@@OseaD Hey O, thanks for watching and reaching out! We are using the Cardo Freecom 4 for our in-helmet communication. That said, if you're looking to buy I would go with the Pack Talk system. That wasn't available when we bought, 4-5 years ago. The new system they call "mesh" is much easier to pair and you can have a bigger group. Same company Cardo, just better tech! Good luck, and thanks again for watching!
Thank you for the quick response, great I’ve used Sena before but really like the way yours sounded. They were very clear. That would be perfect for a group or family out riding. Thanks again.
@@jeffwendorf170 hey Jeff, thanks for reaching out and the very nice compliment on the bike! The tail light assembly is a "Tidy Tail" made by Sicass. You can get them from Tacomoto.co If your're interested we have a new video dropping tonight at 8pm featuring this very bike and a couple others tackling the Red Bird Crest trail in KY. Be well, and good luck with your project!
@@2SixCyclesportsexcellent , thanks so much for your response ,I was having a hard time finding somthing I liked and that would fit, good riding , I will be watching
@@nabeelsiddiqi6695 Hi Nabeel, the plastic kit was ordered from Motosport.com, it's made by a company called Acerbis. The hand guards are by Cycra. That's pretty much it. There is a later that shows the new graphics kit going on. That was ordered through eBay bc he wanted that specific year Six Days kit, but SKDA is another great company that makes graphic, very customizable. Thanks for the question, do you have a bike you plan on refreshing? Good luck with it!
Hi. Great video! I just bought 2016 KTM EXC six days 500. I just want to change graphics as the plastic is decent for now. It will get banged up anyway as I learn to ride. Any suggestion where I can buy the graphics for my KtM and any videos to how to replace the graphics? I also need the throttle and break guards. Unrelated question - my chain rattles when I enter in third gear at low throttle. The slack is fine. Any idea what it could be?
@@nabeelsiddiqi6695 I see your second message now, I covered where to get the graphics in my previous response. Look at Motosport.com, they are a great website. You can shop OEM for any year and brand, or aftermarket parts everything form engine parts plastic brakes whatever, as well as riding gear and pretty anything riding related. The hand guards you can definitely find there as well. There are a bunch of companies making them, just look for the style and color you like. Have fun with your build!
That's a nut buster of a trail. I used to ride that in the 90's and the pine needles and sugar sand sucked you down. Looks like more fun than when I rode it now. But, man...!😮
Hey JP, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Yeah the trail has certainly changed especially in the past few years. The trail crew out there is amazing and have been working very hard adding rock sections to minimize erosion and maximize gnar! It is truly a test. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Loretta’s is having a weekend trail ride at the range in July. I think I’m gonna head up there. This was a great day guys. Appreciate the hospitality once again. 🤙
Awesome ride, your crash totally caught me by surprise. I really enjoy your running commentary describing the trail. This is the one of the few total trail rides I've seen of Graham Swamp, you've really given me a good idea of the ride. I'm not ready for that trail, it would be a hike and bike for sure. Thanks again and I'm glad your OK and the beach is awesome. I live about 30 minutes from the trail head if I ride my bike from home.
Hey Growell, thanks for reaching out! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I have a series of trail rides like that of local (central Florida) trails. That's what makes mine different than others who only show you a few minutes of the highlights. I got the idea for that when looking for trails to ride myself. You have another great trail close by, Mala Compra, have you been there? Less elevation but very fun, creative trails there. There's a video from there on the channel as well. Have fun out there and be safe! Give Graham a shot, I bet you'll do better than you think.
@@2SixCyclesports Yeah, I've ridden Mala Compra and really enjoyed it, but I go out to Moses Creek more than anywhere else. I've got to get my conditioning up before I can tackle Graham Swamp, but looking at Markham Woods that looks like fun.
Never got to ride there before injuries took me out, but it looks pretty sketchy with plenty of opportunities for a head on collision with another vehicle or bike
Hey Dave, it can be pretty sketchy, we try to ride right, I actually like trying to discipline myself to maintain the right lane while cruising down the trail but if a SxS is coming the other way.. well. Thanks for watching and reaching out. Hope you enjoyed the video anyway. Check out some of the other ride videos on the channel of you haven't already. Some good spots around Florida and elsewhere. Be good!
My bike started leaking yesterday. Washer is not that old and isn't loose so I think my seal is compromised. Noticed in the video that you have installed the chain quick clip master link backwards, the closed end should be aligned with the direction of chain travel. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching and hopefully you get yours sorted. The seal isn't that hard to replace as well. Mine is still good from this repair. Good eye on the master link! That was also righted quite a while back.
I went out to the same trail my first time out in Ocala over a year ago, and it was nothing but powder sand. We left and found a different trailhead that wasn't so bad.
