Such a great tune!

Staying alive - bee gees

Got any requests?

Internal monologue "Look further down the trail dumbass" "if you ain't crampin, you ain't tired"

I don’t like beating myself up like that. That’s cool if it works for you, but I’ve found that it makes things worse for me and puts me in a bad mood.

Glad I wasn’t the only one! My third attempt was a charm tho

This video was taken in Virginia

@@DanielGivens 😎

haha yes! its definitely a nod to @crosstrainingenduro who also uses it a lot. kevin did not seem happy about me using the grape lady for his crash tho.

That log really slowed them down

Saved by the log

no it was scary

thanks dude!

yes, if you get to the bottom of krebs where high top, pine ridge, swift run meet you can then get to pardee by turning right onto high top if you want to go down or continue straight on swift run to climb it. theres a good fence line trail thats at the end of krebs as well.

@@glennfalls623 nope, just visiting family, but I would like to do it again

@@Axlnut0341 this is part of the dual sport trail system (purple blazed trails) over by Sand Mountain. It’s a shared use trail so there are sometimes hikers or horseback riders.

Heck yeah! gonna have to do that next time

You ain’t kidding! Definitely gotta be comfortable with rock riding to really enjoy everything at Taskers.

Those puddles are no joke! Lesson learned.

Thanks! I’m still thinking about that bunny burger 🤤

Thanks! So, I am no expert, but I will try to answer as best I can. Short answer, you probably wouldn't be able to easily register in PA. I am actually based out of Maryland, but familiar enough with PA to know that they have what's referred to as an "enhanced inspection" process for this type of situation that involves adding all the required components (mirrors, horn, blinkers, lights, etc...) and getting a new title issued once the vehicle passes the enhanced inspection. I am not sure if KY has anything similar to the process that PA has available, but that is the surefire method since PennDOT has recently become stricter and started revoking titles on bikes that are not street legal from the factory, which they are able to target based on VIN numbers. If there isn't anything like that in KY, then I would advise looking into Dirt Legal's services. I haven't used them before myself, so I am not totally sure how it works, but I ride with a few folks that went that route and they seem satisfied. Doing so should be fine for you as long as KY and your insurance provider do not have issues with out-of-state registration. Again I am no expert, but hope this helps. Good luck!

Guys in my group all run mousse or tubliss and still had issues, so I think it was more of a lack in talent… I’ll look into those events. Haven’t ridden Ohio yet!

Thanks for the comment and subscribing! 495 is no joke and it was apparently a little greasy that day, so I am eager to try it again earlier in the day and in drier cobditions. Either way, anybody that gives it a shot is a badass in my book, so props to you and your crew. Green mountain is also punishing in its own way, but it always feels good to complete it. Nothing good comes easy I guess.

Where is that trail it’s not on my map unless I’m completely blind

495 starts here: 38.76443, -78.52765

Bring it on! Hahaha! Seriously though, thanks for all your hard work. In general, it could be useful if there were trail descriptions for the alternates provided with the rest of the docs, thinking maybe had more riders been somewhat aware of what was ahead in that section it might've kept some of the traffic down and more clean runs up it could've happened. If there was some extra detail about it in the roll chart then I must have missed it. Most of the other regional DS events give a little run down of the options and sometimes have a difficulty rating system, just a thought.

First time at this event. Been doing enduros, dual sports, hare scrambles for years. I have never seen the "detours" are actually the hard part of the course? Wouldn't the main course be the hard part and then there are "detours" around the hard parts? Not vice versa? I missed all the sections thinking "No, I don't want to detour around anything. I want to stay on the main course"? Super weird...

@@inline6josh Aw man, that’s too bad. Just about every dual sport event I have been to has had a main course with options/alternates along the main course that vary in challenge. At least that’s how they do it in PA at RORR Dual Sport, Michaux Dual Sport, and Seven Mountains Dual Sport, so if you end up doing any of those be sure to hit the “detours” for the good stuff.

You probably mapped it out on a trials bike looser.

I’ve been riding DD for 13 years and I remember the event had a LOT more trails in the past. Check out my 2015 videos. This year on Sat had way too much road. I hope DD can find more trails next year.

I agree that Sunday seems to stand out. Those motocamp trails are so sweet. This is only my 2nd time attending so I cant really speak to people getting pulled over, but will say that in my crew's case it could've been avoided entirely with few nuts and bolts and a little prep work.

Because that’s what they call the trail system www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateForests/FindAForest/BaldEagle/Pages/ATVRiding.aspx

You have to have a plated bike to ride these trails. Aka- dual sport bike.

Understood. I ride Enduro so the title threw me off.

🦅

Thanks Mark! I could smell my clutch a couple times in there haha

thanks! spent over an hour cleaning the bike, but it was worth it, right?

Haha same it was 100% worth it tho sick trails

dude, you gotta make it out to one of these! the fall trail ride is september 28th. put it on your calendar. i'll be there.

It's a good one. There are a few that i am aware of, but the one that's in the beginning of the video is the longest and steepest probably.

Sure, it is mostly rocky, but so are a lot of the areas we are still allowed to ride, especially those that are shared with ATVs. Just gotta learn to love it and keep the momentum up. Mousses and clicker adjustments definitely help, too. The jeep trails as well as a few of the ATV trails at Taskers have sections that aren't extremely rocky, but it's kinda hard to beat $30 a year for a pass. I recommend it and intend on spending a lot more time there this year myself.

That’s great! I’m in Leesburg and looking for a closer place to ride. Maybe we can meet up for a ride and you can show us the trials!

@@paulgeorgelas383 I see you ride ebay. I’ll post something in the discord next time there are plans to go to Taskers.

Sounds good! EBay is good but I’d like to do something more technical. Riding a 2024 TX300

@@paulgeorgelas383 heck yeah! one of my favorite technical spots is opening for the season at the end of this month. its free and you dont need a plate. its called shade mountain and it is in bald eagle state forest, so it might be a little far for you, but its worth checking out. There's also a lot of rock gardens and stuff at famous reading outdoors, also in PA and kinda far.
