Not sure how you’re able to ride so well and provide narrative??? Great riding with you and hope we get another chance. Love the “Colin Camberish Challenge”!
I'm glad you think I was doing okay with the narrative part. I am always impressed with guys like Collin (ADV Squared) or Kyle (Dirt Bike Channel) who can go on and on while they ride, with out getting side tracked in conversation. And they always have something interesting to talk about. I feel like I'm babbling about whatever comes my way, haha. Your turn for adding to the "camberish" challenge.
Hey Jim, thanks for watching!! Yeah these Broken Enduro guys don't know the meaning of a short ride. That second half gets more and more beat up every season. Fun for bikes, but I'm sure it's sketchy in a Jeep
Thank you! I'm using the Sony FDR X3000, but they don't make them anymore. GoPros had so many issues, I stepped away from them. I'm interested in the DJI action cam, or maybe the Insta360
Camberish!!!! good job on sneaking that one in. And I think you weren't as tired as last time as you bike seems to always be in the air. Is your front wheel ever on the ground!
Hah! I can't do the full riding wheelie like a lot of other guys, but I have become very comfortable lofting my front wheel up and over things. It really helps in a lot of situations, so I try to keep practicing it when I can. Also that Beta doooooeeeess have a bit of power. Man I felt so much better this ride. I definitely want to keep up the fitness routine, as it makes the ride so much more enjoyable when you don't feel like your legs are on fire and your about to pass out. Who knew!! I think between you, Devon, and me; I've heard "camberish" in the last 4 riding videos of ours. Haha.
@@americandirtrider7662 Sounds great! They'll need to stand out though, maybe something like a red hat...I don't think anyone has anything like that going on...hahaha!
Hey Jay. I was a guest on this ride, so I never had the GPX for it. But if you want to email me at bgrieger02 at yahoo dot com, I can give you all the info I have on the ride.
Hi, do you have the coordinates of the hill at min 2:30? Planning on riding there soon but never been there before. I can't find it just looking at google map. Many thanks
I ride with a few different people and groups, but the Enduro Group in this video is Broken Enduro. They have a website and RUclips channel as well, if you want to see what the group is all about. Planned rides each month, charity events, etc. But they are specific to Southern California. If you're outside of California, I'd probably recommend looking on the forums like Thumpertalk 👍
@@michaelwhalen8165 If you live in California, I would strongly recommend buying something that is factory street legal. Like a KTM, Husqvarna, Beta, or even an older Suzuki DRZ400. Don't count on buying a bike and trying to make it street legal later, unless you live in a state that's easier to do so. Being plated gives you so much more opportunity to ride anywhere you want without waiting for certain seasons or having to avoid certain fire roads and trails. As for what bike, that really depends on what your price range and riding style is. I love my Beta 500 more than any enduro / dual sport I've every ridden. But the KTM or Husky 350 are a lot of fun, or even the Beta 390 for a bit more torque. But for half the price, the DRZ400 is a great way to go for dual sporting. It will never be as lightweight as a modern bike, but they last forever and have lots of aftermarket support. If you don't plan on ever hitting the legal areas, a two stroke 300cc is a fantastic platform for the really hard stuff. Lightweight, and lots of power. Biggest thing for me though, is having a wide ratio transmission to crawl through the rocky sections and still hit highway speeds on the same trip. But definitely read the forums and see what people love about their bikes. Keep me posted on what you're looking at! We would be happy to share the knowledge that we've learned through our own mistakes, haha.
That's a shame to hear. I haven't been back out to this area in a couple years, so I haven't seen it. But that seems to be the case with a few of my favorite places to ride. And I also worry about how fast they come around blind corners and down fire roads. It takes no skill to drive a SXS at extreme speeds, it only takes money.
Hah, well thank you for that. In truth, it's only intimidating the first time. But the soil isn't as loose as I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be a 10-story sand dune. The camera also doesn't really show how steep or how sketchy some things can be. But yeah, I've improved a bit since this ride, so making it up is not even a thought anymore.
I missed your initial reaction to the Widow Maker the first time I watched this! That was priceless! Love this edit brother! Thank you for making the ride, for making the ride (see what I did there?), and for the video! Love seeing multiple perspectives!
Oh man... I was truly intimidated when I first saw it. There is no video I have seen that gives the Widow Maker any credit. Hah, I always appreciate good word humor. I really appreciate the invite, and looking forward to the next one. I really do think it's a game changer to see the 3rd person perspective of what's going on while dirt bike riding. Plus being a riding camera man is a fun challenge as well.
It's amazing how effortlessly you flow through some of those rutted sections. The Widowmaker climb was badass, I found myself holding my breath while you were climbing.
I appreciate that!! With the bike properly set up, your confidence really jumps up. And man the widow maker is so daunting in real life! If Devon didn't give me a little encouragement, I don't know if I would have done it. Haha
Oh good to know!! Well next time I'll have to try the real Widow Maker. Sand hill is a blast though!!! I'd ride it as often as I could if I lived close like you. Thanks for the correction.
@@BrokenEnduro I learned your secret on this ride. Hang back and watch everyone throw it away, and no one can see you fall if no one is behind you. Haha
Well I saw it as a public service announcement for us. "Don't take this line, because it's the hardest one full of giant rocks and cliffs. Watch, I'll show ya." So in truth, I think we all owe you a thank you. lol
@@americandirtrider7662 I'm not going to confirm nor deny this statement. Hahahaha! It does take the pressure off though, just gotta clean your air filter more often.
@Sandoval_Adventures I'm a big fan of this area, and had a lot of fun following these guys. It seems there's a good amount to explore there. But yeah, rain ruts can definitely ruin a ride if you come across one too quickly. Thanks for watching the video! I haven't been on the bike as much this year, but looking forward to getting more riding and video footage this winter. Check out Broken Enduro's channel as well for some other great content in this area.
Man there was all kinds of fun terrain and trails. I just realized after watching Devon's video, that I forgot to include an entire single track section on the spine of a hill. It was really a cool addition.
Hah, there were definitely some tricky parts to this ride, but all in all a fun day. I do think there are sections of this ride that would be too narrow for a quad. Also we had to be street legal to ride from the Baldy Mesa area to the start of Silverwood Lake OHV.
Looks like the exact places I used to ride back in the day when I lived in Hesperia. I live in flat ass Illinois now...No good for dirt riding out here. I bought a Suzuki DRZ400 dual sport just to get some semblance of riding again.
If you're in wrightwood, it's just on the other side of the 15 from you. You can start at that Mountaintop Cafe and work your way southeast toward a place called Desert Front OHV area. Then there are a few road that work toward Cleghorn trail. That's where the second half of this video is. If you just want to do Cleghorn, there is a Cleghorn exit off the 15 and head east toward Silverwood Lake.