Hey Mitch, yeah if you're going to ride in FL sand is something you need to get comfortable with. What's amazing is how many different types of sand there is, and it's all fun! If you're looking for a harder packed soil, try going north. Check out the St Mary's Shoals videos on the channel. Nice single track and a firmer soil. Really nice!
@2SixCyclesports I'm from jax and used to ride 4 wheelers in the sand but spent 7 years riding dirtbikes in east Tennessee. After moving back and a street bike accident, I got back to dirt bikes a couple years ago. I've been going out to Osceola the most lately.
Great video! Right after you fall in the bushes and curse ( funny! ) Robert wertmore yells at ya and he and I both sneak past ya. You follow me for quite a while. I’m in master c. Then later you run over Viktorija in women’s B and your bike won’t start. Some good racing man!
They let you run a helmet cam? I was told no more helmet mounts for ama sanctioned events so I ran a chest rig on Saturday. Looked like your class had quite a bit of carnage!
Yeah, I had no idea about the helmet mount thing until after my crash a track worker mentioned it. I went through tech and sat on the line, no one said anything. Class was fun but a lot of people to work through. It did get interesting! Thanks for the watch, be safe out there!
Hi Tiffany, I'm glad you liked the video. So much more to a Santos than Vortex, that is only the main trail sections, going out the greenway there are miles and miles of trails. This is what my trail tour series is all about, seeing a trail for what it is, not just the highlights or jump lines. Stay safe out there and ride on!
@@2SixCyclesports what a great approach. Is there anyway you can go back out to Santos and do all the BLUE trails with a helmet mount instead of chest mount? I like watching the videos the day before I go out
Great video! Having worked with Josh and Chip on creating Hammock Hollow and my own section that I personally cut, Moccasin Moat, Mala is near and dear to my heart. I have video as to why I named it Moccasin Moat! There are some big ones back in that section, you've been warned! :) Peace Marco - aka, Mala Marco!
Hey Marco! So happy you enjoyed the video, means a lot coming from someone so close to the trail. You have all done great work out there, and my hope is that many others may enjoy your trail the way we have. Gladly I didn't see any of the moccasins out there.. 😳
Great video, man! I went out here with my brothers for the first time a few weeks ago. Great trails for all levels of riders and they are continuously working on updates on the trails. There is beachside parking for this trail and its so refreshing to dip your feet after a ride before getting Captain's BBQ!
Ha, that is specifically why I went out today- to start training for FSC. I am still learning it; I did 3 laps. And you are totally right- harder than any FSC course.
Thanks eeeek! Glad you liked it. Chuck Lennon is a great trail and I love showing off our awesome local trails. A lot of hard work by the trail crew there bringing back Wild Turkey. Super fun!
Wow. Florida sucks. But if that’s all ya got then I’d move 😂. Kidding. Not really. Don’t move. We get enough of you idiots in NC every summer stinking up the place. Sorry not sorry.
Been riding about 6 months and have completed Graham a handful of times (most climbs anyway!) Great video to take me through at a similar pace to mine. Tough trail!
I notice on some of these trails you start on the left and come back on the right. Is this correct? New MTBer here. Just trying to learn proper etiquette. Id assume we would have to start on the right since we live in America and drive on the right side. Thats my logic. Not sure how it works on trails. I see these are super narrow and i dont wanna mess someone up if im going the wrong way . I recently went to Chuck Lennon and noticed at the entrance you take the left blue on certain days and on others you have to take the right blue. 1 way trails.
Most trails are one way travel so you ride where the best line is. There are some two way trails, usually connectors or routes out from the parking lot. There typically, you still ride the best line but need to be aware of oncoming traffic. When there is oncoming traffic you would pass on the right, just as in traffic on the road. No need to stay strictly to that side for the whole ride. Good question!
@2SixCyclesports there was a cool one you took where it was like a mini wall ride over the water as it pulled a 180 going back.. But you started on the left. So I was just making sure that was okay. So technically you can start on the left, when you finish it, immediately do a 180 and ride it starting from the right? Your videos are sick. I think you did the Markham woods one I commented on. I thanked you for it, it let me know to probably skip it. Which I did and went to Chuck Lennon. My wife was not happy LOL. Those blues were rough for her. I opt not to try the black called red panther. I didn't want her to totally hate life. She's not into anything extreme sadly and her MTB isn't really a MTB. It's a duel suspension Ozone. I just watched your Mount Dora video. Wow I need to go back. I stuck to the green and tried gravity destroyer while she chilled at the bench. I missed all those off shoots like pure adrenaline. I need her to download strava. She can stick to the green and I can take the off shoots and meet back up with her on the green. Trying to get my cardio on your level LOL. So I can hit the bigger parks like Santos and Alafia
@@respond_code3 yes, actually you are right about that, and no, I believe I may even say it as I'm riding that I was confused on one line going out and did ride on the wrong side accidentally, I think I may have actually changed back halfway. Those "fingers" as they call them there are definitely one way. I'm happy to hear you're liking the channel. Keep watching and keep riding!
