Following a Husqvarna TE 300i at Ocala National Forest

Perfect weather with perfect conditions made for a perfect ride! I'm beyond thankful to Robert for taking me on an awesome adventure through the Ocala National Forest. It was great to see him rip his Husqvarna on his favorite trail. Thankfully he didn't drop me too bad! It was an unforgettable experience and I cant wait to go back!

Pete:s safety 1st Me: Full Send That Shit lol 🤣😂

[@leedimatteo5078]

safety first as Robert checks out kinda like Chad does on the trx, lol

[@TerrellSpivey]

Haha! I literally am out riding and stopped to take a quick break and seen you uploaded a video and my break went from quick to 26mins! Lol Love the content as always!! That 700 sounding beastly! Love that 2 stroke sound too! Great mixture of sound! Oh and yeah them trials are quite bushy! I would have been a lil skeptical too so definitely safety first!! We can't watch good trial riding if you get hurt! Staying tuned!!💯💪

[@AveryGibsonChannel]

Today I brought home a 2020 Raptor 700r Special Edition. Super pumped to get out and rip my new machine. Quality content as always Pete!

[@PeteHager]

Avery Gibson congratulations on the new raptor 🤘😊 have fun man!

[@BBBoooooooBBB]

finally, a classic Pete Hager video, 26 min full riding, that's gold🤑... it was about time, this week i went trough all your summer riding videos again😅... Keep it up!👍 and that pipe sound kills me man🤪

[@BayCityBanshee]

As long as you keep producing I’ll keep watching. Your comments about weather are why people come to Florida. Definitely looked like a good day to be out riding.

[@PeteHager]

this trail riding and the turns and the trails i go on every time and it makes me wonder if that was you guys that we were chasing all along

[@laynecape9676]

You should go to Haspin Acres in Laurel Indiana. They have almost 750 acres to ride on, and they have a motocross track

[@AveryGibsonChannel]

Layne Cape I’d like to see what Pete has to say about Badlands in Attica Indiana on top of Haspin Acres. I personally haven’t been to Haspin but I’ve heard good things and am looking to see what it’s all about this summer.

[@laynecape9676]

Avery Gibson you can get lost in Haspin easily, but One of my friends has been to the badlands and he said that you can stay busy for days up there

[@BayCityBanshee]

Croom in FL is 2,600 acres and Ocala national forest is like double the size. Good thing he rode with Rob because he probably would’ve got lost.

[@PeteHager]

BayCity Banshee I definitely would’ve gotten lost without Robert 😅😅

[@PeteHager]

Layne Cape I added Haspin Acres to my Indiana ride list. I’ve had countless recommendations to the badlands in Attica so I definitely hope to hit that place up this year. 🤞 I’ll definitely be announcing it if we plan anything 👍

[@RaptorWRLD]

I'm about 3 hrs south from there, I've never seen those trails, will have to check them out. I'm glad for u that it rained before ur ride like u said. Fl. sand trails are so much faster and more ridable after rain packs it down some. Another GREAT vid Pete!

[@exothermal.sprocket]

You planning on running upgrades to the Raptor suspension?

[@PeteHager]

Lifted_Above hopefully. There’s a lot of things to buy and not very much money 😅 as of now the main focus would be getting Connor his own machine so we can improve our capture at rides. If we can manage that and still afford a suspension overhaul then that’s what we’ll do!

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@PeteHager I hear ya.

[@dooflicker1]

That's awesome you got to ride there. ONF, that's where I grew up. I used to ride there almost every weekend for many years. That first pond you came to is called blue sink. Awesome place to swim and cool off when its blazing hot lol. Great vid and the pipe sounds sweet!! 👍👍 Oh and yeah, you gotta watch out for the DNR there if you get off the designated trails. Years ago you could ride all over the ONF and at night as well which was really cool. Anyway great vids as always!! Keep them coming. 👍👍

[@PeteHager]

It would be crazy to swim in one of those ponds! Robert said a lot of them are sink holes and that people dive them. It was about 65 degrees that day or I'm sure I would've wanted to jump in lol It was an epic ride and I was glad we didn't have any issues with the DNR. They may not of approved of my decibel amount 😅Riding at night there would be wild too. I would definitely want a nice light bar for that. I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊

[@5221982]

Pete Hager what decibel level are you? Told you before I tell you again, I’m a fan and appreciate your commitment to your channel. Anyway I was asking because I have the same setup in order except I got a Dasa. I hear they are similar. Is it too loud or just right?

