could be here..." I was already saying it. I have never been to anywhere like that all thick forest up here. Looked amazing!!
4:56
I love the views that make you do a double take. Makes we want to ride more! Keep up the content
who else really loves the content this man can produce, it is crazy good
loved the content it’s pure your into wasn’t long and it’s enjoyable, and think you should definitely put together a compilation of you and your friends full send moments.
Do more of this please
This is so my day to day riding up in the hills
This is singlehandedly the greatest riding video on youtube, no competition.
If you ever ride the trails of northern Michigan you can find some pretty gnarly hills that take a few tries to get up. They're tight, steep, and super sandy.
This is the truth
Grew up in Mid Michigan and saw mostly flat land until i went to Atlanta, Gaylord, and the like. But when I moved out here to California, I was highly impressed, and it never gets old. always amazed.
With no half mile run up either lol
Not to mention Drummond Island, the whole thing is basically an ORV park
Anyone wondering this is Phelan California absolute blast to ride out there the hill climb everyone either calls widow maker or sand hill GoPro does no justice but it’s still not a bad hill super fun to ride
It totally is the Hill Climb in Phelan, Ca. Right off the 138. So many people have a blast on that ridge line.
Where can you park? I live kinda close and want to get out here!
@@noknownthrone2487 most people who ride there are locals and just take off from their houses but there isn’t really any parking just kinda park on the side of the road on Eaby road then take off from there
anyone calling that tiny hill climb "the widow maker" hasnt been to many other places
@@MrHippi1234 yeah lol, its a pin it and have fun climb, nothing crazy about it
This videos rocks no long intro , straight into the action
I had to sell my dirt bike tho when I was 12 I'm 14 now like I miss riding sooo Much 🥺🥺so thx for making these vids there the only thing that reminds me of how fun it used to be
i did the same thing. I worked really hard for a while. I am 28 now and just bought a new 450. dont give up
@@GordonTremeshko hahaha sad same here I saved up enough for a 250 race bike when I was 15 but was robbed now here I am at 31 years old, I finally got an 02 crf 450 hopefully you can do it quicker than we did, I finally get to start racing bikes next year at 32
Hey man, I'm 58 and still dig it. Work hard and save some money, and eventually you'll be riding again. The bikes nowadays are amazing. 👍
m almost 17 my father won't me even ride a fucking bike with his friend
be thankful kid
Finally got an 05 wr450f at 25 and a 98 blaster for the girlfriend. Youll be back on wheels eventually.
This was my back yard growing up its awesome to see how little its changed
Sa
Where is this??
This has got to be the best thing about dirt bikes. Being able to practically go out anywhere and explore. Nothing better than being in the middle of a dessert with your friends and tons of trails!
Screw hiking when you have dirt bikes.
And this is why riding dirtbikes is one of life's true pleasures.
This is my dream, to trail ride with the boys. That trail is beautiful
0:38 npc's in games when they stare at you
This might be my favorite video you’ve posted. Love the racing but this hits different.
Jeff: Rips every dirt in existence with his 450
Hill Climbs: *Scared Dirt Noises*
Watching this three years later and that was AWESOME. Great content!!
0:14 Oh he said "Have fun tanning", at first I thought he said "have fun panning". I thought he turned his girlfriend into a prospector in them there hills of California.
Moe howard lmfao
You callin' her a gold digger?!
I would so watch that show!
LOL, I thought he said "have fun canning!" I'm like, is she leaving to go can vegetables or something?
This was the only video I’ve fully watched In a while
I love riding out there! Phelan is one of my favorite places, that hill climb is what that ride is all about!
Hill climb! My backyard, I grew up riding the trails of Phelan and Oak Hills. Sweet footage Jeff!
loved it, you should do more of these kind of videos. that hill climb was sick.
The snow on the hill in the back... I love it
Me and my pops used to go there when i was a kid. Last time i went and climbed those hills was in 2013. Memories that will never fade. 🤙🏼
Yo where is this place at man if u know like what city
This is what true happiness is, you can just hear it in their voices. Can't wait to get my bike.
Did you get your bike yet? If so what’d u get?
These are definitely the kind of videos I like. I love exploring and finding new riding spots. Specially when you got a few friends to ride with. #KEEPONKEEPINGON!
I love watching this stuff. I'm 10 years old and I love motocross actually just got my 125 4 stroke Yamaha and love riding it!! ❤❤😄😄😄
how the heck do u fit on a 125 when ur only ten years old?
I grew up riding those areas. Baldy Mesa right off the 138 and the 15..
Is that where this is
Phelan up eaby Rd 🤙
I have been looking at going here, we usually ride johnson valley by the AMA national races, where do you find the entrance to Baldy?
