Utah's 5 Miles Of Hell

- So I finally got to ride the infamous 5 Miles Of Hell in Utah! This has been a bucket list trail for me for years. Was it as gnarly as everyone makes it out to be? I don't think so. BUT...it certainly keeps you on your toes and was so much fun to ride! The thing about this trail is that there are definitely some intimidating features but the amount of traction you have on the rocks is incredible. This makes some really crazy looking climbs a little easier than they look. We took our time, enjoyed the beautiful views, and tried all the different lines on the tougher sections for fun. I hope you guys enjoy the footage!

john walsh praying for y’alls health
Just amazing Megs. Always inspiring me to follow improving my skills being a low rider. Regards.
Thanks Oscar!
I just cant even believe the terrain you can ride on. This is just amazing. Its unbelievable.II . I'm tired just watching. :)
Yeah Megs! Great work through the chunk! That place I found challenging, but enjoyed tackling it.
FMOH, been there, done that, REALLY good fun! Thanks for the reminder. XD ... EXCELLENT "Outtro"!!
LOL.. "oh Sh!t.. that's sketchy".. Love it... and your can do attitude!! Good side down as always Megs!
Always enjoy your authenticity vids and commentary. Hope you and yours are doing well during these challenging times.
Thank you! I hope you're doing well too ☺️.
I've got my fingers crossed for this thing to blow over soon so I can get back to teaching riding clinics and then come down to Utah again for some more fun!
Awesome video Meg! I sure love my Rekluse on my new 3hunny xcw Erzburg edition! Thanks fer taking us along!!
No problem! I'm glad you enjoyed the vid!
You are freaking kidding me!!! That's a great ride. nioooch.
So amazing seeing you all getting the bikes to just do what you tell them. Can't wait to play on my Beta some more... DAMN COVID
I just cant even believe the terrain you can ride on. This is just amazing. Its unbelievable.
Nice Meg, you slayed that trail. I'm glad you got the chance to ride this legendary place.
PNW Enduro Thanks Greg! I’m glad too! I’m really sad we didn’t get to do our Utah adventure though... Hopefully we can do it soon!
Next time I hear some one say ya ride like a girl... I'll think of Meg and say THANKS! and if you ride like here good for you!
Simp
Do doubt. I wish I had those skills.
Nice job!! Looks like a great time. Glad you came back to enjoy our awesome state.
🤘😎🤘
Meg, your awesome. I love riding with you, you have so much passion for the ride that you do so well. Thank you for all that you do and all that you share. 8~ )
(edit) riding with you POV
Told ya last year always bring gps or compass at least when your in Moab or Utah it all looks same and noone brings enough water..
Meg, nice work! I was chuckling when I heard you express anxiety and worrying about doing this ride. I knew it would be a piece of cake for you. I was surprised that everybody was trying to spot you when you took a harder line early on at the 1st big challenge section-- a no brainer for you. Yes, the trees are all very stiff. When in the desert, I always say the plants are never your friend. They are always nasty whether it's a cactus or a tree...wood is stiff, dry, pokey, and hard. Thanks for sharing.
This track is awesome! I love seeing videos from this trail.
Great ride!
I gotta say.. You ride better than any man I've ridden with over this kind of terrain. You have great finesse. The guys I've ridden with would never get through this trail. I had to ride a guys 450 XL out of a canyon after he broke his clutch handle twice. He couldn't believe I did it while he rode my 400 EX Quad out of there at Sunflower Mine, AZ. LOL WOW he sucked. While I enjoyed the challenge of getting his no clutch bike out of there. I'm glad it was a 4 stroke engine though. LOL
I watched a bunch of videos of this trail but Megs makes it look easy
Wow What a sweet place to ride. Great Job!
Your a bad ass rider! Pretty cool to see, I’ve had my girls on bikes since they were 4 now 9&12 hopefully they can tackle that trail one day.
Thank you! That’s really great that you got your girls riding so early! They’ll be riding this trail for sure 🙌.
Awesome! I have a lot to learn before I tackle that one 🤘l love the videos! Keep it up
Looks awesome , I see you mentioned it in description, I was thinking how odd all that steep climb traction must feel .
