Things of interest - to me, mostly dirt biking.
Midweek Ride, what could go wrong ?
A midweek ride, turns into some exciting hill climbs with spectacular unintentional dismounts. We used the time to hone in on some of our riding skills that we often forget about in the heat of the moment. So this was a casual ride where most everything went right but I had to park on a hill top when it didn't.
Enjoy, thanks for riding along.

The raw camera footage of the three of us and with our successes and failures on this awesome autumn day. We really enjoy challenging ourselves and working together to help each other succeed. There are moments in this video where you think, well this section should be edited out and then someone makes a comment that connects it all together. I don't usually do RAW video but this was too good t...
Sept Skill Building
มุมมอง 27228 วันที่ผ่านมา
We go round and round, up and down... sometimes repetitively until we get it right. Learning how to ride a dirt bike is a never ending process. It doesn't matter how much you think you know there is always something more to learn, a skill to master and riding habits to form and improve on. We ride three 2018 KTM 300XC s. We have found them to be way more powerful than what we need, but they hav...

What better way to start September than a day dirt biking at Bluff Creek OHV in Iowa. It was hot, it was dusty, but it was great. Enjoy these few minutes out of our days riding. In this video you will see three KTM 300 XC's and one Sherco 300. Enjoy the ride.
How to park a KTM

We found a small gully with a hill climb and tested out several different ways to get a dirt bike to the top and how to park your bike at the top when you did not stay on it. Enjoy this brief interlude of adults playing in their bike at Bluff Creek OHV. Thanks for Watching !
Standing Ovation
มุมมอง 2322 หลายเดือนก่อน
It is a great day when we all make it home without being wounded. Every line choice is a 'risk vs reward' calculation, irrespective of how easy or difficult it is. Sometimes the line we have ridden numerous times 'reaches out and grabs us'. Enjoy this ride with us as we riders with varying skill levels explore different opportunities to expand and develop our riding skills. Enjoy the ride.

We have a new Hill Climb at Bluff Creek OHV. Having ridden by it many times it now received our attention and there are several lines on the one hill. Ride with us as we succeed on some runs and not on others. Thanks for riding along. Enjoy
Day 2 in the Mountains
มุมมอง 592 หลายเดือนก่อน
PEOPLE WOULD PAY MONEY TO SEE THIS Over the July 4 weekend we rode many miles in the mountains above Sargents Colorado. On this day we took Trail #684 out of Sargents to a service road that heads up the mountain to a radio station (we think), then along an un-named single track back to Trail #684. Once on #684 we rode to the intersection of Big Bend Trail #488. Turned SE on Big Bend to Milk Cre...
A ride in the mountains

Over the July 4 weekend we rode many miles in the mountains above Sargents Colorado. This video is just a beautiful section of single track that we stumbled across... it is uncharted and undocumented from what we can tell. Great riding, great scenery and fabulous conditions made for a great weekend of riding. If you pay attention about 3/4 the way up Trail # 684 the single track leads off towar...

In the Colorado mountains above Sargents and the Tomichi Creek Trading Post, Restaurant and Gas station there are many miles of beautiful mountains and valleys to ride. This ride is along Long Branch Ave, Trail # 684 One rider lost control, but saved himself by riding into a log on the side of the road, this propelled the smaller end of the log out into the road and took out the next rider.... ...

Another weekend ride... Remember ATGATT (All The Gear All The Time). An expert rider bumps neutral on an unforgiving hill climb, is winded and left bruised and sore, but thanks to his riding gear is able to walk it off and continue riding. Ride along as we enjoy the thrills and (in this case) the spills that come with dirt bike riding. While it may be hard to watch, know that while editing this...

Every weekend we do our best to ride, Bluff Creek OHV is very convenient and nearby for us. This Saturday we have a newish rider with us who has a lot of street riding time and a little dirt biking time. In this video you will see how he well he is doing already and it won't take long and he will figure out how to use his bike and what it can do for him. Thank you for riding along with us as we...

