Dirt Biking In The TN Hills with my boys! Chaos! 

My step dad was a square body driving jack of all trades as well. This entire episode reminded me of all the days like this we had. He passed when I was 13. I can still see his face in detail covered in mud laughing at me as I floated a Honda 200 across a pond at 9 years old (i think)... I'm 48 years old this year..... that's the kind of memories you are making. The forever kind. Thanks for sharing this.

I lost my dad when I was 19. Riding was something we enjoyed together but didn't get to do a lot of. I'm sitting at my desk at work and I was finished an hour ago. I couldn't stop watching. To you, it's probably just spending time with your boys. To some of us, it was a video full of teary eyed smiling. The high 5 at the top of the hill got me. You absolutely made their week. Seriously, thank you for sharing that experience. You're an awesome guy and an amazing father.

We need more fathers like you. Boy falls (or girl) and you don't rush over to help and brush off the dirt. Just the encouragement & instruction so they can accomplish something themselves. Great parenting!

I think the most impressive part of the whole deal is that Bailey fought through all of that muck in a pit bike. He's a trooper.

This was an absolute joy to watch!! You reminded me of how my husband took our 3 little humans(2 boys and 1 girl) out on dirt bikes. Memories they will never forget our lose. Their dad passed away July 26 2019. Thank you so much!! They sat and watched this with and just smiled.

Need more Dads like this.

It doesn't matter if Derek started a cooking show or selling antiques I would watch every bit if it!!!

Such a great dad.. my dad taught me so much and this reminds me of him. He died in 2006 at 95. Your boys will look back and remember all these great times.

Those 44 minutes put a smile on my face and a tear in my eyes too. My dad (passed in 2015 and miss him terribly) hated dirt bikes but gave in to me when I was 14 so that I could buy my first one with my grass cutting money. 1974 Suzuki TS100 for $350 in 1980. I loved riding and kept dirt bikes for almost 40 years (mostly Honda CR250's). When my sons became old enough, we started to ride together and your videos took me back to a cherished time. They are now 27 and 26, have their careers started, girlfriends, truck payments, etc. You're a great dad and it's insanely important to take some time away do this with your sons. Thanks for sharing your day with us just to keep those memories alive.

A guy can’t express enough how much he loved watching this! Reminds me of my dad and myself back when. You’re a great dad to your little humans!

A fella can really enjoy a video of Dad and son's bonding going out and riding the dirt bikes in the mud! Bailey's bike was ill prepared for this ride but hey having fun together!

Started my son and daughter on dirt bikes. We have some old lead mines from decades ago, which were converted into riding parks. Over 300 acres of sand and woods to ride through. We realized we needed quads to stay up and stable. So we switched to quads specifically Yamaha blasters which I found on craigslist all needing a little bit of work so as we were riding, we realized they had friends who they wanted to invite to come with us so we had to buy two more For their friends to ride. They have now given us six grandkids so I have been buying used quads and repairing them so we can all ride on my property. They are so simple to work on and fix some of the smaller ones have an engine like your son’s Chinese SSR. Have been finding them on marketplace for a couple hundred bucks each for the Chinese quads and paid 800 for used warrior and a little more for a breeze. Look into used blasters for the boys.

Thanks Bailey&Bentley for lettin us go along for the trip. Slimy mud,wet leaf covered rocks, mud holes,and y’all came back with no broken bones or teeth!!!!!!! Good job boys!

I'd like to see the bike on vice grip garage. Never bad to mix things up from time to time.

Your a good dad, Derrick. Your boys will always remember this forever. Dont stop until you cant any longer.

I don't have time for cars these days. My 3 boys still wonder about my old race car that none of them have ever seen start and run. But, we're riding dirt bikes. Such a great way to spend time with your kids when you find time. Building memories.

I cannot express how it warms my heart seeing a father and his sons creating memories that will be talked about and remembered for years to come between them.

Lost my dad when i was 10" Your kids will always remember these fun times with you......! Keep on Rippin"

2 stroke FOREVER!! SNOWMOBILES INCLIDED!!!

One of the best ways to spend time with the little humans.

Derick you truly are an idol. From the time you spend turning wrenches with your boys in the garage to moments like this. It’s the little moments like this mean so much to your boys as they get older. Really tugging on a ol’ boys heart strings. Keep it up buddy

The adventure has just begun!!!! LOL!!!! It’s your whole video library my friend! Love it all!

Bentley is DEFINITELY a chip off the ole block!! "3 or 2" is an absolute Derekism!!

Gotta take some time with them boys on the other fun things too! Thanks Derek, Jess, & Boys for the good times watchin!

Derek, I have to say that this video really pulled on my heartstrings as you said. I lost my father when I was about Bailey‘s age and missed out on a lot of opportunities such as this with him. Seeing you spend quality time with your sons is awesome. I am married now and trying to start a family of my own and hope to enjoy moments just like this. Been watching your channel for a few years now and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. You and your family are an inspiration and it’s awesome to see where you guys are now. Keep up the great work!

