For the impatient, 5:00 is the beginning of the climb and therefore a good starting point. • Amazing dirt bike fall...
UPDATE: Oct 19th 2019
Bike recovery video at: • Roads End Adventures. ...
See my channel for additional videos on bringing the KTM back to life!
A mishap on the climb up Schofield Pass, near Crested Butte, Colorado on September 4th, 2019. Video is long but thought it best to leave nearly uncut. It shows the descent, anxiety at the bottom and then a partial climb. What follows is the off path madness and splashdown into the punchbowl. I was completely uninjured and climbed out within 15 minutes of the incident.
Some stills are included near the end.
• Amazing dirt bike fall...
There are so many friends, enthusiasts and visitors that helped in the minutes, hours and days that have followed the incident.
* Ryan Edwards and Matt Watson for providing on the scene help
* Mountain Moto Jam 2019 crew (Ryan, Matt, Evan, Barry, Bry, Don, Jim, Ty, Slade, Mark, Andy, Gabe, Todd, Scott, Dave)
* Scott and Melanie Davie for the Jeep ride out
* Seth from the G.O.A.T.S. www.gunnicbgoats.com

Most importantly, thanks God for your protection....show me the path.
So what happened?
Riding a dirt bike across obstacles typically requires the rider to maintain momentum. As can be seen, I chose a riding line on the left as I thought it looked easier. I wasn't going quick enough and the front tire got kicked to the left which caused my throttle hand to twist and ... well .. you saw the rest.
How about the fall?
First I grabbed for anything to slow me down; check out the shadows. No, time didn't stand still or slow down. I thought of my kids, called out to God and fell perfectly into the water. Once I surfaced, I thought I was going to drown but thankfully the edge was close by and I was able to gather myself, take a deep breath and patiently wait for help. - บันเทิง

I grew up in Crested Butte and we go cliff jump there. That is the deepest and only jumpable spot on the entire pass. You sir, are incredibly fortunate
Weres the spot
@@leorehder901 its in the video....
I guess spirits are still jumping there, and didn't see you 😕 😆
@@ryanv1279 did he pass a sign with the gps coordinates or something? I didn’t see it
@@yamkaw346 its schofield pass in colorado. Look up where the waterfall on shofield pass is and youve figured out where that cliff is.
I normally use a pressure washer to clean my bike. This is taking bike washing to a whole new level. Glad you're okay!
ZachAtk1 hahahahaha literally laughed out loud right now dude 😂😂😂
ZachAtk1 well played 👌
I read this comment in the voice you use to voice over your dirtbike races 😂
Love you videos though zach cant wait for the next one u post!
ZachAtk1 damn dude! You can ride!
Probably fell from the only place where he could even have a chance at hitting water deep enough to save his life.
That's right! I didn't think of that part! Wholly crap!
@Bob Watters You're wrong mate. He slid down about 1/3 of the way and then went over an edge straight down in the water. If you freeze frame at 5:31 you can see the exact moment he goes over that edge (head first) That edge is also visible on the photo at 8:41. There is a guy in a black jacket (not the guy in blue) standing right below it.
Why would one to feel the need to beat themselves and their bike up to just ride down this and straight back up? The risk vs the accomplishment. I don't get it.
@@robjohnson8861 what are you talking about?? The dude fell off a cliff... you think he did that on purpose?
@@jadenhurd7187 His decision to do something very stupid (twice) was on purpose. Can you not grasp that?
That escalated quickly. Glad you’re ok, that was a wild ride.
I hear you got a KTM for sale, slightly used.
Lol
Dan Bogardo I already laid claim to it.
Dan Bogardo check out the channel 😀
Never ridden in the rain even
Dropped once
Just did hiked that trail two days ago and the bike is still tied up down there and looked like it’s in pretty good shape. Glad I got to find out how it got there and even more stoked that you’re okay!
thank you
*Attention*
free bike, needs work, must bring own trailer
@ich kirinFrom the sound of the comment, still tied up down there.
4RM I’m confused on why ur even mad??
