Will an Abandoned 1980s MTD Mini Bike Survive a 10 Mile 10,000 ft Pass?

- čas přidán 25. 09. 2022
- We took a 1980s MTD mini bike that had been sitting for 2 years and attempted to take it on a difficult off road vehicle trail in the Rocky Mountains with Go Power Sports. This MTD mini bike was powered by a 3.5 horsepower Tecumseh engine, but thankfully we found a Tillotson bush, and were able to swap on a Tillotson 212cc engine. The power difference was huge! John and Charles were on Trailmaster Hurricanes, which were WAY more comfortable than the MTD. Unfortunately due to breakdowns, one of the bikes had to turn back.
Thanks for Watching!

This was a brutal episode, but still one of the best days ever on the trail!
did ike walk out of a time machine from 1996 with his chain wallet those glasses hairstyle and puka necklace. he still listens to greenday dookie 100% and its hilarious
Ok Ok I have to say it WHAT were you thinking then I thought they must of lost a bet BUT best of all was the look on Izicks look face laughted my Ba%%s off . Oh now Ill watch the rest of video
Ike with his shirt
@@Mrcrowley1967
IZICKS? LMFAO... its ISAAC you dish towel
Awesome episode guys. Keep em coming
Full size dirt bikes fly over all that stuff with ease, but I am impressed any mini bike can do it! Great riding, and a fun challenge, guys.
Looks like a lot of fun! That "Tillotson bush" skit gave me a good laugh. 🤣
its a shame that Charles had mechanical issues..looks like he was having a blast..those little boost cans do work for high elevation ..what a great trail ride with the boys from GPS..keep sendin it boys..poor Charles seems to have my luck..lol
Ikes side-burns, night at the roxburry haircut and belly shirt had me rolling so hard. I fucking love you guys. Please never change. 🤣
I wonder who gets Ike to dress that way. I wouldn't have the balls to do it, but he makes it work for the channel.
@@larrycarlston4044 That's definitely just who he is man.
@@DaroffApFire This is the first time I ever saw him dress like one of the retro Village People.
@@larrycarlston4044 He's had that shirt on a few times before with the riding gear, but it was riding up pretty high this day. haha
Gotta be the luckiest trip ever, a Tillotson bush and a Juggernaut tree all on the same mountain , that’s crazy , unheard of 😂lol🤙🏼
SO glad y'all added Charles to the gang. That dude is cool!
Man. I NEED oxygen now after watching this one. I've been "at altitude" before in Colorado. If you haven't, you have no idea how fast you get out of breath and exhausted. Brutal episode, to say the least. Kudo's for taking it on and getting through it successfully. One more check mark off the bucket list.
Thankfully I live at 8,700 feet so Im not affected.But when I go to sea level everything requires no effort
I was skiing at copperhead and brekenridge and partying in boulder and Denver and didn't really notice it.
I suspect I'd have a better time at it than I thought previously, but I know I'd have to stop often to bring my blood-oxygen back up kinda like Ike there. Did you know if you breathe shallow and rapid and then slowly raise the depth of each breath while maintaining the rapid cadence you can spike your blood-oxygen? It might not help that much at high altitude, but I heard you can do that at low altitudes while crouched for a couple dozen seconds until your nerves are tingling and then suddenly stand up to cause a blackout through something called Hypocapnia, the co2 level in the blood is so low it constricts brain blood vessels and so you black out until things normalize, its due to something called the Bohr Effect, with co2 too low the elevated oxygen affinity of hemoglobin means, ironically, that the oxygen doesn't make it to the brain cells, the higher the co2 the better it can ferry o2 to cells, too much means there is no o2 at all, too little co2 means all that o2 is useless, so you recover by basically not breathing out any co2 until the balance returns. Funny how that works XD
Why in the flying frig did I go on a tangent about oxygen highs when I started on high altitude stuff? Why, brain? y u do dis
@@Avetho damm how long did it take you to write that
@@high-octane-stunts86 Eh, I went back to re-read the part of a story I read it first from to find the terms used, then I went over a few different articles, I think a couple from PubMed and whatnot and a few Wikipedia ones on Hypocapnia, also called Hypocarbia, where it conveniently brought up the article on the Bohr Effect just as was brought up in-story by the agent in question, looked at hyperventilation and breathing techniques that I remember and use when I feel like it would help, and oxygen toxicity. I do this kind of thing worryingly often, just prowling and absorbing swaths of data for a comment only to forget most of it after a couple of hours XD
So, what, 20 minutes or so to research it, understand it and compile my comment? Hence my wtf at the end lol
So did Isaac’s shirt shrink due to the lack of oxygen? 😂
I can't stop laughing about this comment the further into the video I get...🤣
When they told him to "let it all hang out", he took it literally instead of figuratively.
