Making MOAB 2 - Fins and Slickrock Trails vs. WR250, & CRF450 Dual Sport Conversions

The last "Making Moab" video only had two dislikes, so I guess you dig the format! Again this is a nice, long, fairly raw look at what happens behind the scenes of our rides/adventures!

Fins and Things and Slickrock trails in Moab are two of my favorites. People ask why I keep going back to those trails when there are so many to experience in Moab, and it's like a good restaurant. You know everything on the menu will be good, but we keep ordering the favorites anyway!

[@eveRide]

I guess you guys liked the format because the last "Making Moab" video only had two dislikes! So here's the next installment on Fins & Things and Slickrock trails in Moab, Utah. Enjoy! If you're short on time, remember you can adjust the speed with the gear in the bottom left corner of the video. Fancy a fancy eveRide shirt? everide.org/shirts

[@Nithhoggr]

eveRide ADV bro, use the hot start to start in the heat. Little lever on the left.

[@spaceboyrr]

The hot start makes it easier Tyler.

[@CaliforniaDualSportRiders]

Great video! I watched the entire thing at work... don't tell anyone!

[@beamdoctor5637]

I watched it twice at work, dosed off part way through. Not because of lack of interest but it was 2 am. I thought video was great. I would have like some where half way through the riders gave opinions of their experience on each trail. Info on comfort, temp outside, what they like about their bike, what they don't, if they had the money what bike they would buy next for a place like MOAB. Not so much for speed but an all around perfect bike.

[@damjan_1]

eveRide ADV Hi EveRide I love your content what do you think about Yamaha xt 600e ? Does it even exist in USA? I have few videos with it.

[@WorstCowboyEver]

I love the randomness and dorky ideas blurted out, because that's me. All the time. At work, dinner, riding...whenever

[@ADVzac]

This video is so much fun. I've watched it like 5 times already. More please! Just like this.

[@allenwilson4166]

11:30 love the desert drone shot with the snow caps in the background good grief that is cool!!!

[@Heartlanddualsport]

Man, this looks like such great time my friend. Thank you so so much, Sorry your buddy got hurt, that's not as much fun for him, but he is tough, keeps on going on. Good stuff as always my friend. Keep up the fun videos and have a blessed weekend. In case you ever have any doubts, you still inspire otters to get out and ride, keep doing what you do best my friend. Dale

[@Sweetmanmoto]

I had to come back and watch this one again. Looked like such a fun ride on incredible trails!

[@chroniclesofsolid]

Loving the longer vids mate. Pretty intense ride! I don't think many people realise how flat a wide angle lens makes things look. Some of that stuff must have been crazy steep. I feel your pain with always having pressure with cameras and getting good shots. Appreciate the effort, COS

[@sarobinson56]

So fun...what I remember about Slick Rock and Fins when I was there last Sept. was how punishing a lot of those changes were, from sand to gnarly rock ledges. I marveled at how my tires and suspension performed, especially for a 2005 DRZ400S. Did anybody else run into that one super steep boulder on a tight left U-turn? I barely made it up that bad boy!

[@ridemoto2915]

Great fun watching you all ride.

[@ShadowStrikerz26]

the motovlog chatter while you are riding is fantastic!

[@ctsingletrack]

I appreciate your commitment for getting the shot. I was just there from Connecticut in August, and have been uploading some of my footage. Slickrock is very steep. I had my WR250 with me, but I left the moto in the camper and mountain biked it. It was great, but now watching this, I really want to do it on the moto!

[@maxroelen3608]

I never rode a dirt bike in Moab, but I did ride the San Rafael Swell in Sept 1995. We set up camp at the base of Temple Mt. My first time riding with my oldest brother and 5 of his riding friends. Got to experience heavy sand, canyons, even a canyon under I 70 west of Green River, UT. I had a Honda 250 XR four stroke, no power on dirt in 3rd gear so stayed in 2nd most of the time. Looks fun. Wish I could ride again but now I have health issues. Thanks for the video.

