  • I barely made it out of these mountains before nightfall..
    In this video I will begin part one of a journey that I vowed that I would do before winter. These mountains have humbled me twice now, but I am determined to conquer this range. This is my third and final attempt before next season and it is an immense challenge.
    I will have to deal with crashing, deadfall trees, running out of water, brutal terrain and more..
    Hope y'all enjoy the video!

    Love your videos Jack! Such an adventure and storyline every time! Crazy terrain as well. Can’t wait to get out on my 300 later this week. I finally found some trail closer to home which is nice for mid week rides! Thanks again! Grant from Nova Scotia!

      Thanks so much! Definitely get out on that 300 before the deep freeze hits! Not sure how the weathers looking for you, but I think I have about a month left of riding and I hope to really make the most of it 🤟🏼

    Jack, I think all of us in idaho are trying to get in one more time, the thing we love to do while it's still warm. We all know the weather is changing this week.Great video.

      So true. I am hoping to get out and ride a bit this week, but were getting close to bike maintenance season. Though I am excited to get out into the owyhees a bit when theres days with minimal snow! Glad you liked the video!

    I really like riding in the fall, but my foot incident a few weekends ago has made me decide to hold off on riding for a bit longer.
    How long is the trail?
    Did you ride from home to the trailhead, or truck your bike to the trailhead?

    • @madjack_757
      @madjack_757  2 дні тому

      I rode out to the trailhead which was a bit of a ways but the trail itself was only 15 miles so I wasn't too worried!

    If you’re considering a clutch rebuild I would suggest a 4.0 Rekluse! Not for everyone but with the technical riding you like it would help!! Nice riding, filming and editing!!

      I actually have given serious thought to it. It all comes down to money. Typically winter time is my project time for my bikes, but we will see how much I can budget this season for bike work. I really wanna do some cosmetic changes, some crash damage protection upgrades, clutch, suspension, and maybe an ECU.

    I'm from Manitoba, Canada. Grew up riding dirt bikes, started when i was 10 and im now 26. Have had a Honda 250L since spring 2023, took it to Moab and Colorado that summer. After watching your videos and doing a bunch of research, i just picked up a 2017 KTM exc-f 500. Already planning some mods for it, haha. Hopefully back down to Moab next fall.

      Nice man!! Thats such a great bike and if I didn't have my 501, I would probably have gone with the KTM. Maybe I will see you in Moab because I am hoping to go back sometime soon!

      @@madjack_757 As far as I understand the 501 and the 500 are nearly the same? Yeah I've got quite a list of trails I hope to do out there. Would be cool to have someone to ride with out there, I'm planning on doing White Rim and the trifecta (poison spider/golden spike/onion creek), plus a few others.

      Thats so awesome!! I've wanted to ride white rim for a good long while now. I actually tried to get the permits to do it this year, but had arguments with the National Parks Service because they wanted to get so much money from me so I could film the ride.

    I was just out riding northern Ontario logging roads north of Cartier Ontario near the watershed it’s called Metagama rd there are hundreds of km of road and trails I want to go back up north soon before the snow flys anyways this area I’m talking about is skidoo country in the winter too

      Yeah I never got into sleds, but I know once I try it, I am going to become broke from buying a snowmobile hahahaha. I've heard its so fun. Definitely try to get out there while you have a bit more time! I feel lucky since I can switch over to riding the high desert in the off season, so theres nearly year round riding here (if you can handle the cold lol)!

    What's the temps up there now?

    • @madjack_757
      @madjack_757  2 дні тому

      Its different every year.. I can expect snow to hit the mountains sometime in November, but it can range from a light covering that is still rideable to being totally unsafe to ride. If I really want to push it and the weather is nice to me, then I can ride the mountains into late november maybe maybe part of december. Thats if I really want to push it tho. The good news is, the desert will be open and rideable!!

    16:30 too bad! The move was there... Sometimes it's hard to pivot from a leg to another but it's all about weight distribution and throwing your butt the side you're aiming for.
