This is the worst thing that’s happened to our dirt jumps!! While traveling this summer the yard has been overrun with goatheads and spiky weeds making the backyard jumps unrideable. Phil Kmetz from Skills With Phil channel stopped by to visit and ride, we got to work in the yard and had some fun!

It always cracks me up when people first discover goatheads... When I moved to Idaho from Kentucky I was constantly getting flats with every tire I tried on my road bike and finally settled on running slow and heavy Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires with SmartGuard. Even with tubeless, I once ran over a vine on my XC bike and the rear tire looked like it was bleeding sealant from a porcupine attack!
@PorterMTB
@PorterMTB Год назад
Haha yeah these are insane! Growing up in Kentucky I don’t remember them either, but now I know! Super bummed to find them in the yard, but now I know at least so I can stay ahead of them!
@mrkthmn

For me it was the opposite experience, haha. I grew up knowing that you rode on the sidewalk or you got a "thorn." Period. It wasn't till I was an adult and got to ride in another state that didnt have goatheads that I discovered how awesome it was to ride off road without immediately getting a flat.

In Florida we call em Sandspurs, I think that's how you spell it lol. They are all over FL for the most part. Some places like central FL I seen less Sandspurs ( still had them in central ) but we also had stinging nettles. Idk which was worse, probably the stinging nettles. But I remember playing in a flooded street and jumping on a storm drain covered in Sandspurs and I about fell. My feet were bleeding and had to walk on the side of my feet back home to my parents to help pull them out.

Here in central and eastern Oregon we have goatheads all over. Many years ago my backyard and alley we're covered in them. I took care of the alley by spraying roundup every 2-3 weeks for 7 years. Now goatheads are completely gone. Stay after it in spring and summer and you'll get on top of it. Great video, feels like a normal weekend of hanging with friends

The easiest way is go to your local carpet supply shop and ask for any old carpet underlay foam from jobs where they have removed it to lay new stuff, most shops happily give it away. Then go home and roll it out and walk on it, carefully roll it up and wrap in plastic and dispose of. Otherwise wherever u can get cheap foam in a roll and do the same thing.

I used to get punctures a lot on my commute from these. Switched to running my favorite fat street tire (maxxis hook worms), maxxis dh tubes, and a tire liner. No more punctures. I can run through hundreds of goat heads, and just pick them all out later. None puncture through. I even pick out glass shards that manage to puncture through the tire but the liner stops them.

@HighlanderNorth1
@HighlanderNorth1 Год назад
💨 I've never dealt with these, but I'd think you could first spray the plants with Spectracide nonselective weed control to kill the entire plants early on. In the meantime, if you find some of their thorny spur things laying around, just break out a backpack blower and blow them 50 feet to the left or right, into the brush. From there, they'll get hung up on brushy weeds, making it unlikely for them to be blown back out of the brush into the trail again. Or blow them into a central spot, then rake or sweep them into a dustpan and into the trash. As long as you continue to use this area for biking, make sure to periodically go back out and spot spray the young weeds before they can produce new spurs.

Here in New Mexico, I swear our cars get flat tires from goatheads, not just bicycles.

The whole time I was thinking about using the leaf blower to blow them all away but that would just make them end up on the other trails

I painstakingly rid my 1/3 acre yard in Utah of goatgeads and thistle! YES, it can be done. It took 2.5 years of pulling weeds every weekend and picking up as many seeds as possible was essential. Finally, I was in the clear, able to ride and walk barefoot anywhere I pleased! ...and then we moved. 🤬 ...but now live right outside the Corner Canyon trail system and bike park. 😲 It's a fair trade.

Nice work moving to Corner Canyon, lucky! I have a feeling I'm going to be doing the same, I'll have to be vigilant in the spring pulling everything immediately, I'm sure it will take a couple years.

I kept getting flats so I threw those thorn busters in the tire, they still get stuck in the tire but no more flats from one unlucky goathead

All through Southern Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, NW Texas etc. those damn goat heads make it impossible to ride a bicycle. Just when you think your tires are protected, you'll run over a vine with 1 inch long thorns that grow out over the sidewalk. It's like all the plants and trees want to kill you.

since sunlight can't get under a tarp, I reckon you would put tarps over your most used tracks and nothing will grow
@PorterMTB

Yeah I'm, starting to think about tarping the whole riding surface!

where do you get your dirt to build jumps?
@PorterMTB

We found a local dirt yard and picked out sifted dirt that would work well, then had them bring it over in dumptrucks!

Those things are btutal. When I was a kid, I was playing in a tree with my cousin and I decided to hang from a branch and drop to the grass below. I had no shoes on and landed in a patch of those bastards. That was almost 40 years ago and I can still remember exactly how it felt.

At the start of the year you can round up all of the goat head plants before they have a chance to dry out and become sharp been on a tirade exterminating them things seems to be the only thing that works

🤔 What’re your guy’s thoughts on tire inserts? Extra piece of mind
@PorterMTB
@PorterMTB Год назад
I think they can be really good for trail riding, and might help with the punctures but otherwise aren't too beneficial for a DJ bike since we run 40-50 psi
