Bartlett Wash Slickrock, Moab Utah

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2024
- Bartlett Wash, located 20 miles north of Moab Utah, offers a unique slickrock riding experience. This is not a trail, per say, but an open riding area. You can ride wherever you like as long as you do not disturb vegetation or sensitive soils. Basically a giant skate park.
Check out myself and Kyle Mears riding (hucking) some of the old-school classic lines. #FollowCamFriday

This is easily the best Bartlett video I've seen. Well done Nate!
Thanks Seth, that means a lot coming from you! I was stoked on your Bartlett edit.
Dude I consider myself a professional fan in the sense I watch all the popular channels, every video, every day and I have quite a few other slick rock videos, none of which ever made me want to crap my pants while watching, this was freaken insane. No joke my favorite video of the year thus far!!!! Thanks man for the entertainment and inspiration!!!!
Sweet man, thanks for the compliment.
Seen this video 10 times and its still Sick !!!!!
I've never had the palms of my hands start to sweat watching a video before seeing this video.
Milts and that amazing playground of Bartlett is everything that makes Moab the best place to bike in the world.
I had a burger, fries, and a shake. Fat kid!
Why does Kyle look so smooth and you are smashing things like Fred Flintstone? Haha kidding, Nate! You are making my bucket list of rides grow exponentially!
Kyle breaks rocks when he rides. I am just hanging on ;)
I honestly don't feel I can even call what I do mountain biking anymore after watching videos like this lol epic rides
Some would say that this isn't mountain biking....
holy cow man, i could feel that one drop in my tummy just watching the video
There are some sizable drops out there.
Your friend is killin it
Kyle is a beast.
Had to watch it one more time. Wooo !!
Thanks!
I've ridden the Slickrock in Moab three times, but nothing, absolutely NOTHING, like the way you two did. Amazing video, and amazing skills.
Wow my jaw seriously dropped watching this. That is insane.
This is by far the best Moab open riding area video ever. Just blows everything else out of the water. Brilliant work Nate!
Thanks Max!
Ridden there a few times and to see you guys do those lines at that speed is awe inspiring. If I was watching this with a VR headset I'd be blowing chunks for sure...
"your bike sounds really good".. love it. that is one creaky Insurgent. Great vid as always.
Kyle's rear hub is less than amused with his sick watts..... And the fact that he just rode through a giant puddle, hence the angry sounding rig. Should have gotten the puddle ride on film!
Out of curiosity ... what hubs is he running on his insurgent? i9 torch?
Nate, I've been following your videos for a while now and this is the first time I've actually been worried about you.
I was ready for a "And that was the last we saw of Nate" as you got so close to those edges
That will make for some epic footage..... :)
Dude...a couple of those runs made my sphincter muscle tighten up!
Glad I could help with that, haha.
Kudos guys. I was grabbing my monitor and pushing my ass behind my chair on those drops! crazy footage
I love your videos so much man! They make me happy. They remind me of good days I've had.
Thanks for watching.
Wow! Great video!..love the buzzing hub sound on that evil bike.
Serious Mojo. Props for hitting those with a gimbal. Keep them coming cause it makes my work computer happy
So you are getting paid to watch these. Win, Win!
Bro you guys were killing it. Hope you are well protected cause I can't deal with injury time off. Just unbelievable.
Knee pads and half shell for the win!
I rode Bartlett Wash in 2007. You and I had very, very different rides!
That looked violent like your whole bike was going to need a tune up after that ride. Glad you didn’t get hurt crashing on that slick rock. Mears has some seriously sick bike handling skills too!
Kyle is a boss! My bike loves the abuse, haha.
Jesus Nate... That made my palms sweaty
Hahaha, good times!
blundercat87 the best way to

Pucker factor was real high on some of those lines, Nate!
JRA ;)
1:31 nutz bro... Crazy cool ride! That was srly the coolest TH-cam bike vid I've ever seen! So rad
Thanks for the compliment, had a ton of run making this.
great riding spot!
Really interesting terrain. Do you know of anywhere else like this in the world?
no I don't, I haven't really ridden much outside of the lower mainland in B.C. so far
Such a contrast from the roots and steeps of BC. This is petrified loam.... You don't want it on your dome....haha, merry Christmas!
Without a doubt your best video yet ! Keep em coming 😎
Thanks. I am testing "showing personality". Glad you enjoyed our antics.
