Nice video. It would be awesome to give a shout out to Dick Brass, the guy who built 5MOH and all these trails in the San Rafael Trail system. He's a living legend. He's 80+ years old, a retired engineer, and still lives out of his truck camper for half of the year in the Utah desert, and builds trails. He built this trail to piss off the mountain bikers back in the day. We owe all of these to him.
@@EverySingleSunday the guy is a total stud. He's actually from back East originally and also had a motorcycle shop during the KTM John Penton days. He came out west and literally just lives out of a super old truck camper in the desert. He used to ride an old XR200 when he built all the trails including 5MOH. He now has an old four wheeler because its too hard for him to get around on a bike. but he still builds trails. I linked a video below that a local program did on him a few years ago.
Please adopt me. I'll live in your garage and keep the bikes clean when we aren't out riding. My wife and kid will be fine. Just TAKE ME RIDING WITH YOU it looks so awesome out there.
Check out Ready to Ride rentals. We do tours all over and it’s pretty affordable. Just fly in with a gear bag and we do the rest. Or drive out and bring your own bike and hit a bunch of places 🤙
I did this trail for the first time this year. The hardest part (apart from the sand from hell) is that it's relentless. I slept well that night. I got pretty lucky on the Crux and made it up on my third try. On the first try, I dove face-first into it. Amazing day. Will be heading back next year.
Just imagine a bmw 1250 GS adventure fully loaded out with hardbags feeling adventurous as a 63 year old pondering his 20's. Where is my honda trail 70? Enjoy guys thanks for the ride on the comfort of my chair.
Me and Beau from this video have been talking about doing this on our KTM 890 adventure bikes. We know we could do it…. But it’s a bad idea Glad you enjoyed this one
Rode this trail for the first time ever last week. It was a fun and challenging trail, the fact it was 95 F and we just rode Moab for 5 days made it a little harder. Planning on doing it again when possible. It's a little harder to make it there when you have to drive for 18 hours.
Yeah, it’s always a little bit harder when it’s hot out and you’ve been riding for a few days. I wish it was closer for me as well, I’m about 10 hours away. Glad to hear you had a good time
40 years ago, that might even have replaced the Black Water Enduro on my bucket list. Today, sadly I'm just too old for that. I do agree "two dabs and a tree" would be a good one. Another good job.
I've developed a better eye for your camara perspective and your riding ability after attempting some of the harder Big Bear trails in your videos. A big hell ya to wishing I could do stuff like this. At 59 and balance impaired from a stroke I'm just thrilled to still be able to ride and get stronger. Your videos keep me motivated. Keep it up.
I’m getting ready to set up a new helmet soon. It’s in the cards to film it There’s and d version on here a couple years back if you want something now
Did that trail with Dan one of the owners of RMMC and some of my buds who knew him. The Utah off road organization use to give Tee shirts for survivors of this trail. From here we went over the Chimney Rock and rode Devil's Racetrack and so on. Dan and the boys over at RMMC are great people. I shredded my rear tire over at Chimney Rock and he yanked a 18" tube our his pack as all I had was front tubes. Some of the best memories in my life. I try to support those guys whenever I can.
Your content as of late has been incredible, thank you for the inconvenience of "filming". As for the desire to tag along with you on this terrain. Yesterday, pre MS DX, T10-S1 spinal fusion and natural aging, I'd love to. Today I'm ashamed to say absolutely no thank you. 🤣 Keep up the excellent content, enjoying it all.
I would LOVE to see y'all ride this trail on ADV bikes. I've done it on a WR450, SEF300, and (2) SE300 Factory 2t's. I know it's possible, but damn...... Let see how big those cajones are....
Yep let the bike do the work...... mine is damn disobeying me, lol! If you see me riding I am able to make miles of hell anywhere, and I love it!!!Nice us of drone, what a lovely misery, thnx V!
Is this Dual Sport doable? I really know nothing about "dirt bikes" except that I want one. I'm surr a lot has to do with the rider, but I do understand there are gearing differences of Dual Sports vs XC bikes. Thanks!
Dang I need to get back down there... Being only 4hrs away I just take it for granted.. That tree that got you about ripped my pinky off the first time I did it, I know your pain!!
This is my kind of trail, and would love to ride it, but I don't know how bad the exposure is. See, I have a stupid fear of heights so some things I just can't do.
Well, it’s been a solid video that still generates good views. Moving from working with BB to RMATV…. I don’t want to continue to push people to BB. So, I took it down and changed it a bit to help support my riding I’m sorry you feel like it’s not good enough to share with the world and new viewers.
