@@marianitosan9759 yeah, I really should mention the Pyrenees and the Caucuses. What other ones have you seen?

@@brianvaller6589 why yes there is. At the bottom of the crest there is a shell gas station. There on any given Sunday you will find an array of people and groups meeting up to go up the crest road. In addition to that, there is a coffee shop down the street called Cabra Coffee where you will find the same, groups of people hanging out, looking a bikes and getting ready to ride up the crest. Enjoy.

@@andreasschmidt3413 the WR 250 R is a fantastic bike for black bear Pass. The places is beautiful beyond words. It’s a bucket list ride. Enjoy. Not many people get to see what you’re going to see when you’re there.

@@andreasschmidt3413 I do, I have the 3 gallon IMS tank and the bike is also equipped with an EMF exhaust. The gearing is a little taller on my bike than stock. I’m not exactly sure, but I think I went to teeth smaller on the rear sprocket.

@@SasquaPlatypus I wish I could have came up with the name on the spot. But thanks for the reminder. A nice song for a nice ride.

@@othgmark1 agreed, I thought Imogene was harder too. But yes, those few hundred feet of step downs are something else. Hairy to put it lightly.

@@mark-lj5dc thanks Mark, I’m glad you liked it. I had a blast filming that.

@@hondacr250L thanks for watching. :-)

@@friedaspyder8485 I’m so lucky to have my Wendolyne. Luckier than I deserve, for sure. I hope one day you too can have your own version of my Wendolyne.

@@Sully8858 I think the only reason they say this is because beginners sometimes get in over their heads and go overboard. So to speak.

Dangerous as hell in a vehicle put on a motorcycle not much more dangerous than riding a motorcycle in general. In a vehicle if you fall over the edge you're in a rolling death cage

@@FiftiesForward I agree 100 % on that.

@@FiftiesForward the cars take forever to come down that section compared to the bikes. Most bikes take a few minutes to get through there. If a group of 5 or more jeeps show up, they may be there all afternoon.

@@sanchezsaturno I bet

@@dhbrantley thank you Brantley, I’m glad you liked it. Yeah the GSA is a big bike. You can totally do it on one of those but do it with a few friends. Don’t take that bike up there by yourself. I’d help you do it but I live in Santa Fe. So it’s not exactly a local ride for me.

@@dhbrantley it can and has been done on a really large adventure bike but the idea of getting thrown off your intended path will not be ok. Off your path to the left means a 200 foot plus vertical plunge to your death. To your right you are up against a cliff face. I have ridden on a Drz400 and a Husaberg fe650. I own a Gs1200 it might be doable for you but the entire area is much more fun a lighter more nimble motorcycle. Keep in mind that the video shows it dry. I have ridden down the steps when water was running down them as well. There a number of rides in the area that are enjoyable on something larger such as Animas Forks, Corkscrew Gulch, Cinnamon Pass, Engineer Pass, Imogene can be navigated as well. Even these have higher than normal risk involved. Pulling into Ouray one year we saw the rescue choppers take off before our ride. A tourist killed himself and his entire family on Imogene Pass. Ground clearance on a GS will definitely become an issue at times.

@@jeeperp3926 yeah it didn’t seem super dangerous to me either when I was done with it.. So I was a little perplexed too as to why so many websites and forums call it that. Maybe that’s just the fame it got over the years but who knows. The bottom line is that it’s super cool and it’s a must ride for any off-roader and adventure bikers out there.

@@sanchezsaturno You are very gracious in your replies. Me gustan mucho tus videos y tu perspectiva sobre la vida.

@@chriskneifl3290 I’m a hopeless romantic, an adventurer at heart and a pragmatic optimist having real conversations with people I share a common interest with. And I really am happy you enjoyed my videos. If you haven’t seen the Baja videos yet, you should. Lots of cool riding out there.

@@chriskneifl3290 ruclips.net/p/PLzOLtKmKBIML9cG6dJVKeJzvvGOt4WmeY&si=0Vpjnmnm1SuSIh3X Here is a link to those.

​@sanchezsaturno It's definitely the fame, it gets a ton of traffic. Schofield I think is technically the most dangerous, or at least has racked up the most deaths

@@elpatudo3670 thank you, I’m glad you liked it. I have a blast making these videos.

@@Porsche996driver thanks, I’m glad you like it. Yeah, the famous steps definitely feel like you could go over your handle bars.

@@alsnyder1660 oh yeah, cold plunges are really refreshing.

@@glittlehoss it’s a DJI Mavic Mini 2.

It really is that cool. It is seriously a bucket list ride.

It is frighteningly steep through there. It isn’t steep enough to go over you handle bars, but it certainly feels like it.

But it’s only scary at the step-downs. The rest of the ride is probably intermediate.

