You know the group with the exotics were doing the same thing…”Oh wow, look at all the ATV’s!!”

[@kcatv9556]

Hey Tim, Haha you’re probably right they were saying look at those crazy ATV riders LOL Thanks for checking out the video, my friend!

[@shawnantel8238]

That’s my favorite type of trail riding. Lots of slow hill climbing and smooth trails. Looks like a perfect day for a ride, cool and sunny. Thanks for taking us along. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@kcatv9556]

Hey Shawn, Same here that some of our favorite type of riding. Beautiful fall weather awesome trails and some cool views down there in the creeks. Thanks for checking out the video, my friend!

Nothin' better than a KC vid with my morning coffee . . . well, except for maybe that one other thang😉 - - - Well I'll be a sum-bitch-pile-monkey-nuts; I've never heard of an R-Vision Boogie Box until now. - - - 2:16 - WOW, reminded me of the Barrett-Jackson auction I went to a couple weeks ago in Scottsdale! Now that was cool buddy! You would've shat yourself! Oh, and yeah, that was a nice view where those cars were parked - lol - - - 5:50 - Beauty trails! Reminds me of the Eskers in northern Sask - - - 10:34 - lol - yeah, that would've freaked me out too Ms.K.- - - 12:12 - I don't think you're allowed to have lunch without showing us what you had for lunch . . . are you? - lol - - - 28:35 - Nicely done! - - - Awesome video buddy! Those were some great trails!

[@kcatv9556]

Hey buddy, damn, you went to Barrett Jackson auction? Bet you seen some exotic cars there? Yeah, some beautiful trails in that area couple of steep spots though. Yes, I agree we need to start showing what’s going on for lunch. It just won’t be the same as the. Q crew launch segment. LOL Thanks for checking out the video buddy. Always appreciate it!

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Great video. I do recall the video when you all were riding this trail and the Mrs took the right side of the trail. The trail system through there looks awesome and the canyons look really deep. Almost like an elevation gain of a couple hundred feet. I hope all is well. Take care.

[@kcatv9556]

Hey buddy!, Yeah, there are some fun trails in that area of the Ozarks. Steep Hill climbs, and some beautiful creeks. Was fun riding with my cousin from Minnesota that weekend. Thanks for checking out the video buddy appreciate it as always!

[@ElevationATV]

Wow, wicked trails! Those are some nice technical trails. That cave was pretty wicked, also! My wife is a little cautious, too, and sometimes needs me to do a few of the sketchy spots for her. Better safe than sorry. What are you using for a phone cover? Awesome video, buddy! Thanks for sharing.

[@kcatv9556]

Hey buddy, yeah, that is some pretty cool trails and that area of the Ozarks. Phone case is called Nelson Rigg Yeah, easier just to take the wife’s quad up some of those really steep spots. Better than having her flip over having a bad day then LOL Thanks for checking out the video, my friend!

[@OHVLife]

Hey... what are you guys using for comms? Camera? How do you integrate the video with the intercoms?

[@kcatv9556]

We are using Sena 30K units for the comms. And filming with GoPro 7 black. We have an external mic hooked to the camera that picks up the conversations. Thanks for checking out another video. Much appreciated!

[@darrenwilson7688]

Getting the wheelers ready for Windrock. Some front brake work and minor maintenance on the Rancher and we should be good. The Foreman is good and should make it fine. Wish us luck and I like your videos too. 😊

[@kcatv9556]

Hey Darren, heck yeah have fun and stay safe there at Windrock! Sounds like you’ll have the machines ready to go. Thanks for checking out the video much appreciated, my friend!

[@dubiumthomas8779]

Mr. KC, another excellent video!! I was wondering about how you record the rides. Do you record in small chunks, or record the whole time and edit it down later?

[@kcatv9556]

We record in small chunks. Turn the camera off and on quite a lot during the day. Glad you enjoyed the video. We appreciate you checking them out!

[@rodneyfarwell3396]

All of those trails look familiar -- my favorite in the Mulberry area! Miss K did a great job going through that nasty rutted out shot where the front end went up on her last time. Won't ever forget that.

