Stark Varg vs 5 Miles of Hell

[@blbills]

Did this back in April on my Stark Varg and absolutely loved it! You definitely make it look easy!

[@lochnertodd7777]

This is insane. This video created a level of anxiety for me. 🤣 You are a great rider! WOW!

[@farzadr.nahaimd9715]

Ryan!!!! You are the most skilled and best off road dirt bike rider I know. You make the very difficult look so easy. Let's ride!!!!

[@bobsalterorsouthwestsaltah4959]

Awesome stuff as always !!! Can’t believe that you said “fudge” ….. 😉😉😉😂😂😂😂 Great Riding and I love how you keep telling yourself to look up, look ahead, breathe, etc !! Those are all things that I keep telling myself out loud during my races or rides. I definitely have become a better rider since meeting you as we set up the @grindingstone race in 2002. Hope to someday challenge myself on the 5 Miles of Hell !!! Keep up the great stuff Ryan !!! See you in Page !!!

[@DaveLevine27]

You are a maniac bro! Nice run.

[@AZMidlifeEnduro]

so cool to see you ride it on the Stark (quiet)! Amazing to see how you can hold (apply) power of the Stark in areas that migh have wheel slip on a ICE motor. Line choices are always enlightening to see also.

[@TRCa51]

Nice job! I did 5 Miles of hell in 17 on a 300 and look forward to doing it again on my Stark! Great video!

[@JamesMargolis79]

That evil laugh at 9:58 Got em! 🤘

[@Rwells44]

Dirtbikes are too fun

[@walta5478]

Hey Ryan I rode with you a few years back during weekend with webb. You were awesome to ride with and im still using some of advice you gave me about stance and hand placement. Im glad to see your still killing it out on the trail!

[@davidbabbitt106]

“…a 30 second mistake is an hours worth of energy. “ I say that every time I have to pick my bike up😂.

[@BrianSchenk-s8p]

Just watched you Ryan with the boys. Congrats coach!!

[@ElToroMoto]

That was ...... AWESOME!

[@sf4Guy]

Amazing riding skills to make technical trail look easy..👏

[@REDROCKMAN2010]

Very impressive !! I rode with the original guy who made this trail way back in the day! And he would have never imagined the concept or possibility of an eclectic anything on this trail! They rode XR's and KDX's and thought there wouldn't be a better bike to ride! Things change alright! Too bad you never got to ride the now closed secret Dick Brass trails!! They make this trail seem easy! Some of us still have ancient GPS tracks though!

[@Jlow67WV]

Guard those with your life!!!! That would be some awesome stuff! Mad respect here, that was way faster than I could ever do..... but I feel like this guy made a practice run or 2 before the recorded one..... Been here 5 or 6 times, love it. MAD traction, especially compared to the east coast.

[@dahatchery]

Cody Webb on his YZ250X rules that trail!! The 2 smokers last 40 years or more. That thing sounds like made bees!

[@ogasi1798]

never been, likely will never get there sadly as i live other side of the atlantic - i ride though and i can tell from camera that place is crazy - fantastic riding man, very nice

[@Ozfreerider_adventures]

After having a varg for 7 months I can safely say it’s the best bike in trails I’ve ever ridden and it’s not even close ! And I bought it for motocross so this surprised me a lot

[@MessyRides]

This is awesome! I’d love to check that bike out one of these rides if you’d wanna join! That thing looks like it would dust my Kove in this technical stuff!!!

[@Motosportz]

Dooood so fun. I was getting arm pump just watching. Rippin as usual.

[@taylorolson6430]

How has youtube hidden this gem from me

[@regansmith4942]

Those last few minutes across the top are soooo long! Great watch

[@lukejaten]

So fun to watch.

[@markdearlove8634]

Incredible 💥

I let you win.

[@PNWEnduro]

Need to film and upload in 4K on KZbin or the compression kills the video quality giving it a grainy look. 4K will also force YT you give you the higher codec which will help greatly for fast moving POV footage.

