HARDEST Dirtbike Trail Speed Run - Evart MI

[@MidWestMX]

Wish we had trails like that. Absolutely flying buddy. Good watch 👍

[@BeRAD]

They’re fun for about 2 weekends and then it’s all the same no matter where you go haha. I much prefer riding even at my house where there is some tighter gaps, logs, and sharper turns. But yes this trail is pretty badass to hit!

[@J0mama1]

Oh stop, your tails are awesome too. LOL

[@sxsmarine4075]

Love how fast a 125 make you look just from the sound. If that makes sense.

@@sxsmarine4075 agree with you for sure, the 125 is def too much shifting i suppose my point was its not to be counted out as a beast. Look at Jimmy decotis, used to rippp the shit out of a 125

[@bgriz-lee3380]

I would prefer to start every moring with a 2stroke rip through the woods.

Love Evart, but I never understood why everyone says it is the toughest. There are sections of Tomahawk that are tighter and more technical if you ask me.

Hahaha I think the one or two times that happens in a ride would struggle to account for blowing out the whole trail! My 2min long home track has maintained a nice singular rut all the way around! Thanks for watching Nathan!

Oh man, I enjoyed every minute of that run. Good to see a little bit of maintenance tossed in there also. Makes me want a 125x even more.

I Envy your dirt. just ripping this forest to shreds lol. Colorado pebbles and wash for days got me yearning for real dirt.

I kinda prefer the hard pack stuff like in CO. I’ve got a video titled “flowboner” from out your way. Just about as fast but not quite as technical of turns. And some more rocks...

I have a plated WR450F that's a great all around bike, very tractable in the slippery Michigan single track, but I want to add either the YZ125X or YZ250X to my stable of bikes, just to exclusively ride single-track with. I'm having a difficult time deciding between the two. Do you have an opinion on my dilemma, fellow Michagander?

[@Engrave.Danger]

250

[@thambu19]

@beRAD - How long did it take you to complete the loop? The last time I was there I was praying that the loop was done sooner. Was completely drained @others - Whats a typical ride time for you on the trail?

[@BeRAD]

I’m not sure. I’ve never done the loop straight through as I’ve always been with groups of varying speed that like to take many stops. A friend of mine who’s fairly equal pace did it in under 2 hours all said and done with a stop I believe. I’d guess i could do it in 1:40 or something if really trying and no one else was there to run into haha

[@clintonlied]

Lectron is tremendously unneeded in MI where you're riding between 600-1300ft ASL.

This trail looks like so much fun! ❤️ from AUS

[@thambu19]

I always worry about someone like you (a super fast rider) coming at me from the opposite direction on Evart. Gives me chills just thinking of being rammed at that kind of speed. I hope there are people ahead of you who could warn ordinary riders like me of the impending danger :) lol

[@BeRAD]

I don’t ride this fast on most of the blind sections. Plenty of visibility to stop in time even if someone my pace was coming opposite way. Gotta look ahead! My finger never leaves the front brake! Obviously there are a few areas that were a little risky but we chatted with the others riding that day and had a good idea on where they’d be. Most if not all were going the same direction. Sometimes I had people in front of me, yes. But this all boils down to reason I don’t like riding the trail systems much. It’s all way to wide and fast to have fun on without getting dangerous. I honestly have more fun riding in my yard now with a few obstacles and a mile or two of trail over and over. No risk of head ons!

[@CoreyBatchelor]

What’s your fuel oil mix ratio?

[@SmokeyRooster64]

Welp, I'm 7 months late to the party here, but how one Earth did you manage to do this trail this fast and not head-on with anyone? Was the trail closed? Is it a one way? I ask because every time I try to ride even 2% as fast as this, I crash into a 4wheeler that shouldn't even be there and the guy on the 4wheeler blames me for going too fast every time even when I'm going less than 15mph.

[@BeRAD]

It’s 2 way. A combination of talking with others at the staging area and knowing who’s going what way (usually we agree on a direction). Also just looking ahead. As you can tell in the video there plenty of line of site for the most part. And in that sand I can stop very quickly. Anytime I’ve had any “close calls” I was already stopped and/or off the trail before the person even touched their own brakes haha. There are a few sections that visibility sucks…yeah, dumb to go that speed through there but as far as we knew everyone else was either going the same way or we had already bypassed them. This is a reason why I’ve only ridden the public trails 2 or 3 times in the last couple years. I’d rather ride slower technical stuff anyway!

[@jungledaveoffroad]

When did you film this?

[@BeRAD]

It was probably 3 months ago

[@jungledaveoffroad]

@@BeRAD it was super whooped out at the end of sept. I was wondering if you were super fast over them or if it wasn't as bad then. I know orv trails have had more than normal use this summer. Do you go there often?

The only reason the 250 would be better would be the straight long whoop sections which aren’t really in this video. The 125 could go just as fast, it just takes more work and I don’t have the endurance to ride it gracefully on whoops for that long haha