@@justincase8239,🤣
Will Farrel and Ike are one and the same
Capital LOL😆
North Carolina boys achieve a full engine swap with just vice grips and a rock.
5:05
I had no idea there were both standard and metric adjustable wrenches! 🤣
how the MTDs tires held out is a miracle, the sidewall cracks were something else and that was before you even started
Ikes outfit needs to be the Carsandcameras official uniform. Awesome one guys, 40 minutes long and I watched it twice!
Add an Ike sports bra and glue on 70's sideburns to the merch store.
the rokon would have been a beast on this!
18:26 Charles has definitely had a few bong hits before I'd say!
You guys are awesome and this was great. I loved the funny joke about a Honda dirt bike having a hard time on that trail. ;) But for real it was awesome that you guys made it, way to persevere!
Charles was truly a decent sport about the bum chain issue. Have to say though y’all are so funny, just a good bunch of dudes.
At 3:11 Charles pulls off the joke of the day ... "two mufflers does not make dual exhaust"!
OMG I so love Charles being a part of y'all. Hehe, that boy is funny as h.ell.
A little cheesey, but I liked the trailside engine swap.😆
Great video. Ike sporting the crop top was peak alpha daddy vibes. Brutal trail conditions. Totally need a properly built set up to make that enjoyable. Glad you all made it through safe. Looking forward to mini mayhem.
Minibikes have their place, but not on that trail... Looks like it would be fun on a dirt bike tho, if you had some experience. Thanks for the vids! 😎
A chain glide will solve that problem
That was an epic mission fellas and a great vid 🤘🤘
What are the odds of them being able to find a right Tillotson tree just happened to have a 212 ripe for the picking what a huge coinkydink LOL
Man I gotta go to America, adventures like this are the stuff of dreams for me but they're hard to come by here in the tiny UK.
Could buy a gunnery parts Co Minibike and live the dream ;)
This reminds me of an anime I watched last year called Super Cub. In episode 5 one of the protagonists tries riding her Cub to the top of Mt. Fuji. It had been done before by a guy, but she wanted to be the first woman to do it. I got some of the same "Ganbare, you can do it!" vibes watching this. Thanks for the entertaining video. I wonder if I can grow one of those Tillotson bushes in my backyard? I suppose you need really iron rich soil for them. 😸
Super cub is such a great show
Ike is channeling is inner Gwen Stephani in this episode. Also, there's no such thing as a tree that creates an engine. That comes from being under immense pressure in the rock for millions of years before being exposed to the light when the rock eroded. Science!
Ike just lost his girlfriend. I wonder if his attire was part of the skit or is Ike showing a feminine side? Either way is cool with me as I had a good laugh watching this video.
I’d have to disagree John I could rip those trails up on a Honda xr 100 or 200 but yea those little mini bikes will beat you down on tough trails like that 👍🏻👍🏻 two thumbs up for a hella hard ride boys.🤙🏻
We all saw it, 👀 we all seen it to. Yes, issac almost died. Out of shape for sure, a GYM is calling all three of you guy's name. Love ya'll guys so much.
They maybe need to go to the gym but maybe an english for non english speakers class would do you well.
crushing bone is cool but crush a book my friend, jesus christ.
I love this!! Many of us drive JUNK and it's a challenge every day... that's the fun of it!!!
I assume you got down the hill okay, but looking at that tire on Ike's bike, I'd have been looking for a rubber tree. I think my old XR350 R would rock that trail with my feet on the pegs, but it's hard to see the actual grade on camera. Beautiful views no matter how you get there!