Nice video. Lived in Florida back in the '90s and those types of trails are all over the state. Had some close calls because of they were not directional.

[@qgenereaux9680]

I live in Orlando, just picked up a crf250f last year & have yet to visited these trails 😭 will soon soon though. Dope vid !!

[@RyanWhetten]

Hey Pete, If you make it out to Utah or Idaho I have R1 Raptor that you have to try out.

[@PeteHager]

Ryan Whetten that would be wild man! Joe Goettl is in Utah, maybe someday I’ll be out to visit him and be in your neck of the woods! It would be wild to see your R1 raptor in action, not sure if I would have the guts to ride it 😅😆

[@RyanWhetten]

@@PeteHager It has 4 different power modes so you can tame it down a little bit. Joe lives just around the point of the mountain from me so if you come to visit i'm happy to help you guys film.

[@darrenprasad1892]

What's up man. I've been wanting to get a ATV and I've been looking at a polaris phoenix 200 but its 4000$. What's your thoughts and should I get it? And are there any good atvs for 14 year olds that you reccomend? Let me know

[@PeteHager]

Hey Darren. Is this your first ATV?? A 200 may be a good starting point but I fear it could be physically small for you since I’m sure your still growing. $4k is a lot of money for that type of machine. You must have found a really new example. If your looking for more of a sport ATV than starting with a 400 may be a better route. They’re plenty fast and also very easy to ride. You can grow into them as your abilities progress. Honda 400ex’s are very affordable, reliable, and have tons of aftermarket parts available. They are a manual with a clutch but you would be surprised how fast you’ll learn. If the 400 seems overkill you could look for a 300ex as well. I would stay away from Polaris since there’s rarely any aftermarket available and customizing your machine is half the fun! Hope this is helpful and good luck with your purchase! 🤘

[@darrenprasad1892]

@@PeteHager I have my ohv license and ATV riding license and I feel like I'm well trained to jump from a 125cc to a 200. I feel like a 300cc is a little to fast and I'm really short for my age. I'm 4'9 and it looks lm too small for everything. Please give me your recommendations because I'm looking for sport atvs and sport utility atvs. So just let me know. Thanks.

Pete Hagar awesome footage! How long did it take for you to get a good following? Just curious. I love to make videos of my friends/family and I riding but it adds a little more excitement when you know others enjoy the footage. Thanks man and keep up the great content. ✊

[@PeteHager]

Hey Josh. I picked up my Raptor in August of 2018 and started making ride videos again when the new Hero 7 came out late October 2018. My channel is older from high school and at the time I had about 2,000 old subscribers from the years. By the spring of 2019 I had over 30,000 subscribers. My main focuses early on were smooth footage and no wind noise. I just wanted to take the time to do the simple things that a lot of ride videos struggle with. Things were kinda slow at first but the key to building the following was putting myself on camera (which was nerve racking lol) and getting a microphone. Commentating my rides helped this grow really fast. Not only does the viewer get to know me but I also get way better engine audio with the motovlog microphone set up. Adding some additional footage from a tripod set up and occasional drone footage adds more to the content as well. I just try to make fun ride videos to promote our sport! If you take the time to get the quality figured out the views will follow. This video for example took me upwards to 30 hours to create. I'm kinda picky 😆 Hope this is helpful!

[@hossthomas]

@@PeteHager thanks man, any response would have been greatly appreciated, seeing you took the time to break it down means a lot. There is a obvious gap in quality between your videos and and the others on youtube. God Bless brother✊

Which chest mount do you use for the gopro??

MrTank714 we just used a standard gopro chest strap/mount on Robert. He was wearing a chest protector so that helped keep the camera more stable. My camera is hanging off the helmet chin bar just above chest cam height. My set up is annoying to ride with but the angle is worth it
