Sport Bike Rider VS. Black Diamond ENDURO Trail - Suburban Delinquent tackles Malcolm Smith Trail

- What happens when you take friend who spends more time his GSXR 750 across a Black Diamond ENDURO Trail?
Follow along as I take Suburban Delinquent across one of the most famous trails in the world!
I can’t stress this enough. If you haven’t ridden a trail like this, it zaps your energy quickly. I guarantee he’ll have so much more confidence on similar or lesser stuff that he’ll look back on this video and know this is where he moved up a huge notch.
Good job on both ends.
Definitely a confidence boost!
extraDELINQUENT a 250 on that trail really requires a lot more experience. If you’re not planning on buying a bike with more ponies, you might want to consider getting a Rekluse auto clutch. Most of the tip overs looked like you didn’t clutch it quickly enough and dropped rpms and chug tipped, basically almost stalled.
@@Papparratzi I always learn sooooo much from the unsolicited advice of professionals........
Scott McDonald that’s some funny unsolicited implied advice......
I have not seen Sub-D's channel, but the way you talk about his lack of experience, he did rockin'. I have always said that the better and safer street riders are the ones that have an off road back ground. It appears that street riding sometimes transfers over to off road riding, or he is a natural. Awesome job most of it keeping his feet on the pegs. And to be honest, the majority of the times he went down, I got the feeling he gave up on it. If he dug deep, I think he could have pulled those crashes out of his arse and maybe only had 4 crashes. Very well done Sub-D!!
He’s definitely a street bike guy but has been working hard at the off-road stuff and getting better all the time
Thanks for the rad message 🤘
I just watched this for the first time . I remember doing MS trail for the first time. I did it the same direction as this video. It’s all rideable, there is that one crux uphill. When you first see it , it looks like a rock face. Lol I remember not making it. Then literally sitting down and resting for like 30 minutes. Its probably 6500 ft. Elevation. So there’s that. It’s not the funnest ride, but the feeling afterwards is pure accomplishment.At the mid point, you are pretty much isolated, so be prepared for anything. Your buddy actually killed it his first time. I think a lot of riders turn around.
those aren't crashes, those are DROPS! Great job!
🤘
I watch all of Sub D's dirt videos. Cool to See his progression on dirt. He's got pretty good in a short time. Congrats to him and hope y'all ride together more.
I check them out on some trials bikes a few weeks ago to try that.
I'm also heading out to Columbus Ohio with him at the end of this month for aimexpo
Should be a fun trip for sure
Been watching his street bike channel for some time now. Been watching his dirt channel since it started. I have to agree he’s progressed very quickly.
Been riding since 3 years old in 1978, and I still through it on the ground all the time. Crashing, is just part of riding.
If you're not crashing... You are not trying.
Hell yes
Every Single Sunday I love that. I always say that when I fall and my buddies keep telling me it’s bc I need a bigger bike.
@@supergarball what kind of bike are you riding?
Every Single Sunday 2018 Husky TE150. Check out my channel to see what I’m talking about. I personally think it’s rider skill that keeps me from getting up the harder climbs in 1 shot. I slip the clutch a lot but think it’s just the way it goes with a 150 (I’m not complaining though).
jezdíte výborně, jste borci!!! máte luxusní tratě,perfektní motorky, nádherný styl no prostě nemáte chybu chlapi! držte se!!
That trail is no joke. Great share man 👍👍
Thanks so much man. We always have a great time going out riding and getting good content for the channel
@@EverySingleSunday Im glad people are really enjoying the trails up here I just wish we could make them directional. Anyways see ya on the trail 🤙🤙🤙
@@toddconrad4194 it would be awesome if we could get some of the faster trails to be directional. It would make things so much safer
@@EverySingleSunday Gorman (hungry valley) has some stuff you would like
Great first attempt! I need to run this trail more! Thanks for the video!
It's always a great time up there. When I'm with my faster friends, we'll do 2 or 3 out and backs for training.
Thanks for the good words 👌
Great Vid, I love Sub D He is great.
Im about the same height as him you can see his little legs struggle on this trail.
Love from the U.K..
Thanks David!
Trimming the seat foam down can make a HUGE difference in how it rides. I usually don't like to see bikes lowered, it makes them handle poorly and just isn't the right way to do things.