Trap Myugen dude there’s no way you’re defending that guys comment 😂😂
When your riding skill is only lvl 2. and you hit the lvl 9. trail
(I know the guy wasn't a bad rider, i was only joking)
Yeah, he was (panting like crazy, balance was off from the start, gave the bike gas when it was pointed off a cliff, was too tired to be observant and listen to instructions) like when his boy said to "stay right" about 4 times. I would have pulled him off the bike and walked back with him after the down hill because he shouldn't be out of breath from that. But I don't know how well his boy could hear that.
Even on the way down I kept wondering, what is he doing and where is he going..?
That trail is not that difficult at all. My 10 yr old has been up and down it 10 times
@@MrSurvivalexpert I don’t know how I’d feel about a child trying to navigate a trail with a tremendous drop along side it 🤔
@@zimalahuabeo1061 get a life you jobsworth
My heart was in my throat way before you went over the edge. I said "Hope there's no waterfall" right before you pulled out & saw the chasm before you. Glad you made it out alive!
Now he's gotta call Mors Mutual
Zeno Playz rip the Sanchez
Zeno Playz just watched gta video and I could easily destroy you in 1v1
😂😂
@@theshark6743 you probably could now since I stopped playing video games months ago
the sanchez is gone
the fact he was conscious when he hit the water likely saved his life and the fact he wasnt unconscious is quite frankly unbelievable. one lucky man
His gear definitely saved him
That’s a nice snell rated Italian helmet.
Was thinking the same looks more like he slide down because he jumped off the bike but then rocks along he edge look rough.
@@Stevo8800 Definitely slid down it.
It doesnt look like he hit the rocks so hard to go unconcious but there was always a chance
I RACED & TRAVELED EAST COAST RACING MOTOCROSS 1998-2009 & ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!! MY BROTHER!! You were very lucky fall from this high into WATER TO BREAK YOUR FALL & THE FACT YOU WEREN'T KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS WHEN HITTING YOUR HEAD & DROWNED BEFORE HELP COULD COME.... ANGELS WATCHED OVER YOU ON.THIS DAY & IT CLEARLY WASN'T YOUR TIME TO GO... Im Glad your OK & Survived this insane fall. I hope you were able to get your Bike out somehow... 🙏
My husband and I just got back from riding in marble, ouray, and Silverton. Those mountains are gorgeous, but unforgiving. While watching this, I had flashbacks of some of the ledgerocks we rode on...so I could almost feel it when you went over the edge! I'm so glad you're ok!
Its sure nice to see everyone criticizing this guy telling him how he could have "easily" avoided this and that he shouldnt be on that bike or riding that terrain. Crazy shit happens to even the best of us so everyone relax lol
Yeah sure, but he really shouldn't of been out there 😂.
@@christopheralldredge9298 i think he should have just stuck with his riding partner and followed his line choice and probably would have been alright
thats just a huge excuse and wildly inaccurate, if you ride with any regularity, the bobble that this guy made should have barely been noticeable let alone enough to topple you into the river at that turn. I have 20 years riding experience, and have ridden this exact trail when I was an inexperienced child. This guy had no business being here. he is lucky to be alive
Yes cause we all know once you rrach a certain skill level you NEVER EVER wreck anymore
Uhhh, let see, riding you bike on a mountain trail, next to a cliff, going fast, on the edge of the path, isnt avoidable??? Uhhh????? Did anyone force him to do that??? The ONLY reason I ride and dont go off the edge of a cliff is I choose not to ride on one- pretty easy math.
liberty mutual, what is your claim?
him: hi, I just hit an animal.
sure we will process your claim. what animal did you hit?
him: a fish.
Lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 I'm dead 💀 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Haha, didn't see that coming, but it was worth the read. Thank you!
Just a fish..
Every experienced rider knows that feeling, when you're on for a big fall and lots of pain. Cheers to him for shaking off a huge fall.
What's he shaking off? His arm and leg from the rest of his body? (Please understand the joke)
5:30 you can hear the visor get crushed, and I can't help but think that if you had been 2 inches closer to that rock you wouldn't be here man. glad you're okay. you must have some grand purpose in this world! I hope you find it 💙 stay safe dude
Pretty much a combo of my worst nightmarish ways to die:
Motorcycle crash
Cliff fall
Drown....
No way a cliff fall would be as bad as drowning your crazy
I'm with you on this one. I got sweaty watching the video.
