Great video! I was there mid-Nov to MTB for the first time. Even excellent video (and editing) like yours doesn't do Moab justice. The place is truly amazing and should be on every OHVer's bucket list. Next time I go I'm bringing a dirtbike. This video and your Fins & Things video are great experiences of what Moab has to offer. Thanks for making such good content - SUBSCRIBED!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Thanks so much for the good words and I’m glad that you enjoy them. There are so many amazing trails out there and they just get more and more fun with each one

[@timmckennie4276]

My back hurt just watching the one dude ride the whole trail sitting down, ouch!

[@Sterlingforsyth]

HELL yeah!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Thanks 😊

[@captainklr6508]

Yea... as a part time resident of Moab, you need to be super careful to follow the dashed lines. A shortcut can lead to a drop off that can be hazardous to your life. at 10:04 -10:24 is a real nemesis with the hard reversal. At 10:14 if you follow the dashed line (far left) and imagine it continuing up the face... that's a better line in my mind. You go straight up the face with speed then come off the throttle at the top so you don't wheelie over backwards. You can walk it to check it out before trying. I've found this to be easier than the reversal which is the hardest part of this ride, and most bikes dumped. Super steep and as usual the Go Pro does not reveal the true steepness of this section. This is one of the best Go Pro/Drone videos I've ever seen. Nice job! Recommend the practice loop before the main ride for a warmup. Small easy to ride bikes increase safety. Slickrock really eats your tires up. Awesome video. Thanks!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Thanks for all the extra info and glad you enjoyed the video 👏

[@ridingdeep8530]

Great ride footage man, I live in southern Utah so I am extremely spoiled. The drone footage was particularly good in this one. Thank you for putting it together, it was great start my day with this video.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Glad you enjoyed it. At George is one of my favorite areas to ride

[@jeffelmore7250]

Love this trail!! So much fun. Can't wait to do it again.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Definitely a good area. I want to run it on the big bikes

[@Tremorx00]

I rode this on a bicycle when was about 13 or so. It was super difficult and hot!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, I can see it being a long day without an engine As for heat... all about time of the year

[@chestonbeck9569]

One of my favorite rides

[@EverySingleSunday]

Definitely a good time

[@totallyrandomvideo1]

I'm amazed with the course. Very nice scenery, very different from my home, and I'm sure the gopro doesn't make justice. Love that there is a line to help get in course for the lower skilled rider, or the less oriented ones. That is a great idea. Cheers.

[@rodrigofabregas7756]

Great trail & riding Travis!

[@trexn8]

That was killer! I need a Skydio drone my Mavic is horrible at tracking.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, they definitely both have their good points. Skydio for tracking is the only good option now

[@randiruge1265]

You made it look easy and the Gopro doesn't do it justice. Although I didn't have any crashes it sure got in my head. The off camber stuff makes for an interesting ride.

[@509FUN]

Contrary to popular belief a gummy in hot rocky conditions will actually slide out easier than a stiff hard compound tire that turns soft in heat. Gummy’s just wear like crazy in the heat. But someone riding someone else’s bike usually gets confused by those things😂

[@EverySingleSunday]

There are a million different compounds of tire. A JX8 would be silly to run here but a VE33s works great and lasts long enough.

[@easy4steve]

thx guys great trail

[@robh3267]

Love the drone footage,I've ridden Slick Rock it seems more like a mountain bike trail it has some good scenery but not really challenging for a dirt bike at all there is much better stuff to ride in that same area but it's a good trail for beginner riders.

[@jcknepp]

Awesome video! I miss Moab so bad! What time of year was this recorded?

[@subthousandoaks]

Ty!

[@Meekerextreme]

The dotted while center area is better, also if you follow riders that ride there a lot, there are wicked nutty spots but it's actually easier, just looks scary and you can HAUL butt through slickrock. It's not an overly hard trail I dragged a guy on a GS1200 on it.

[@EverySingleSunday]

I had 4 or 5 Moab trips and this was our first time doing this. Had a couple newer guys on this trip and it seemed like a good time to check it out Would prefer to do this on my ADV if I go back

[@Hans_P]

Awesome! Nothing like this in Canada!

[@EverySingleSunday]

I would rather ride at McNutt any day 🤘

[@rburnside7802]

I have not run slick rock because (of not having a plated dirt bike)

[@EverySingleSunday]

If I were in your shoes I would have done both :-) My GoPro also captures a lot of swearing, not sure how :-)

[@timmckennie4276]

I thought fnt was right across the road from slick rock? Just curious why you’d need a plate for one and not the other.

