America's Best Dirt Bike Trail 

Why

Because nobody needs every jack hole in the nation to go out and ruin it for the people that do know

Cause he's a dik

Why?

Why you wally - They are public and we don't watch this to watch you but learn about new trails. I think your ego's gone off the rails

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I feel those of us that put out content publicly have a responsibility to showcase our sport in the most positive way possible.

Perfect conditions, i am envious. My trails have many side by sides on them nowadays and they kick up the dirt and make it very dusty. Like riding in a dust storm. I ride on days after it rains, sometimes in the rain even. U have to where a dust mask, i have a custom made washable foam one that fits with my helmet. Sometimes, we go two weeks without rain in the heat of the summer, and i am on lake michigan. You would think rain would be more periodic, but its not. Mostly dirt and sand, not alot of big rocks. The forests however are amazing. Upper penisula, it is thick and green. Some areas so think your boxed in and breaking thru all the brush would be a pain in the a ss so you stay on the trail. Bears, wolves,coyotes, wolverines, elk, etc. We even have large rattlesnake, although rare. We just do not have the mountains or elevation which is a different riding experience.

Exactly. In a former life, I did a lot of mountain biking, often on hiking trails listed in "A Foot and a Field" in San Diego county. Some of the trails were shared with horseback riders, and those animals can destroy a trail, especially after a rain.

Yep yep. Horses do so much more damage than bikes. It’s actually not even close.

Thanks. It's a very long trip to get to this place so I'm definitely not in a rush to get through the trail. So much beauty to take in here.

It rained the night before, amazing conditions!

Thanks. I did get another amazing ride in north of this area as well.

This is tied for the best trail I've ever ridden. Bike ran great with the Smartcarb.

Not a spot you want to mess up on!

Thanks 👍

Yes, I have plenty of gnarly trails at home. Definitely went to this one for the scenery. You should go ride it!

@@PNWEndurois there a reason why you answer and comment on everyone’s questions/comments except the ones asking where this is??

@Anthony Thomas yes I’ve explained many times why I don’t post locations publicly and how people can message me for info.

There are a couple spots with exposure on this loop but overall it's only moderately difficult. You can message me on IG or FB for more info.

Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

Yeah it was 21 hours for me and totally worth it. Best trail I've ever done.

@@PNWEnduro Id love to know i'm headed out that way about 36hrs for me

Yes that was a tricky spot for sure. Overall this is tied with one other for the best ride I've ever been on. Thanks for your support!

Even more frightening in person 🤣 full concentration mode in this section

Look at map apps, Gaia, Trailforks etc. You can also use Google Earth to find trails. Also join local Facebook riding groups for the areas you want to ride.

Yep, it's pretty hard to beat what this trail has to offer.

I’m a Dunedin fella living right in the middle of these mountains here in Colorado. If you make over here I’ll show you around.

@@brianh8484 hey thanks for this - I am soooo tempted😀

@@davidtkiwixtrainer2045 go for it. Those high elevation trail are generally getting snow covered again by October so the window is usually only June-September or if it’s a heavy snow year then could be July but there’s a ton of lower elevation and desert riding also.

Risk/reward you gotta earn it!

@@PNWEnduro afraidie-cat of heights limitations .. 🤣🤣

I don’t share locations publicly, you can contact me on Instagram or Facebook.

What if you don’t have neither of those

Single track is usually the hardest to keep open. Some folks in the USFS that deal with travel management don't want to admit the value riders have for technical single track in awesome country. They would soon close them, rather than take grief from the pro wilderness crowd.

It takes privacy and tight lips. Areas of USFS management like the CB area are great and offer riders an abundance of terrain.They however are in the minority. Most USFS agencies are anti dirt bike and would rather close trails than manage them. White River National Forest for instance have a dismal record and cater to the whiney city dwellers who watch this stuff on RU-vid and bemoan the actual stewards of the great outdoors.. Be careful who you talk to. Getting "Involved" with your local FS in most cases will get your riding areas closed quicker than the alternative. Remember Government is typically the problem, hardly ever the solution.

As far as I know RU-vid has 2 codecs the crappy AVC1 and the better VP09. All my videos are already in VP09. I do record at 1080P so I have enough space both on my camera and also laptop once I'm editing the videos.

@@PNWEnduro Oh you're right, I see they're VP09 when I check the stats for nerds section. My bad. For some reason when I've uploaded videos in the past at 1080P it's just automatically done the AVC1 codec. But if I do 4K it always goes to VP09. I guess maybe I'm just noticing the lower resolution on my display as it's fairly large. Keep doing what you're doing! I hope this didn't come across in a negative way.

