This Single Track Was BRUTAL.. | Sidewinder Trail Colorado 

I last rode this trail about 5 years ago at age 62. I've since sold my '08 KTM 300 and have hung up my single track boots. When the trail was first opened, it was very difficult (still is, I would imagine) as it was a shovel wide and not bedded in yet. In spots it was hard to discern the trail location. I rode this many times by myself, and I don't recommend that, and usually in the north-to-south direction you did, but never rode it in the summer, always spring and fall. At 20 miles long and unrelenting, I never had the energy to ride it both ways in one day. Great video.

I’ve always ridden it on 500cc KTM EXCs. More of a handful, especially because it stalls out so easy. Thanks for the vid.

Keep telling yourself you are having fun even tho you have no more air to breath. Freaking awesome!! :)

So nice to see a trail that is not groomed and shaped to perfection, this is proper!

I bet you are so glad you went to Colorado. One great ride after another.

Epic ride. Cant believe you did sidewinder trail right after the river trail. I think sidewinder is my new favorite trail although ive never been on it. Maybe this spring when its not so hot.

I currently live in Gunnison, and watching all your videos and the videos at Taylor really make me want a bike

Just got my new bike and aspire to get to your level. Crazy trails and rock climbs- congrats and appreciate the video share!

20 minutes from the house. A great trail

Well, I won’t complain any more about the measly rocks on my OHV trails! I had some body English going here in my recliner helping you over some of that stuff. 😀

Nice video! I live in Montrose, and we ride the Sidewinder (my son worked on the trail crew that developed it) on mountain bikes - it's a real challenging set of trails, and is a lot of fun. It's interesting to see it from a motorized perspective. And it can really get baking out there ...

It gets better on the Northern section. Tons of good stuff out there!

Gods country. I like the woods of Colorado but that looks fun.

really really cool - btw still recovering from 3rd tier shoulder separation - all I remember riding my 2020 crf 250 hitting some soft high dirt/sand and taking a spill - still dont know what happened sunk in and stopped but your video was killer - rookie rider but love it

Those rocks in sidewinder/Montrose will bake you in the summer. Best time is late OCT or Nov (or springish). Fun trail though and great job on it! Good fun and a cool area to ride. Sidewinder is super long...best to do it as a morning thing then just do easy stuff in the afternoon. on COTREX it says sindewinder is about 33 miles long. (actually that is Eagle Valley and Sidewinder combined).

I've only run the south end from Peach Valley about half way up before we bail out back down the road. Need to do the whole trail before I get too old. Was just up there mid november and weather and trails were perfect. Nice vid!!!

All I can say is WOW.

Looks like IRC gummy tire heaven!

Looks like fun!

Nice ass ride! 👍👍 😲

Awesome video. Looks like a great trail. I see you said 20 miles. About how long did it take you? Thanks for sharing!!

Awesome, I wanna go to Colorado and ride in these trails! We live in Mo, you ever head of Chadwick?

Best to trail riding vid ever I’m new to the channel but can already tell you are a great person

awesome trail

Thanks now I'm tired. Whoa.

Crazy how far you've came since the 250L. Not sure if you still have it or not but that would be killer to see someone really taking it in some gnarly stuff. Keep grinding. 💯

that sun was brutal.....My skin was melting :)

That trail looks awesome!

Really cool to see! Nice channel friend 😻💕💕

If you ever try a 200 two stroke that would be a good vid.

No way. 1:34 min. in and I had two pucker moments just watching!

Man I've been missing ur videos and streams and I've been watching for awhile can't wait till Sunday to try to get to the stream

Awesome video!

You need to hit restocks night horse out there if you want truly brutal!

Wicked trails! Some nice head splitters in there. One suggestion, if you devise a go pro mount off the front fork, it will steady all the footage when you get into the tight bumpy stuff. Your head wobble translates to stomach turning footage haha. Also the POV off the front wheel actually shows the perspective of how technical the terrain is. Just to mix up the footage 👌

It 25 degrees and I got done blowing snow so this is a treat

Hi Mr deficit I was wondering i know you have a brozz 250 I was wondering if it would be a good first bike as I've never been on a motorcycle

I remember I used to ride you for sitting and now look🤷🏻‍♂️

I honestly think you should get a crf300 rally

95 degrees on Sidewinder😂

You local to Colorado by any chance? Just discovered your channel today and realized I'm just a few hops and skips away from here down highway 50 in Fremont County, just got my bike running too so im looking for a few riding buds at some point.

What was the elevation like....were you slanted, going up hill? Hard to tell. I saw Slo slide to the right once, but he looked to be on level ground.

0:49 Some foreshadowing.

Drink more water, I wear a Camelback Mule. Works great and is comfortable for all day rides. Great footage btw, I love Colorado. Have you ridden North Delta OHV or the Grand Mesa?

What camera are you filming this on

Did the guy in front of you in the first part of the video ever have his feet on the pegs ?

"I have bad knees". Oh the horrible foreshadowing.

Can you imagine if you tried them trails when you had the 450L you would have a lot of editing to do because you would be none stop swearing

No offense but you were riding sitting down until this last season. If you’re riding standing up and feel more comfortable that way now then good on ya, that’s awesome

Are kx good?

Oh yes destroying the natural environment selfishly for about 70 yrs now? But hey its fun.

2 stroke suck
