Push your bike up a hill or use them for traction,i have done the latter on numerous occasions especially when they stop in stupid places.They never do it again.
I see Husqvarnas and KTMs; hear smokers and thumpers - proof that equality is achievable and we can all get along! Stunning area and trails - awesome filming and commentary as usual.
Of course Paul! I’ve not heard of a 2T vs 4T rivalry... if that’s true it’s the stupidest S*** I’ve ever heard of. The only powersport rivalry I can think of is the dirtbike vs atv rivalry. But, that’s understandable because quads are for non-helmet wearing inbreds.
some riders they just took a break in the middle of the trail or stopped right after crux spot without given exit to others ......absolutely lack of brain usage, well I GUES NOT EVERYDAY IS SUNDAY..... most important is you delivered awesome stuff, cheers V!
You should. However they changed it up a bit and now to stop in you have to stay there and maybe get a tour package? I’m not sure but definitely worth looking into
I recently shot one in super view which will be live tomorrow on the BikeBandit RUclips channel if you want to check it out and give me some feedback Problem with superview is that it makes everything look flat / small
@@EverySingleSunday in November of 2019 what go pro we're you using? hero 7 or ? (I also film POV Dirtbiking and have been playing with angles, FOV's etc etc.) I really really enjoy how you had it setup back then. Wondering if you were shooting on the 7 back then and then the 9 now? I have both the 7 and 9 blacks myself
Dude seriously you have the patience of Jobe. They're just all sitting in the trail multiple times but the creek crossing?? I'm f-ing yelling at people lol
Wow that's cool Jarvis u met . I met Mike Metzger up here 15 years ago on independence trail he was trail riding he had just purchased some land in Athol he said that was a cool experience really nice guy .
100% agree Jason, I'm a local and the main trails are terrible compared to 2019. The harder single track are still really good tho, less skilled riders are avoiding those lol.
two questions... They let you ride dirtbikes and ride horses on the same single track! Do you every see any? And, what sort of group lies down in the middle of the track for a rest? No one seems to get off the track?!? And, awesome riding btw.
They took a rest because it was early June and snow fall and tree fall had made the trail unpassable. Few riders went ahead to try and get thru but got turned around after cutting 3trees not much the rest of group could due but wait
Another great video. Question, I've seen a number of your videos talking about tires, particularly the rear tires, I see where you tried and reviewed the Tusk Recon and you definitely seem to love the Kenda tires but what about front tires? What are you currently running and what others have you tried and liked? I'm about to do my 1st tire change and for the rear I'm going to give the IRC VE33S a try 1st but front tires there just isn't anywhere near as many reviews out there. The Bridgestone M59 seems to get good reviews, that's a 80/100 size only. My stock Dunlop AT81 is 90/90 so the Bridgestone if I go that route will be narrower than I'm accustomed to, not sure how much I'll notice though . Any thoughts on a great front tire? Riding is mostly slow to moderate speed, terrain runs the full range although predominantly intermediate, no sand at all, occasional muddy sections through tighter forest trails with roots and some occasional water crossings. There is no dessert where I'm from nor mountains, mainly forested trails and fire/forest service roads. Bike is a KTM 300 XC-W TPI.
Hey Rod. Front tires are a personal thing for a rider, weight, style. I run the goldentyre 216 as in either a 90/90 or a 100/90. I like the fatty for hard enduro when there are tons of rocks but the 90/90 for most trail riding days. I run Thai tire everywhere and love it
Bahaha I love that last log crossing... The guy is is like f*ck he made that look easy!! Great video. I live in Montana and I really need to get over there to ride this.
He was fighting it so long. He turned around to watch me struggle which didn’t happen. I keep offering to help in the tech stuff when they are ready for some skills classes :)
In the Gold Creek area there's around 100 miles of ST and a typical loop from the lodge, including FS road transfer sections, is about 60 miles. The loops that go to and pass over Packsaddle Mountain are all expert only. The last trail in the video with all the riders are taking a rest in the middle of the trail is Packsaddle. Since they didn't show the upper part when the trail gets really difficult, my guess is they were early enough that it hadn't been cleared yet and the snow hadn't melted off the upper half so they just planted it. Early September you will be fine. After September 18th, over half the trails close for the year because of hunting season. You can get an overview of the area on the "Where to Ride" section of PANTRA's website (pantra.org/where-to-ride/gold-creek-independence-creek-trail-system/gold-creek-lodge/).
KTM kill the mountains bad ass keep them coming full support to you and what you Got going on maybe come try out sliver wood and hit the Malcolm Smith Trail out here in California we have some very grate riding out here
@@EverySingleSunday I saw the USA isde helmet and when I heard him tell you about the trail I knew it was Chilly. I’ve got to get together with him and do a Baja ride before I get too old to do it.
Kicking myself for not sticking with dirt bikes as a kid. Best beer in the world would come after a ride like that one. Ride like that would make even a Keystone Light taste good.
@@EverySingleSunday yes he is. And if you ever have any questions for him just message him on Instagram. I have frequent conversations with him. Mostly just questions I ask him and he responds.
I have road this trail a few times but its been about 10 years and Gold crick trail used to be nice i cant believe how torn up it is now from this video, see back about 10 or 15 years ago not many knew about it and everyone is riding it now and its torn to shit what a shame . Still is great riding dont get me wrong but used to be premium.
Betrayal definitely gets used quite a bit because there is one of the top motorcycle lodges right there. The guy from Gold Creek do a lot of trail maintenance and put a lot of time in into getting these trails open every year as well. But that lodge pulls riders from all around the world and yes, it does get used quite a bit. But at the same time, if the lodge was right there, these trails might not even get opened every year.
@@EverySingleSunday It sounded like you took a gulp! That was a big hole you fell in. As always really enjoy your content. Always having fun! Brappity Brap Brap Brap!
They filed bankruptcy last November. I got laid off and a lot of other people ended up without stuff. I think there’s a lawsuit or something going on but I’m not really sure.
He’s not that old. But most these guys don’t ride technical stuff all the time and picking a bike up over and over will wear you out fast. I do this stuff a few times a week and I’m 245 pounds of man. Rather just help them out and make sure everyone is having fun.
The scariest get-off I ever had happened when entered one of those wooden bridges...It was a little wet and bike came out from under me like I hit sheer ice, I went over the edge with the bike on top of me... Now I ride them like the biggest sissy pants in the world .... lol Awesome place, but what's with the group rest stops in the middle of the trails?? That's not good trail etiquette 😡
Seems like a lot of new riders in that group between the constant foot dabbing and the mid trail stopping. Also, I second your wooden bridge scary experience. Just this past summer I was in bear town state forest in Massachusetts. It was raining out but I still went for a solo ride. Everything was going great, even the first few wooden bridges were fine. Then I hit a wooden bridge and my bike completely slipped out from underneath me. I went forehead first onto a rock. My neck got sprained but luckily no damage. I got a bruise on my forehead through the helmet. I can’t imagine my condition without a helmet, thank god for them. I now go extremely slow over any and all wooden bridges. But sand is fine in the rain, so I still fly over that lol!
@@scottdrew6403 Maybe there's curse on those Beartown Forest bridges 👀 ... because that's where it happened to me.. The trail turns into those bridges and its hard to enter them straight on 😐 With my get-off, the front washed out immediately, I went over with the bike and felt my femur get pinched between it and the edge of the bike(I remember thinking; "there goes my leg") but it didn't break and me and my bike continued sliding down into the rocks and the stream.... Somehow, nothing serious happened... 👍 Newbs, or not someone should nicely explain blocking the trail, especially in difficult sections, is not cool....
@@painsrides Did I misinterpret your comment or were you actually riding at bear town forest when you hit the wooden bridge? If so, that is such a damn coincidence... but, I think I misinterpreted your comment and you simply meant all wooden bridges are cursed?
@@painsrides Beantown state forest lol? I still don't know if you're messing around or not. I hit a booby trap (stick sticking out into trail) at October Mountain sf in Mass last summer. I hope the same people aren't putting soap on the wooden bridges or something like that.
Doesn't look very secluded and definitely not close to pristine. Wouldn't pay the cost to lodge and ride there with so many better opportunities elsewhere. Northern Idaho👎
Ya. I’m not a huge fan of their new business plan myself. I liked the ski lodge approach of it being a fun to hang out place that was open to everyone to stop in. But I also get what they are trying to do with making it more exclusive.
Love the flowing stuff, but at 72 years old I'd have trouble keeping up that pace all day long. thanks for the memories of how it used to be.
Riding at 72, sounds like you’re doing it right! Thanks for checking out my trips and have fun
Great trails and spectacular scenery, and a few bikes on the trail you can use as traction! Looks like a fantastic place to ride... Ripper video!!
It definitely crossed my mind :)
Push your bike up a hill or use them for traction,i have done the latter on numerous occasions especially when they stop in stupid places.They never do it again.
Some of those scenes where you were flying between those trees reminded me of the speeder bikes scenes in Empire Strikes Back!👍😃