Fuel fire on water surface
@@liamtaylor9806 Drowning is actually supposed to be one of the easiest painless way to die, as soon as you breathe one lungful of water everything shuts down and you're dead.
@@southwestadventures5508 fuck that😂
5:26.
Man I’m glad your ok after that one
Thanks Seven!
That definitely could have been worse. Also glad he's ok, and thanks for posting the time of the incident
seven cureton man that’s crazy glad he ok! I’ll stick to MX thank you very much
Rick every time I watch this my heart stops man. Again, truly glad you ended up ok.
Dont know why this was in my recommended, but definitely worth the time to watch! You were very lucky not to be injured, seriously injured or killed. BTW, I love the time stamp for" the impatient" & how you expressed your gratitude to everyone that helped you during all this!! Stay safe, crazy man!! I wouldnt of walked on that trail yet alone rode a dirt bike on it. 💜
Glad you're still with us..🙏
I mean you had a chance to say F*CK, so thats pretty impressive in itself.
Definitely sounded more like "sh*t" to me.
@@Zuch3to he said fuck
DirtBikeNews that’s because the shit leaving his ass caused a vacuum at the voice box.....understandably so! I said S%*t and F&$k several times for him!
Merra Farms Nope. You can hear him say “sh” before the bleep. I have no clue how either of you got “fuck” from that.
@@Pepe-ts9ec this is how it happened to hear fuck, in my case... so i'm watching the video, obviously waiting for the event and still all of the sudden i hear myself yelling "fuck!!! "
mr Rick did use other terms @5:25, i just couldn't hear him the first time..:}
Every time when I get to ride on new trails even do I been riding for a while I still feel goosebumps on terrains like this one. It doesn’t matter how much experience you have , you could get badly injured or kill on the most easy trails. But we as a humans have that challenging instinct and push us to the limit without seeing consequences. I’m glad you made it safe. 👍👍👍
But you ride a quad so.......
@@patrickmartin1644 I ride both.
@@slider7631 you are so right brother. I ride both Dirt bikes and Quads and Quads are really dangerous because it makes you feel too comfortable and that's when people abuse the throttle.
Good thing to be aware of each time you go out to ride. It’s some of the innocuous places that I have found myself upside down on my dirt bike. I’m glad that I have made it my own requirement to ride with complete protection on.
The scenery just gorgeous...
Glad you folks are okay! Gotta be super extra careful, not much room for error.
I just became a subscriber of your amazing Adrenaline adventure channel. I’ve had my share of wipeouts but this one tugged at my heartstrings, especially when you were floating in the pool with not much movement and no one to help, glad you’re ok, what a horrible thing to happen in one of the most scenic rides. Definitely a triple black diamond navigating that rocky outcropping. Keep up the great videos love your channel man!
Moral of it all: don’t ride alone.
Riding with someone would not of changed what happened or the outcome. But yes, don't ride alone.
I was just thinking of doing some riding by myself. I’m have some second thoughts now.
Also that suomy make dirt bike helmets, who knew ?
It seems the trail was more advanced than his riding ability. New clothes, New bike, and some hesitation on the rocky section tells me he was a fairly new rider. That had to have some scary sh!#! I hope he was ok, and still continues to ride
100% agree
@Freedom 1775 preach
Him puffing and wanting to catch his breath before heading back up hill was a bit of a worry. 😦
Nope!
@Freedom 1775 damn I thought that s curve section that he fell off the second half of was pretty gnarly!
I'm not dirt biker, that being said I literally don't know how you would smoothly navigate those turns, with that grade, and all those big rocks!
Well outside of how I would handle it on Trials Rising lmao XD
Man! I puckered up just watching this. I am happy you lived to tell the tale.
Holy shit, I used to ride my dirt bike on this all the time when I lived in Crested Butte. I'm super happy you are alive man.
Woahhh, wild 😯
A comment from Donut, sweet! This guy obviously had Mo' powa' Baby! Pop up up and down headlights😁
Sick I just bought a hat
dad?
Hey, its Donut.
Wonder why you all surprised! Donut´s preferred means of transport is the motorcycle - as we all know. ;-)
I love how he managed to slam into a wall, free fall in midair and still yell “OH MY DAMN”
That is talent!
