If there was ever a hard enduro challenge, this was it! When you ride your bike down the side of a mountain and you can't ride back up, there's only on way to go and that's down. Without knowing if we could ride out, we headed down one of the steepest hills I've ever taken my bike.

A lot of people really don’t understand the GoPro effect, but if something looks semi steep on GoPro you can be sure it’s insanely steep in real life. Good job riding that! 🤙
applies to any camera really
@@FOXeye95 Sure, and the smaller the sensor the larger the effect, right?
@@FOXeye95you’re missing the point
I thought it was the other way around, gopro makes it look more steep?
@@_keerp Sadly not. 😅
I love it when my friends shout back up the hill, “It’s not that bad”. It’s always that bad. 😂
They see it like it’s go pro steep, we see it like it’s real life steep. Lol
We're all cut from the same cloth when someone ask why we do this we already know they wouldn't understand even if we told them lol I'm loving the videos and I'm taking every turn with you from the great smokey mountains Tennessee.
My gawd, that road had to be the most welcoming sight to see after that insane hill.
That is the most insane ride into the unknown I have ever seen. My hat is off to you! Thanks for making this video.
Love the look of this terrain on this vid, I know it's the same place but different conditions make it look so cosy and fun
nice job man I,v been watching your vids for 2 year now you have inspire me to keep going with enduro🙂
"But at least it's not cold, cause you know when it cold outside, when you go outside, and it's cold." Couldn't have said it better myself. 😂
Such an entertaining video, thank you for taking the time to record. These videos get me thru rebuild season in the US where it’s basically unridable on the east coast 🤙🤙🤙
Ralph better come out with a bloopers reel. Great vid, you should include the banter more often!
your far from a bad rider, all good riders obviously some better then others and the laugh between the lads is always 10/10
That’s what it’s all about. Having a good time
@@MidWestMX 100% mate look forward to more 🫡
I love your videos and thanks to you you inspired me to ride an enduro and cross motorcycle
That was NUTS!!! It even looked steep in the video. I can only imagine being there!
man what a crazy one. the rain rides up there always make me happy to watch. ☺️
Oh man this really shows what type 2 fun is like with dirtbiking! It can suck in the moment but afterwards it is like... man that was fun! Great vid
Those woods are so nice ! I’d love to ride something like that. Our bush here has so much undergrowth it’s nearly impenetrable.
What a hill! That was so entertaining to watch and looked like a great adventure
Bro i take my hat off to you atleast you go for everything respect man!
Love your vids man
I love these videos, these type are so funny hahaha
I really can’t remember, when I have laughed as much. Possibly one of your most memorable rides, for me anyway. Well done for finding your way out of hell.
Non enduro riders don’t understand the feeling of relief and satisfaction after being getting out of a hard/frustrating situation no matter what it’s still always fun looking back tho
Had a deal like that in the pacific northwest, bush whacking the whole way out, part of me wanted to just leave the bike it was so bad, at least you kept your spirts up and I salute you for being able to, I just cussed the whole time.
Just started riding recently after finally being able to get a bike (still can't afford one, way too broke but my cousin bought a new one, and in his words "if I sold it the money would last a week, this way I make a family member happy and get a new riding buddy") I'm so addicted, and after riding mtb for years on a cheap bike, it made it a lot easier to start out since I had the basics of movement down Absolutely love your channel, you were a big part of my inspiration and the reason I knew the exact type of riding I wanted, not motocross, not supercross but enduro (although I've thrown in some trials skills as well)
Love the north face beanie! Wearing the same one in grey while i watch this 😅
Fam, as an enduro rider, riding in rain at Stradbroke Island, its ALL SAND, rain, is so lit!!! Love the content, lets gooo
You inspired me to try this and now im interested in it
I love that type of exploratory riding we can only do that right before and during hunting season assuming you're hunting
Those trees always get me, all those spikes of death just sticking out of them, I couldn't do it.
I was thinking that in all these "Woods" shots, there's so many places to be impaled.
the branches on these trees that dense are so weak they will snap if you walk into them most of the time , but your point is still very valid 👋🚲
Forest is so dense**
i really enjoyed this one, i bet it was so much fun
You inspired me to start trying Enduro lol and I absolutely love it, I was kinda timid with my riding but when I found you a couple of years ago and seeing you improve over the years and get more comfortable it just inspired me so much lol
Makes me happy to read things like this. Glad you started riding 🤟
Bro when you saw all that light that was heaven my guy
Woah that hill is so steep!! And the spikey trees 😮
Thats a cool location and looks like fun! Love it! 😁💪
Great riding! That looked super steep through the gopro, so it had to be virtual straight up and down :)
I miss this type of enduro, I had to stop because of money issues and recently purchased a DR650 for adventure riding. Miss being able to hop around haha
Yous fellas are nuts!!
Dude these places your ride are literally fairy lands lmao it’s beautiful!
Congratulations! And that wasn't that steep.. Nooooo! Hahaha!😆 You handled that well..
Dam bro! 😅 that's some gnarly terrain.