Wow that's cool Jarvis u met . I met Mike Metzger up here 15 years ago on independence trail he was trail riding he had just purchased some land in Athol he said that was a cool experience really nice guy .
I really hope they do some trail maintenance up there this year. There’s so many people riding there now, the trails are getting so thrashed.
They were building new stuff last year and working on existing stuff as well
100% agree Jason, I'm a local and the main trails are terrible compared to 2019. The harder single track are still really good tho, less skilled riders are avoiding those lol.
@EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY, where are you mounting your go pro? thanks. I really like the angle you have, thanks.
It’s on the chin of my helmet 👍

And, what sort of group lies down in the middle of the track for a rest? No one seems to get off the track?!?
And, awesome riding btw.
First and only time here ... never saw a horse in the few days. And I do t know why they laid down there... but I feel the same way
In my experience, it's common to see horses and mules on designated single track in Utah too.
They took a rest because it was early June and snow fall and tree fall had made the trail unpassable. Few riders went ahead to try and get thru but got turned around after cutting 3trees not much the rest of group could due but wait

Looks so awesome to go there
What month was this? September was very dry and smokey. It was still amazing.
Early season. The snow was still melting in so many trails
When did you film this? I'm looking out my window and there is 6 feet of snow on the ground ( West Central Mountains ID). GOOD STUFF!
At the start of summer. Top of the hill was still snowed in when we were there
3:25 Rooty section looked sick
There’s some epic stuff mixed in up there. Most the group didn’t want to hit that stuff
planning on visiting Idaho this September with the family. Now if I can only convince the wife to let me and our son hit some Idaho trails...
You should make her convince you to only ride one day
Independence Creek is always fun to take new riders across.
That was wild 😜
Nice!! planning a trip there this June. is there a link to get all trail maps?
I’m not sure. We just went and explored and asked the guys at gold creek lodge

Yes they do. The hills are no joke and the rivers are rivers :)
I'm 71 and I can put my 48 year old son through the paces on some of those trails. It should be the inverse.
Good video 👍👍👍

Definitely yes
how many miles of ST is there around gold creek, I live in GA and take my west coast trip early september. is that a good time to go?
