After watching parts of your video, you would have no trouble on the back way Crown King. Just my opinion.

Looks fun . Im looking for a way to Prescott from near Phoenix. I want to get my DR 650 up to my new place in ash fork using back roads .

Maybe in a flat dessert, lol Try single tracking on hills. You won't last 2 hours on that thing.

2024 model looks WAY BETTER than 2025 one.

Best DRZ rider I’ve ever seen 😉

What gearing are you running on your DRZ? Up until this past year (2024 riding season) I was running 14/47, which was perfect for technical terrain. I switch back to stock (15/44) since I primarly do dirt roads on my DRZ now, and very little trail riding.

I'm picking up a 2025 DR-Z4S. I'll have to try that route.

Great video! Your DRZ handled those rocks like a champ! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

👍👍

Coming from Colorado to Prescott January 19. Will this be rideable (snow) and is there a map kiosk on site to look at/take a photo of?

Nice 😂

Alright, kid, let me tell you something: that hill ain’t just a pile of dirt-it’s a challenge, and it’s calling your name. I’ve been there, staring down a climb that looks bigger than my guts, but here’s the truth: you’ve got what it takes. You just need to believe it. -The Bike is Built for This That machine under you? It’s got the power, the torque, and the grip to eat that hill for breakfast. You don’t need to wonder if it can do it; you just need to make it happen. -You’ve Got More Skills Than You Think I’ve been watching you, and you’re no rookie. You’ve got the basics, and this hill? It’s just another chance to sharpen ‘em. Trust what you’ve already learned and build on it. -What’s the Worst That Could Happen? You stall out? You slide back a bit? So what? That’s dirt biking, kid. You fall, you get back up, and next time you crush it. But if you never try, you’re just letting that hill win without a fight. Here is what i do. Approach with confidence, Get a good run-up, pick your line, and go in knowing you’ve got this. Confidence makes all the difference. Let the bike move beneath you. Adjust as you go, and don’t panic if it gets a little bumpy. That’s part of the ride. Don’t get stuck staring at the ground or the ruts. Keep your eyes on where you want to be-the crest of that hill. That’s your goal. Every great rider started by tackling their first big hill. You’ve got the guts and the gear-now you just need to take the leap. Get up there and make that climb yours. And when you’re sittin’ at the top looking down, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

Ah kid, you're givin it a go, and I respect that, but lemme tell ya something: there’s a finesse to this game you’re missin’ it. Sit tight and listen up-this ain’t my first rodeo. -Body Position is King You’re sittin’ too much, kid. Get up on those pegs! Keep your weight slightly forward, knees loose, and elbows up. That bike's gotta feel like an extension of you, not like you're fightin' it. -Eyes on the Prize Don’t stare at your front tire, boy! Look where you want to go. Your body follows your eyes, and your bike follows your body. -Throttle Control You’re jerkin’ that throttle like it owes you money. Smooth it out. Feather it when you’re climbing or maneuvering tight spots. Control’s the name of the game, not brute force. -Momentum is Your Friend Don’t stop when you hit tough spots. Roll through. Use that engine’s torque to your advantage. Stopping mid-trail is how you dig yourself into a rut-literally. -Clutch and Throttle Harmony Kid, you're just yankin' on those bars. That ain't a wheelie; that's a tantrum. Pop the clutch smooth and give it just enough throttle to bring the front end up gently. -Balance Point is Key The bike's got a sweet spot where gravity and power meet. Learn it. Start low and get a feel for how far you can go without over-cooking it. -Rear Brake is Your Lifeline That back brake ain't just decoration. Tap it if you’re going too far back-it’ll save your hide. Get used to the motion while practicing. -Commit to the Wheelie Half-measures will land you on your butt or stuck in the dirt. Once you pop it, find your rhythm and hold it steady. Now, take all that, chew on it a bit, and try again. And remember, the bike don’t make the rider; the rider makes the bike. Go make me proud, kid.

That is how you loop it not the gas too much or else you’re gonna have a painful trip to the hospital

Was the radiator hose the infamous KTM hose where the bolt rubs through it? We've fixed a few of those trail side.

I know that spot been there a few times. I am close by.

Now this looks like some fun single track. I need to go out in that area and find this. 🤙

Go get a bike dude, I’m learning and I have awesome teachers to ride with. I do these videos not for the views but to see my improvement over time. Go back to my video called Christmas Eve Ride.. exactly 1 year ago. I think I’ve improved quite a bit. I didn’t start riding dirt bikes until just a few years ago and started out going maybe once a month. Now im addicted to it and love riding. Hope to finish top tier C-class this year and move up to B-class next year. Always learning.

Tap the rear brake(adjust it tight ) as you pull in the clutch to bring the front end down. I rode at lower RPMs than you do, it always sounds like you need to upshift. I can wheelie in the first four gears and upshift to keep the front end up if the bike isn't a dog, by feathering the clutch. well, at least I used to. Your videos make me wish I had a dirt bike. Climbing hills, try not to let off it and downshift quickly before any rpm bogging. Like sand, when you let off it's like quicksand is sucking your bike to a stop. I was never really fast but I liked riding wheelies, even up hills. Those downhills, I went from first gear brake locking technique to up shifting and jumping my bike off any little ledge/bump like a downhill skier as time and skills got better. It's mostly a psychological thing. Just trying to give you some tips. That Enduro thing is new, years ago it was ADRA desert racing or motocross. With my dad it was TT racing also at Manzanita Speedway many many years ago. sorry to ramble.

go faster!

I'm between the DRZ400 and a WR250R for my first dual sport... can't make up my mind!

Better than the gasgas?

This looks like a blast!

Fun ride! Can't wait to get out and explore again

Looks like fun. Instead of gassing it to bring the front end up, slip the clutch a bit so you can loft the front end any time you want, just take it easy to learn that sweet spot.

Epicness

Are there any groups I can join to link up with and ride?

I know that boat! Ha Ever up there in the morning vs evening?

Really nice bike!

I've only been to mile markers once. Didn't see all this flat land. That would have been way better for my 12 year old. Where we went was all hills and to difficult for him. I'm gonna have to explore more.

Epic ride

Great place to ride!!!

Hey I’d love to link up and ride with you n your groups… Do you have a FB or instagram page??

Wow, this is right behind my house!

must be great to have a desert to just wander round - thanks man

New subscriber here. It's always good to find another DRZ channel. I've had a 2002 DRZ S since 2006. It has a tad over 21000 miles on it now. I'm planning on buying a new DR-Z4S as soon as they show up at my local dealer.

Slow rider

arent you slow and heavy????😏

@suzukiGlobal_official Get this guy the new DRZ400 to review!

Dizzer looks good in black!!

It’s a good day when DesertDRZ posts a new video!

2016 Drz-400 for $4k or a 2017 EXC-F 500 for $5k? What should I do!

Thoughts on the new drz?

Always good stuff out there, either side of the road.

You ride like you're on a four-stroke, with such low RPMs. I feel sorry for your bike's clutch. I don't stop on hills I gas on it. You made and that's what counts.