On May 3rd 2002 my step father called me out of the house to give me a present. On the flat bed of his truck (a beautiful green bumpside camper special) was a frame accompanied by box's and boxs of parts. Having dropped his dt400 and walking home one to many times I knew this was to be my bike. I spent that spring building and learning and by summer I had my very own freedom machine. Living in rural idaho that dt175 was the greatest gift I have ever received. Very much like your experience I too would ride into the mountains until I'd get to half tank then turn towards home. No one knew where I was and I had no cell phone. I would be miles up a single track in national forests without a care in the world. On that 175 I explored, I fished, I packed out my first deer, I met my first love and had my first heartbreak. I grew as a person. A couple thousand miles and three rebuilds later i sold her to fund a newer fancier motor scooter, a choice i will forever regret. It wasn't much later when my step dad passed and my world fell apart. Through a decade of on again off again homelessness and continuous loss i would often escape to those memories of blue smoke and single track, of wrenching with my step dad. Now having survived and flourished I have a home with my name on it, a beautiful wife and two amazing young boys. And one day soon I will call my oldest boy from the house and show him a plie of parts all his own on back of our green bumb side ford.

Father of the year! I love it. I raised 2 sons who are now adults and I miss those great times when they were young.

Maybe the guys from bikes and beards can help you get that old harley running

Guy has to play as hard as he works.

Derek you're one hell of a MAN SIR!!! I mean that with all due respect and out of appreciation, you in so many ways remind me of my own father who died about a year-and-a-half ago due to what they called covid/ pneumonia, I sure do miss him and not a day goes by that I don't think about him, however these videos especially this one with the dirt bikes reminded me of growing up on dirt bikes as well and my dad driving a 79 Chevrolet square body pickup truck and that is what we used to haul our dirt bikes ,3 and 4-wheelers around with , sometimes pulling trailer, but if your boys are anything like me and my brother those boys of yours will love you no matter what until the day they died because you are showing them what love is and what it's like to have it and to be TRULY loved and also showing them that they have to be able to take care of theirselves one day and you are teaching them how to do so alongside of having fun and enjoying time with them as well, however my father had to work so much driving truck when I was younger he wasn't around back then a whole whole lot but he definitely made up for it over the years regardless, and I also understand as well as comprehend why he worked and why he worked so hard, and that reason was to keep a roof over our heads and food on our tables or in our bellies, it's very sad to know he passed so early being that he was only 59 years old and did not get to enjoy even one hour of his retirement even, and that also I hurt my mother in ways financially , sadly my father was a straight edge person that did not drink but maybe occasionally or rarely as well as no drugs whatsoever and he quit smoking about 13 years before he died, he still worked pretty hard and workout many times when not working or doing something else to stay busy he was a very active man and would do just about anything for anyone who would ask or who needed it... it's very sad to have had to deal with it also soon and my own health is declining very fast but seeing these types of videos from you really has been heartwarming to say the least, I hope the best for you and your family Derek stay safe!!! PS : sorry for being about 2 months late on watching this however it popped up on my TV and so I had to pick up the phone and leave this comment, noticing the video was about two months old and I realized I should have watched it by now...

Memories the boys will never forget….nor you ! Great times with “da” boys !

"Gotta wait till it's 300 degrees and comes out scalding hot" "sounds smart" lmao he's definitely your son. Also need to see more of that harley

My entire life I was set on not having any kids but boy does Derek make a guy rethink that.... So much respect and admiration for what he does and how he does all of it!

Thanks Derek,love how willing you are, as a dad,to take the time for man time with the boys, they will never forget that you took this time with them.

Bringing fond memories of dad in the garage. We lost him this year. Thanks for the show. Really needed and loved it.

Loved this video, Derek! Nothing better than seeing a father spending time with his kids,and being a role model for his sons of how to be a good dad,you are to commended for taking time out of your busy schedule to fill that responsibility .This is a rare thing in our self-driven society, and I am glad to see an exception to the norm.

It looks like that grin and smile will never wash off Derek. 😊😊😊

Nothing better than playing with the boyz. Making want to head back north

Great video. Thanks for taking us along. I’m 53 and my favorite memories are the times spent with my dad.

I kept turning my head looking over my shoulder for Bailey and Bentley like I was on the trail with yall. Great job guys. Kinda felt bad for Bailey though, he definitely needed a dirt bike on that trail.

Bentley is his fav. The most like him as a kid. What a wonderful group of guys. Helluva family and dad

Awesome!! “Ya bud! Your front ends falling off” “neat” 😂

That looked like a whole lotta fun. I wish my dad had done things like this when I was young. Those boys are having the time of their lives.

