I think you grew up in the best time for dirt bikes. Such vast developments in the bike, big name legends of the sport, and tons of areas that were open to ride. My dad tells me about it all the time. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, where I think bike advancements weren't as substantial, and SX became a wild party scene.
@@americandirtrider7662 I live in AZ now and ride a lot with guys from a local club in Prescott, and it's great because most of them are transplants from So.Cal. and we all grew up riding Red Rock.
@@Craiglife777 My dad lives in Chino Valley, just north of Prescott. He moved out there a couple years ago, and same story. Lots of guys who made the escape from California. I wonder if you've come across them on the trail. They've taken me to the Alto Pit area, and a trail called KTM trail. Can't remember the name of that riding area. It's awesome though. If you see a group with two 2021 Beta 300 Race Editions, and two Sherco 300s, that's probably them! Haha
@@Craiglife777 I'll ask him if he has ridden with that group. I'm hoping to get out there in the next month or two. If we are able to make it happen, I'll let you know 👍
Worked most of my career in the TV industry and didn't realize how much dialogue is needed to fill 20min. Great job on your first narration. I can't chew gum and walk, so for sure won't listen to music, narrate, and oh yeah...tackle technical terrain all at the same time. The licking a dead cat was a gem and liked the Beta and mod reviews you were doing, so perhaps that's a topic for a future vid. Thanks!
Oh that's cool, I didn't know you worked in film and TV. Something I'd like to chat with you about on the next ride. Man, you aren't kidding though. Editing these videos in general is so much more time consuming than I ever would have expected. And sadly, there is so much good footage that just can't make it in for time's sake. I think I need to plan topics to talk about ahead of time, so it flows a little better. Mod reviews is a good one, and pretty easy to talk about.
Thank you, I appreciate it!! I'd seen Collin's videos on Graduation Hill and I really wanted to try it. As usual, the camera doesn't give it the credit it deserves as a difficult obstacle. It really is a balance of keeping the bike moving, and keeping the front end on the ground, haha.
Licking a Dead Cat...that brought up an image I unfortunately can't get out of my head!! I forgot how cold it was that morning, I was having a hard time talking too. I really want to go back and ride up that Ridge Trail, that will be one looong hillclimb.
I can’t ride that fast without talking to myself. Keep up the cool videos. We will get you some great content on Sunday. The new section is pretty fun. Lots of hill climbs and descents.
Thanks man, I really appreciate that! It's hard to make a video that I would think people will find interesting. But I think that's the beauty of our sport. We enjoy watching riding in general and seeing the trails. I can't wait till Sunday! Getting my camera charged now.
"I licked the dead cat and immediately regretted it." Brent 2020 You were flying down that hill! I don't talk at all when I have music playing and I sing to myself when I don't. Hahaha!
Hahaha! I really think my downhill mtb helped with my downhill dirtbike speed. It made me really enjoy it much more. I think we need to hear you sing in your videos 😄
I'm actually thinking of putting together a long ride in all the areas Collin and I are familiar with, and bringing you guys along. Let's throw the idea around next time we're all together.
Hahaha! I think youtube hasn't seen so much attention before. It's interesting to see how many people pumped out videos over the passed couple weeks. Guess people have some spare time to edit :/
I grew up out there. It was a great childhood....60's & 70's

I think going up what we came down would be an excellent challenge and a big goal. We will all have arm pump at the top 😄
Also I thought about that for people who don't know what the dead cat is .... they might just turn the video off there 😐
Good job brother! I enjoyed this.
Thanks man! It's hard to make a video that shows all the fun of the trail, without it being an hour long.
American Dirt Rider oh, I bet! I can spend 8 hours on the range and have maybe 10-15 mins worth of clips from it. Lol

Thanks PJ!
Nice video. Would like to go out here one day. Maybe after the lock down
