@@isaacgentz3319 Haha, don't feel bad! This was my 2nd attempt at it. A CRF 300 is a nice bike for most trails, without a doubt, but was not particularly designed for trails like Kelly Flats. However, maybe some lower gearing might make it more obtainable. Strong work on going for it, though. That 1st 300 yards is a little rough.
Haha thanks! Definitely was a good little bike but like you say definitely has it's limits. How do you like the gas gas, and what model was that in the video? I've been contemplating getting a beta xtrainer for trails like this, but seeing you knock out Kelly flats has me thinking about gas gas now
Dude! I tried this as a newer rider on a Yamaha ttr125 a couple weeks ago and had a very similar experience and you aren't kidding, it is NOT for beginners! I'm still compiling my "fail" footage haha. Made it all the way up but also had to walk it like half of the way like you said. Funny thing is, it's left me wanting to try it again now that I've done some more difficult obstacles. Anyways, great video and hey if you're a local maybe we can ride this sometime!
Hey there, Thanks, and glad to see others are trying to conquer heart attack hill. I think what would have helped me is to drop a tooth on the drive gear. My bike is a speed demon and not a great climber. You can see this on my redcone pass video as well. Not sure if you have Instagram but if so, feel free to hit me up (the rocky mountain rider).
Excellent! Great video!
Tried this last year on my crf300l. Made it to the gatekeeper just after 0:39 and turned my behind around