You gave it more gas 😮
That last run seem to have a little more smoke, interesting 🙊🤔
Can't believe you guys were hitting that hill out of the ravine as early as yesterday! Savage 🤜🤛❤️🔥
Iowa is full of brave women!
That aspen grove was a delightfully bright white sight!
Every day is a good day to find some new singletrack!
Turns out this statement is prophetic! Nice. An unexpected turn of events!
AMAZING!!!
So many bunnies but no easter-eggs!
Using a GoPro Hero 10, and Davinci Resolve 18, with music from TH-cam’s free music library.
This is beautifully shot! What camera and editing software are you using?
Looks like a great outing with John
Things were happening pretty fast, I did however mentally note to anchor the front brake to keep the front wheel from turning as I couldn't go any further to the right as the bank was right there. A parachute would have been useful but probably not too effective. I did enjoy the backwards summersault 😂
Yeesh! Glad both noggins didn't take a harder hit! Looked like you made a great call to lock it down and prevent a spinning wheel from catching any arms or fingers. Always a tough call to make in the moment about whether to try to run backwards and fall to the bottom or to fall first and risk the bike following after. I guess it's official, time to buy a parachute!
It's those Cat Like Reflexes that had me doing a backwards summersault to get away from the bike....
Next year same time everyone will get double the air!
Getting the new year started off right... with a crash!
Nicely done. Try loading the bikes power a bit as you go into the dip before the steep part of the climb. Gain speed early as possible so you can coast up the hill and not rely on traction but rather momentum. Use it, do t use it 😂 thanks for the vid!
True that, timing on power delivery is everything.
Many spots in that wash where Shelley is invincible, can touch on both sides!
Paddles don't come supplied with a KTM, possible optional extra ?
It still remains a 'touchy subject' 😆
Teamwork makes the dream work!
You betchya
Where is Bluff Creek? TX or OK?
Iowa
Such a cool trail. Is this Bluff Creek OHV in Iowa?
Yes this is Bluff Creek OHV in Iowa
Neat! I can learn and tweak a detail or two watching this. Still can't believe what the bikes can handle all on their own!
Yeah, I'll have to try it sometime ;-)
This was awesome! Love the in-ride editorial. So Cool!
With us all having intercoms and having that connected to the GoPro you get the real time chatter that goes on between the riders. Thanks for Watching, I enjoyed the ride and editing the video !
The music is killing it 😖😅🏴
Thanks man, some videos need music, others stand alone, it's a fine line....
go pros do such a bad job of capturing the steepness of hills and cliffs. Ive ridden the pit several times and in real life it look much more gnarly than it does in the vids. I know the area she went up and its not a walk in the park. Hope I can link up with you guys for a ride sometime soon!
Yes GoPro flattens out a lot of the terrain, yes that area is nice and steep. She appreciates your acknowledgment of the challenging terrain. Thankyou.
A great adventure, would love some more practice on similar terrain!
Haha, love the narrative, well edited!
Love this trail!
The whole area is fabulous and it is so difficult to represent it well in a short video. I'm really glad we can enjoy it !
"Ride in the lowest points"... good advice, I remember learning that advice by accident on a borrowed Ninja 250!
Haha, the rain plus three stooges plus silly music is great!
The "Three Stooges"... They will love that !
When I ride under the rock at 24:20 I bump my helmet against it hard enough to be seen on video!
I really appreciate the effort put into setting up the gopro, configuring audio to capture intercom, swapping batteries, and ultimately editing all the footage. The result of all that work is fantastic and I greatly enjoy going back to relive the experience.
An I get to relive the experience all the time in editing it... thank you for the affirmation!
Moving out to UT from Maine. Leaving here on Dec11. Maybe we can meet up at some point. I'm landing in St George area but what's a few hours to ride with some good dudes?
Sadly I'm not based in Utah, wish I was 😢 this was a weekend ride we did over fall break. All the best with your move...
Try going up and down on "slag piles" where everything is loose.
You bet slag piles add their own unique challenges for traction management.
@@braapfield7987 God tires and plenty of horse power gets you up the sloops.
That nail gun sound affect gets old fast, otherwise enjoyed the video. Makes me want to head back to Moab with my dirt bike.
Thank you for the comment, is there a different sound you would prefer? Or would it be better to not mark the scene changes with any sound at all. Let me know what you think.
For what it's worth the soundeffect hasn't bothered me but I can understand both sides. Perhaps shortening the effect and lowering it's volume may still provide an audible break between clips while also being less intrusive?
Lots of lovely riding. Not a fan of the sketchy topple downhill onto a log, glad the spacing wasn't slightly different! I've joked about having remote control on the bike... maybe a springloaded ejection seat to add bike/rider separation would be good addition to that idea!
KTM space program! Well shoved!
John stepped up the entertainment level in this video! Contrasts well against the previous video where his skillful tractoring up a hill was labeled by fellow riders as "boring"!
It's reassuring to see how well the first climb ended despite how out of control it appeared! I was sure the rider would be in a pile on the other side!
Look very fun. This is the area that will be closed?
From what I've seen the closures will be west of Moab. Fins and Things is north east, but I don't know that for sure.
@@braapfield7987 oh okay, thanks you 👍🏻
Sadly we have not seen him since hunting season started... But he will be back!
The whole track was currently laid out is now 5.6 miles. A few connecting pieces are still needed but yes it is a great addition. Earlier this week I rode a complete lap without stopping and it took me 25 minutes.
Haha, Dani's commentary was unexpectedly humorous!
She has a knack for being humorous !!
Lots of ups and downs!
Must have looked at the tree!
We can always depend on Carson to go above and BEYOND!
Following the orange-stick-road looks like a great time!
I don't think I've seen that tire section in the field before. Seems like there's a ton of dirt filling it in though. I've got some techniques to suggest which can be practiced there while it's still super mellow. Hope Frank has radiator guards now!
It is a great addition and is a first installation, improvements and modifications will be made over time.
Dang dudes, watching this set off my bluff creek ptsd. I got stuck out there once during a heavy rain and it was awful trying to get back to the truck. The clay there gets so slick and just piles up on the bikes. Aaah. I especially feel bad for the bro on the 450. Can’t imagine the skill it took to get that monster home. Remember when at bluff, if a storm be coming, you best be runnin’ hahaha
You are so right, we were out at Bluff yesterday and the radar showed rain coming and it took all my negotiating skills to get riders to go out again before the rain arrived. But they did and we made it back to the truck before the first drops fell, and then the storm parted and Bluff hardly got anything, but we did rode through rain on the way home. 😆
Loved good job 👏 👍
