MOAB to OURAY DUAL SPORT ADV: 2015 Emig Ride Day 2! o

On the first day of official adventure riding, we set off from Moab, Utah to Ouray, Colorado on an amazing journey that took us nearly 200 miles and 10,000 feet! We had KLRs, KTM 690s, an 1190, an XR 650, a WR250, and my DRZ 400. See how they all fared on this amazing ride!

[@ladyeclectic]

Lol I love how everyone else was hugging that rock face, keeping away from the cliff, except that little blue Yamaha following you. :D Also, LMAO on the "Show me the sexy body" line!

[@eveRide]

+ladyeclectic Yeah that's Justin from Rocky Mountain, he's a legend!!

[@richmoto1]

To ride places like that with J Emig nonetheless...pure heaven!

[@BikesDrones]

Epic cinematic adventure. Knobbies on tarmac at speed certainly keeps your attention. Living the dream.

[@osimnod]

Great scenery, editing, narration and music choices. Those panoramic shots are stunning. Did anyone else lean left while watching them skirt along with the shear drop off? Yikes, keep your cool on that scree! Thanks, Tyler, and looking forward to more.

[@eveRide]

+osimnod Haha it's funny because I get more nervous watching myself ride that stuff than I am when I actually ride it. :)

[@MrRojoneck]

Love this series Brother Theobald! This is your calling in life. I wish this video was 8 hours longer. I don't want it to end.

[@wilslt]

Finished a ride today that was AWESOME! Rode out to Fort Pearce via the unpaved Warner Valley Rd. Located 12 miles south of St. George, Utah. Also past the Warner Valley dinosaur track site. Will post some pics and hopefully a video when I get back to Tennessee. Pictures can't capture the beauty of the landscape. You need to see it in person to appreciate it. You are fortunate to live so close to these trails!

[@eveRide]

+Boro Biker That's a road that I get to ride on often! Lucky indeed :)

[@minitstop]

I feel both so full and empty inside after watching this video. Toroweap was my first and only taste of the long adventure and that one was one of my favorite ones. I want to see and ride amazing places like these. It is all I want to do in life. I don't care where it is, I'm taking off for at least two weeks next spring to go ride. This was a show. Your videos are no longer videos. They are shows. The next step would be a movie and I am going to weasel my ass in that as hard as possible! haha!

[@eveRide]

+minitstop You wanna be in my mooooovieeeeeee! Dude you'll definitely be in my movie!! All the DSMV guys are SOME DAY going to do something amazing and huge. That is my goal, I envision it daily, and it's going to happen.

[@sidheart19]

Oh wow!!! The view was simply breathtaking !!!! Lucky you man!!!

[@davidstephens3884]

I'm riding this in a few weeks and coming from a guy who's primarily been an asphalt rider for years, this will be quite the challenge! The stressful music played during the sheer drop offs was a real butt tightner ha ha. Thanks for the creation and sharing of your video.

[@alltheworldisyours]

Dang, you really do live close to some of the most beautiful scenic places in N America. Awesome!!

[@eveRide]

+theworldisyours I hope you get out this way and check some of this stuff out sometime... it really is beautiful country!

[@alltheworldisyours]

Yeah I do too! That's why I was more than happy to help in voting to keep your local fun spot open. The outdoors is so awesome!!

[@vidaenmoto]

Wow! desert roads, water crossing, cliffs, friends, great experience!

[@wilslt]

What a ride! Narrow cliff riding was a bit unnerving! The scenery was awe-inspiring! Video editing was excellent! Only thing missing was me....yeeeehaw!

[@eveRide]

+Boro Biker Next time, eh? I'll have to post up the route to Facebook or something.

[@chrisroscillo411]

whenever I see one of your new videos, and even when. I have not been on my bike for a couple of weeks, I find my self starting up the xr650L within 20 minutes of watching one of your videos. Great video. keep it up bud.

[@eveRide]

+Chris Roscillo That's the main goal of my videos... to get people amped about riding :) One of these days I'm going to have to try an XR650!