That's a bit more of Ike than I was prepared to see this early in the week.
great video i been roaming the woods off and on i have never found a till0son tree i laugh so hard that video was great do more of those types videos show how tough those bikes are great job
I just love your attitude. It fits my mindset perfectly. I passed my big bike test in the UK back in June 2015. Bought a Yamaha mt07. Then started buying a house in Corfu Greece. In January 2016 I had to get from the UK to Corfu to sign for the house. No direct flights at that time of year. So I decided to do my first big ride. My best mat who has had bikes since his teens, and rides Harley's etc, said "How are you going to do that? You've only had your big bike licence 6 months." I replied "Keep heading south." It worked. 3000 miles through Europe. Brilliant thing to do in my 50s. I'll be 60 this year. I'm starting to think I want to do the trip in reverse on something like a 50cc. Just to make it even more of an adventure. The Alps could be a problem though. It'll be fine!!!
Power to you guys.
I'd like to see Go Power Sports work with Lectron on a deal for carbs for the 212 and larger engines. With their carbs, we wouldn't need to worry about re-jetting for changes in elevation. If Lectron already has one that would work or designed one for these engines, I'd buy them.
Man you guys are awesome! I have had mini bikes my last was a wolf spyder such a cool mini had tons of doodle bugs still have one with a Honda 200sx motor in it but my brother messed it up. I'd do anything to have another mini again but kids , wife ,life lol. You guys keep Making awesome content, I'll keep watching. Much love!
Those 200sx Honda engines are fun and more than enough power for a min bike.
Hell Yah Brother. Can’t wait to see a collab with all of you guys over at the freedom factory. There’s a bunch of dirt and grass to be torn up as well as the track itself. It would be an amazing weekend event
Poor Ike he ain't used to the altitude 🤣🤣 I live in the high mountains of the Rocky Mountains it ain't no thing for me. Oh and that Boost oxygen works great! I keep a couple cans in my pack and bug out bags. We have the occasional low oxygen days and I use it a lot. Glad y'all had fun in the high country..
it sucks when you're not used to it, you inhale but it feels like you can't inhale enough haha. i wonder if there are breathing issues when you drop in altitude.
@@ducttapeandwrenches you can experience altitude sickness. It can happen when you go up or after you've come down. I've had it before and it sucks bad. And you're exactly right it sucks trying to breathe and it seems like you can't get enough oxygen. When we have storms moving through sometimes it'll push the oxygen further down the mountain to the valleys and all us up in higher altitude can't hardly breathe. It wakes me up in the middle of the night sometimes. Scary. The high mountains are no joke. It took me a couple years to fully adjust to it.
@@prophez23 I've had it only going up in elevation. When I went to the mountains in Tennessee I got it a little bit but I think most of my problem breathing was the humidity haha. That feeling must be awful to wake up to.
The Tillotson bush had me rolling.
Over hills,and through the dales...Go Powersports never fails!
I love you guys! Keep up the amazing work !
I had the MTD (branded “Columbia”) with the 4 HP Tecumsah + torque converter and chrome fenders on a red frame. Great fun. I had cracks in the same location - - twice re-welded. I loved it!
"Car's and Camera's" needs to Market the "You gotta get it Running First"! T-Shirt...
What a wild trail! Another great video thank you.
This must be a regular event with more of your u tube friends what a blast !
I broke a collar bone riding one about that size like a long time ago.🤕 Way too little for me. Tecumseh for the win!
Need it while we’re pushing the bike…hahaha nice one John
Great work guys, keep going, love ya.
It was a great episode, always love the content. Would love to meet you guys some day. Keep up the good work.
Man I was feeling for ya. I did something like this last summer on a Baja-Tilitson 212 Stg 1 NOT at 10,000 ft. It was REAL rough with NO rear suspension. Rocks and sand were my mortal enemy. Oh, and I was 62yrs old. Yall killed it! That was a FUN watch!!
I don't even know what "telegram" is lol I'm old.
@@bpagan7781 a scam
@@bpagan7781 it's a scam brother, don't fall for it...they're on every channel and none of them are the actual creators...
single letters on the t-shirt are more comfortable than a 26" circle with all the printing on top , because that style of t-shirt creates a hot and sweaty spot
If the MTD mini bike is your bike when I got back to the shop I'd put the original engine back on it to see how it did on a hot lap .
More Chuckles ! Thanx! & sure glad y'all read up on the local fauna, & edibles too, I suppose, lol! Was out there backpacking in '74, up to 14,000+, sure wish I could see more of it again... Guess ill just enjoy your yearly videos, Thanx !