[@Rwells44]

@@PNWEnduro Dang, I recorded in 4k and downloaded in 4k but had my upload setting on KZbin wrong… live and learn or maybe I could repost

[@Sen-it]

love the full pull!!!!

[@CoolEyeColorado]

Sweet! Great time.

[@Burner-Adventure-Chronicles]

Nice ride. Made that look easy.....I was supposed to get a Stark. Had deposit on it. Watched the early release vids. I let mine go, as they just don't have the range. A buddy of mine, did get one. Great bike, but last weekend, we did a 46 mile ride. He was only using 20hp and rode conservatively and still sweated bullets that last 1/2 mile back to the trucks, as he had 1-3% left on the battery. Some of our rides are 50-60 miles, so the bike doesn't work for me. Maybe they can upgrade the battery in the future, but till then, I'll have to 'suffer' my TX300.....

[@Rwells44]

@@Burner-Adventure-Chronicles the stark will never replace a 300 but it sure is another fun tool to play on. Stop trying to replace your gas bike and accept their is a whole nother type of 2 wheel fun to be had, it’s a whole different thrill, skill and rush. The 300 is not a good adventure bike. My adventure bikes isn’t a good trials bike. My stark is not a 300. They’re all specific tools and fun in their own terrain

[@Burner-Adventure-Chronicles]

@@Rwells44 Oh, I get it....but...budget.

[@jmothers]

Sweet, what a playground!

[@BradVentureAZ]

HORRY SHEET !!! 🤯😍

[@Jlow67WV]

Awesome run! Fast AF!!!!!! Mad respect. You sure you didn't pre-run it??? FYI, I could not beat that time.....

[@mtneddie]

Not a big fan of doing it on the Stark Varg from a purely soulful (2-stroke loving) perspective , but as someone who's done FMOH a few times (to hell and back last time), I can say that was one helluva badass run!! Made the crux look easy. Well done, congrats!

[@extremesurron9886]

how tall are you??

[@SWTrailsAndWheels]

Has stock suspension been revalved for enduro purposes? If not is it speced soft, med, or hard and what is your weight? I have a sense you would kill it regardless of bike setup 😂!

[@Rwells44]

@@SWTrailsAndWheels I weigh 150lb and got a 175lb med spec Bike is stock other than tires and graphics

[@emanuelsilvapt]

What HP and Regen % do you like most for technical stuff? I like 30hp but about regen I still don’t know what I like most…

[@Chafa85]

Actually way sick

[@elih9588]

What does "new world record" mean?

[@Rwells44]

@@elih9588 the last 10 people to post videos over the last 10 years have all labeled a “new world record” through different social medias and Internet forums. When you can post a faster time, you can claim the for fun internet world record and you’ll get a tshirt sent to ya for beating it.

[@HHComedy]

You da man! That bike sounds clunky as hell. Just the way it sounds or is the ride heavy?

[@Rwells44]

Best built bike I’ve ever ridden. Even if it was a gas motor the chassis and engineering is impressive. Just heading the chain and all the noises the engine noise masks

[@JamesLindsay-n8r]

I thought the same thing, then I thought what Ryan’s response was about all the other noises on an ICE, then I thought, if I hit those rocks at the same speed as he was going on my 300 it would probably sound clunky too😂 Good thing we can all ride what we like at the pace we like.

[@Rwells44]

I love my 300 and ride it daily over the stark. But I sure like the stark too :) If I had 1 bike only it would be a 300

[@shaun8256]

Yea world record for distance on a full charge! Electric will never be efficient enough to out do gas power!

[@Rwells44]

No one is arguing that. But it sure is another fun bike to ride! 2 stroke, 4 stroke and e-bike. They’re all fun.

[@89HondaCR500R]

Electric dirtbike makes more horsepower why do they keep making fun of me? Gtfo with this electric trash

[@Rwells44]

No one is making fun, most are loving it along with their 2 strokes. Got a view out of you 🤘🏼