@Joel Blizzard all good man. 4K will force VP09 for all channels, but some get it automatically. Not sure exactly how YT decides who gets it but it must be based on views or regular uploading. There was a few other tricks to force VP09 but YT patched those.

YT seems to mess w/ things often - this vid (for me, even forcing 1080p/60) looks like AV1 even tho the stats say VP09 - lots of compression artifacts.

@WA Semi-Hard Enduro I dunno, it looks normal to me when I watch it back.

There are only a couple really difficult spots but one of them can be avoided and you can still do the loop. Thanks for not mentioning the location.

@@PNWEnduro I know you think you are somehow helping the sport by keeping all the riding spots secret. You aren't helping by assuming everyone else is going to ruin it.

I did a whole video explaining my reasons, go watch it I’m sick of saying it over and over. You have no idea how much pressure I get to not talk about locations. For all the flack I get for not stating the location I would get ten times that if did. I share the information privately all the time but most people would rather bitch about it than take a few minutes to contact me privately so they can’t want to know that badly.

@@PNWEnduro I have not seen your video which you outlined reasons for not disclosing locations, which I understand there are plenty. Nice to know that you may share if approached privately. Great content you put out!

@@beaugalbraith3891 thanks for understanding.

Instagram or Facebook is best.

Please read video description or pinned comment. You can contact me on social media for information.

@@PNWEnduro I watched ur video on why u don't answer location. Totally respect why u do what u do. 👍🏻 Ride on! We re in Utah riding this week!

Thanks, I appreciate your understanding. Have a great time in Utah and again, feel free to reach out to me on Instagram or Facebook for info.

Yes people travel from all over to ride some of my local trails, I know I'm spoiled with options. The big mountain rides are what I enjoy the most though.

My Sherco with a Smartcarb runs great at any elevation.

I've been waiting years to ride this trail Worth the drive!

See video description and pinned comment.

I live near sea level. I did have one night at elevation before this ride. It's strange, I don't feel it much until I hit a technical section and start breathing harder, then I notice it. Even walking around off the bike you can feel it. Some people have a harder time adapting to elevation.

I don't post locations publicly for several reasons. You can contact me on social media for info.

Nobody said it was Washington.

@@PNWEnduro touche!

If you read the comments you would have seen he doesn't post locations publicly.

Yes, just trying out different models from Astra Offroad.

Yes.

I get asked this question so many times I made a video explaining it, here you go ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XWvkW6FyUcg.html

I don't post locations publicly for several reasons.

I've stated in several other comments here that I don't disclose locations publicly.

@@PNWEnduro yes just watched your video on it, but you could mention the trail here and nobody would know😉

It's similar to disclosing your favorite fishing or hunting spot.

@@davidsalo8397 Thats called gatekeeping

We ride enduro bikes with a much longer fuel range, my tank holds almost 2/3 more fuel than yours. I will also pack a bottle of extra fuel strapped to the fender on these big mountain rides just in case.

@@PNWEnduro how many hours do you get from 4/5 gallons? But sick content enjoy watching thanks for replying 🤘

I don’t know about hours but I get close to 100km (60 miles) before hitting reserve. Tank is 10.9 litre or about 2.9 gallons. My mileage is greatly increased by running a Smartcarb.

No, don't think so.

This is very frustrating as the video looked good when I uploaded it and watched it back before publishing it. I don’t know what happened. Looks like I have no choice but to film in 4K going forward. Thanks for the feedback.

You have to adjust the quality manually. 1080P is as high as this one will go looks like. Pretty clear on my IPad

@@PNWEnduro Apparently if you render your 1080p footage at 4k, and upload that, views can choose a higher resolution, and the compression artifacts that hurt riding videos is much improved.

@@sproesser1 Yes, I did that with some other footage from this ride and it worked okay. Now I just film everything om 4K anyway.

It’s weird, I don’t really feel the elevation much unless I get to a really technical section but as soon as I get off the bike and walk around a bit I really start to notice.

Depends on your bike, jetting (if applicable) speed and riding style and if you do any of the side trails.

I don't post locations publicly for several reasons. If you want more of an explanation I made a video to explain why ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XWvkW6FyUcg.html

Sherco 300SE.

I get this question a lot so I made a video explaining my reasons. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XWvkW6FyUcg.html

2021 Sherco 300SE.

No

Not supposed to

This is a beautiful trail they don’t want it to get flooded with people

That is correct. Over two separate days of course but 21 hours total.

I kind of like those slide areas!