[@phillipknapp3195]

Shazam!! That must be Black Bear pass? .. I had to pull my desk drawers out and hang on just to watch that part!! Great video, looking forward to seeing more.

[@eveRide]

+Phillip Knapp Ahh yeah Black Bear pass is a later video, and honestly it was SOOOO nuts! Imogene and Black Bear are pretty close together, both overlook Telluride.

[@DavidWalker-ry4fi]

Loved it Tyler! The transition on your descent into Uray musically and scenary at 09:00 min mark was emotional and spectacular! Great editing!

[@eveRide]

+David Walker Thanks so much! The KZbin audio library is pretty great these days!

[@allenhuling598]

Well done - the way dual sport should be! Great video/edit work, thanks for sharing it. Some great country you get to ride there in Utah and Colorado. Keep up the good work!

[@tarzaan2603]

I stayed in ouray last summer for a few months to ride and kayak, what a beautiful area!!! So glad you got footage of it!

[@michellevesque4000]

eveRIDE, you are doing a fantastic job with all your videos. I really like your channel. Thank you for sharing all of them.Michel from Montreal

[@eveRide]

+Michel Lévesque Thanks Michel! Come down to the western states sometime and enjoy :)

[@ridewithrashad]

Jeff Emig is one of my childhood heroes! That is awesome that you got to ride with a legend man! I would love to be able to ride in any of the places you have there.. PA is one big sharp rock lol.

[@eveRide]

+advshad Ah man Colorado is kinda one big sharp rock, too... but it's a pretty one! :D

[@rmichael9185]

Everide best video so far.

[@ZSharkPH]

Another outstanding video Man!!! That route looks like a dual sport dream.

[@manmedel]

Really nice to see so many partners in dual motorcycle best regards Medel

[@TheFLBClub]

Highway 141 south from Gateway is probably the best (paved) motorcycling road in Colorado. There's a dirt route from Gateway south as well, just to the east of there, on the Uncompahgre plateau. Amazing video, as always!

[@eveRide]

+The FLB Club Thanks Richard! Yeah that area near Gateway was next-level stuff for sure.

[@klrcow7911]

Absolutely beautiful scenery you done got yourself into. Thanks for sharing with those of use who live vicariously through others adventures.

[@armweak13]

Awesome video as usual Everide, beautiful scenery but hell no to that cliff road! Haha :)

[@Kennebec27]

I blame you, for this. I started watching your videos yesterday, and today I went out and test rode a Kawasaki 650 and a 250. Now tomorrow I am probably going to go buy a new Suzuki DR-Z400S. I've been wanting something different from my motorcycle trips, and you showed me exactly what it was that I was missing. Got the OK from the wife. And I will be signing up for a Ride with you next year. Thanks for making me spend more money ;)

[@bodimrl1]

This is another great video! I can't wait for your videos to come out! keep them coming and thanks for the great work.

[@es20641]

I've been looking forward to this one :) Thanks for the video!

[@johnnywishbone932]

I love this channel! I find myself watching it just about everyday!

[@CaliforniaDualSportRiders]

If this trip is even half as fun as this sweet video makes it seem like... it must have been an amazing adventure!

[@eveRide]

+California Dual Sport Riders Man it really was the cat's meow! hahaha such a good adage, that :)

[@TheSavvyCouple]

Awesome Video Everide! Keep up the awesome work!

[@OtisENGINEuity]

can I just say I'm actually happy the og music is back... and I;m still waiting for the everide jaws mashup :P and they found out first hand about Tyler's awkward weirdness.. yep it is known

[@fredtello]

great video of the scenery!!,,, I live there.. Montrose......I am so lucky to be able to ride all the passes and trails often.......If you see this video.... better put the ride on your bucket list..... ( and there are so many more trails out here to ride that are just as good)

[@eveRide]

+alfred pontello My bro in law is moving to Montrose, so I might have to ride out there, stay with him, and take some rides with you!

[@bbundridge]

Dude, gorgeous. When I get my bike, i'll have to venture out your way. Simply stunning scenery!

[@ADVBandit]

I always enjoy your videos. Very well made and entertaining.