Charles sounded happy to turn back.
I think that's an old school 5hp Briggs! Veddy Noice!
This is one of my Favorite episodes !! .. I've been to Colorado , I know the effects of the Elevation , Beautiful place , I can't believe you guys did it on Minibikes .. 🤣👍
This was great! Way to get'er done guys.
my dude ike never fails me with making me laugh . awesome job guys
Excellent video guy's....editing was very awesome....I'll bet u guys couldn't get out of bed the next day !!.... thanks for sharing !!
"I was trying to keep it slow because I didn't have my helmet on... but it just wanted to go" lol!!
The struggle was real back In the day!
Cool video sucks charles had chain and or sprocket issues seems like the feller misses out on all the fun stuff
Yeah that looks very cool some pretty good Hills Hills
C&C: your place for mountainside engine swaps!
Lol i love you guys show up unprepared hardly no tools but still manage to have some fun 😄
You guys are the GO-PROs
🎥😄🏁 🏍
Bro's, I grew up in the Sierras at around 5800 feet. I understand altitude. Hats off to flat landers who go high!
LOL best little story ever Eik. Loving it.
Something a little different. Great vid guys.
Thats the best thing ive seen ike wear
Ike with his midriff out like my 1999 prom date lol
Holy cow I fixed up one of those this spring. I put a Honda GX 160 and its a rocketship!
Big ol bag of jerky is essential for any offroad excursion. 😆👍
I love the video. Tillotson bush. Lmbo 😂. I’m going looking for that bush. Hear there’s a good size one in Keller. I want the electric start for my 200U. Thanks for making me laugh. You guys are the best!!
i think its the best you have ever done, the tilletson bush did it, i was laughing for many minutes : ) i love you guys. best greedings from denmark
You did well for mile 3/4 up, bet it was tough on you living at near sea level.
great stuff guys thanks
Yeah. It took me a month to adapt to the altitude when I lived in Colorado. Maybe longer. The headaches can be killer.
lol that’s so funny…..I had that same exact MTD mini bike but in red….loved that thing…..got 34mph out of it when I was a kid
Looks like the places I mountain bike.. Guys! get more exercise.. Great show.. the most fun you have is when you don;t think you are.
You've got to believe it, yer lookin right at it.
Great video guys
That Ollie character who stopped by at GPS had that same bike set up for dirt track. Tough bike.
Knowing that terrain is 10 times rougher in person than what it appears on a gopro, this ride had to be brutal. Good job guys!
Awesome video guys looks like a hell of a fun ride bummer Charles couldn’t make it to the top with use! Looks like you all had a great time though and that’s all that matters!!! Great video as always can’t wait for the next one! Oh I and please get poor Isaac a shirt that fits😳😵💫🤣🫡
Great video
Really enjoyed the fruits from the tillitson trees
Great video guys y'all had me laughing so hard!! Thanks I needed that!!
what kind of in-helmet communication do you guys use? Love the vid!
Man… you guys are crazy doing that on mini bikes. I don’t think I’d do it on the mb200! Bust out the Kawasaki 2 stroke next year 😂
takes me back; i wish i never gave away my Rupp Scrambler mini bike. that thing had front and rear suspension with a Tecumseh 5 hp torque converter to jack shaft to chain.
The problem I had with exerting myself at altitude was that I didn't realize how out of breath I was until it was too late. Then it is really hard to catch your breath once you are exhausted.
Omg is it hard to catch it breath again being that high. Bad idea. 😂
20seconds in. This looks action-packed!
Ike is like Will Ferrell does dumb and dumber. Lol, Love it!
Stomach hanging out , sunglasses, yes he has the look
I was going to say 'Dumb & Dumber' meets 'On Any Sunday'
GREAT VIDEO, STILL PISSED THE DRAG RAIL WAS SKIPPED AGAIN.
AMAZING!
Seeing Ike dressed in his San Francisco bondage festival gear is a sight I'll never be able to unsee
Good one guys
"I was trying to keep it slow because I didn't have my helmet on" lol!!
Did Ike get Nature's Tramp Stamp?
Lower back sunburn from his crop-top. Colorado sunshine takes no prisoners.