You made the Widow Maker look like your Sandwich Maker bro. lol.
This just made me laugh so loud bro! 😄😄😄 That's too funny. It really is a lot if fun, but a bit intimidating at the bottom.
@@americandirtrider7662 Most definitely. It always looks intimidating when you're looking up.
Love those trails. What camera are you using?
Thank you! I'm using the Sony FDR X3000, but they don't make them anymore. GoPros had so many issues, I stepped away from them. I'm interested in the DJI action cam, or maybe the Insta360

Should work if you put it in Google maps.
@@americandirtrider7662 Thank you!
First time up the widow Maker
Man that thing is soooooo intimidating in real life. It's a blast to go up, but you're holding your breath at the bottom.
@@americandirtrider7662 yeah I didn't do it the first time I seen it. But the second time out I did it and loved it.
Try the actual widow maker. It's the run behind the one you climbed. You climbed Sand Hill!
Are you part of a riding group? I need to find people to ride with!

Damn I wish I had an enduro!
It's been a blast, and has opened up so many riding areas to us! Especially being plated 👍
American Dirt Rider Thats awesome man I’m definitely going to be looking into getting one 🤙🏻
@@michaelwhalen8165 What are you looking into getting?
American Dirt Rider Honestly not sure yet man any recommendations? I don’t know much about enduros I’ve only had motorcross bikes

That used to be a single track but the side by sides have ruind everything for all of us.

The widow maker,,,that was more like a “ walk in the park Hill “ nothing scary there, you guys need to get out more,,Nice Video tho

Thanks Bubba! This group definitely has some really fast guys in it.

Widowmaker is the hill behind the one you called widowmaker. You climbed sandhill. I only know cause I live 5 min from it and ride it almost daily!!
Oh good to know!! Well next time I'll have to try the real Widow Maker. Sand hill is a blast though!!! I'd ride it as often as I could if I lived close like you. Thanks for the correction.
Great footage! Everyone was killing it on that ride. Except the fat guy that kept dropping his Beta 😂

She truly is amazing. The fact that she is just over 5 foot tall, and can still manhandle that bike better than we can. Haha.
@@americandirtrider7662 true I would let her man handle me for sure. Super cute and she is a bad ass dirt bike chick🤘🤘
What a great ride this was.

@@americandirtrider7662 just upload it. Or did you not record that section at all

@@americandirtrider7662 Yeah, I hope so...This Corony crap has got things all screwed up.
Funny disclaimer at the beginning lol
Hah thank you! I think you're the only one to comment on that. Just checked out your Refugio Pass video. What a cool road!
What took you so long to make it up that little hill?!?
I should thumbs down this comment, but it did make me laugh.
Where exactly do you park to find the widow maker
Near the Cafe at the split of the 138 and the 2. There's a big lot there.
Can i get the directions for this trail i put it in my GPS and it says its 7 hours away, i live in Wrightwood, CA btw
