      Thanks, a few years ago I lost both parents as was diagnosed with a tumor on a bone in my lower leg. Those crushing events were the catalyst for a major shift in my life focus and I adopted a more healthy balance between work and play. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate those that follow along and always share these vids with the hope to inspire and entertain! Life’s short do what makes ya braaapy!

      Thanks for watching, it sure was a fun vid to make. And yea, when we rode IC in 2020 it was mega dusty and I struggled to find the good stuff as I didn’t have a decent map and did do any research prior. I only had an afternoon and it felt a bit forced.

    Great vid and enjoying your channel! Do you remember where those beautiful hills of yellow wild flowers were? West of Ketchum?

      Thanks a lot really appreciate ya watching and glad your enjoying the content. We sure do have a lot of fun doing it and always try to convey the fulfillment we get through the vids. There’s two big flower patches included in the vid. Yes, one being west of Ketchum in the Greenhorn trail system and the other high above Driggs in the Big Hole Mountains across from the Teton range. Ketchum is our all time favorite camp ride package (despite breaking my toe in three pieces back in 22). I absolutely light up like an eight year old when I encounter wild flowers. Ketchum Idaho, a ride in the high country!

      Aggressive map don't do no good when I ride like a weenie! Thanks for watchin, it sure was a lot of fun to make this one. I tried to include a bit more off the bike content in effort to relay what it's like to spend the summer as a moto dirt bag.

    Also what’s your top favorite area of Idaho to ride?

    • @mikecolesvids
      @mikecolesvids  Před 6 měsíci

      James that’s a tuff question to answer as I see Idaho holistically. So much more of the summer is spent off the bike than on. I have to make an effort to strike a balance with the wife and dog. I do have a favorite camp/ride package and that’s Ketchum. Amazing remote camping only 10 miles from a fun town and a variety of trails accessible right from camp. How about you, do you have a favorite? And here’s a look back at another ride like 100 yards from where we camp. In hindsight I should have ran this on day one not four cause I was feeling lazy and not ready to put in a shift. All I do is complain 😭

      @@mikecolesvids ya I get that. I usually leave the bike home and run rzr with wife when I camp. But I’m newish to riding and bored with Idaho city, Danskins, the desert etc. so I’m just branching out. I really enjoy warm lake area , it’s so green. I am going to do Stanley and McCall areas this year. Then the sky’s the limit!

    If that broken-down cabin you showed near the beginning of this video was on the opposite side of the highway and a couple of miles up the trail. Just a friendly FYI. It used to have a couple of people living in it. They were the last ones in it, before they were murdered. That individual is now on Idaho's Death Row. Nuff said...

      Idaho again yea via a sniff of CO & UT. We are adding two new hard targets - Silver Plunge and Salmon. Are you familiar with those two?

      @@mikecolesvids silver creek plunge will take you on some beautiful rides. If you do bitter creek and peace creek go down bitter creek and back up peace. IMHO there is a horrible climb coming up bitter. And you’ll be in for a suprise coming up peace but it’ll be better than the climb on Bitter.

    Have you ridden around Gainesville Florida? I know of a place you mite try there. My brother has a personal track.
    If interested, let me know.
    KTM team practice there in the winter time.

      Yea I’ve heard of some private tracks here in Central Florida where pros come train. Now’s a popular time with Supercross this weekend at the speedway. But if you’ve seen my MX vids you’ll see I have no business running anything other than our private old guy track. I just learned that discipline 4 years ago and jumping still doesn’t feel natural but thanks! Back on the 450 and the secret sand tire!