Yeah, dude, I agree. I noticed that just recently. One of the speakers on my computer station broke, and I lost only the audio where I was speaking from the helmet. I thought this was really weird. How is it that just my voice is gone. it turns out the microphone I’ve been using inside my helmet is a mono microphone. I have since changed out the microphone. But there’s nothing I can do about this video now. All the audio in that video is stereo. Except for the audio that’s coming from my helmet. That one only has one channel. I am annoyed too, believe me. That’s the best video I’ve ever made and audio is all fucked up.

Oh yeah, I’m sure it has changed since then, that’s almost half a century ago. It would have been cool to see how it was then. I’m totally jealous you saw how it was back then.

It is New Mexico, that place is called Lichen Falls and it’s in the middle of a very lush forest. A tributary of the Rio Grande flows through there, making the surrounding area as green as any other forest in much wetter environments.

Thank you Bob, I appreciate it. I had a blast shooting it. Such a good ride.

Yeah, those guys are fast!

Thanks Jim, I had a blast making that video. It’s definitely a ride everyone should do at least once. It’s super epic up there.

Omg you are right. This one survived just fine. Especially during launch.

We got do this some day. You in your 4x4 and me on the bike.

Oh yeah, he is good. He podiumed on the first enduro race he ever ran.

Which one is that, the Webe race in Gallup?

@@sanchezsaturno Yes sir last week of June

Yeah, that guy is proper fast

Yeah, it’s a bit of a pain to be on ice for that long. It seems like no matter how well insulated you get, the cold still finds a way to grab hold of you.

That was about midnight when I shot that. Midnight hiking up there in the snow and full moon is magical. Your eyes adjust so well that you basically can see as good as daylight.

It’s great to be able to ride off road on a bike you can also do interstate with.

Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Yeah, if you don’t help a fellow ride, you are not doing it right. That’s a bummer about your trails but I understand. Colorado gets a lot more snow than we do so it’s understandable a lot of places would be inaccessible at the moment. New Mexico is basically open all year round for off road riding and we have fantastic trail in the Santa Area, Albuquerque area, Pecos area. I live in Santa Fe so these trails are basically my back yard. If you make it out on this area let me know and I’ll give you a tour of our trails.

@@sanchezsaturno I would love a tour, fall will probably work better than spring this year as several projects need my time.

I’m glad you liked it. It was awesome shooting that video

It’s a super cool place.

Red Cone and Black Bear are similar in altitude. But Black Bear has those step downs. It’s not a long section, maybe 200 feet long. But it is very memorable. It is memorable enough not to remember the rest of the ride.

I'd love to head down that way in July. I'm in NorCo, so mostly hitting up the trail systems out this way, but looking to expand out to the south a bit.

lol, funny, I’m in Santa Fe, I’m not from this area either. But I do love it.

Omg you are so right. lol. About both the passes and the small cc.

Same can be said for Copper Canyon in Mexico which not for nothing, is four times the size of the Grand Canyon. Just wonderful adventure riding down south...

In South America, people rob people in the cartel and civilians cause they have to. In North America, they do it because we’re bored. We aren’t the same bro. 😂😂

The music. Argh.

I disagree. I wasn’t bored when I did it. We did it in a Yamaha Rhino. Great trail.

That’s the one! lol where were you when I was shooting this video. Lol. Thanks man.

@@sanchezsaturno I know southwest Colorado well. In my estimation the most scenic and interesting part if the state. I've ridden offroad in the area in the early '80s. Never Black Bear, but Stony Pass and Bristol Head above Creede. I'm looking at 80 summers this year so I no longer ride off road, although I do still throw a leg over my street bike. Great video presentation, very enjoyable.

Thanks Gary, I’m glad you liked it. It was a great time shooting that video.

Thanks man, I’m glad you liked it. I had a blast shooting it. And my girlfriend helped. Been wanting to go back and ride it again. Maybe in May or June when the snow clears. I’ll go back for a second attempt.

I’m glad you liked it. I had a blast shooting this video. I think I’m returning this coming summer to ride it again.

Very few.

Yeah, the jeep websites are a little dramatic. On four wheels I’d understand. Two, not really. I got it from the site I used to read about this pass. That site even had that viral video of a jeep tumbling down the pass. I think that’s why it came up first.

@@sanchezsaturno I saw that, it was crazy!! Modern dirt bikes can handle some crazy stuff, Romaniacs, etc. Still fun.

Yeah, they really are a whole different class of vehicle.

Thanks man I’m glad you liked it. I use the DJI Mavic Mini 2. Although I’ve been itching to upgrade to the mini 4 since it has follow me features. But the mini 2 shoots in 4K and there is nothing wrong with it so I’m still using it.

Very cool. 🤙🏽