But,for hard Enduro Applications, running 120mm of say is a good thing. But the bike just won't corner as well with that much sag
Hope that helps
I feel ya, my Husaberg even with the low seat is still 37 inches. Allot of taint balancing!😂
I overloaded on cute watching him and his uber-cute 3 year old girl. Seeing him drop bike a few times makes me feel much better.
An important tip many riders overlook is to 'NOT' hold their breath in the hard stuff. You must control your breathing!
Definitely
Was watching a mtn bike vid. Boring story short, champion downhill rider told the guy I was watching to sing while he rides. You have the skill set, you know what to do, but you are in your head. Sing, you are breathing and and just flowing. So....I tried it.(on the WR450) A little James Brown...'na-na-na-na-na-na...I feel good. na-na-na-na-na-na...I knew that I would now! So good! SO good! I....(ho-lee-shit! BIG TREE! TURN, DUMMY!) ...'cause I got you! - true story. :)
I've learned to talk to the bike the whole time. I may sound like an insane nut, but it makes sure I'm breathing.
@@ridgetop8161 it keeps the air moving in and out and keeps you from overthinking things. Might not be a bad idea for me to talk MORE
@@ridgetop8161 I do that all the time definitely helps and is alot more fun motivating yourself specially when the trial is tuff.
That is one of the few trails that I haven't done up in the Big Bear area... I want to try and tackle it after it cools off in a couple weeks. This was a nice overview of what to expect up there. Great video!
I have another video up in it that's a little older. Shows it all in depth a bit more and breaks it down
Thanks
Also, weather is already great up there. It's in the 70-80 range right now
Superb video and mad props to SubD! Epic guys!
Thanks Kyle, Glad you're watching
And ya, Sub D killed it in this one... Guy is an animal!
Nice Travis. Was cool to see him ride for a change.
Weird for me to see too
@@extraDELINQUENT travis is a really good rider.. you did awesome riding with him.
Ya, I'm pretty okay at bikes. And Sub D killed it on this one
hope someday I can ride with you guys. so much fun watching you crushing every hard track. KEEP IT UP, BRO!
thanks man. yam, would be fun. maybe well do a meet up someday
Awesome video! Love that trail! Kicks my butt every time!
It's definitely a fun time. I'm excited to see Suburban Delinquents side of it whenever it gets posted
Used to watch Sub D all the time and then i drifted away for awhile, came back to youtube and first thing i see is Sub D riding dirtbikes. Not gonna lie that took me by surprise and i am amazed how well you did on your first hard trail, keep on riding!
Ya,the dude is doing really well and improving every ride. Welcome back to the UA-cam 👌
@@EverySingleSunday You guys ride any trails in Orange County area? I've been looking all over and they're pretty hard to to find. I usually go to Ocotillo Wells but the gas and packin takes too much time for only 1 day off.
@@westwing23 there isn't too much good stuff in OC. I'm not a desert guy so I usually don't do ocotillo, maybe just 1 or 2 trips a year. Kennedy Meadows is about the same time for you and has some amazing single track riding
Look up my video, best Singletrack in SoCal. That's Kennedy Meadows
@@EverySingleSunday I saw the video, its absolutely beautiful! It is far but it just might fit the time frame. Anyway, Happy ridin!
It won't disappoint. Park at Fish Creek and head out. The trails around camp are whooped out and nasty but the outlying stuff is well.worth the drive
Dude, this trail is a straight asskicker. I've been riding dirt for 20 years and I'd have a long list of falls too on this thing. Sub-D's got some stones!
EDIT: Upon further inspection of the Ball Bearing Rocks and the Cliffs of Death, I'd just pass on this trail altogether. Stones!
Ive done it 4 times back and forth for training in a day . Also, they took out a lotto the hard stuff this year and ran a dozer through it.
@@EverySingleSunday You're a better man than I.
I've rode with sub delinquent!!! He is super Kool guy!!!! We rode the desert with him and fooligan and the kleb! Was a great weekend,we drove our ambulance/ bike hauler down from nor Cal!!!
That's awesome. I actually saw you guys on the freeway when you guys were down but didn't know who it was till I saw it in one of their videos.
And ya, dude is an awesome person
Heck yeah she is pretty hard to miss! Love your videos and the riding area's you hit! Good stuff!!!