“I wish i was good!” 😂😂😂
Enduro sure can be frightening. Worst part being that you normally trespass, and that calling for help is a last resort. Fun, but horrifying sometimes
You're lucky to have nice places to ride and riding buddies
That looks like incredible fun.
god damn this looks so much fun!
Thats insanley f****ing steeeeeeeep ! well done
Great video my friends!!
That was ridiculous! I could only imagine what it was like.
Ngl you are my most favorite youtuber bro keep it up🙌
Appreciate it man
Just subbed, I'm already hooked!
After watching you going through this I feel like I want to see the scene of you entering your home safe and sound hahaha
"we're like in an enchanted forest" ye time to plow with your motorbike. job well done.
Amazing you are not finding fences and landowners with guns haha.
awesome riding
I can’t believe you ride through those dead branches with no goggles. Living in the PNW we have a lot those as well, every time I go mtn biking I fear getting one in my eye. On one ride I had just climbed a hill and at the top I stopped and leaned against a tree so I didn’t have to unclip, my buddy was climbing and stopped next to me but couldn’t unclip, so he fell over onto me and I couldn’t hold both of our weight so we fell towards the tree and one of those branches was coming towards my right eye. I was watching the stick that was going to put my eye out, but luckily when the stick poked me in the inner eye socket the stick went upward instead of down into the eyes. I rode away with a 2” scratch, could’ve really sucked
Enjoyed your movie so much
Love your vids love how you talk to the viewers not may people do that😊
Everyone with their nice new bikes and here I am running single track on my 2004 YZ125 heheh.
FYI, there is this gadget you may want to try, the goggles glass with vent holes, it has quite good reviews.
I can never quite decide if I love riding my Enduro bike or if I find it so terrifying I should just give up 😂
Now I remember why I got rid of the XR and got back into mountain biking. Far cheaper and more fun.
I love your videos. Your commentary is funny as F#@K!!🤣
I always wonder how people managed to plant pines on some of these hills.
At a quid a tree, when you still have a few hundred saplings to go and you’ve run out of flat stuff… ;)
He probably uses a beta 😂
Apparently they use pigeons with hydration packs
@@corinohara9766 whats wrong with a beta
I wish I could ride with my friends and stuff
Never ever ride behind a dirt bike without goggles on! Knew somebody that went blind for that exact reason, thought it was cool and now he’s blind!
I don’t know how you guys ride in that rainy, soppy weather you guys always have over there. And I also don’t see the fun in riding in between all those goddamned trees as 2mph…..but to each their own. Yet another reason I’m so lucky to live in the states. My guns, bacon and sunny warm summers.
You have to make the most of what you got and enjoy every minute
@@MidWestMX you have amazing content wherever you ride. Keep it up!
What camera are you rocking because it's crisper than a whisper 😂 might get one
so great !!!!!!!
what cleaning products do you use to clean your bike ?
Mate , time to take off the training wheels and let Marvis do the talking. Kidding lols come back to SA soon.
Love from Nepal🎉❤
If that is the type of riding you do frequently, get aluminum hand guards so you don't lose a lever and cut the bars to narrow the width. Aluminum Radiator guards should be another precaution to keep a branch from going through the radiator.
You are a lot better rider than I wow.
This looks like some shit me and my buddies would get into like “where the fuck are we?!”🤣😭 bad ass skills for yall to ride through all that
where are these places? the nature looks beatiful
WTF?! This is hilarious, great attitude!
Cracking video
So cool 😮
That was crazy my heart rate would be like thro the roof
Awesome, where is this? In the UK I find it difficult to find places we are allowed to ride off road :(
This looks a great place to ride! Apologies of you've answered this over and over, but where this filmed?
how do you clean your bike after that?
Awesome video
Omg this video gave me so much anxiety, i would have been off like the ither guy
You're hilarious 😂
Wicked vid! Love the terrain. What are you guys riding? What is your height and weight? I am 6'2, 210lbs and finding it hard to get a 250 that fits and doesn't have soft suspension for my weight
Always click up in the second gear!
wow it looks steep even on camera, must've been crazy in reality 😅
where did your friend get the green and black Husky graphics
I’ll admit, the way you speak sounds like Jonathan from the Mummy, haha!
wow you know it is steep when you can see it on go pro :D mate if you roll down a hill with no engine, just use the clutch as brake :) you got way more controll over the "brake" nice video :)
I wish we had such forests and rain here in Israel. I'm so jealous, protect your nature, for some it's not for granted.
Jacket not waterproof😱🌊
Homie got guts🔥🫂
very entertaining i say!
11:47 Shit, even on gopro this looks scary steep. Mad lads! 😅
Where is this? Is it legal there to ride Enduro? Here in Switzerland it is illegal sadly :(
I don't enjoy riding down steep hills where trees are very close. Be grateful that you were on 2 strokes & not a gutless 4 stroke that is the blessing. Nice video.
Also what would you recommend for a first enduro bike Ktm 125exc or a 150exc I’m 5ft 6 and weigh 9st10
You mean over the edge is death😂❤
i wish i could to this.. sadly the place i live in has outlawed all motorized vehicles driving through forests