[@WesleyRomeo]

WOW! Awesome scenic ride!

[@azrydr1723]

Good job Tyler. You have some footage that really shows off that track. Amazing drop-offs. Can't wait to see more coverage of the ride with the drone.

[@BayouChilehead]

That's some awesome scenery!! One day I'll have a dual sport and be able to enjoy those kind of rides! Ride safe!!

[@giuliobuccini208]

Niceeeeee! I think that you enjoyed the ride like a penguin in an ice cream shop : ) : ) :) Thanks for the video!

[@eveRide]

+Giulio Buccini That simile sums it up nicely :D

[@Heartlanddualsport]

Another awesome video, love it. Keep up the inspirational works my friend.

[@MuddySump]

No hands one foot riding position. Taking adventure riding to a whole new level :-D

[@eveRide]

+MuddySump I know, right? Jimmy is a beast!

[@danhillam]

Great video Tyler! Thanks for the great work you do. That is some beautiful scenery and excellent riding.

[@eveRide]

+Dan Hillam (adventureDan) Thanks Dan!!

[@red97jeep100]

Great footage and musical score!

[@ChrisPD06]

Great video! Some amazing footage + well edited, looks like a great place to ride.

[@dustyweasel41]

This is my favorite video you've put out to date. Nice job as usual. Thanks

[@eveRide]

+toy g Thanks! I'll have to make more like it :)

[@carolusrex3047]

Dream ride! Wow, thanks for sharing!

[@HarryHollertheWolf]

What an awesome trip. I love all your videos, keep them coming!

[@eveRide]

+Harry Holler Most definiltey!

[@andypandy.]

Such beautifully rugged country!!! Looks amazing!! Fantastic edit mate!!! You really captured some great footage out there on the trails!!

[@Gunner40Five]

Epic stuff there Ty man! Can't wait for the next episode.

[@eveRide]

+Gunner40Five Thanks K-town!

[@Wickedtrailadventures]

Master of the vids!!!...Enjoyed the Adventure...CRO

[@Bimble]

It's almost like you made that epic scenery up on some genii wish list!....or maybe if Willy Wonka was a biker (say that 3 x fast) & I thought your cat call was hilarious, man. Nearly choked on my tea laughing! Stunning, Sir! In fact, Scrumdidlyumptious!...you and the Widow both! :)

[@eveRide]

+BimbleBoy Blue Haaahahaha! Yeah cat calling Jeff Emig was definitely one of those "did I really just do that?" moments.. :D

[@DirtHog365MV]

Thank-you bro for making such an epic journey into an epic vid - I am still captivated by how well you put your stories together from the voice-overs to the music selection. Loved every bit of this as these are the places I have only dreamed of riding and here they are yet again in live/living color. Absolutely wonderful and ranking this at the top of all the awesome vids you have put up in the past...beyond well done, loved it! =0)

[@eveRide]

+DirtHog365 Thanks so much, Wayne! Let's make "someday" "someday soon" that we finally ride together, eh?

[@DirtHog365MV]

Yea I am done with that whole "one day" / "someday"...oddly enough, those days never come. I will send ya a message on FB to go get this meet-up figured out! =0)

[@7plymaple124]

My KLR has been in the back yard under a tarp for a year now with a flat tire. It hurts to watch this awesome video! Great footage!

[@eveRide]

+7plymaple I'm about six seconds from starting a small "gofundme" to get you a new tire and money for a change. Go ride that thing! I promise it will forgive you in the best ways haha :D

[@MrDuhfactor]

Wow dude.... felt like I was right there with you guys... wish I was...... So well done Tyler, I really enjoyed that video, and I can't wait to see the next one, soo guuuud!

[@eveRide]

+MrDuhfactor Thanks so much Damon! This is one of those trips that we'll have to do when the casa is done and the stress level is low. It really is a wonderful adventure route!

