Great ride. I felt really good on the bike this day. I need to get to the point like Scott, where I am consistent in my performance. I am trying.......
4 20 24--- 8 FOOT ROCK TIM AND BRENT
zhlédnutí 188Před 21 dnem
Rich took us to a beautiful area with rock structure. There is a rock face that is jumpable to those with the guts to hold the throttle down and point the bike at the rock. It has a ledge on top which makes it almost impossible to clean jump it. And it is extremely slick up there. I was impressed by Tim and Brent's performances. I try to learn from watching them - but I dont think I will be pra...
4 20 24 Single Track - Rich Scott Pat Tim Steve (KLX 300) Brent
zhlédnutí 378Před 21 dnem
Another awesome ride with Rich leading the way. Steve B showed up with his KLX 300 and a Dunlop D606 on the rear. He wanted to ride for an hour or so with us - had another obligation. I tried to stay up with him - he is a fast rider anyways, and he made that KLX act like a two stroke on the single track we rode with him. He really is an amazing rider - I always said my KTM 790 Adventure R will ...
Single track 4-15-24 Scott and I riding on tax day!
zhlédnutí 363Před měsícem
Scott has a new Beta 300 and he wanted to become more familiar with the clutch on it - so he wanted to ride and do some hill climbs today. I have ridden with him for close to two years now and he has moved my riding up several notches, by challenging me to ride stuff that I might otherwise not try. Today was such a day and we had a great ride.

Neat creek section with rocky, technical climb out of it at the end. I remembered the trail but I still didnt hit it hard enough to make it over the tree root that hung me up last time. Overall did better this time but still want to conquer it without stopping. Maybe next time....

Rich took us on another awesome ride. Montana, Brent, Kevin, Pat ,Mike B and myself showed up. Mike had bearing problems that took him out early - but we rode on and had a 6 plus hour ride for 45.3 miles. I am just doing highlights but there are lots of them.
3 14 24 Dual Sport Sycamore creek pt 4
zhlédnutí 231Před měsícem
I counted 22 crossings. I thought I recorded every one. Perhaps I missed some but anyway it was an awesome ride and the creek crossings threw in some spice on what would have been an average ride, had the water level not been up.

This video should be in 4k. I finally was able to figure out what I had done wrong - without knowing - and my videos were 480p. Now they should be 4k resolution. When you watch the video - click on the GEAR icon at the bottom right corner of the screen and it will probably say AUTOMATIC - if you click on that, it should display a choice of resolutions to view the video in - and hopefully it is ...

SORRY THAT THIS IS ONLY PLAYING AT 480P. I am working on resolving this issue but I am not a computer guy so I have to get help. I recorded most of the videos in 1080p and actually these were in 4k, but the playback is poor. I apologize and will work to fix it. Rich agreed to take us on an easy ride - since it was my first since knee surgery in Jan. and also Montana, his student in training - h...

Rich always delivers a great ride, and this was no exception. Warm weather in the middle of December and we had a good group of riders including Montana, Rich's student. At this point she had ridden about 4 weeks and she was amazing. I probably wont be able to keep up with her when I get back on the single track, after recovering from knee scope for torn cartilage, but I will be anxious to try....

