      I live in West Virginia right off of the Hatfield McCoy trails and I just don't get why people would want to beat their bikes up like this and it doesn't even look fun I've been riding dirt bikes my whole life and I like logging trails but there's just so much better wide open riding you can do in these mountains but I guess to each their own that just looks like frustrating and

      Yep to each their own, this style of riding takes a different type of skill, a lot more control of your bike than just wide open logging trails, also alot less chance of getting severely hurt doing single track as the speeds are not near as high​@johnwayne7128

      Johnwayne....it's hard to explain. I don't understand why people won't to wait in line and pay $100 plus to watch pro sports with 80,000 people....but I'm sure they enjoy it.

    We played around on that hill up to 198 a couple months ago, but didn't go high enough to find out that it connected! So cool.
    I always liked the left exit to 177 with the narrow rocky section -- felt like the only singletrack part of the whole trail

    • @HardEnduroAppalachia
      @HardEnduroAppalachia  10 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah 177 shouldn't even be named a trail lol. I thought that climb up to 198 from the double track was pretty cool too! Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment ! 👊🏻

    The camera never does the terrain justice 😂 She does really good on the Beta 200. I’m currently riding the Beta 200 and I’m trying to talk my wife into jumping from her TE150i to the Beta 200! I think the extra torque would really help her. How long have y’all been riding?

    • @HardEnduroAppalachia
      @HardEnduroAppalachia  Год назад +1

      Yes the extra torque will prevent some stalls and definitely help out ! She's been on a bike since 2018 started out on xcw-150 . I started 2017 on 250 exc-f

    Love your channel, guys!! Great videos!!! Just went 178 last week for the first time! Had a friend pass the switch back, it started pouring and he blew is ACL/MCL after falling down the hill!🤦‍♂️. Crazy trail! Also, thoughts on the Sherco 300? Im gonna grab one this week, hopefully!

    Awesome video! Thanks for sharing, makes me want to go back to HMT!
    At 14:25 there's another line down to the left i like to take. It's right where someone put a log next to the pipe. Check it out next time maybe you'll prefer that over the tight boulders?

    • @HardEnduroAppalachia
      @HardEnduroAppalachia  10 месяцев назад +1

      We've squeezed between that big rock and the pipe to the left a few times is that what you mean? Or are going to the left of the pipe ? I like those rocks, like a fly to light. Appreciate your comments and checking out the channel ! 👊🏻

    • @Jrod_FPV
      @Jrod_FPV 10 месяцев назад

      @@HardEnduroAppalachia loving the channel! Would be great to ride together some day, do you offer guides tours? I'm wanting to plan a trip down that way later this fall, coming down from Illinois.
      I meant going over the pipe before you get to the rocks. I'm a sissy when it comes to scratching my bike on rocks on purpose! I mean I'll do it if it's the only way but when my buddy found the alternate line we celebrated 🤣 but as you know, better cross those slick pipes at exactly 90 degrees perpendicular or completely deweight!

    @Chromedome053 Год назад +2

    Good stuff guys! I ride those trails twice a year with a group from Ohio. You are two are fun to watch. Not many couples can cooperate that well. That new 178 switch back is rough especially when wet. We ride that pipe on 171 or 172 with a foot on the pipe and a knee on the seat. What’s Beta is Chelsea riding?

    • @HardEnduroAppalachia
      @HardEnduroAppalachia  Год назад

      She's on a 2023 200 beta rr. Lol, yes those pipes are ice pipes 🤣

    • @Jrod_FPV
      @Jrod_FPV Год назад

      @chromedime053 that's a good idea, I tried that before but couldn't get it and the bike ended up getting wedged and stuck between pipe and boulder.
      At 14:25 I turn left and go over the pipe, it meets back up to get back over the pipe and get back on the trail in about 60ft or so.
      I don't know how it would be when wet, but when I did when it was dry last fall it was much easier and less risk of damaging the bike.

    Rocks, roots, & ruts, add some mud & steep hills and it is a slog. Now at 70, not too fun for me. Great chemistry and way to keep charging thru.

    Question (also new to the channel)..how do yall like the Beta? Heavily considering getting one as its cheaper than a KTM and seems to be just a better option. East NC rider here looking to get more enduro friends to ride with lol. Most of my buddies only do mx

      Hey ! Thanks for checking out our channel. We love the beta, I ride a 300 sherco 99% of the time but when I get on her Beta it's amazing the power that 200 puts out. Tracks well and gets amazing traction when I climb. Get one ! It won't disappoint
