Great video!! It's so nice out there. The sea slug was actually a sea cucumber. A very interesting animal.

5 thumbs up! Excellent video and content. Looks like a really fun group too. I more favor juv. WSB for that fish in question. Barring looks to regular, lower face looked shiny and pointy, and, to me, BSB look stockier. I so envy the Barracuda. Courtesy of the bait tank?

pinton drop off was the official name after settled officially in 1880. Then later nicknamed heart attack hill. Before 1880, The natives called it "Qasmetuwawkee". Great video.

Don't remember water temp, I think around 67, but it felt cold on the face getting in so maybe lower. Spotfin Croaker? Are you seeing them mixed in with the seabass? Because they all had the elongated body shape, I thought they were all WSB.

@bradsillasen1972 2 ай бұрын

@@OutdoorAdventuresForeverThanks. That's what they appear to be to me. Look for the distinct black spot at the base of the pectorals. Also, they seem to be hugging the bottom, a very croakerish thing to do, not that WSB (also croakers) won't do that. There was at least one which shows some faint vertical barring like a juv. WSB which is interesting. But you were there and not me so I'll defer ;-)

After riding a variety of 750/1100cc sport bikes while living in SoCA, my move to CO in 1994 completely changed my type of riding and brand of bike. KTM 350/500cc enduro bike were the perfect choice for technical off-road adventures, and my KTM 1090R is the perfect choice for fast pavement and easier off-road rides. CO offers the best off-road adventure trails imaginable. Thank you for sharing this video and proving my assertion! RTWpaul rode everywhere on a 2016 KTM 500cc 6 Days bike, so the Husky 501 was the best choice for this ride, unless you enjoy picking up heavy adventure bikes like the others were riding.

Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the movie. The truth is the majority of our miles would probably be more comfortable on an ADV bike since we mostly did two track and dirt roads and then a bit of pavement. Plus ADV bikes have a more comfortable seat!! 🤣 😕 My bike shined in certain spots where the agility and lightness gave me an edge. If we had more technical terrain the tables might’ve turned. I’d like to finish the COBDR in the northern section we didn’t get to. Maybe one day.

Moab looks beautiful. I was just in the area last week vacationing with family at Arches National Park. Love that area, and the trails look like a blast! If I lived out west I'd have never married ha. Would have been too busy on my bike and had no time chasing women lol. Subbing! I highly recommend the Continental Divide if you haven't ridden it. Amazing stretch of trail man. Ride safe!

I saw a fellow ride his bike off the edge once, accidentally. It's not something I like to play with. Fortunately for him, we were in a forest and the trees stopped him from rolling down the mountain. Even so, he rolled down about 200 feet. The bike was upside down about 60 feet down. Took all 6 of us to get him and the bike back up. I stay away from the edge.

Yes, these are all 2 way trails and accidents definitely occur. Be really careful like they suggest and avoid the place on a busy weekend. If you want to ride a directional trail system just go to Hollister Hills, and don't complain about the lack of one way trails at Ballinger. It is what it is.

@OutdoorAdventuresForever 7 ай бұрын

Ballinger is much smaller. You could ride everything it has to offer in one long day. Hungry Valley and adjacent areas, like Frazier Mtn., if all open, could be triple that. Ballinger has hard, stutter bumps on sections of its trails. Even though its really the same terrain, Ballinger just has a different feel, it's own character. Watch my movie on Hungry Valley. That with this one reveals what Hungry Valley ,etc., offers - with the exception of Snowy / Piru / Miller trails, which I have yet to ride. Then watch all 3 Ballinger movies and you'll have the details.

Would you say that Colorado no longer maintains these high pass roads. I saw a pass in the Sangre de Cristos that I used to ride when a teenager (53 years ago). A few years ago, I watched a video that someone did on it and it was in pitiful condition. I knew I wasn't going to muscle the 600 pound Ten loaded up with gear up that horrible path. It was no longer a road.

@OutdoorAdventuresForever 7 ай бұрын

I'm sure those high pass roads are maintained. At the very least forestry service needs them for fires, etc. We all made it through fine, the only impasse being a snow drift which we got around rather easily on established path.

I have been thinking in some of these Moab videos that the depth perception isn't true. I've been an off-roader both on bikes and trucks most of my life and cameras just don't do any justice to steepness. But being a rider, I can tell by the way the bike is traveling and your handling of it that the ground is steep. When you hit the tree in Part 3 of Moab, I felt the shock of hitting the tree, and the panic of going into he brush. I fell on a cactus once in Arizona (I think). This is before armor, but I was wearing a leather jacket.

@OutdoorAdventuresForever 7 ай бұрын

Yes, you’re correct. And I place that message occasionally in the movies… Sloped terrain is steeper in reality than it appears in video. I did that in Moab day 2 for example. Speed however is the opposite; movement in video appears faster than reality. Glad you had that leather jacket on. I’ve passed thousands of jumping chollas when riding, still always mindful of how much pain they could inflict.

I'm glued to the screen riding with you. In my 20's 50 years ago, all I had was a Honda 125 4-stroke trail bike. I was an ornery rider where failure was not an option. I loved taking my bike out into the west and finding trails to ride. I don't remember Moab being a place then, but perhaps it was. I had planned to come out there, but I think I bought the wrong bike. I like to ride to my destinations. While I still ride local dirt roads and a few narrow tracks, I think my serious dirt days are behind me. So, I'm enjoying this ride with you, and wishing I was there.

Turns out I should've gone for it! With my foot injury the next day, the surgery had to be postponed anyway. 🤦‍♂