Well done on those hill climbs Mike!!
Thanks man. I am trying to get better each ride - but some rides just dont gel like others. lol
Thanks for posting that! I've cleaned it before, and I've failed it horrible before, too. I think I needed a tad more speed on that run but, like you said, the very top ledge is crazy slick so I'm fine with how that one turned out. :)
Indeed. Impressive either way 👍
I use a garden pump up spray bottle with old burnt oil and diesel mix to coat under deck 😊
Your money ahead of you just replace all 3 pulleys and belt
Good video! Can't wait to see us hitting 8 foot rock. I'll clean that thing next time!
Thanks. I hope to have it up soon. I spent time learning how to zoom in and slo Mo at same time so I hope I can get it right on the 8 foot clip. That was a great jump and Tim did well also.
@@mikekesslerwv8908 I wouldn't say great since I didn't MAKE IT. heh heh I give myself a C+ for effort though. :) Hope to ride with you again soon. We had another awesome one yesterday too.
I can’t wait to ride that trail!
"promosm" 😻
I live in the eastern panhandle. I would love to hit those trails up. Thank you for the footage.
Glad you like the videos. I try to just get the highlights, but we ride several hours so there are quite a few of them...lol Do you have a lot of single track areas where you live?
I sure did pull a Randy!
I couldn’t leave that out. LOL 😂
Well done Mike!
Great time brother!!!
Good times in the woods!!
Indeed. Can’t wait for Spring
Well done Mike!
Good time , even though I got hurt! Tough stuff!!
That was scary.
what gearing are you running on your bike Mike?
I want to run 2nd - and I am getting more comfortable with it - but I will usually resort to first if its a really steep hill - but I know that if i can just keep the throttle up - that 2nd would do so much better. I am trying. lol lol lol
@@mikekesslerwv8908 I was just going to say that if you are running the stock 13/50 you could probably change that to a 13/52. it would allow you to use 2nd more and not have to go quite as fast to be able to use it without it bogging.
@@CLAYKREBS thanks. I have gone down one tooth on the front and that has made 2nd much more useable. I’m actually improving but as an old dog (71)who didn’t learn to ride dirt until I was 50 the learning curve is steep. lol. Thanks again.
Was this a Hatfield McCoy system? If so, which one?
Good job Mike!
Thanks. My 501 is amazing, if I can just hold on....lol
Good time! Challenging for sure!!
Yes it was!
Great ride!
It was!
Nice off road. Nice to meet you on CZcams. By the way say hello from Vietnam. We have the same hobby. If you have chance pls come to Vietnam to off road with us
Thanks. I am sure you have some awesome single track there. That would be a really neat adventure, to travel to Vietnam and ride. Maybe someday....
Man that was a great dual sport ride!! It’s been a great yr of riding!
No doubt!
So much fun brother! I like the challenge! Best times!
Yes it was!
Best of times and ride!!
You got that right!
Another cool Adventure!!
Awesome time!
You should shoot your stuff in 1080 it comes out way nicer! It's fun looking at our trails. :) AK shoots his in 4k and it's amazing. Takes a ton of card/battery but is worth it. I shoot 1080 myself.
I usually do use 1080 but somehow it got changed, but I am checking it each time now to make sure it is 1080. 4K sounds nice.
You almost went swimming
very close.....lol
Great time , those water crossings r adrenaline rushes!!!
Yes they are!
🤗 'Promo SM'
Another great video Mike!
Thanks much. I try to consolidate but when you ride for 7 hours there’s a lot of good stuff in there to post. 😂
Thanks. It was a great ride
The bears have probably already filed a noise and air pollution complaint with the WV DEP.
LOL LOL I expect something in the mail anytime soon. lol
Ami Nusrat Jahan .mousam Amr bare to okan.
The mayor persevered and climbed the hill. Great riding. Maybe someday I’ll be able to climb this hill.
Another great ride in the books ! Just look up awesome ride!! Nice video.
Awesome videos! Great times
Great time on 2 new bikes! Always a blast riding with you! I know you love that Ktm 300 power!!
Indeed. I cant wait to get it broke in so I can open it up...lol
These never get old to watch ! Hope you are doing well sir 👍
Thanks. We had a great time there. Getting ready to possibly try out Brushy Mountain down in NC. I hear it is a great place with some nice challenging single track. I hope to have more videos soon. Doing well - getting bike ready for spring riding. Have been building some new single track with help of good friends Scott and Kurt - others work so hard to get out. Take care.
Awesome!!!
Great time my friend! Can’t wait to go again!!!!
indeed!
Piece of cake!
Glad to see you and Geoff getting out there! You guys are always welcome to come ride in Colorado.
Scott , one of our riders is planning to ride in CO next year. Not sure where but I would love to tag along if I could work it out.
Great time!!!
Great time like we always have!!
Great time!
Looked like a seldom used trail. Autumn colors must be beautiful there.. Mike, do you ride in the winter months?
Yes it has not been ridden much at all. This area has so many trails that the regular riders know , that they seldom ride the old trails that were first ridden years ago. I typically don’t ride in winter unless it’s an unusually warm day. I just don’t do well in cold weather ☺️
Wow.. crazy! Tim might had been better off strapping the bike on his back and climbing it on foot..
LOL He is a big guy, probably could have done that too. It took some effort for sure.
Quite a spectacular get off !
Watching that video still makes me ache! 😀
I hear ya
thanks for taking us along with you Mike!