😢 thanks for the video. New MTBer in Orlando. Was hoping there was something closer than Santos or Alafia. But its looking like a no. Just did mount dora a couple days ago. Thats probably the closest spot in this area thatll give you the pucker factor. Looks like Markham woods isnt going to cut it unfortunately. I cant believe no one has bothered to add intresting features there
Hey Respond, thanks for watching and reching out. Markham Woods has actually added a skills park since this video was made, (maybe time for an update!), and are doing work in the trails. Unfortunately there is a lot more to adding features to trails than someone just going out there and doing it. In many places, such as Markham Woods that is State land, there are many hoops, proposals and approvals every addition has to go through before it can be done. There are organizations, SORBA in this area, that work very hard to mantain and improve the trails. It is a political relationship that has to be handled the right way to continue to have access to the land. One other option that has been closed for the past few months is Chuck Lennon Park in Deland. They have been replacing and adding new wooden features that were damaged by weather. I believe it is set to open April 6th. That might pucker you up! Have fun out there and be safe.
@@johficurillispectrumnews13thank you! Didn't realize that much went into getting features put in. I just heard about Chuck Lennon yesterday. I guess that's a spot I definitely need to visit. And a few moments ago I just saw a video on virgina Park Miami. OMFG!! It's like a roller-coaster for MTBs. It is a 4hr drive. But if I can drive 4 hrs to Captiva to sit on a beach being bored. I can absolutely justify 4 hrs to Miami. I was worried about lodging prices but there's a place called coral reef suites for $92 a night near by.. Thanks again for the new info 🤙
@2SixCyclesports I know of that place LOL. I got all excited it was 20 minutes away from me. When I google mapped it to see where exactly . It was 3 hours away. Markham park and Markham woods road is not the same LOL.
Hi Marco. The trailhead is at this location: maps.apple.com/?address=Fort%20McCoy,%20FL%2032134,%20United%20States&auid=15428531785847204820&ll=29.501000,-81.815810&lsp=9902&q=Rodman%20OHV%20Trailhead&t=m
ya at 6-7min.. wiish that place would designate directions.. ridin a bike too.. almost been creamed around corners by those with jim bob chuggin a beer too many times
Yo Death! Thanks for the watch and you ain’t kiddin’ about those damn sxs’s gotta be ready at every turn and ride right! Glad you enjoyed the video, appreciate your comment. Be safe out there!
Hey there, I use a Garmin Oregon 750t. It’s ok, it’s really more for hikers but I wasn’t going to pay $500+ for the one these guys in the RU-vid videos are using. It will record tracks so that’s helpful or to set waypoints back to the truck so I don’t get lost. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed the video.
Hey 14, glad you liked the video. This one is actually on private property… check the channel for other videos at public spots such as St Mary’s Shoals (Jacksonville area), Ocala Nat’l Forest, Croom and Richloam, (Brooksville area), and a few others. Be safe out there!
I don’t believe it is. Keep an eye on the website www.bakercountyfl.org/stmaryshoals.php Notice the top left corner message in red. That will let you know.
Glade my lil group of friends aren't the only ones that are like fckin sand! You get used to it but I really wish Ocala would have some single trails so they wouldn't be all rutted by quads and sxs so much . Awesome work editing on this!
Thanks RNPM! It’s all good as long as you’re on two wheels right? Glad you enjoyed the video. There are some single track trails out there, check the other Ocala video on the channel, you’ll see some there. They are marked in green on the maps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aBva3RQrBEc.htmlsi=M7HTpro3Y_MCjmwo
Hey Pirate, good question. They have a website www.bakercountyfl.org/stmaryshoals.php follow this link and at the top left of the main page if there is a closing it will be noted there in red. I believe you’ll see it there right now actually. It’s been a crazy wet start to the “dry” season. Hope you can get out there soon! Thanks for watching! .. we use the Cardo headsets for comms. You’re full of good questions!
I am sure as you know St. Mary Shoals is typically not this wet. It is one of my favorite places to ride in the state of Florida especially when it’s a little drier.
I do know, I actually went for my first time a few weeks ago, there is another video on the channel of that ride too. It was dry then and we had a great time as well. But I’m sure you can tell if you watched especially the second half, that I was having the time of my life! Laughing all the way through the mud. I love that trail and apologize if you see you traffic increase 100% bc I can’t stop telling everyone I know how awesome that place is!