[@kcatv9556]

Hey Rod, yeah, I agree that some of the best trials in that area. All of the cool creeks and the fun technical hill climb. Thanks for checking out the video buddy and appreciate you dropping a comment!

[@voodoo6echo]

Hi. So at about 15min in, your Sena 30K says Mesh Intercom Disconnected, Bluetooth intercom connected. If you use your phone app, and delete ALL of the Bluetooth contacts, that’ll never happen again. We use the same radios, per your recommendation, and we experienced the same mesh intercom issues. I found an obscure forum where someone suggested deleting all BT contacts, and we haven’t had the issue since.

[@kcatv9556]

Hey there, thanks for the tip on the Sena’s I will have to try that out. When we were having the issue, the guy we was riding with connected his phone to his unit via Bluetooth and then that kicked us out and the wife and I were connected to each other Via Bluetooth. The wife and I are connected via Bluetooth so that’s what I assume I need to delete all Bluetooth pairing. Thanks for checking out the video and leaving the comment!

[@voodoo6echo]

So it’s fine to have your phone paired and connected to your Sena. It’s the Bluetooth contact list within the Senas, from Sena-to-Sena that causes the issue. The Senas have two methods to communicate, Mesh (which works great, and has better range, as well as Bluetooth (from Sena to Sena). It’s the latter that causes issues. My wife, my son, and myself experienced the same issue, where my son and myself would get close enough for Bluetooth, and then they’d disconnect from Mesh. When that occurred, my wife would be kicked from the network. Once I used the Sena app and deleted all Bluetooth contacts/pairings (just to other Senas), it all worked great. Thanks for putting in the effort and creating content that spans the gaps from when I don’t have time to ride myself, it helps stave off the ride-cravings. :)

[@kcatv9556]

Yup that’s what I gathered from your previous comment. The wife and I have our comms paired Bluetooth like you you and your son. Then when we were riding in the group we were using mash, but when the other guy connected his phone to his comm it kicked out, mash on us and went to Bluetooth. We appreciate you checking out our videos! We went riding last weekend so should have some fresh ride videos coming out in a week or so.

[@skipjoyce163]

How did you mount your Nelson-Riggs phone holder to the handle bars? The one I saw on Amazon was magnetic and mounts to a metal gas tank i actually made a gas can holder based on the one you made. Would love to come out and ride with you. Jealous from SW PA.

[@miillersoffroad]

Oh my, what a great video. I know exactly where you were at 🤣. We have to get back over that way man. Those hill climbs and creek rides are the best of both worlds. Hey great picture too! We love it man. Man that Rocky Hill climb out towards the end, so good!!! That was picture worthy. Man that trail looks so familiar but I'm having a problem remembering exactly where it's at. Hey what happened to the beater Polaris? No more storage box cover? 😜🤣. Great video guys. Loved every minute of it.

[@kcatv9556]

Hey buddy! Yeah that’s some of the funnest trails there in the Mulberry area. Fun hill climbs some nice creek crossings. The Polaris with the trunk lid missing was Kevin from Oklahoma. He did not make this trip. Yeah, that creek with the overhang goes up to the trail with the closed gate that you go around. I knew you would recognize that spot. Thanks for checking out the video buddy. Always appreciate it!

[@kcatv9556]

Hi Skip, I had an old hand guard that I used for the clamping bracket for the handlebars. Then I fabricated a plate out of some 26 gauge sheet metal and mounted to the hand guard mount for the magnetic case to stick to. I know that sounds like a lot but that was the only way I could get it up on my handlebars. I really like the Nelson Rigg case since it completely encloses the phone. Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@skipjoyce163]

I can certianly tell that you have a good mechanical backround. I will try to make anything work also. You must be retired to be able to ride as much as you do.

[@ArizonaKid]

wish we lived closer to eachother lol - if ever coming to Arizona let me know - OUTSTANDING VIDEO - God Bless

[@kcatv9556]

Hey buddy, that’s a deal we ever make it to Arizona I’ll give you a heads up we can do some riding together. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@russelljay4256]

Can you tell me, on what type of 2way bluetooth setup you use... I have a group people, and we are about to head to WV hatfield and McCoy trails, and I would like to be able to communicate like in your videos.. Can you share what your set up is?