[@HooksAndWheels]

Please do more of these formats. Out of all the videos I see on youtube, fishing....how to...adventures...anything...you've got the best one by far!!

[@minitstop]

I'm pretty sure that I went into neutral when I was bobbing my head and I was like nuuuuuu! Either that or I was force crop-dusting. As of like last week, my foot is finally pain free. My shoulder is...off and on but getting better with glucosamine and stretching. By the way, this is Curt.

[@jaetheo]

What a classic! I love these old eveRide videos!

[@Cologne_Trooper]

Don’t be afraid to show your goofyness or nerdyness just be yourself. I’m sure everyone else would want it that way too. Anyway love the video ❤️

[@technoskill]

I like this format! Thanks for the entertainment.

[@nirzayisr]

keep up with this format! love it!!

[@daul72]

EverRide !!!! loved the long narrative video, the aerial shots and scenery were great and the goofy fun you have while riding was a laugh. i stumbled across your tutorial videos trying to find different builds and opinions on small ADV / dual sport bikes. love the vids love the channel keep up the great work

[@coryhutchinson7615]

what a fun ride. thanks for the upload!

[@silvertopenduro2703]

Love this format, keep doing them.

[@dropsofink1336]

Beautiful adventure with a great crew 🏆🦾😎

[@Fluffy_Vizier]

This one was more entertaining to watch then the last one, now I want more :)

[@danieldrury7531]

That's some beautiful landscape

[@mikemacgregor5650]

Yes sir like this format. Loved riding slickrock an poison spider.

[@Kennebec27]

Loved this video. It was so much fun. Really want a dualsport now.

[@dustyrock1]

I like the video and the commentary. Learning alot about filming and drones and how beautiful your riding areas are.

[@williammacpherson4004]

Tyler, I REALLY enjoy the "making" videos, perhaps my fav vids to date for actual getting a feel for what its like out there. So much more 'realistic' in the sense of really knowing what went on and how the team were making their way along. It makes me feel a bit as if I was there, and makes me wish I was all the more. I do mini adventures like this with my 12 yr old son, and we always talk of your vids when on the way to and from our riding trails. Ride on!

[@EnduroRiderChannel]

That looks incredible 👌

[@JoeJoeMoto]

What an awesome ride!!

[@Kennebec27]

Cluster cuddle. My new favorite phrase.

[@JeepJim04]

Love your stuff man, please keep putting out the great content.

[@PriestKikyo]

This was AMAZING MAN, loved the style of this long video with commentary! I need to watch more of your videos... I really want to get into riding, just dont have a bike ATM. I think i could be good at it and it just looks like a TON OF FUN!!! (The Snow Capped Mountains in the background was also SICK!)

[@TWISTEDSTRINGS69]

Awesome vid ! Watched every minute...

[@BB-bh3rt]

Jeeps never move... LOL! They probably were kind enough to let your team pass, because they know you are faster :D Cool video by the way.

[@Plastic_Utopia]

That drone footage is dope! Thanks for the vid man.

[@butcherknife59knife46]

Brap-in good with the BROS. Thanks for sharing the ingredients… to a great time !! WR250R rider here . Around Bend Oregon out!

[@crosstrainingenduro]

i know i keep raving about the scenery tyler but it looks amazing! it is SO on the bucket list right now lol. i would much prefer to be riding it though and not running the track like that girl was....

[@xtcrider8270]

Hi crosstraining enduro

[@jefftucker5809]

Love the Moab Trails.

[@screaminsal]

I likem!!!!! ..... I also love when you rock the "CHAN CHAN!"

[@JCrozier1]

Tyler, just found your channel a little over a month ago. Right before you took your month off. I definitely eat up everything that you put out because the editing is so solid and you definitely come off as a a genuine honest person. I can't wait to figure out how to come to one of your rallies.

