The Hardest Trail - PackSaddle Mountain

[@jeremywatson9280]

Love it! Middle/ northern Idaho is full of trail like that. Rode a bunch of it this past weekend. It's so chunky, much steeper then it looks, and relentless, which makes it difficult to keep your momentum and balance making it even harder. Great times.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Oh ya, the place is awesome. So many epic trails that all go for what feels like an eternity

[@Thesepticsurgeon]

I go for the heartbeat per minute. PackSaddle makes me want to abuse my neighbor’s dog. But in the end we all win.

[@trevpelzer9818]

Good lord that looks brutal. Nice work! I used to think those trails were fun, but not so much anymore. I'll live vicariously through your videos. Thanks!

[@EverySingleSunday]

It was just a bad day to hit it. Way to hot and the end of a 2 months trip. I was spent. You sound much smarter than me

[@trevpelzer9818]

@@EverySingleSunday At least you guys made it. The heat is a killer for sure. I think I've become a fair weather rider.

[@BigEbikesports]

This was painful to watch lol. At 50 years old, I gave up all riding that involves "Hike'a bike". I feel for you bud, nothing kills the joy worse than heat, rocks and bike damage. Great video as always!

[@EverySingleSunday]

I love these days. Just wish I had a bit more energy going into it. This trail was so much fun

[@SunKing2010]

I’m 56 and stay in good shape to ride the technical stuff. Graham Jarvis is almost 50 as well. I’m just disappointed that stewardship of the trails and our sport is so impugned with this video. This leads to closures. Thanks for that.

[@Kevinjk68]

Travis said: "Get on your damn bike and ride." That's all you need to know. I've got this trail on my list now. While my riding buddies are claiming they are too old to do this stuff any more I only want to ride harder stuff every time I ride. This trail looks amazing. Thank for the video.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Gold Creek is a great time. They had a huge mix of trails and this is the hardest of them by far. Get your boys together and get in your bikes 👍

[@johncopetti1253]

You guys arev s uper commited,... and talented. Cheers and enjoy

[@EverySingleSunday]

Thanks 😊

[@dennissawyer8496]

I made it over this trail this weekend. I watched this video before I rode the trail and I gotta say its much more difficult and steep than this video indicates. Ive been riding for 51 one years now and i e never been that exhausted on a bike. Im 65 now and im really glad i made it with the help of our group but I won't be trying it again unless they do some serious trail maintenance.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, the GoPro effect is real. It definitely flattens everything out. Hopefully it wasn’t 100 degrees when you were out there :)

[@gregevans1502]

Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Too old, unskilled, and injury averse to take that trail on. However, it's interesting to watch somebody get through it. As a decidedly mediocre casual trail rider, I pick up riding techniques watching your vids. I appreciate it.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Awesome Greg. Love hearing messages like yours. I always try and mix in a tip or two if I can. Have a great weekend 🤘

[@gohuge10]

I was there. Kicked all of our asses. By far the hardest trail I’ve ever done. Struggle bus. So fun tho. Worth the effort. Travis you are the man. Thanks for all your help that whole trip. Was epic.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Who’s this? And ya, the entire trip was amazing and a solid group of guys for sure. Excited for the next adventure already

[@EverySingleSunday]

Thanks so much. This was a fun one even though I was feeling like crap that day

[@kingfishstacy]

And another great video bro. I've always struggled with weight for so many years. Look up the master cleanse it's no joke, by day 3 you have a clear head and lots of energy. It's the best way to start changing eating habits. Keep up the good work!!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, I’ve been up and down a few times. Hard to eat good in the road and plus I’m lazy about cooking Thanks for the info

[@motorheadcentral9874]

I got tired just watching you damn you fought hard for everything on that day

[@EverySingleSunday]

This was a bad day. I need to get back after it when I’m feeling strong. Would be so much fun

[@argomotoriders]

Damn dude. That looked brutal and good on ya for showing all of the gruesome details. When you start the day feeling zapped you know its going to be a long one but still, great ride man great ride.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, this was the end of a 4 week trip. I was destroyed coming in to this ride

[@argomotoriders]

@@EverySingleSunday I've done a 60 mile enduro and started out feeling like shit, the point that you bend the sprocket was to real lmao. Anyway i've seen you hammer trails that I wouldn't even attempt at the same speed, and this video looked a little more like me, and if for no other reason that was fun to watch :) Keep it up, always enjoy your uploads.

[@BrokenEnduro]

Dude that was gnarly! Gotta love those rides that don't need a tens place on the speedo.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Oh ya, keep it under 10 and it’ll a winner for sure

[@BlackBuzzzard]

I like your total honesty - the good bad and the ugly - it's all included. Those conditions (HEAT!) are brutal esp wearing any safety gear. I'd take my Sherco trials bike except the range is awful and I want a seat most of the time. Have the same rear sprocket U do, but have yet to do THAT to it!

[@EverySingleSunday]

No sense in trying to be a bad ass who’s better than everyone And I prefer my 300 over a trials bike for this stuff. The seat, comfort and ergonomics on a long day make it much better for me. The Trails bikes are fun but I don’t enjoy long days on them

[@i_knucklebump7212]

Well done. Looked like a killer trail.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Definitely a rad trail. Wish I was feeling that day but it was still rad 👍

[@hexhead5732]

Who needs a gym just buy a dirtbike to get a damn good workout that trail looks brutally fun

[@ZSharkPH]

That looks like a real tester for sure.. Hope to make it up there one day.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Gold Creek should be a destination for any Moro junkie. Good food and a cool place to stay right on the trails. It’s paradise

[@ThisisKevinG]

hahah the struggle was real!!! I love it! and I don't think that was a negative review of that sprocket... bending is far better then breaking

[@EverySingleSunday]

Thanks Kev. I feel the same way. For it to be that tweaked and still be able to be bent back and keep rocking. I’m a huge fan

[@CommieHunter7]

Just rode this on Saturday. For sure, it's not the most technical trail, but it's a ton of work due to the length and no easy spots to rest.

[@EverySingleSunday]

It’s a great time for sure. Hopefully that brutal heat wave is gone by now :)

This place is on my bucket list. MOAB for 11 days this coming October and Maybe Gold Creek Lodge next year for a week or so. Out of interest, what time of year was this filmed, just interested as you said it's 90 and I would like to try and avoid that lol. Hence me hitting MOAB Oct - Nov this year. Best to you mate, ride safe.

[@EverySingleSunday]

This was about 3 or 4 weeks ago. It’s the same time when Portland got the 117 degree record heat. I was here last year same time and it was 55. Just random bad luck

[@basementracer]

@@EverySingleSunday Ok well sorry to hear of your luck mate, I know we are in a big drought so I hope MOAB doesn't suffer from the same unseasonal heat in Oct. I am hoping for 50's there. Good to know it's usually 50's at this time in Idaho. Thanks for the feedback mate, stay safe.