[@Dracati]

Excellent Edit Effort & the music was spot on for each scene !!! Glad u shared the clip with the hole in the mt. u rode thru, & that wreck was scary with those cliffs on the ascent... and descent of the Pass. Glad the guys were cool with the stationary shots...since I know in a group ride, it's sometimes difficult to get a head, or catch up...but the payoff makes the video eR !!! BRAVO !!! ;)

[@eveRide]

+Dracati Ducati Some of these great still shots were from my buddy Wes from Rocky Mountain. He's mega fast so he was always happy to lag behind, get some epic shots, and then catch up like it was nothing :)

[@Dracati]

Very Cool !!!

[@tyleracree4855]

That looks like an awesome trip.

[@DroneGirl1]

Oh my Goodness so so stunning out there and I can see that bike is just the real deal for this adventure :) Amazing and big thumbs up from me! :)

[@eveRide]

+Drone Girl Thanks so much! The DRZ was definitely a great bike for this adventure!

[@DroneGirl1]

eveRide ADV Your'e welcome and have a good day ! :)

[@chaindrivesumner9470]

fantastic video! enjoy the ride man

[@13BnikAs]

Man those are some epic locations I will so do this one day.

[@DrDualSport]

Wow! Nice scenery gotta do that one...thanks for sharing!

[@eveRide]

+Dr. Dual Sport We'll have to take some time and do it sometime next summer. It's probably already snowing or at least close to snowing up there.

[@RyanHeafner]

Greet ride. I just rode 128 out of Moab along the Colorado River. Great scenery and made a little video myself.

[@eveRide]

+Ryan Heafner I'll have to check it out!

[@VeeDubJohn]

I don't know about those cliffs... Scary! I get tense just watching. Nice vid though, thank you!

[@desertdaveadv404]

great video i would like to see more videos of camp outs on the bike love the gear reviews thanks for all the work you put into your vlog

[@fredtello]

and if you have a dirt bike... ie.. ktm 300 or such... the single track and hill climbs at peach valley are insane!!!!

[@azdesertdog]

Looks like a great ride. As always well done! I have to admit I have lust in my heart for a KTM 690.

[@eveRide]

+azdesertdog I have some SERIOUS lust in my heart for a 990. I tested MRduhfactor's and honestly... HONESTLY... never ride a bike you don't have the money to buy. That's all I'm gonna say. :)

[@gncc1race]

Amazing Mr. eveRide! The views, the cinematography, the edit... Excellent work Tyler. Coming to expect that from you. I have to say that the video quality was outstanding, the landscape seemed like it was going to jump off the screen! Was that filmed in 3D? LOL!! Thank you sir!

[@eveRide]

+gncc1race Yeah that little as100v does a pretty decent job, eh? I was disappointed that the camera angle was low so I didn't get a lot of those majestic mountains on the way down, though. I guess you'll just have to see those peaks for yourself :D

[@rune-photo]

thanx! this is good show to watch...always!

[@eveRide]

+Rune Holthen Thanks Rune!

[@Joe-sg8tk]

Awesome quality video! Really enjoyable. Keep up the work. It will pay off.

[@eveRide]

+wd40 ducttape Thanks so much John! Hopefully some big things are coming on the horizon, and then I'll pay you back or pay it forward :)

[@DRZcoffeegirlRide]

so much AWESOME! I'm greedy I want more LOL... I want to go on that ride big time. That was an amazing vid Ty can't wait for the next!

[@eveRide]

+DRZcoffeegirl Ride Thanks so much Juanita! That whole ride was one for the record books. Such legendary trails!

[@NessedUpProductions]

That was epic bro!! So awesome you got picked for that ride!! That double track on the Cliffside was incredible! As always bro, a top notch video production!

[@eveRide]

+NessedUpProductions We're definitely going to have to do this as a crew some time!!

[@speckitis]

Excellent videos!

[@Iowarail]

Thanks for the videos and thanks for the Everide sticker it looks great on my KLR!!!!!!!

[@eveRide]

+Iowarail Woot! Glad you finally got the sticker! I'm sure your KLR looked great without it, too :)

[@reg26]

GREAT Video!!!

[@DaMotoVlogga]

lol ivé been watching all my fav tubers on my 55" tv but i have to come to the computer like and leave a comment. But wow this was bloody amazing not to watch on the big screen mate. Just epic views, great footage and as always awesome commentator.

