Almost dumped it on that same switchback and then bailed out on the end of Hell’s revenge. Your video is motivating me to do the rest of it!

So fun, I did it twice and this was the second time. Hopefully, this video will give others a preview of the trail. It's very doable. I'm somewhat new to a dirt bike, coming from a mountain bike, so you can see it's not Five Miles of Hell.

Happy to report that I went back yesterday and finished the whole thing. Thanks again for the preview! There was some oil spilled just below that tricky switchback. Clearly it’s giving more people some problems. Not as bad when you know it’s coming though

Super fun trail though, just need to make sure you don't lose the white dots. Seemed like you could easily ride off something you really didn't want to.

Realy good video! I hope you like your 500 as much as I like mine. If you would put a Rekluse in that thing, it just becomes a mountain goat! Really makes that thing fun in the tech stuf.

Biffed it in the same spot once a long time ago. Actually a few feet earlier, just as you make the super right right hand turn (the one you overshot). Come to find out, the tires have a finite level of traction when on a side hill, no matter how grippy they seem. 😂 I slid and fell right in front of some beautiful ladies on mountain bikes. Of course. 😮
@flatspotproductions Жыл бұрын
I got just a little over confident with the traction. Still, one of the funnest trails to ride.

@@flatspotproductions some years ago I tried out my brand new GoPro camera on a solo Slickrock Trail ride when a camshaft bearing on my old KTM520 let go. I had it on the video as the noise engine lasted long enough to get me back to the parking lot. Fun memories. I may just have to take a day off and ride it this coming Tuesday - calling for 57 degrees. 😉

I had trouble at the same place. Didn't lay it down but should have. Was glad to get out of there alive. It was nice to relive the adventure but don't think I would do that one again. Maybe over my skill level. I was on a 500exc. Thanks for the video.
@flatspotproductions Жыл бұрын
I really loved riding this trail. The traction was amazing and the bike had no issues. It really helped gain more confidence. This was the second day I rode this, the first day is the other video and I did better, but I think that is because I had no idea what I was getting myself into and I was bit more careful.

That’s a tough spot. I’ve rode this trail 6-7 times and have dumped my bike there at least twice.

Hands down the best motorcycle video on the Slickrock Trail! Shows exactly what it is like!!! Especially that famous steep switchback. Going up it I couldn't make the turn as someone tipped over in front of me so I had to just bomb straight up to the top without making the turn. lol. Great video man! thanks again!

@flatspotproductions2 жыл бұрын
There were a lot of riders, but I think Hollister is so big that you only see them at the parking lots which was full and at spots like the Windmill where everyone takes a break. But on the trails I really didn't see anyone. I was expecting all sorts of 2 strokes passing me on the trails, that's why I have the mirror on, but as you can see in the vid, no one.

@flatspotproductions3 жыл бұрын
Thanks, the GoPro stabilization is really good. Smooths everything out, perhaps a bit too much. Hollister Hills is really a great place to ride. Hike and Bike has a lot more of the trails on his channel. They really help to let you know what you are getting yourself into on some of the single track.