Definitely not skilled enough for this yet on a Moto, it does look like fun though. My 450 definitely doesn’t help on technical trails like this. I mountain bike stuff like this regularly, but it’s a completely different skill though some stuff carries over. Love the channel. 🤙🏻
Ya, the 450s definitely don’t help in these situations unfortunately. A flywheel weight, lower gearing and mapping make a big difference if you do want to make the bike more off-road capable
On those light bikes or a dirt bike I can do it but on my DRZ400 it might be challenging. I feel I drop my bike there something will break like side casing or something.. I know a Korean guy has a channel called off-road friends he will do that trail on a ktm 890 adventure bike he is about 120 pound guy
Checked out OFF-ROAD FRIENDS. Yeah this cat is an animal! He appears to hail from my neighborhood, riding all the trails I have in my 40 years of riding. Thanks for the channel recommendation.👍🏼
I’ve met the off-road friends guys before and I’m 99% sure they aren’t complaining this on a 890. Nice guys and good riders for sure but I don’t it happens
This group was a mix of guys in there 20s ,30s and 40s. Just a random group of guys that came in a dirt bike vacation with Ready To Ride Rentals. And most of us are on 300s
Hybrid rear with a soft mousses (IRC VE33s) I only go to a full gummy for super slick stuff that’s is wet and slippery. This stuff has tons of traction
A trails bike would be miserable through this. I like my seat, the comfort, and the ability to travel at high speed through some sections. The trails bike is fun for some stuff but not for days like this
looks like 5 miles of fun too me
Exactly 🤩

Yes sir. Had to revamp it to work with my current goals
Always fun to watch. Thank you for what you do.
I appreciate it. Thanks for the comment 🤙
I had to watch it all the way to the end. You earned that 👍 it WAS that bad. New subscriber thanks for getting that on video for us.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for subscribing. Hope you enjoy the channel 🤙
Mousse country for sure!
Another great video Travis
Definitely. All those sharp edges hate air
40 years ago, that might even have replaced the Black Water Enduro on my bucket list. Today, sadly I'm just too old for that. I do agree "two dabs and a tree" would be a good one. Another good job.
Black water looked amazing. I worked with a former winner for a while.
Glad I found your channel, great content
Thanks man. We’ve had some great trips for sure

Ya, the camera never does it justice. Glad to hear you’re still able to ride and enjoy motorcycles
It'd be cool if you did a vid about your camera gear you use and editing software.
Love the content of the channel!
I’m getting ready to set up a new helmet soon. It’s in the cards to film it
There’s and d version on here a couple years back if you want something now
Bucket list for sure - great video!
Yes it is. Thanks so much
Drone footage is perfect for a trail like this! great stuff man
I agree. It makes it so much better on these open areas
One of the best!!
I need to get back out here. It’s been way too long
Love the drone footage! Very cool!
Thanks man. Definitely makes the day longer but it’s cool to have
@@EverySingleSunday it did make for some good footage though. I definitely liked it
Another great Ride! I hope to get out there next year.
Start making a list and checking these trails off. Make a plan and make it happen

no thank you. 🤣 Keep up the excellent content, enjoying it all.
Glad you’re enjoying it. How are you healing up and how long since your surgery?
@@EverySingleSunday DX 2017 Fusion Sept. 2022 And I'm 63👊🏼
Great video, would luv to ride that track !!
It’s a buckets list ride for sure
Still one of my favorite trails. Once you pass the hard part, it just keeps going!
It’s so good. Just a beat down that makes you smile
Love the content dude, what camera setup are you using for your helmet?
I run a GoPro Hero7 black with a purple panda pic. Works well for me
Thanks!
🤙
Thanks so much Paul. I really appreciate the support
Looks awsome I'm Ready on the 450
Let’s do it.
@@EverySingleSunday looks like fun it's a rough one just the way I like it
Travis, we still need to ride this on our ADV bikes to show how easy the trail is 😅
Once I heal up and you loan me a 790 :)
I would LOVE to see y'all ride this trail on ADV bikes. I've done it on a WR450, SEF300, and (2) SE300 Factory 2t's. I know it's possible, but damn...... Let see how big those cajones are....
I guess all that rock is a double edge sword.... plenty of grip, but falls hurt!
Yes, yes, and yes.
That looks like so much fun !!!!
It is. You need to try it some day
Yep let the bike do the work...... mine is damn disobeying me, lol! If you see me riding I am able to make miles of hell anywhere, and I love it!!!Nice us of drone, what a lovely misery, thnx V!