I've been to Moab 5 times but I've never know about this place. I could spend my whole trip just finding lines. Like a slick rock MTB skate park. Best video yet Nate.
Check it out, hours of entertainment.
wow man, that looked intense and i havn't ever been as scared watching other vids. You captured the thrill of that riding well.
Hard to do this place justice with GoPro POV.
Nate Hills I think it helped that you followed someone so the viewer can better see the vertical changes in direction.
For sure. It just amazes me how much the gimbal makes the impacts look so smooth. The one big drop that we rode, looks like we never left the ground...
Wow for mountain bikers this place looks like a wonderland!
YO Nate, I know I'm a bit late with the comment but I HAVE TO ask, what gopro settings do you use? Protune? How can the quality be soo Amazing
Thanks mate!
4K 30. No protune.
Great ride guys! but be careful next time Nate! we don't wanna see you die bro! You have a lot of followers that you inspire man!🤘🏽
Haha, safety first;)
Famous last words, "i trust you". Classic! 🤘🏼
Its awesome to see your vids. Its cool to see the yetis in action and being put into different scenarios and settings.
Doing my best to put the Yeti's through the ringer for everyones enjoyment! Haha.
Wow that was intense!
Haha "How do we get back?" "... I don't really know"
+Tim Maddux I know! cue the desert rescue video. "I don't really know" doesn't inspire confidence 😂
What a location? Great riding, great video -- jealous! Keep them coming...
Thanks for watching.
So sick - what a playground!
Awesome scenery and awesome driver
Another amazing video Nate. This is definitely one of the best. Love it!
Thanks!
Was that as much fun as it looked? Some of those off camber side of the hill sections looked sketchy as hell.
Truly enjoy this style of riding, and yes, the off cancer bits are sketchy. One slip and..... you know what happens.
Awesome video and wild tide - keep them coming
Thanks!
Geez, that's some bad ass riding. Keep it up!
what kind of gimbal and go pro do you use?
Links in video description.
Dude, that's some of the steepest terrain I've seen you do yet great video keep on Rock'n
Another excellent vid from Nate... Inspiring as usual, best taken with a strong IPA!
Thank you for enjoying an IPA while enjoying this video. Proper usage.
Nice video as usual... I would be scared about going to Milts and then heading straight to a trail without the chance of proper restroom :)
Haha, nice. You are currently winning the comments!
You could pretty much call this "Riding on Mars".
So rad though!
Cheers Nate
Pretty much.
Man those were some crazy lines!
Nate, Buddy... I've came back to this vid again today and I was wondering: what bike rack are you using here? in Germany all I can get are Thule and some others, but they don't seem to fit most modern frames that well... with the bar going over the front wheel like that is the best system I've seen so far...
would you care to enlighten me?
Thizzanx, and can't wait for today's episode of #followmefriday
Wow.. vertigo kicked in about 2:15... great video!
😮😮amazing. ..
👍👍 .
great n awesome ride . .!
I love the sound of bikes taking abuse in Moab terrain. One of my favorite parts of riding out there is listening to my rig sing from blasting through shit.
Music to my ears!
and how the heck is your gimbal so stable. My chesty and gimbal were flying all over the place today?
I am working on a setup video.
Wow! My week has been made!
Sweet, thanks for watching!
Nate, is that a Reverb dropper w/ lefthand under-bar mount for the trigger? If so, is that a custom setup or a right-hand flipped upside down?
It is just a right hand flipped upside down. Rock Shox makes a right and a left remote option.
"I trust you." Do you still? 'cause that guy is crazy..... Another amazing video!
Yes, with my life. Kyle is certified.
Yes indeed. Sorry, was just kidding -- I know you trust him. He is one amazing rider. Even more impressive, you keep up with him the whole time.
Haha, I know you were kidding:) But Kyle is crazy, for real :) haha. Always a challenge to keep up with him. Keeps me sharp.
Great video Nate! Is this on the sb45c or 5.5c, thanks!
5.5 for this one. Handles the violence a bit better!
I cant belive what I see ! Do you feeling fear while riding these crazy rocks ? Good job !
Definitely keeping it in check.
Gnarly... dude. Gnarly!
Absolutely amazing...
7 mins of fantastic.
Cheers!