[@kcatv9556]

Hi Russell, we are using the Sena 30K units from Sena.com We are using the mesh technology not Bluetooth. You can connect to more riders and it’s much more clear. Hope that helps you out have fun on your trip to HM Thanks for checking out the video!

[@GarlandDavis-x3h]

What are your coms systems . I’m looking for a way to communicate and connect several machines , without a phone involved . I live in an area with hardly any phone signal . TIA

[@kcatv9556]

We are using the Sena 30K units for communicators. No phone service or cell towers needed. They connect toeach other not with a phone. Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@river_keith]

Awesome content. How often do you ride in Colorado? If I went out there alone, would it be easy to ride with others from Holts or other similar camps? I don't like to ride new places alone. Thanks

[@kcatv9556]

Hi Keith, we don’t ride in Colorado very often. You might be able to find somebody to ride with if you go out there alone, but I wouldn’t count on it. Some folks may not want someone new riding with them that they are unfamiliar with. Thanks for checking out the video. Much appreciated!

[@McHmMav]

Awesome looking trails. What are you guys running for intercoms? We have some but can only get 3 riders on open mic at a time, just curious

[@kcatv9556]

We are using the Sena 30K units. Using the mash system, you can have around 12 riders connected, I believe? Thanks for checking out the video. Much appreciated!!

[@daronsneedmusic]

Hello. I want to ride with you guys too! How can I get in touch..I am new and have several questions. :)

Hi Daron we appreciate you checking out the video!

[@kractass]

Wow! It seems like there's endless trails there in the Ozarks. And they're all nice too. Thanks for posting buddy!!

[@kcatv9556]

Hey buddy, yeah, for sure there is a lot of trails in that part of the Ozarks. We love the ones that go down through the creeks, always some cool views. Although they are generally rough down by the creeks, LOL Thanks for checking out the video. Appreciate it!

[@Bennett-xo6iu]

Love your videos keep them coming.. I swear I need to make the trip down to ride with you guys. It be a good time

Love watching you vids, thanks. I am planning a trip in june. What gps do you use. Never been there and no guide so i will need all the help i can get. Lol.

[@kcatv9556]

Hey Carl, we are using the Avenza app for our GPS. You can download trail maps from different areas. Hope that helps you out. Have fun on your trip. Be safe. Thanks for checking out the video. Much appreciated!

Thanks. Could be interesting. 2 sport 2wd atvs with 3 4x4s. My guess is I will need towed a lot.

Doing 130 miles in 2 days would hurt my thumb . Do you do anything special to prevent sore thumbs?

[@kcatv9556]

Hey William, don’t do anything special for a sore thumb. Eventually it goes away and you don’t really notice it. Really the only time you do notice it is when you’re cruising for a long period of time holding the throttle steady. Thanks for checking out the video much appreciated!

[@BryanFowler-e8p]

Hey guys! Love the videos. Me and my wife live on the West Coast of Florida and we do most of our riding in the Ocala National Forest. This coming July we’re heading to the Hatfield McCoy Trail System with a small group of friends. We’ve all watched most of your videos and have started setting our rigs up like yours. I did add a thumb throttle extension which does help. Again, great videos. We’ll eventually make it to your neck of the woods. Happy Trails!

[@kcatv9556]

@@BryanFowler-e8p hi Byron, we appreciate y’all checking out the videos! Yeah, a thumb throttle extension may make it more comfortable for a long ride days.

Just want to know who makes the cell phone assembly, is it a wireless charger? And the phone cover, that’s a great idea, I was looking back in your videos but I cannot find one on how you mounted it

[@kcatv9556]

Hey Kenny, the phone case is called Nelson Rigg It does not have a charger or anything, It just keeps phone protected in the case. Yeah I haven’t done a video on how I mounted it. I’ve had some other folks ask I’ll do a video on that soon. We are heading out on a trip next weekend so hopefully get some fresh videos out soon as well. Thanks for checking out the video. Much appreciated!