[@eveRide]

+DaMotoVlogga Thanks Laz! I need to watch more KZbin on my 'Tube, too. Geez that's a tongue twister!

[@BadKarmaPa]

Spectacular, you really have this video making down.

[@eveRide]

+BadKarmaPa Thanks, that really means a lot!

[@Magnus0311]

This was awesome!

[@regulardan]

What an awesome adventure! A few scary spots but so worth it for that stupid awesome scenery. Dig the way you put together the vid too!

[@eveRide]

+regulardan Thanks man! Honestly I take some cues from you... your video and documentary style are fantastic!

[@regulardan]

+eveRide ADV Thanks man that means alot to me that you would say that! :) I don't think I do anything special though. I think all your hard work you have put into this career path is really showing. the Vids are top notch! Hopefully the youtube robots pick up on that and share your stuff around! Lookign fowrd to the next installment

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Such an amazing edit... Such an amazing trip. Amazing how you can go from desert to forests and waterfalls in one trip. Those drop offs would scare me... I need to conquer my fear of heights

[@eveRide]

+shadetree surgeon I think they look worse on camera somehow... then again, going over one of those cliffs would definitely mean death haha :D

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Yeah... That's terrifying lol. I'm bad with heights, Florida is a nice flat safety blanket haha

[@eveRide]

+shadetree surgeon Haha two words: "swamps" and "gators". I'll stick to my cliffs :)

[@zzxx33mh]

Man you're right,it's really wonderful switching between different terrains..because it will shows the abilities of bikes and the riders ,more knowledge..so they can approve some points..witch good buddies..

[@shadetreesurgeon]

The don't call me gator man for nothin! Haha. But really gators spook easy, most times they just run away if they see humans. We only get problems with them when people start feeding them.

[@MiViBaBo]

oh my god i love this channel !

[@eveRide]

+Mike Ballenger And this channel loves you right back, Mike :) haha :D

[@clintstallone]

Your living the dream pal

[@crjdirt]

How long did you think about whether or not to add the sexy catwalk clip? Ha! Well I thought it was funny, good for you for throwing some comedy in there. Great vid, great adventure, great motivation for everyone to get out and explore.

[@eveRide]

+crj dirt (crjdirt) Ahahahaha it was one of the first clips I put in. Embarrassing stuff is kinda the spice of life :D

[@chrispuder1527]

I wonder how many people, cars, bikes have gone over the cliff there? Pretty darn spectacular!

[@aaronbehindbars]

When I was 16, went over Imogene coming from Ouray on my KLR250. I don't remember all of those drop-offs, but it was really foggy up there that day.

[@eveRide]

+Aaron Fink Hahaha man sometimes that fog is a good thing... it would have kept me from having that huge knot in my stomach :)

[@aaronbehindbars]

+eveRide ADV It actually wasn't that bad. I don't recall the trail being particularly technical, not like Black Bear Pass which has some knarly stuff on the descent into Telluride. I ended up on that with my KLR650 3 years later, caught in a thunderstorm with nowhere to run for cover, but that wasn't the scariest thing I have done in this area. The most frightened of all the times I was riding around in this area was my first time out on US 550 heading up to Red Mountain Pass from Ouray. I was 15, barely had my provisional license for 5 months, and never been that close to a 1000 foot drop-off in my short life on 2 wheels. I was literally screaming at the top of my lungs, "I'M GONNA DIE!" My 1978 Honda XL175 handled Engineer Pass like a boss as well as making it to the top of Black Bear and over Ophir Pass.

[@eveRide]

+Aaron Fink Whoa I can't imagine riding that as a kid! You've got guts!!!

[@chainsawbobnichols]

WOW , GREAT VIDEO...!

[@northeastadventures9537]

I could watch these videos all day fantastic quality a really makes you feel apart of it great to see shame I'm here in the UK not much to ride compared to you lot over in the US hahaha

[@ColoradoDualSport]

Man, this is epic video! I can't wait to get out there and ride those passes. I guess you found out if Jeff E could handle the raw man hug loving power of eveRide! I think I saw him start to strike a pose before his "should I be doing this" kicked in LOL! Man, so glad you had such an awesome experience. Keep the videos coming bro!