Hope your doing well , take care😍
Nice riding Megs. You’ve got what it takes for sure, especially considering a dab in this kinda terrain is a reach for you! I feel for you short riders, but it sure makes you good on balance and keeping your feet on your bike. 👍🏻
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Not my type of riding but great job to these guys. If I was to do this definitely would have a E START bike.
Omg the crux with snow on it...sketch! We made it 2moh and bailed after the crux 🤣.
What an awesome freaking nice place!!!!
Hell yeah I wanna head on down there to ride sometime soon, any excuse to go back to Utah. Went elk hunting in the western part back in October and November.. EVERYTHING IS BETTER IN UTAH
Give Barry our best next time you're talking to him and please stay out of the "Broken Back Club". Thanks for breaking up the boredom 🤪
yep, I did it last year on a whim .... California wildfire smoke ran me off and I ended up in Utah at 5moh .... I struggled mainly because I was riding alone and realized the implications of a bad fall but love Utah and riding there. You are an awesome rider regardless of gender.
Meg I have never heard you scream in fear before when you went by that unexpected hole on your left close to the end of the video
My buddy made the exact same sound there!! Loved that part! ha
I broke my leg last year in that hole. That hole can go to hell.
Holy Crap "BRAAP WOMAN" That looked hard🥺👍👍👍
Amazing riding !!
That looks fricking exhausting
Nice footage of a sweet ride!
Great vid! You are a very talented rider.
Nothing I'd refer to as "hell", but definitely some consequences for bad endure skills! I love riding the Utah deserts! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Yeah it definitely wasn't as tough as I thought but it keeps you on your toes! I will definitely be back here as soon as I get the chance.
Meg that looks a whole lotta fun , wish we had better land access for riding like that.
Mcnut training 101... coming into action there wow...
Love all your vids I watch you how to vids and practice in the field across the street.
Good job... I would personally prefer trials bike over this kind of trail
Is your bike a 2017? That brake squeak sounds familiar 😂
WOOOW what a nice place to ride ! congrats
Well done. 5MOH isn't as bad as people make it out to be, however its a really cool and fun trail to ride. Glad you made down here to ride it.
Thanks! Yeah it was a great time for sure. I was worried at first because I've heard so many horror stories about this trail being so tough. But you're right, it's really not super tough because the rock is so grippy. If the rock was slippery, that would be a whole different story.
@@megs_braap Yeah the first time I rode it I was scared of it being way too tough but its actually a really fun trail with a few technical sections. Its such a crazy landscape that I think that's whats more impressive than the actual trail.
Impressive skills!
Dang Megs that's why you have diesel arms your arms an but checks has to be sore after this ride, your brave. Your awesome
Looks like heaven to me
Thanks for the Keihin endorsement!
Not a lot of women can say they did this trail 👊👊👊 way to represent 😩👍
Hey Megs, we love your vids! What setting are you using on that cam? Persective is so accurate!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.👍🏁
Us locals gave it that name to scare off unwanted visitors. Now everyone will know the secret! Glad you had a good time!
Ooops haha! My bad!
Wow, skills. Your a rock star.
I haven't seen very many videos of Megs riding this type of terrain. How did she get so good on this stuff?
Yeah lady, you ROCK!!!
Awesome stuff Meg, looks like my idea of enduro nirvana. Got to say, how the hell do you navigate and follow a trail, looks like there isn’t one.
The only reason that I knew where to go was because I was following someone who'd ridden the trail before haha. It's definitely hard to tell where the trail goes sometimes.
@@megs_braap Agreed !! Those paint marks don't cut it ! If it was me leading , I would probably get lost and only way they would find me would be the circling vultures.
P.S.
Whats up with the bare arms ?? How many band aids did it take to repair the scrapes from the desert trees ? :o)
Man the variety of places you get to ride is Awesome! Maybe a lectron would be one less thing to worry about since you go so many places. I love mine and only leaned it out little bit from when i got it and its been great. Gotta order one of them potato pizzas soon! 😂😏
Grahm Jarvis would love this screwed up landscaping, it does'nt look that bad though..good job riding
Yeah he'd have a lot of fun out there for sure! Lots of super gnarly lines just off of the trail...