[@alanwmg]

better then NETFLIX, what amazing production, brother, a big hug for you. thx.

[@damasovi_travels1244]

very cool!!! i loving it!! keep doing this videos, they make me want to go and ride!

[@kiwi-on-a-bike660]

Amazing scenery! Would love to ride it one day!

[@travelwithadeel]

Lovely back view mirror

[@MikeDiesel67]

I have an older WR450 and when it gets hot, I have a valve heat relief trigger near my clutch. It's supposed to help release heat through your valves or something and make it easier to start. And as always, great video. We're riding Sam Houston National Forest tomorrow, I'm stoked.

[@brentg5946]

Tyler I dig these full length videos. Yes the polished final product is good! But watching this reminds me of actual riding with friends instead of it feeling like a promo video. The laughs and fist bumps and all that, just like being there.

[@Gravelcruiser]

Thanks for the heads-up on Moab theft. These are things rarely heard and it's good info for people heading there from far away places. Perhaps a future vid on precautions one should take when traveling to ride. Thanks for all you do.

[@Clickmaster5k]

I liked these a lot. but i like most of what you do. You have a fun mix going on.

[@MTBryanH]

Enjoyed this. Slick rock was originally developed for motorcycles. I've ridden both MTB and motorcycles. Fun stuff! 25 ish minutes on the steep part: I saw a guy crash there on his mountain bike and got a flight for life helicopter ride out.

[@DezertBeagle]

Haha! I remember that first big drop on Fins! I rode in Moab for the first time in 2019, and was not expecting that drop. Saw it drop into nowhere, locked up the brakes, and just fell over! It was crazy steep. Ended up going down and it was fine, but if you aren't expecting it, it will catch you by surprise!

[@jonoz9847]

I still don't get how you don't have over 100k subs. This is the best moto channel.

[@williamriggs8614]

My fall at around 44min.... bahahahahahahahahaha derp. Sorry again Curtis! EVERYONE FROM THE TRIP: LOVE YOU GUYS and I've been practicing. We'll do it again soon.

[@curtisfromtexas]

william riggs it's cool, good times!

[@ridingdeep8530]

Haaaahhh!! "Cluster Cuddle", awesome. I've always thought of you as a Jerk Passer. ;) At least as you are going through a berm you don't continually catch your footpegs on large bushes as is my S.O.P. This is such a great format, fun.

[@2wheelmotohead339]

enjoyed watching. thanks

[@grudgetank3127]

great fun looking ride.. good vid man

[@Eric-nb7vg]

amazing footage!

[@parasnathsingh_smokenstien]

Such a BEAutiful video!!! cameras do smoothen all the rocky surfaces and the elevation as well i totally agree my cameras do that as well!

[@jacobthomas8636]

Awesome video man. Makes me wanna be back there that much more. me and my brother and a few buddies will be out there next week. I can't wait

[@MrDuhfactor]

Look at all the happy people!!!!! That was so much fun! I wish I would have known that drone was a flyin' close by, I would have laid it on the beans tried to look cool like Curt! lol Great commentary bud, it was so fun to watch! Double thumbs up!!

[@jamesx2]

That's a bucket list item for sure !! I live in NY and just bought a 2018 CRF250L. This was an awesome video. Thanks for posting it

[@vegasbattleborn1594]

This was great!!!

[@dustyrock1]

Tyler : Another nice video. Really love the colors. I used to ride with a guy that had a 450x he always had issues with it starting after it got hot. We even had to tow him. Turns out it was the valves.

[@zackerywilson4787]

I had. A blast watching this. I can't wait to get a wr250r or the drz400

[@paulfern78]

Rad. Wish we had trails like that here in Cornwall.🤙🏻

[@sproesser1]

Cluster cuddle! 👍😃

[@seancarr9907]

Love the drone video

[@stuckmojo5398]

Love the video man keep it up!!

[@kennykong_50]

I wish i lived in Utah. I be riding bikes every day, Beautiful landscape.