The one spot on that trail where the water is deep enough to save you. You're a lucky man
I say blessed
That is pretty much every riders nightmare as they ride on cliff edges! You got SOSOSO lucky!! Such a dangerous situation. So glad you didn't get seriously injured!! Thanks for sharing!
Holy crap dude! I am glad you survived this fall. I am glad everybody pulled through to help you out with everything.
I like how he's calling encouragements to himself as he falls, "C'Mon Now!"... glad you're ok.
I don't think that was him.
@@briphi1018 who else was there
He said 'oh my god,' when getting submerged was inevitable.
Thank God you are safe and back with your family. God was looking out for you and your family.
So glad you're alright and nothing happened to you. I cringed and had flashbacks, but would live to see some pictures of the bike following the aftermath. Wouldn't ask if I didn't know the details on how your health was. But since we all know you're back on a bike some pictures would be lovely. Rock on brotha. Again glad to see you're in good health.
Look at the other videos on his account, shows the when we got the bike, and rebuilding.
I want to see the bike recovery pls. You were lucky buddy!
It was still I recovered last weekend
check the description for the recovery link
I usually leave my bike on the trail when I want to go for a swim
the video clarity and the equipment's stability/durability and or also the quality of the camera used is awesome - especially after falling and being knocked about the rocks - and then being submerged in the drink.. he actually seemed quite calm/composed for having almost died in my opinion.. and besides for the obvious fact of having the needed experience and of course most importantly is common sense .. just having the level of skill/instinct needed to match what type of riding your going to be doing is pretty damn important and it's also good to see people like him having/utilizing good quality riding/safety equipment (minus a damn parachute) as those things while being expensive can prevent serious injury and or in some situations even death .. great video all around....
... Okay, I have read enough comments, glad you survived.
How long was it before your riding partner came back looking for you?
How did you (and friends) get the bike out?
How long did that take?
Thanks.
Just cause a gps says turn left now, doesn’t mean you should listen. Lol.
Technology wouldn’t lie! - Michael Scott
I drove my car into a fucking lake
This is crazy, it's like a hollywood short film from the decent with the little slip for foreshadowing, the anxiety and anticipation at the bottom, then the inevitable fall and fight for survival through the chaos.
And his bike didn't want to start up as they were heading back
Congrats on surviving! I’ve been in over my head a few times on my dirt bike but I only do that when death is very low risk. My fear of heights wouldn’t even allow me to hike that trail!
Wow! That was so intense. One hell of a fall. Glad you are alright.
Shame of the bike. But what a story to tell. Holy shit.
It's a 2 stroke so just dump the gas drain the oil clean out the carb (2019 may be fuel injection) turn it over a few times to get the water out and you're good to go....after replacing all your fluids of course.
@@Peanutdenver no it's not😂
Hunter Petrovich its a 2 stroke!!! Watch the recovery video you can see the expansion chamber on the exhaust header!!!
@@scarface-39 Your are correct my dude. He even throws up the make, year and model of his bike at the beginning of the vid at th bottom of the screen.
@@hunterpetrovich1460 Dude watch the beginning of the vid.. .Or learn more about dirt bikes before you start talking smack on the ole inter-webs....ok spanky
Glad you escaped without injury. That was a scary looking episode. Stay safe out there, beautiful trail!!!
Man, buddy I’m sure glad you’re ok. That was a scary fall.
Yep, I remember that one when it came out several years ago. That was incredible. You got lucky man. 8 lives left.
I probably shouldn't have watched this the night before a 78 mile extreme trail ride tomorrow morning!!!!....jesus.
Endoed off a fn cliff... no joke landed on a pile of rocks fractured 3 ribs! Last 34 miles of trail were hell lol
I was bout to ask do you died
@@reefym2627 still here just hurts to breath, or move, or do basically anything but yup still here hehe
@@mikehickman3635 any video of it by any chance. Thankfully you made it out.
Rip lmao
Super stoked you walked away from this! No way I'm showing this to my wife... I'm going to go pray with my dirt bikes now. I'm also going to light a candle. Buy a rabbits foot. Maybe go pray some more......
That a boy
Damn what an insane experience. Glad you made it out! My first thought when you hit the water was how heavy the boots and gear must felt trying to stay above water. Bet you puckered on that one!!
