I agree, it's too small and not diverse enough. I wouldn't drive that far for it.

I still have it! I have about 6 other videos filmed and sitting on my hard drive, I would love to post them eventually when I have the time. But going forward I can't say if I'll be able to make new videos for this kind of content.

Life took an unexpected turn after this video, I ended up moving to Texas and started a new job. I have a few other videos filmed that I want to edit and publish but there won't be a part 2 to this video project, we never finished the trail.

@@benjirides218 oh, that's crazy. You say you moved in to the farm in this video back in the 90s, so you've been here a while, well sucks that there probably won't be any more Mountain Ridge videos, I love the East Coast Mountains. Most of Texas is just flat. If you ever can, since you're closer, one day you have to go to Colorado and take your Grizzly on the Alpine loop. It's absolutely beautiful and would make the best video ever. I have some videos of Engineer Pass and Corkscrew Pass @Fullsend Travels, The landscape is awesome. Plus it's a loop, so you can leave the truck and trailer at a parking spot, and go around and come back. You don't even need to have a Registered ATV.

@blazeatv has some really good videos on this. He has a luggage box with some gear as well as some nice mods on his atv. I would suggest maybe a tire patch kit, some basic hand tools, things like that, but I have yet to buy those myself lol

I don't have a mic, this is a gopro 10 mounted on the helmet and it can pick up my voice. I do a little audio editing to enhance the voice and lower the engine noice and that's it!

@@benjirides218 oh, I started using a mic now and it's a huge improvement. GoPro hero8.

Oops😅

I'm not sure, I bought it with very high miles, however the previous owner had taken very good care of it so I think he probably did.

Hey! I was using a DJI Mini 3 Pro. It's an awesome drone and in sport mode can go about 36 mph. I also made sure Isaac wasn't driving the boat too fast otherwise he would have outrun the drone.

There was another portion of the trail that had another hill climb, however I took one look at it and went around. I'm not sure if that is shown in the video or not.

Haha trust me my friend, you would not want me to make a video on this. That would be the blind leading the blind. I am not very good with mechanical stuff. But my brother is, let me ask him.

@benjirides218 If I can see what I'm looking for (oil bolt/drip - differential oil bolt(s) - brake fluid) that be it!! Appreciate your Channel & it's content - Bravos

🤣

This was filmed with an Insta360 One X2. They now sell an upgraded model called the x3 which is better in a few ways. The camera is alright, it has some really cool potential but I wouldn't use it as a primary camera. For me this is a secondary camera for "B-roll" type footage now

Personally I like my Grizzly better. It's faster, just as reliable, and will do everything the Honda can do. It is very close in price. And my Yamaha came with a winch and better stock tires than the Honda. My biggest concern with the Honda was the DCT. There are benefits to a geared transmission, as well as set backs. I had seen a lot of facebook posts about how the DCT was problematic on certain years and I saw that pattern leading right up to the blue 2022 model. Many people don't have any issues with it, but a lot still do. I figured with the Grizzly, the worst that can happen is that it might need a new belt. But with the DCT, there is a software component, ten gears, the trans.... lots of things that can break and the dealerships don't want to deal with them.

@@benjirides218 i was looking at the honda foreman because i haul wood so the solid axle would hold up better but im afraid its going to be rough and i like a automatic. The only issue with the 700 kodiak im looking at is sometimes i take my wife and i dont want it bottoming out on every rock

@@paulbishop5419 I have a "Short" on my channel of me hauling some fire wood in a trailer. I would guess I've hauled 1500lbs through some mud and hills. The grizzly can definitely do the work. When I compare towing with the Grizzly and my Rancher with a solid axle, the rancher can't keep up at all. The new foreman's might be better, but I see a huge improvement in my situation. You can see that video on my channel as well. The thumbnail is the kids in the wagon.

Thanks! Can't wait to hit up H&M for the first time. The power steering is so nice, esp when you've ridden without it

Yeah my buddy is still waiting for his cover to come I from the dealership, but he is using the clip on cover and he says the same. Takes forever to put on and take off, but so far he loves the boat and it's amazing. Can't wait to go out on it again this summer. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! This was something that really concerned me but knowing this helps!

This is an Insta360 camera, it's great for some interesting shots but I wouldn't recommend it as a stand alone camera

I'm in Virginia

Yep! I've thought about getting a light bar but I don't see the point, the front lights have been great!

i gave you your thumbs up despite being the one who was driving without the lanyard. guess all my safety training in the marine corps and fire department and as a motorcycle coach hasn’t made me the slightest bit mindful of safety with a toddler on board. 😮😅let’s be real my wife is totally capable of cutting off the boat if i somehow manage to fall through the bimini and over the wall with the huge jumps and massive waves i’m tackling out there 😂

This is Mountain Ridge ATV Park in PA. This particular trail is called Gentle Ben. But there are tons of trails out here. The park is 3000 acres with over 150 miles of trails. I've ridden here on 4 separate occasions and still haven't hit all the trails.

Mind your own….

Thanks for watching! We love the Farm! Go out there as much as we can:D

This is Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia, it's a great place to spend the day

Been there several times, a buddy has a place in Bernard’s landing, will be there Presidents’ Day weekend….a little slice of Heaven!

So true! I had a section of footage talking about "enjoy the not-knowing, because once you know all the trails the mystery is gone", but the footage was at a bad angle and didn't come out good. But I totally agree with you. I was a bit nervous at the time after my experience with the hill climb, but I think if I went back and did it right I would be open to trying the other hill climb on this trail

I would agree with you, I need to be mindful of this if I go to some other parks. Hatfield and Mccoy may have a very different idea of a "Black Trail" than Mountain Ridge does. Oh I did a shoutout about you in my hill climb video, thanks for the tip about loosening my grip, it has worked wonders

@@benjirides218 Ha funny I just pulled that one up to watch! Thanks man, glad that helped. Yes, the blacks at HMT are actual blacks. Greens and blues only there ;-)

I plan to next season!

What's the price tag on the Grizzlies these days?

I paid 11500 for it, then there is taxes and dealership fees. This has been a great machine for me but I can see how eventually I might want something bigger like a side by side. But I’ve topped it out at 63 and that is plenty of power for me

Plenty enough for an ATV though...it's quite peppy, and torquy

@@joeellis2692 $12k.... unfortunately

@@joeellis2692 that's before all the dumb f&ck dealership fees