Band of brothers living the dream.Cheers from Oz guys ;
THE MOST ENJOYABLE VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN
This is by far one of the best trail riding videos I have ever seen. Good stuff man.
Jeff!!!!!!
Please can you make more of these videos....i cant find anything like yours and this is literally amazing. I love the video so much !!!!!
so nice to see and very entertaining! like to see more of this. keep it up!! and stay save.
Who else wants a good place to ride with your friends
Who else wants friends?
@@GR-up7kt hahahaha
Literally any motocross rider’s dream trail
yooo this was sick!!!!!! i legit got nervous sitting in my chair the first time you went up the hill! what a narly and bad ass video Jwalk
Man, this is way toooo fun!!!! It makes me want to own my first dirt bike immediately!
오토바이를 잘 타는 사람만이 찍을 수 있는 영상인데 찰영한 분들의 수고 덕에 잘 보고 있음을 감사드립니다.
Thanks For This Video!
Bro when you start sitting down up hill climbs you know they are massive
I just recently moved to vegas from CT the trails out here re insane never in my life have i experienced such insane riding.
Malachi after I moved out west to Colorado from flat ass Southwest Florida my mind was absolutely blown with the potential riding terrain just five minutes away from my house. Mind you I haven't ever really seen actual hills let alone mountains in my life lol
Yup moving to Vegas from Chicago. Can't believe people actually like Chicago lol
Yeah there’s no place like the southwest.
I like how this video is not those videos where they talk for 5 minutes long just to explain the video. You go straight to it!
I'm nowhere near a good enough rider to do that but really enjoyed watching you guys ride!
"I'm just used to Michigan" I felt that😪😂
Loved it! I moved to the city for work and don’t get to rip much anymore. Thanks for taking me on a ride with the boys again!
Videos never do it justice, climbed a giant boulder with a lifted Rubicon, thing was much bigger than the Jeep and with a steep incline, it may as well have been a pebble I was going over in the video. Had other areas that were known to flip lifted vehicles, looked like nothing in the video.
Sick riding! Making look so easy, when it's actually not! Great skills.
*You guy’s were up there!!!* Nice job Jeff Skywalker
So sick Jeff! I'd love to shred something like this
This looks really similar to the trails we just hit in mammoth. We climbed up to 8500ft above sea level. Fun challenging riding for sure.
Know where there riding at exactly?
Awesome guys, thanks, I loved it.
Welcome to my backyard Jeff!
Edit: You need to be mindful about Red sticker riding in California. Fat tickets!
ngl one of the best riding vids I’ve seen in a minute 💯
Haaaa
Yo this stuff will never get old watching it and and just riding
When you’re out trail riding and come across 5 alpine star vans. This is the way
this is insane! i live in Dubai and I can ride in the desert but it is getting old, i would love to ride in a place like this!
you have to make more videos
Used to do this hill climb stuff in Bonnydoon in Austrailia...brought back so many good memories watching this guys!!
Shit makes me depressed bro 😂. Just knowing I won't be able to do any of this anytime soon let alone coming even semi close to riding a bike again... Not disabled just utterly financially incapable.
Bro Financially incapable is a vibe and it SUCKS
I thought I was about that street bike life, watching this one video has changed my entire life. I don’t want an R1, I want a fuckin dirtbike now!!!!
Sad man
I know what you mean but you could get a decent Chinese 250cc for 1500 new online. It’s relatively cheap for a dirt bike and for the price you get more than you pay for. The one that I have is a “hawk 250” and i love it. I can go riding off road like this and it’s also street legal.
im riding one today. because my friend has 3 of them, i only know 2 of them tho, and they are the honda crf50 and the hond crf80, the crf80 is the one im riding lol.
That’s my old stomping ground. First time I ever went down the big hill, I didn’t know it was there until it was too late. Way steeper than it looks on this video. Lots of good hits out there.
mike phinney where is this?
U and me both bro. We were hauling ass jus having a good ol time as we unknowingly crested the top and dropped down into it way to hot. That was probably 10 years ago and I still remember the way it made my asshole pucker. That's a bad ass spot to ride, alot of technical stuff
alex anders where is this ? Apple valley or what can’t tell. I usually go to Gorman when trail riding.
alex anders Johnson valley right ?
Great video! Knee's in the breeze is what it's all about for everyone even before racing! Looks like a really fun scenic ride. I'm from Ohio and I have not experienced riding places like that yet myself. Thanks for all of your great videos and for your dedication to sharing your experiences!
You and the boys should try doing a enduro track please
i wish i was their with you i have a 250 and i am only 13 i have so much fun like you guys be safe
It was fun watching these type of videos
This reminds me of when I lived in Arizona riding on trails like these. I had a little bit of anxiety watching you going down the steep parts. Been there