Excellent job
I wonder if running rich helped it chug down low so well? Great ride.
Awesome trail👍👍💪💪🔥🔥
Amo seus vídeos...que lugar fantástico...aqui no sul do Brasil é difícil ter lugares assim para andarmos de moto.
Looked fun I’m only a few hours away from that trail don’t really want to do it alone gonna have to find some people to go!!
Yes, it's definitely a trail where you'd want to go with one other person at least. Just in case something goes wrong out there.
Last time I rode that it was 100+ degrees out and riding a 450. Looks a bit nicer in cool weather with a 2 stroke!
Loved the journey
You killed it! I didn't even hear one "FRICK"! 😂😂
Nice riding Megs!
Thanks!
Lots of first gear work and amazing clutch control. Did you run a gummy tire? Seemed like you had a lot of traction.
Megs.... this is my back yard. Farther north there are some terrifying single track. How do I pm you to tell you where they are?
Was there the other day and you make a lot of the sections look easy! Sweet deal at 9:15! did you do the whole trail?
What video editing software do you use? And what upload settings do you use for TH-cam? Seems like your's is higher quality than mine AND loads faster...
Killing it!!! Keep up the great work. Was going to say for a girl you ride amazing but take gender out of it you have mad skill. Very impressed. Wish I could ride that good.
Not often that you hear Meg cuss. Great video!
Did I forget to edit one out? Haha oops!
Love this video.
Respect for that Utah sand. Not easy
I agree! It's like dune sand. Way tougher than the river sand we have back home.
What tire are you running? Looked to be hooking up flawlessly.
Nice job!💪
out of all the 5 MOH videos I've watched I still have no idea how anyone follows the trail. I never see any trail markers. Looked like lots of fun.
Dirt Bikes & Ice Hockey Rocks are painted. It's not hard to follow.
@@brianh8484 I have seen the dashes on the ground but at times, maybe it's the camera, they disappear
Should have ridden it in the beginning. It was called the bloody red trail. I do think our group was the first to ride it after it was marked.
Megs....what month of the year was this? It looks like the concept of going slower to go fast really pays off here🤘🤠
hey I see there's more than one hardcore chick on this ride😍 KOOL
I got a taste of this type of riding in Dominican..small sections and was relieved to get to the roads for a break. RESPECT🤙
this one is on my list
What kind of tire tubes are you running on this trail? Tubliss, mousse, heavy duty tubs?
I was running mousses front and rear.
Welcome to my state!
In my badassiessed of dreams I couldn’t ride like you! Do you give lessons or run classes? How can I get lessons if you do?
How often do you replace your piston/rings?
You’re so good in trail
What kind of camera are you using? Very nice footage
It's a GoPro hero 7 :).
I need to do this ride...I will not make it look as easy tho...
Im subscribed now😅❤
Jean Ca _ EXC Thank you! 🙏🙏
You're welcome❤
Me gustan tus vídeos..🙌🙌🙌👏👏saludos!
Do people have to change the jetting or oil mixture for slow rides like this? i have never done long slower rides like this but when i do short stuff my bike will get loaded up a bit maybe even foul a plug. i just recently got a lectron carb so trying to get that tuned in correctly so far so good.
Premix Utah change your Jetting, sometimes it’s as easy as moving the clip up on the needle jet so it sits lower. Smaller pilot jet as well maybe.
Also depends on the bike. The carb changes I suggested are what did me good on my 91 kx500 in the picture. I’m in Colorado, and ride down in he city, and high up in the mountains. No jet change unless it’s cold ass weather. Never had a fouling problem, always started up, first couple kicks.
Do you ride in Washington state ever?
So, whats is that at the 7:39 mark?
Girl U can ride💪🏻🌹
Hard sweet hard
What time of year was this?
Epic ^_^
Not shore if" Hellish" on A lite two stroke is right. Just looked like fun and I know the camera makes everything look flat. Let's up the hell factor on some dual sports 650,800.1000cc+. Five miles of arm bump and team work needed all day ! Thanks for sharing your trip out west. All of the spring rides on the East Coast of America have been but on "hold".
Big workout
