I sunk my 300 KTM in 8 ft of water at a Dual Sport in Kentucky ( Renfro Valley ) one year. And I was not alone. It’s amazing how much the water current pushes a bike .
When you first came up from the river at 12:12 I had to cringe a little when I saw all of the cactii! I'm probably going to be at the doctor's this week to have hand surgery to get a number of spines taken out of my my knuckles! It's been three weeks and they ain't coming out! Was riding in Penrose Colorado on my trials and end of day heading back to truck I went to pass an ATV who was in the middle of the road. Going to his left at about 25 mph when he started drifting over so I cut harder left when I smacked a nice tall and very dry cactus. Took a few chunks of it with me the last 1/2 mile to the truck gritting my teeth. Probably 30 or more spines I was able to get out but there's still around 10 that have become unwanted squatters. It seems humorous when it happens to others but it's serious business and can definitely cause a bad day of riding. Reminds me of another time when this happened and I ummm, couldn't, ah, reach them. My son had the embarrassing task of removing them. "Yeah shut up, I saw your dirty backside plenty when you were a baby!!" 😂 New subscriber and love the content, and Chuck Norris, really, what's not to like about that!!
Thank you, We love Chuck! Bummer about the Cacti 🌵 it can be NASTY! We seem to tangle with them fairly frequently when down in AZ. We typically pull out what we can and then wait as they fester out of the next several weeks to Months, but then seem to come out or go away 🤔 not sure where.... Let us know if you get them taken out, we just grin and bear it, but would be good to know if it’s really deep, big, bad, should a guy think about having them surgically removed. Hope you get better soon and out on your bike!🔥👊🏼
We’ve seen countless bikes flooded and I don’t know of anyone who said they had a problem later. Anyone let us know if someone has? I have never personally drowned a 4stroke and know if you keep trying to start you can bend the crank and cause all sorts of damage, the 2 stroke is more fore giving. If it gets douched real bad I’ll change transmission oil ASAP and plug. Other than that they all seem to rock on 🔥✊🏼
I flooded my WR 450 way back in the middle of no where up here in North Eastern Ontario. Riding solo. Found a slope and pushed the bike up on a 45 degree angle and waited about ten minutes for gravity to do its thing. Started after about 15 minutes. No plug removal. Didn’t have the tool to remove it anyway. It would have been a 7 km bare foot walk out. Not pleasant in motocross boots.
Absolutely! Although the banks of that section didn't look like they offered too many options. And look for the riffles in the water, it's less deep there. Had a similar situation a couple of years ago and we all knew we were getting wet so we shut off the bikes and helped each other bring them across no problem. Having someone upstream side of bike to block the flow helps but it's still a challenge!
Jack o is on point. We would have preferred to go with current, but there was no access off the bank and it was super deep as well. We had crossed there before on a shallow line but it was running way faster and about 18” higher. Jet ski would have been the ticket! 🔥✊🏼
Definitely Got Clean, Ran like a Champion afterwords with no issues. We have flooded quite a few 2 Strokes of every brand and they all seem to kick along fine throughout their lives...
Pretty ballsy and reckless at the same timeto cross that river with no intel on depth or crossing places. Got a brand new 300 2t coming in two months be fucked if I did that lol. Great content and say gday to Mossy for me.
Honestly, abuse is absolutely not the intention but it is a Gnarly World 🌎 Out There and when we fail in technique our bodies and bikes pay the price...
Great footage and riding! Man that will up your game riding with this crew! :)
Thanks Dan!

8 feet is deeeeeep! Water is pretty powerful
Every couple of years ,there's a great bike wash at that event. My xr400r still isn't the same.
You can ride deeper, these Shercos are subs.. BUT you gotta run your vent hoses up into the air box. Nothing to do with design.
Right on!
I’m loving these shercos
Great bikes!
Nice thing about Shercos is they have a crankcase drain bolt to drain a flooded motor!
Isn’t that pretty sweet! Great feature to have
Which bolt is that? i have a sherco but didn't know this...
@@isaacwalton3781 Releasing a video later today that will cover this!!
Happy New Year to you guys. All the best in 2021.
Happy New Year!!!🎈
Happy New Year to you and your Crew as Well!!!🎈

Sick video and tracks guys!
Thanks man!
Yeah Mossy, hope to see ya back in Aussie home soon.
Yes sir, he's a beast!
How are the engine bearing after this? Any long term damage? Or do they survive if you fire it up directly and burn all the water?

The sherco has a crank drain bolt for exactly this. Surprised to see you didn't use it
@@theslipperface Where were you when we needed you? 😂 Now we all know 👍🏻 🔥✊🏼
@@InsideEnduro They all end up fine.
Just curious where this is. Looks like Az.
It's an illegal area on the other side of the river. Idiots like this will get the entire area shut down for everyone !

Varryyy nniicccee
Some gnarly terrain!
Great video. You guys rock.
Thanks man!
I would cross that with my friend’s bike first. 😂
That’s a Good Idea 🤔👍🏼
super video a greeting from Italy
Thanks Man! All our best to 🇮🇹 Italy!!!! 🔥✊🏼
FYI, that's a river, not a creek. 😁
You are Correct Sir! We slowly came to the same Conclusion 😬
@@InsideEnduro lol!🤣
This was awsome 💪what an amazing place to ride 👌from uk 🇬🇧 🏴
You prob mentioned it but what state is this in?
Montana - Come Ride the Big Sky Country ❄️🔥✊🏼
I was gonna say,why are you riding against current? It is easier to not fight the water.
Absolutely! Although the banks of that section didn't look like they offered too many options. And look for the riffles in the water, it's less deep there. Had a similar situation a couple of years ago and we all knew we were getting wet so we shut off the bikes and helped each other bring them across no problem.

Nice rock climbing video ! xD
Thanks 😆
Tripped on @mattspears "inside enduro channel"...internationally known on the microphone 😉
Sick video lads 🤙
Thank you, cheers!!
good to see you got a Aussie
Shane is a beast!
Dis is a dirt bike not a submarine.
We may need to build a snorkel kit :)
you guys are hardcore, those creaks where running decent fast :)
That Sherco will be clean, but maybe need some new bearings :D
Hardest thing is getting Minnows 🐟out of the airbox 😬

I love that bike!0
Bikes are so Cool 😎🔥✊🏼
All just part of the adventure
You got that right!
Lucky you to the Apple

Great content and say gday to Mossy for me.
HAHAHAHA sometimes you just need to go for it
Whats point of risking bike when there are awesome trails on side you were riding. Anyway keep ripping. Nice video. Avagud1 mate
James is crazy
Cool!!!!
Thank you!
holy Fu*& ur strong! U picked up that thing like a trials bike
I was raised by Wolves 🐺 😂!
That is sad to see an $11,000, brand NEW bike, be put threw that abuse!!!
Honestly, abuse is absolutely not the intention but it is a Gnarly World 🌎 Out There and when we fail in technique our bodies and bikes pay the price...
Sad? What else are ya going to do? Sit at home and look at it?
Sad? Those bikes love to play and it's in their nature to get hurt, just like their owners!
@@jacko4483 Well Said, Jack! 🔥👊🏼
That Sherco looks really good. .LOL its not an orange
Well.... That was kinda dumb. Lol dirt bike does not equal boat.
Cool video though, looks like fun riding.
Yep, a boat 🚣♀️ would have been the ticket. We have crossed there before, but it was running about 18” lower..... Next Time 🔥✊🏼
Been there... this is why you never buy used enduro bikes :)
You never know where enduro bikes could have been!!
Need lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