Scary shit man. Just good to see you re ok. All the best and keep on riding. Cheers
This is going to go viral soon. Glad you’re miraculously okay! That was a hell of a fall
Wow! Glad you are ok
Hey
How in the world?!!.. I've done this pass once! And that's it...never again. Made me appreciate my life so much to survive it. I never saw any such spot that you fell into! That's a God thing!
DUDE!! That is some official bragging rights, right there! Im pretty sure he hit two? shelves before plunging into ice cold water? He was cussing on the way down even though he had like half a second of time after that last shelf impact. Im impressed
So lucky you were! Glad you were able to walk away. Good luck with the bike recovery today.
Gotta be one of the scariest experiences in the world, glad you were ok!
That’s terrifying! 😱 I’m glad you are alright. Thank God! 🙏🏻
Totally blows my mind. You were being watched over, no question. Good to see you climb out safely.
He said "KEEP RIGHT" not hard left.
Signs said “ NO LEFT TURN HERE”
Signs said “DEATH LEFT”
🤔 which way should I go... Left? Or Left?
He went LEFT 🙄
😁
Guys, the bike slipped out on him with the loose terrain underneath. It bucked underneath him, most likely causing him to briefly pull more throttle, making him lose control. It didn’t look like he intentionally steered left. It looked like his tire got caught in a groove and forced him left.
Hey Rick, so glad you are OK, that was scary to watch I'm sure it was a hundred times worse to go through!
Keep on going!
thank you
Man thank your blessings on this one. 🙏🏻
Riding beyond one’s skill level is a dangerous game. A man’s got to know his limitations. Very fortunate to have no injuries...
Limits? I remember when I was young just trying to keep up with my dad from trail head to trail head, limits are obstacles meant to be overcome.
@@stereotypicalwhitemale848, I’m sure your Dad, while challenging your skills, wouldn’t have subjected you to a possible death risk. My point is, one needs to gain experience where death is not a possible outcome.
@@zerodollarman yes but this kind of riding is only learned by doing it, fall down learn a lesson..... just try not to fall 35 feet into a raging river lol
Oh man.... Pretty much my worse nightmare!
yah it would be if he fell on the rocks. falling in the water isnt that bad
No no, worse is without the water.
when is more extra D content coming?
YO SUB D WADDUP WHERES ARSON
at 4:00 is the mistake ...if you are a rider and you feel you losing the confidence on your skills just take a break as long as you need and take it easy ..the adrenaline make you doing mistakes over mistakes .....glad to be alive !!!Nice video bro!
That was the elevation kicking their ass's. They had no business going any further.

You didn't race pro
Beautiful way to go out like bro, come on! got that crystal clear water, beautiful trees
Man. So happy you are okay. Great pic at the end. Aloha.
It’s crazy watching videos like these knowing what is going to happen but the rider doesn’t know and it’s just a normal day for them
That was something that could have easily happened to any of us, but dude how are you not injured you should try your luck on the lottery after that.

@Donald Trump and diarrhea.
@@elcucuygarage lmao good one
You cant just tell the temperature of water by looking at it
DaKool Kid I can
DaKool Kid that’s probably ice melt from the mountains. Pretty chilly no matter what time of year.
Been over that pass a half dozen times on my dirtbike. Last time had just returned to camp at the base and some guy walked into camp at sundown saying he just drove his 4X4 over the edge (like many others) and needed a ride back over to the Crested Butte side.
Never resisting a opportunity to go ride I rode that thing with him on the back at night, dropped him off in Butte and road back to camp arriving around midnight.
And why you never ride a dirtbike in Colorado without a strong headlamp.
Great video, we've all been there unfortunately...
What an epic place to slip. Lovely scenery. I am glad your trip did not end in disaster.
As a rider, I'm glad you alive. As a rider, this scared the crap out of me.
Are you a rider??
@@toliver.99 I did say that 2 times.. so yes, I am a rider.
He was already off the trail when he was sitting at the bottom resting with his buddy. Fear has a funny way of taking over your mind and making you do exactly what you don't want to do. To take on terrain like that you have to commit to it without letting your mind slip into what-ifs. If that road was between two hills and there were no cliffs he could have done it without thinking about it much. He needed that kind of confidence. Amazing video, glad he's okay! Thanks for sharing it!