Whats Kyle riding, Is that an Insurgent or the Wreckoning?
Which ever the longer travel one is...
Crazy and exciting!
my butt clenched many times watching this
nice big hits and drops on that trail. One of the places I really want to ride at some point in the future.
Definitely worth a visit.
This is AWESOME!
You got the best vids man
Thanks!
mears is quite a beast... gawddamnit... i like his style
dope video once again
Full beast mode all the time. I often feel sorry for his bike.... poor thing.
Nate Hills she's a sturdy gal... she can take it
Great Video..scary..Good Job safe and sound
Dang dude, Kyle Mears rips!! Sweet video. I need to check out Bartlett on the next Moab trip.
Kyle is the man.
LOL, you had me leaning to the right in my chair on some of that.
My videos are interactive!
That is fantastic !!!
Still my favorite MTB video by far!
Anyone else watch BKXC/Seth/Alex on this but think that these guys are so much smoother?
much smoother, faster, great control, and huge balls!
I love to watch BKXC/Seth/Alex videos, in part because I can semi-relate to them as younger and more skilled versions of myself. But Nate and his crew ... I can't even fathom having their skills. Which is why I love these videos as well :)
We love to watch Nate's/BKXC's/Seth's and Alex's content not only because of the amazing trails they ride or their skillset. It's because they bring so much stoke of MTB to their videos!! Love this stuff.
I like all of them. I dont watch mtn bike video on youtube based
on who rides the smoothest.
Well said, Sureshot. And agree with you Marty, I like them all.
Hell yeah!
How often do you have to true your wheels after a run(s) like this annd did you have any damage to your ride after this run? lol
The bike held together surprisingly well. My 5.5 is a beast.
Nate hills what kind of mount do you use for your Garmin?
SRAM makes a clean unit that attaches to the bars and holds the Garmin over the stem.
Nate Hills thank you sir for the recomdation I ordered one got it in and love it works perfect
I have been waiting for you to do a SlickRock trail vid!
Whoa - Mears gravity tours hold on to your beep. Sick Vid bro.. Good Job man.
"How do we get back?" "Uhhh, we'll wait til night and navigate by the stars."
looks like a real good day out.
Awesome.. Makes me want to ride my bike!!
Get it.
given that its an open riding area, how easy would it be to get dangerously lost out there?
It would be relatively hard to get lost as the area is not that large. It would be easier to get hurt out there ;)
haha, with that response, howd that crash go for you? looked pretty rough, did you just land crooked?
Didn't crash, just hucked 7 ft to flat, and hit my camera on the bars, haha
Well said!!!!
I was also wondering if that was a crash, it looked intense :)
Which action camera do you have? And do you have a gimbal?
I have links to my camera setup listed in my video description if you are interested.
Thanks!
Hey Nate! I really like your videos.. And I just want to keep going to follow your videos. I dont want to watch the your last video that you fall down to rocks!!! I have a bad expreience man. I saw a girl who fall down from 5 meters in a valley. I was there and I couldnt do nothing. The ambulance came 5 hours later because of the logistic problems. I mean be carefull man! We really like you. Dont ride too close to the last!!
Haha, I'll try my best to not fall of any cliffs.....
Bro was there even a marked trail on the rock??? Awesome place
No markings out at Bartlett. It is an "open" riding area. Basically a giant skate park.
After this you’re in my top five channels...
Nate I'd love a video about how you make your gopro videos look so damn good! The colour and sharpness is outstanding compared to everyone else!
Nothing too special. Just 4K 30 straight into iMovie. I rarely do any color grading. The steady-cam lets the camera perform at its best. It doesn't hurt that the scenery is relatively stunning either, haha.
dude, that was frickin awesome! from a fan back in blighty
Thanks Yo!
Nate, are you riding clipless pedals? what type if so?
Yup. Shimano XT's.
thanks
Double Wow!! Gotta try Bartlett next time...
Love this video.
Who needs padded shorts when a full diaper does the job !! Sick video Nate , mucho respecto !!!
Been there,, you guys make look so easy,, I had a nightmare with a heavy metal hard tail,, pushing up the hills all day😂
That chute you guys did was super scary for me lol. I only had 2 days on a mountain bike at this point. But I sent it
You guys have some big stones riding those sheer drop offs. 5:40 dont do it lol lol.
That looked so fun!