The laughter at unloading ”oh we are gonna get dirty today”! Epic!

Looks like another xr100 is in order so both boys can really attack those trails. Love the world needs more dads like you

We’re all reminiscing of our own childhood while watching this video Derek. In this crazy world, it’s wonderful to see there are still families like yours living the dream. Your boys don’t know it yet, but they will look back at this day as a great memory they will cherish forever. You’re doing awesome things Derek. I sure do admire you. Thanks for taking me back in time and remembering how my Dad did his best to be a good father. ❤️

Love this…brings me to tears! You are so very blessed, and so are your sons. Many of us could only dream of our fathers spending quality time with us. This just warms my heart! Thank you for including us all in the adventures with your family. You’re a dream dad! So proud of you! These boys will never forget these memories!

Bentleys realization when he realized that’s why his front end wobbles 😂 reminds me of my younger self.

Wow. Money cant buy an experience like that. Your boys are living the dream, for sure.

FUN TIMES! Thank you!!! I alway's enjoy whatever you show us.. Family adventures on the dirt bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After Bailey’s day of practice with that pit bike in the mud, he’ll do great with a dirt bike he’s comfortable with. Bentley sure did good also on day 2 with a clutch, very impressive. His enthusiasm and sense of humor would have to make a feller proud.

My kids are in their 30's now, but this sure brings back memories of them learning to ride. I'm choking up with pride for you boys. Good job! Have fun. Be safe!

What a great dad, nice job boys

Kawasaki KDX 200 was my happy place. Glad to see you keep the 2 Stroke love going

This episode made a guy shed a tear or two as this is how I was raised on bikes and wheelers. Your raising those kiddos as good as any good ole boy could imagine. Love to see it. Hopefully they follow in their fathers footsteps!

When I was younger, I had mini bikes and go carts. When I became a teenager the only transportation I had was a motorcycle when I turned 16 years old I got a brand new 1976 Suzuki TS 125. That was my transportation to work and school. Yes, it was an Enduro. Then years later, when I had two sons, I had to buy them some dirt bikes, I didn’t want them to miss out on all the fun I had. They still thank me today. One of them has a Triump 955. I have a Yamaha VStar 1100.

I was a 250 Bultaco guy in 1970. Screamin 2 stroke.

Love to see the family grow. Those tiny humans each of us have are what it’s all about. No doubt they will remember this forever

You're a good Dad!!! Quantity is fine but Quality is better. You've got it covered!!!

Shenanigans? Perfect.

There's a guy in Mississippi who loved to ride, race and wreck a Yamaha IT200 two-stroke . . . loved the 6 speed transmission and the power-band surprise . . . It is refreshing to this guy to see a guy spend time on making memories with some little fellers . . . . When I was self-employed in the early 80's, before cell phones, we turned on the answering machine in the studio and closed most Tuesday mornings . . . my wife and I along with an employee and his wife went riding for hours. It was a blast. My wife rode a Yamaha BW200 . . .

Derek, I love watching you be an amazing Father to your little humans. You just made more amazing memories for you and the boys and thanks so much for you, Jessica and the kids in what you do and for sharing with us 😊 ❤️

Well, I’ll be dipped! Awesome! What a great way to raise the kids, man! That’s awesome!! Right on, Derek!

Slicker’n a Hot Snickers! Looks like a fun time. The boys will tell stories of this day to your great great grandkids.

Even though the bike broke down the memories the three of you made today will last forever. Your a good father.

Best vid yet Derek. Those boys are having THE best life, ever.

Well I'll be dipped! This brings back so many memories. My little brother and I grew up on these. We had little 50s Yamaha and Hondas, then Suzuki 100, YZ 80 while my alcoholic,mechanic crazy dad rode a Husqvarna 250. Boy did we have some times and lots of scars to prove it. After that it was 4x4 square bodies we built from junk. But we sure tore up the sandunes out in west TX!!🎉 I love what you're doing with your boys, it got me motivated to revive my 79 for my nephew. Unfortunately my brother passed away a couple years ago. Anywho I'm rambling, keep up the good work Derek!

Nothing better than a 2stroke bud. Had a DT125 and then had a 92 KX250. Both great bikes but the KX250 was my favorite and I miss it. I would love to find another one. Like you I gave it up and went to street bikes. Been riding Harleys for many years. You are a good dad doing things with your boys. They will never forget.

Those boys will always remember these times. I'm glad to see you making time for the family. I wish my dad had done these kinds of things with me. A fella's gotta say though, get Bailey a real bike for Pete's sake! He struggled the most with that thing. LOL

Dirt bike riding with the family always builds memories they’ll never forget. My kids have been riding since they were 4 they’re now teenagers and still love riding. I think they’ll do it the rest of their lives.❤

The sound and the smell of a two-stroke you can never beat that that's straight mechanical and operational things happening

"too muddy for bikes" is a phrase that is best unspoken.