[@ColoradoDualSport]

P.s. I have footage of me and Mrs.Stacey at the stream where you and Jay Theo jumped in to cool off. She had no idea why I was laughing so hard when we got to that spot.

[@eveRide]

+ColoradoDualSport Hahahaha I was naked there! hahaha!

[@eveRide]

+ColoradoDualSport Yeah I could tell he was SO close to doing something funny! He probably would have had it been the next day. Jeff's a cool guy :)

[@jr996turbo]

That ride made me nervous, holy smokes, those cliffs...

[@eveRide]

+jr996turbo Yeah they had a bit of a pucker factor :)

[@MauiWeddingPlanner]

Great ride and great video! HOX Approved!

[@eveRide]

+MauiWeddingPlanner When are you going to come back and ride Duck Creek again? I wished I would have taken you up on that WR450 offer... not to ride it, but just so you'd still have it!!

[@chtxfz0983]

Amazing, I'd have been hugging the inside of the roads so hard I'd have had to either replace my tires or turn them around halfway up.

[@eveRide]

+CHTXFZ09 Yeah I was definitely glad to have the DRZ on those "cliffy" parts... that was some pretty sketchy terrain!

[@markgunnison]

Great video!

[@eveRide]

+Mark Gunnison Thanks Mark!!

[@100SpokeRiderz]

Very Cool Vid

[@Sum4Seb]

Well after watching this 5 times, we will finally comment :) Perfection is hard to describe but here it is... PERFECT! You've really improved from when we were watching your first videos to now. You must have been in heaven riding with like minded individuals and the scenery you got to see is just amazing! How did most of the bikes perform through out the trip? Very interested in a couple of the KTM's... it would be nice to get a bit more technical feedback on the bikes themselves. Thanks for pouring your heart into your video Tyler it really shows that you care :) *T4S*

[@eveRide]

+Sum4Seb Thanks so much!!! You know, I'm really biased, but I think the DRZ was the perfect bike for this trip. It had the range, the suspension, the clearance, and did all that the KTMs did for a lot less moolah. The KTMs are better, faster, and the engineering is top-notch... but that old DRZ did it with style :) Some of the guys I talked to said that the 690s are still buzzy and uncomfortable on the highway, and their range was about the same as my DRZ (which sometimes gets terrible fuel mileage).

[@jaetheo]

Hey bro! thanks for the shout out! That looks like an amazing ride! Excellent footage and awkward parts too! Sooo, 2016?

[@eveRide]

+jaetheo I'm just sitting here nodding. And nodding. And nodding. I'll be nodding until 2016. Tell me your plans, brother.

[@kevinburns8343]

Awesome ride !!!! No need to say more. Kevin

[@Tankerman]

I know who isn't sharing a tent with you anytime soon haha. You really got some amazing shots. What a ride yall had. No love for the Honda folks I see. Stay safe

+Tankerman Yeah they were kinda selective on who they picked with what bikes. Logistically they went with winners with KLRs because they have a lot of KLR parts on-hand, so any problems could have been easily fixed. The XR guy and me on my DRZ threw them for a bit of a loop, but our bikes did fine so no worries :)

Good conditions. Often times there are 20 foot snow walls from Tom Boy up to the Imogene summit.

+Dirt Hammers Thanks so much! It was an absolute blast!

Your video quality has been getting better and better! I like how you've been adjusting the colors and contrast within the video. With the great scenery it really makes the pictures pop off the screen! I can't wait to get to CO on my KLR. Have you ever considered tips for riding in soft sand with a heavy ADV bike (KLR+) as a topic for one of your videos?

I really have to get down there and ride some of this stuff. You make it pretty desirable man!!!

[@eveRide]

+sixthisoverdrive Ahhh the video doesn't even do it justice. It's an amazing area!

[@sixthisoverdrive]

That's always the case, mind you your videos are getting better and better at creating that excitement.