@@tygaustad I need to make it up to NorCal sometime soon to get hit some of that epic Singletrack. I've seen some killer video
Great video, good riding, rode that trail many times. Rarely clean it. 👍
It's always a good time 😊
I am so jealous you are hanging with Sub D. Been watching that dude for so long. He seems so cool. I look for him every time I come out to Cali. Most of the time I am focused on getting to the best track on the west coast though. Im sure you know which one I am talking about. Its in San Diego.
He's a cool dude. I need to talk him into coming down to Top Gun this year to see what it's all about.
@@EverySingleSunday Dude, if he comes out for Top Gun, I will prep a car just for him to drive. Tell him a long time subscriber wants him to race. lol
For sure. Not the best weekend to learn how to drive. But he needs to come check it out eventually
@@EverySingleSunday Definitely. Would be a great weekend though to check out the atmosphere, hang with everyone and have a great time.
I have short inseam like sub D myself. It always goes badly when I paddle. Once I embraced momentum and staying on the pegs; riding became so much easier and a lot more fun.
And.... It's the right way to do it
Keep kicking ass
He's getting better! Being in CO...our riding season is short...and it rained most of the summer..and with cooler temps higher up, its coming to a close. ugh. I'm hoping to be able to move from my WR450 to a Husky 300 TE / TX next year.
Ya, seasons are rough. Killer riding there but California has year round riding
You'll love the 300.... It's a game changer
@@EverySingleSunday Some day, will have to load up bike and head that way. See how I fare on those hills.
I’ll be honest he makes crashing look elegant
Kinda
Another great video to watch.. 👌
Thanks so much man. Really appreciate it
You can tell dirt biking, on a trail like this for Sub D really took his energy lol haha love the man
It definitely kicked his ass but he kept on pushing. Guy is a trooper and is learning so fast
Great vy
thanks
cant wait to get back on a bike !
It's all I think about every day. What's keeping you off right now, injury?
Its a rule to take a pic, point and laugh before helping your buddy pick up their bike right? lol. Wicked tough looking terrain.
Agreed
Nice trails looks like rock slides to me lol
Looks like a fun trail
It's definitely a good time
great vid guys, great riding area. What pressure was Sub D running in his tyres? looked like his back end was skipping all over the place. good advice on softening up his sus too!
I dropped him down to about 10 psi in the back but he was running standard tubes and I was afraid of getting a pinch flat.
plus he's lite, about 150 lb so it definitely didn't get much squish on the tire
there's a lot more set up we could do to that bike, but only so much I was comfortable doing in the few minutes I had to change things before the ride
Every Single Sunday good help for him mate , he did really well
Eh thats like a penrose commons jr tbh still looks awesome to ride.
I do laps on this trail for fun. It’s just known as a hard hill for big bear CA. It was a huge challenge for a street bike guy but he did great
He did awesome on that trail with that bike! I have a 2015 wr250f that I ride through gnarly terrain like that, I also have a TX300 and it’s 10x easier on the 300. Those Yamahas are great bikes but really tall and a bit top heavy. If he got on something like a Beta Xtrainer he’d probably progress much quicker and definitely get less worn out.
I agree. It's a great all around bike for most guys, but for the super technical stuff, it doesn't have the ability to lug around very well
If all he was riding was tech, it would be wish to change bikes. But since he does other stuff as well, it's a solid bike for him
That’s called being gassed! Been there!!
Just for fun, how do you think the moto guys like RC, Dungey or Tomac would do riding this trail? Would they dominate it?
Im sure they would figure it out pretty fast. They have so much natural skill. But, would be fun to watch for sure
Theres a video of Pastrana doing Erzburg from years ago. It kicked his ass
@@EverySingleSunday I did see the Pastrana video. One difference here though is the MS trail is much shorter and I'm not talking about a race situation, just riding it at their own pace. I too would love to see it.
@@doobielawson702 Malcolm Smith is what I would call easy. I've done it back and forth 3 times in a day for training. I'm sure those guys could muscle through it no problem
That looks super tiring!
You just have to keep the bike upright and let it do the work. For guys who are newer.... The mental work is almost as hand as the ride itself. Sub D killed it
Fun times!
Yes it was!