The little guys aren't so little anymore. Growing like crazy!

Derek, you are a guys guy. This is the "good stuff" right here. My dad taught me everything I know about wrenching. With that, I'm making a pretty decent side gig out of it and will make it full time when I retire from my real job in 5 years. I still have fond memories of us doing this through the everglades when I was a kid. I can't remember wheat i had for lunch yesterday, but remember riding wheelers when I was 6. Keep up the good work Derek. These boys are only young once.

You sir are one hell of a cool dad!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Classic "Dad braaaaap" at 28:08! Still giggling over that one! I'll bet they can't wait to teach their sons that move some day!

Great Dad & Great boys having fun together- NOTHING BETTER TO WATCH THAN THIS - WELL DONE

"Did the right thing and made them both run"... my man I needed that today!!! I love dirt biking with my girls and love making stuff run since I was also knee-high to a grasshopper! I haven't really commented before, but I've fallen in love with your content over the last few months!!! Keep it up, you are an excellent mechanic, comedian and probably the best family man out there...so refreshing!!!

Fun to watch. Had a 74 Honda SL100 4 stroke. What a blast. Blew a fuse about ten miles back in Wherehouser roads and figured out I could wrap the aluminum from a piece of gum around the fuse to get me home. Good thing there wasn't a short. I learned about them later. The fuse never blew again. I don't know. I'm 60 now so that was a minute ago. Awesome video Derek, Thank You!

Brings a tear to my eye watching this one. I have fond memories of riding with my dad through the trails. I now ride with my son and cherish the time we spend together.

Bailey is a trooper for hitting those trails on a pitty. Well done boys!

When I was 10 years old my dad got me a Honda 110 three wheeler. And I loved it. Then I got a Yamaha 125 when I was 14. And it was a blast. Then I got a Honda CR 250 and it was the most amazing ride ever. It takes me back. I love your Content! 2 stroke life!

Just bought my boy Bryce a 2004 KX65 in October for his tenth birthday. First full clutch ride and he is currently ripping up the lawn! Here in Maine you have to have a 12 hour rider safety course to ride off your own property, gonna get him signed up so in the spring we can head out for the trails! Thank you for sharing this!!

I was raised on dirt bikes as well. When my son turned 8, I got him a cr80 and I bought a used CR 500 for myself. He out grew the 80 and wanted a 125. I got a deal on a CR 250 so he went straight to that. You're a great dad. If more fathers did things like this there wouldn't be as many kids on drugs.

Grew up on 2-strokes. Evertime I smell the 2-smoke exhaust, it takes me back to my happy place.

My first bike when I was 10 was a BRAND NEW Honda Elsinore MR 50. Took the governor off, and that was my daily transportation, and fun. Country life in Longbranch Washington in 1981. Yer' doing your boys right! Love this.

Going thru the comments, it’s amazing how similar our upbringings were! I’m a 2-stroke feller for sure! Had a QR50 to start with, then a PW80 and ended up with a DT50. After that it was time to grow up with work and responsibilities. Now I should be able to blame my 40 year-crisis and get me a bike again! ☺️

What an AWESOME adventure for you & the boys!!! Way to go!!! 🧰🗜🇺🇲

"Oh! That's why it's doing death wobble!" 😂

That double edged sword of our kids doing stuff that requires a lot of discipline and maturity making us chest busting proud but at the same time we’re asking how is it possible that their even tall enough to do what their doing. The ups and downs of being the old man. Much more ups luckily. Love y’all !

Please do more Harley videos!!! Love all the shows and really enjoy when you and the boys do things together.

This video absolutely put a huge smile on my face. It brought back so many fond memories of riding dirt bikes with my family. I got my 1980 Honda Z50 when I was 6 and then jumped up to a 1981 Honda XR200 when I was older. I remember my dad showing me how to work on my bike (and later my car) also riding ahead to check out trails just like you did for your kids. Derick, you are one fine human being and a great father! Thank you for sharing this special moment with the world!

BEST MEMORIES EVER!! Maybe come to California someday, we can ride desert!

Nothing better than to see a dad spending time with two terrific sons. Enjoy Derek they grow up quick 😊🇺🇸

This is now one of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along with you guys because let's face it the cameras can not only be a pain in the butt at times.

Dirt bike family fun!!

first time comment. you are a great dad for your boys. been a subscriber for a while, enjoy 99 percent of your channel. keep up the good work! and thank you derek.'

Yes, do the Harley! I don't care which channel. It was great watching you work with the boys.

This is awesome! I’m a feller who’s considerably older than you Derek, but I too spent my youth on dirt bikes and this is a fantastic way to have some family time! Stay safe a God bless you all! 👍👍

2-wheel chaos, THE best !