Bikes can be replaced. They’re just things. Lives can’t. Glad you’re OK!
Somehow, I drove this from the CB side to Marble twice in a VW bug. The first time was in a rented bug. The second time, I took my own bug and got a flat tire about the place where you went diving. I’m glad it was on the inside front tire and not an outside rear tire. When I was in beginner mode on my Yamaha ttr 125, the creek crossing was too high for me to navigate. Thankfully, it’s what kept me from thinking that I could handle this cool Pass on my dirt bike. You got it. I didn’t know about having a healthy dose of fear or smarty’s in me at that point in my life. Now, I think about how far I might have to walk or crawl to get help.
Just glad you got out of there alive! What an "oh shit!" moment!
Thank God you hit the water. Shared with some of the other groups.
Glad you made it out. I hope you're ok, and mended up.
Im glad you're alive and well!
I’d be honored to die in water that clean!
If it had been me, I would have left a bit of stool in it.
watchman1872 😂
It's probably not clean anymore with the oil and fuel now in it.
Best comment Nick 👍🏽
@@1313jerry1313 Stop being weird, tree hugging liberal.
That's a combo adventure ride. Moto, cliff dive, swim , and rock climb. Nuts.
If he had a parachute he could have covered that too.
I'm very thankful you survivied!
I'm glad everything turned out okay for the new scuba diver! That rider was unbelievably fortunate when you consider the distance he traveled down and the immovable objects between the trail and the water that could have caused tremendous physical injury.
After watching it a few times I'm getting the impression that the angle of rock to the righthand side is just enough to create a similar effect to that created by the angled concrete freeway dividers we're all familiar with.
That divider was created to reduce the number of vehicles crossing into oncoming lanes. The angle is a sort of mild "V" shape, rotated 90°. It is designed to deflect a moving object from the ground upward where it then strikes the opposing angle of the concrete barricade, which doesn't prevent crashes in the same direction of travel, but it does reduce head on collisions.
That same angular momentum seems to have pushed the dirtbike where it's rider had no plans to go.
The company that makes your helmet should use this as a commercial.
And the camera.
Suomy are an expensive helmet. I'd say he got his money's worth.
Holy sheet, glad your ok!
Glad you all good and I hope your bike don’t leak and dirts the beautiful clean mountain water to much!!
Once tried to go that way with Jeep, just too narrow. You are really lucky and agree with you on the Lord's plans! The other route past crystal is just beautiful, as well! We miss our Colorado days a lot.
Always look where you want to go. That last throttle blip did you in. Glad you're ok.
That was crazy, glad you survived!
Glad you made it. Saddle up and get another adventure!
I've run that in a SxS and it was so rocky, narrow and loose I couldn't image even walking it. Going up there on a motor cross is crazy. Glad you're ok as that could have been a lot worse.
Some people walk out. Some don't. 9/19/2015 = me getting permanently paralyzed from chest down, after riding dirt bikes for 30 years. Careful out there. Only takes one freaky landing, then you're toast.
I'm sorry to hear that what exactly happened to you sir
👏👏👏 captain obvious, but if he's gonna preach to people, better danged we'll be prepared to answer the one question that'd be on everyone's mind.
@@robw3761 Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you asked a q. I love questions. I went down a treacherous decline, then got off trail. I've had more success hanging on, instead of dumping. So I hung on. But then my front wheel hit something, my bike stopped dead in its tracks, and I flew over the handle bars. In the many spills I've had over the years, I landed ok. But this time I landed flat on my back. I begged my bro in law to remove the rock out of my back and told him I couldn't feel my legs, as I was writhing in pain and gasping to breathe. Well, that wasn't a rock. It was my broken spine. But I must say, in many respects my life got better. I got married, and woke up to the important things. Would of those things happened anyway? I dunno. Maybe. But all is well. Thanks for asking!
@@americanmanstan2381 I'm glad things are going good for you now that's awesome that you got married she must be a very special woman 💯😉
@jessie makara eh? learn from others.
Thank God you made it through that accident. That would definitely scare the crap out of anyone.
Bad ass bro, you were right where you were supposed to be riding the trail you were supposed to be on! Amazing experience my man!
he was probably like "wow thank god there was water"...2 seconds later "oh F$%& im in water, in riding gear "