Thanks V 🤙
Very nice - for me at this point to ADVANCED😮
Always something to build up to
Awesomeness
🤙
5MoH is definitely a bucket list trail.
It should be in every enduro riders list if to do
I would definitely love to try this one. I'd need a support system to get through it I'm sure...
We all need a support system in these rides. We do a few trips every year with RTR Rentals if you’re looking to join us
Is this Dual Sport doable? I really know nothing about "dirt bikes" except that I want one.
I'm surr a lot has to do with the rider, but I do understand there are gearing differences of Dual Sports vs XC bikes.
Thanks!
Yes, but it’s not fun on the wrong bike. Not something I’d attempt till you are proficient because it’s a hard trail and really remote if you get hurt
Would love to do it! Looks like maga smiles per miles there!
It’s an absolute blast. Hope you can make it someday
Dang I need to get back down there... Being only 4hrs away I just take it for granted.. That tree that got you about ripped my pinky off the first time I did it, I know your pain!!
Oh man, that tree is not our friend. I wonder how many people share our pain 🤣
@@EverySingleSunday I bet quite a few..
Trav, what kind of drone do you like?
This is a Skydio 2
This is my kind of trail, and would love to ride it, but I don't know how bad the exposure is. See, I have a stupid fear of heights so some things I just can't do.
There’s a quite a few spots with some 20+ foot tall drops. Nothing that will kill youbut it’s definitely a bit of a trip looking and it
Going to make a Utah trip in my future! Looks fun and terrible! Lol
Yes yes and yes. Have fun 🤙
If I do that, ima get gummys and tubless hahahaha
Highly recommend running a mousse out here. Way too many sharp objects for air
Looks fun 👌
It’s a must do trail for any enduro guy. Hopefully you can try it someday if it’s your thing 🤙
Broken legs arms and collar bones for 5 miles lol! Looks fun as hell, with some nasty repercussions for mistakes.
Just gear up and you should be fine. Don’t try anything too dumb or that you’re not comfortable with
Looks like a hell of a lot of fun
So much fun
What camera do you use for helmet cam?
I’m still running a Hero7. I have a saved story in my IG with a breakdown on setup
What was the group's ride time? I feel like I'd need 8 hours! :)
I think we were around 4 hours this time through
I thought you did this trail last year, way above my pay grade,
We’ve done it a handful of times. But this footage is from a while back.
What tires are you running for this? Moose or Tubliss?
I run Mousses for everything except track riding
Looks like fun
Rocky Mountain now instead? Interesting!
Yep, seemed like a good fit for me and the channel. Hoping it works out and makes some money
Can you explain the points system for help?
I’m going to do a video on it. But basically just a way to keep track of how much someone needed help so we can make fun of our friends
You make good content but it's disappointing when I click on a new video and find out it's just an old one you have rebranded/reposted again.

Also, the DRZ is a great bike but is a bit heavy. With the right setup they are a fantastic bike
The biggest bike I'm aware hitting it was a xr650. Morgan from highland cycles was the rider.
@@KoltFin a few guys fit it in 890s and T700s last week. I know they made it pay the crux but not sure if they finished the whole trail (sign to sign)
Looks like a workout!
100% yes. A great one too
Curious how old are these riders? This is crazy terrain.
Probably older than you might guess. A lot of the guys that ride it are 40's and 50's.
@@brycedavis907 are those 300's you are riding?
I wasn't with these guys,buti suspect most of them were on 300's. It's the weapon of choice for the majority of guys riding around there.
This group was a mix of guys in there 20s ,30s and 40s. Just a random group of guys that came in a dirt bike vacation with Ready To Ride Rentals. And most of us are on 300s
Where is this?
Just north of Moab about an hour.
that trail is bad to thye bone! it's scary as hell!
It is definitely a bucket list trail
Gummy rear with soft mousse?
Hybrid rear with a soft mousses (IRC VE33s)
I only go to a full gummy for super slick stuff that’s is wet and slippery. This stuff has tons of traction
You want Hell go to Hawaii in rainy season. You push your bike more than you can ride.
Are you Racing the hard enduro that is coming up over there?
Rides like this really highlight the advantages of the two-strokes. Not that it would help me😟
Just have to take it 1 rock at a time
why not get a trials bike for such slow riding, lots of people do stuff because you can , not because its fun .
A trails bike would be miserable through this. I like my seat, the comfort, and the ability to travel at high speed through some sections. The trails bike is fun for some stuff but not for days like this
Nope...lol
C‘Mon man :)
Crux.
Yep
I would not want you riding behind me , your to critical on people not at your level
Okay 👍