[@rburnside7802]

@@timmckennie4276 LMAO because my only two brain cells did not quite collide correctly. For some reason I thought slick rock did not loop. Porcupine Rim is the one that does not make a loop. Good catch sir! Sorry for the misinformation.

[@Braapncamp]

You bet that I would like to ride on a trail like this. Where we have similar rounded rocky ladscape at Swedish westcoast it is totally forbidden to enter with a bike. Would be nice to have at marked up trail like this. Cool ride and beautiful lanscape guys. Happy trails!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Thanks Mattias. Next time I hit Moab I want to take my 790 along. This trial would be so much fun on the big bike

[@Braapncamp]

@@EverySingleSunday it looked like the 790 would be fit for a run there! But those 2-strokes must be perfect. Do You pay a fee to enter the track or is it open? How long is it? Does it end where you start or could you tide thru as well?

[@timmckennie4276]

There’s a fee to get into the rec area. There’s more trails in there also. I think it’s about 10 miles, 13 if you do the practice loop. It’s a loop, you start and finish in the parking lot. Never rode on a dirt bike but a bunch on my mtb. Gita get my new dirt bike out there.

[@Braapncamp]

@@timmckennie4276 Sounds great with a loop long enough to get alot of fun out of it. Looks technical fun. Many of our open enduro tracks are too demanding for a 790R and technically exhausting. Chris Birch style or go with a 300cc. 😂💪

[@tlh001]

Great video! I’ve ridden Slickrock many times on my mtn bike, but always wanted to try it on my WR450F. You guys make the climbs look so easy. The climbs are a little more intimidating with pedals. I’ve left a lot of skin out there.

[@ml5955]

Nice trail Travis! How many miles is it, and how long does it take at an intermediate pace (I know that is subjective)? Thanks!

[@EverySingleSunday]

I would have to look it up. It’s not more than 4 to 6 miles and most people could do it between an hour or two if you were moving the whole time There are a couple lookouts and some other little spots like that you can stop and kill some time if you want to make a day of it

[@dustinmreese]

The uphill switchback at 10:20 is a bitch! I dropped my KTM 690 at the exact same spot. I was by myself and the recovery was a little nerve-wracking! Haha. Great video.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, easier to straight line that section for sure. It can be intimidating for sure

[@VanekLarson]

Getting famous off comments day 189, so I can live the dream, live everyday like it’s your last day🚀🚀🚀

Me too!

[@mikeinsanediego]

So I saw the lot at the end can you drive through town unplated?

[@robh3267]

Last time I was there I rode through town, down the highway and all over unplated for a week and on the last day got a ticket in town on the way to the trail head from a hard ass cop, total jerk, who even made us sit there and wait while one of the guys with a plated bike ride all the way back to get the truck and trailer to transport the unplated bikes, had to pay the fine for the ticket since I don't live in that state, so the answer to your question is no.

[@mikeinsanediego]

So what's the deal...no plates required? Green sticker o.k.? ..do you need to trailer to the trail head...how's the size of the lot/staging area....I've got a plated xr400 but would rather ride my cr250..need to get up there

[@darrylmoffett8323]

Does anyone do this on larger Adventure bikes? Any videos if so?

[@EverySingleSunday]

I plan on taking my 790 out there whenever I go back I believe Kyle Bradshaw did this trail on his 950 SE. And I think Cory from Camel ADV has as well

[@dustinmreese]

I did it all on my KTM 690 when I was passing through the area for UTBDR. You could do most of it on a larger bike but some of the sections would be kind of sketchy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6qXn4agds-lgcU

[@gregorymallory]

Is this close to where they found that monolith? Nice ride Travis. 👍

[@EverySingleSunday]

I’m not sure. Did you hear it disappeared and then reappeared somewhere else across the world

[@gregorymallory]

@@EverySingleSunday there was a guy on the radio here in Georgia this morning that was there when 4 guys came and took it apart and took it away. The one in Romania was different.

[@sarabrown2082]

You get one of those high pipes yet

[@EverySingleSunday]

I have not Not sure what’s going on with that company

[@509FUN]

Can’t remember where you “said” you were at? Or can’t remember where you were at? Quick way to lose subs lying about locations lol

[@EverySingleSunday]

Better to loose a sub that get a fine for ridding somewhere you shouldn’t be 🤷 Not for this place…. But for many others