[@matharris100]

Enjoyed that mate thank u👍

[@hectorheath]

Beautiful country for riding.

[@allenguimond4634]

Beautiful

[@mattbrown5511]

Greta video, looks like a ton of fun.

[@cornholius]

looks fun! Hope you guys know how important "pot holes" are to wildlife and that we shouldn't ride through them if we can avoid it. I only mention it because i noticed it in the video a couple times. Keep it rubber side down, and have a good rest of your summer sir!

[@cameronhicks5225]

Yo man you going up Slick Rock is the smoothest that I've seen you ride! Good work!! And the gravel braaaap at the end of Slick Rock by your crazy-pantsed compadre was sick 🤙👌

[@southernitaliano7ify]

Good job. I like it.

[@miket5772]

Awesome video !!!

[@michaelcordell2919]

great ride

[@b1pig]

Tyler. Every time you do a Moab video, its like I have a big heart ache feeling. I will not deny that I am in love with Moab, Utah. And yea.... we just take our Jeeps out on the trails and park them. LOL If I ever make it out that way with my Jeep, you will need to take it on the trail. Its a whole different kind of offroading. On the "right" trail, it can be mentally draining.

[@allergic2cubicles]

I have ridden that trail 5 or 6 times on mountain bikes over the years. I just got a DR-Z and cant wait to try it with some actual horse power.

[@kenmartyna7331]

Awesome!

[@rex4x4]

Cluster cuddle ? Lol that's a great way to say it 😆🤔😆

[@EpiDot52]

This looks like gobs of fun.

[@woundedtiger7547]

Nice job.

[@stephenbecker1463]

Great video

[@chapc]

Hey Tyler, I really enjoyed this video. I seem to have missed it in the past, but it was very enjoyable. I hope we can ride together again once I get back from Alaska. Take care and God Bless.

[@BrianB1963]

Loved your video Tyler, we would get along extremely well, I'm nerdy and Goofy when I ride also, and I'm no better than you are for sure but I do have a lot of fun!

[@tonycastro6805]

Very cool, thx

[@TortureTestMagazine]

Love it! And now I'm going to order a lock for my trailer hahah

[@sheepdog819]

Really do enjoy sitting down and watching these videos bro. I’ve got a serious itch to buy a WR250R as my fist off road bike. Been street riding for a little while but I really, seriously have been wanting to get in to DS riding. Ugh... I want a damn bike already...

[@Rational_Party]

I do like the long narrated vids. Did the warmup loop on Slickrock last year on my XR400... Crazy stuff, but after a few days in Moab, it doesn't seem so crazy...

[@assassin1a1]

36:03 is an actual cinema effect called a dolly zoom. They use it a lot on super dramatic face shots.

[@urbanprowler]

Get video fella. I enjoy them 👍

[@MarylandWearAndCarry]

yes!

[@SLFYSH]

"Cluster cuddle"-?! Lol. It also sounded like you were channeling Beavis at times too. Looks like fun!

[@jackolbean4765]

fantastic footage! nice mix of 1st person, following, drone, etc... Thanks for sharing! How long did Fins n Things take you to do?

[@darinwynder7207]

Hey just happened on your videos while watching some some TW 200 vids. I enjoyed the running commentary and you guys made good pace through some tough terrain. Interested in seeing you do some trail guides as well as perhaps some thematic vids.

[@chrisenduroadv1405]

Only 11 comments??? Go on with this stuff it's feels not so "commercial"... Nice one thanks!!!

[@krisomalley2653]

Tyler..little leaver above the clutch is a "hot start" not a decompression leaver. Use it after bike is at operational temp. It should help you start the X, I believe it leans the fuel but you should get confirmation on that before you pass it on haha great vids ! I miss my 450 and hope to get another one soon...ish...ride on

[@antytrend]

The landscape stands on its own, even without a motorcycle in the shot 😂😂😂 are you sure? 🤣🤣🤣