New sub. Awesome video.
Thanks Greg, much appreciated. We have tons of fun videos up for you to check out
Damn I miss riding so much.
What's stopping you?
Every Single Sunday health issues and finances. But man do I ever miss riding.
Really sorry to hear that. I've had a couple times this year I was off the bike for a few months and it killed me
Heal up and hopefully it comes back
I wonder if your friend realizes how much a difference your 2 strokes makes compared to his 4 stroke?
2 completely different bikes. He’s ridden mine a few times
If you like single track and rocks try laughlin just north west of the hotel you'll need a new tire after that nasty slow stuff.
What brand of bike ? Changing stock gearing to maybe 12front sprocket and 52 rear sprocket lower gearing to climb better !
52 is too big.. hits all the rocks. I run 12/48 which is the same ratio as a 13/52
@@EverySingleSunday In Europe Hard Enduro racers re-gear 2nd and third gears lower or maybe a heavier flywheel for low end grunt ?
Ya, you've mentioned that in comments on 3 or 4 videos today.
I do run an extra 7oz on my flywheel
Dude needs new rings on his bike...blue smoke streaming from his exhaust when he stopped.
I didn't pick up on that. Guess all my buddies have 2 Strokes and I'm used to it LOL
what changes did you make to his suspension?
Basically slowed his rebound almost all the way down and softened up his clickers are far as they would go.... Then set the sag for 115
He's only about 150 so the bike wasn't working well in the rocks for him
This wouldn't be great for high speed, but is awesome for 2nd-3rd gear stuff
The bike needs to be soft or it just deflects off of small things like rocks, logs, edges
He must have some rugged radiators
I think they are a little crooked :)
So your buddy is on a Yamaha yz250f?
2018 WR250F
What trail tech do you have on your bike?
Voyager Pro. Absolutely love it
Why the clutch ajustment at 11:20?
I got on his bike and needed to go through a challenging section. I needed the engagement set to where I run it so I wouldn't end up on my ass
@@EverySingleSunday So you made it to engage later/with the lever further away from the bar? Interesting. But would that not prevent the plates from disconnecting fully on maximum lever pull? I was told to allow a few mm of pull to take up the slack in the cable.
@@Groot_G I honestly don't remember which way I made it go
I usually run my clutch so it engages just a couple mm's past my fingers that are in the bar.
Some guys prefer it further out, I personally like it closer in
As long as there is a little free play when the lever is out, it won't hurt anything
The further out you have it... The more likely bit is to fully disengage and not drag.
You just need to find a Happy median.
On a trail like this you adjust clickers to 17 & 17 soft?
For his weight, full fast for compression and full slow for rebound. Keeps the tires on the ground as it's low speed
I'm pretty sure like almost everybody watching this already knows who sub-D is
Ya, the guy is a legend in the UA-cam would
Wearing the stunt rider out. He needs more seat time. But he is doing it
He's getting better every time. Dude is killing it
innit
Deep innnnnit
Maybe you can let him try your bike on some easier stuff. Think he would do so much better on a true enduro bike.
I let him take it out and play around on it for 10 minutes on some easier trails. That stuff might show up in his video, not sure.
but, I weigh over 250 and he's right around 150 so my bike was still pretty stiff for him
I thought maybe some clown on an R1 going trail riding. Just me.
Well, he has a GSXR as well ... But he's getting into offroad
That trail sucks..all rock you need a trials bike for that junk....square rims and busted cases for sure.
Sounds like you don't enjoy riding rocks. These trails are great. My trials bike would be boring here
@@EverySingleSunday i do on a old bike i dont care about i mostly do moto,dez,or dunes but riding on rocks like that will destroy your bike it is fun a trials bike is ideal for that trying not to dab.
@@EverySingleSunday do you ever run a trials tire they work pretty good in technical stuff
@@EverySingleSunday when I was younger I used to ride that stuff all the time I had an It 175 and a kdx 200 done lots of rocks fun on the enduro bikes, all my stuff now is set up too stiff it would just deflect all over the place .
@@danielrelph6878 I have new bikes and all I do it rocks, logs, and enduro stuff. I run the proper protection and they seem to last okay.
I don't like the trials tires unless the trial is super tacky. They just don't work in loose conditions or shale very well
