- Опубликовано: 2 ноя 2018
- This ride takes place in Moab, Utah on a trail called Slick Rock Bike Trail. This trail is open to cyclists, hikers, and dirt bikers! What a cool experience it was to share the trail with so many other people. The slick rock is an absolute riot! The traction is incredible no matter what tire you're running. If you're looking to ride in Utah and experience this kind of terrain, I highly recommend this trail! I went in October so the temperature was perfect for riding. I am told that it is unbearably hot in the summer time though.

Love your vids Meg....I just wish I was young enough to ride with you! You love your riding, and so did I !!!!!
The scenery on your rides are epic Megs! Wether it's Canada ,Texas,Utah ect.ect...I envy you guy's. Thanks for the sick videos! Slick rock looks like a wonder land!
That was excellent. Thank you
love your videos meg! can't wait for part 2!
like everyone else i love moab. i live in colorado so it isn't an epic drive out there. in fact i went 4 times this year. i go in the spring, fall and summer! early spring and late fall are a bit hard to predict weather-wise. but in the summer, you can always predict the temps and ride in the early AM or PM.
Looks like a blast. One of those bucket list places to ride.
The Slick rock is on my bucket list ( its a long haul from Aussie land !) & vids like this only reinforce why. Thanks for sharing .
Man, Meg's got riding skills' so cool!
Too much fun! 🙌🏾 Love It!!!
Awesome landscape !!!
That is such different riding!! Very cool.
The trail view looks awesome
Cool that u can have nice weather to ride in.looked like a giant field trip everyone was on.seems alittle on the mild side for ur videos,but happy to be along anyway thx.😄👈👍
Ha! Cool memories, I was there mountain biking back in 2011... Now I will need to take the dirt bike there. Cheers from Vancouver Island.
Looks sooooo fun!!
Looks like a fun ride
Meg I would love to run into you on a trail. You are always so happy! If you get to Eastern Idaho my brothers and I will show you some pretty awesome trails. We hit Moab and Mesquite in the winter when the snow flies here.
Looks like a fun trail. But slick! Love it when you have such a flowing trail and you can jump little whoops here and there
That crash at 2:33 though. Ouch! Im doing live commentary here haha
Megs, Of course it's always nice to be courteous to others, but people should not forget that the Slickrock Trail was originally established for and by motorcyclists-- everybody else is a newer guest!
ya what happens where I live is motorcyclist built the trails years ago then they take trail and close it to moto so horses and bicyclist can use it. Sharing the trails here would not be a good idea I think a lot of dirt bikes would run over other trail users and lots of places there isnt space to get out of the way and around each other very easily. That said they are two way trails so we get around each other...
Clickmaster5k Where is "here" that it's justified to take away the trails that were built by motorcyclists?
@@biketothetop Tillamook state forest is where I was thinking. There are lots of trails there that if I'm honest probably started as deer trails then hiking then motorcycle trails. There are hundreds of miles of trail in that area and I like the idea of mix use recreation areas in the woods. There shooting and equestrian activities there too. I just remember years ago riding trails on my dirt bike that are not posted no motorized vehicles. I cant say for sure they where built by bikers I guess but I can say that they where well used by dirtbike and are not well posted not for dirtbikes.
Slick Rock was originally a motorcycle trail, but motorcyclists are their own worse enemy. Buzzing by other people, going off trail and being generally inconsiderate. Moab will protect their cash cow (i.e. Mountain bikers) and Motorcycles will be the first to go
Moab is such a blast! Unique experience and nothing like our PNW ridng! You have to hit Kane Creek, absolutely a hoot ripping through the creek. Also, don't miss Sovereign trail, so fun!
Amazing place!
I was here in sept, also on my husky! had such a blast.
I used to ride motorcycles when I was younger. Sold them and am now a lifelong mountain biker. I really enjoyed this video perspective. You are so positive. : ) I've always wanted to ride slickrock but at age 51...I'm not sure if I will get to.
But I enjoyed the video from a motorcyclist viewpoint. Great!
Trail Lady MTB I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I think you’d be more than fine out on the slick rock, especially at 51! I recently rode with an older fella out in the same area. I met him in the parking lot and we ended up riding together. He was 80 years old and riding all the same rocks as me!!
I think I luv you😀 Always so happy
I was there earlier this year. So many good trails and such great scenery. Almost hard to film from helmet cam because you're always looking around. Haha.
tell me that place isnt great!!!
we went in September, going back in May.
what other trails did you ride?
You stopped and looked into some kettle holes too, right? There's water in those halos all the time, and there's an entire ecosystem in those small pools.Fairy shrimp! In the desert! It was one of the coolest things I saw when I was there 10 years ago for mountain biking. Also. there are tons of native American petroglyphs, and dinosaur footprints to be found throughout the area.
If you are riding in the rock areas and come across carefully arranged rock cairns, stop and check it out, usually these are places to identify dinosaur footprints at that spot, so people won't walk, bike, or ride over them and wear them faster than wind and rain will.
Hope you get to ride Sovereign trail too. Try Amasa Back as well if you can.
I have GOT to get to Moab.
Megan.... u ride Pritchett Cayon,or Kanes creek? Two great trails if you haven't done them.
will be doing 5MOH soon right?
Every other day I'm push-starting my day XD
ElectroMoto haha me too I have to bring my bike to the shop I thing the idle gear at my starter clutch is grinded down the starter motor just spins and catches for like a millisecond 😂
Is that terrain more tiring? It looks kinda stressful to me.
Pretty cool ride, did anyone say hello back?
Sand flats my favorite
you seem so friendly megs :)
she's canadian.
where is part 2?
This Moab area remind me a lot my area in southern Israel.
Awesome video! How would you say that surface compares to pavement?
It's almost the exact same traction wise but it would be some of the bumpiest pavement ever
Harrison Jacobsen it kinda feels like sand paper actually! Very grippy
Wondering ..."gee, is that rock offering better traction than I figured?"....and wham, Yamaha guy goes down. Cool place!
dznnf7 having ridden Slick Rock on a KLR 650, the traction on the rocks is incredible. You could likely ride the whole trail on street tires (save for a few patches of soft sand.) My understanding is the trail got its name from horseback riders, as the rock is Slick when you’re on metal horse shoes!
Named slickrock due to it being slick as snot when wet
I've looked all over and nothing beats Moab for dirt-fun (not to be confused with dirty-fun, that'd be Vegas)
crj moto Since when are STD's fun?
Well thanks for ruining that one biketothetop... lol
Dakar 2020?
My son and I attempted that trail in June at 1pm, all was going good till we got in about 3 mile and came across some cyclist that have been out of water for the past 6hrs, we were also on our mtb's , after giving them all our water except the 2l i had in my camel back we decided to turn around and go refill and ride other trails, it was a bit much for a 10yr old... kid is a shredder though
great place but so many people it looks hard to cut loose and ride
If houses in Moab weren’t so damm expensive I would be living there right now
3:43 ed bassmaster? :)
Just look at it, would you look at that?!
I've ridden slick rock and to me it seemed more like a mountain bike trail that was designated for dirtbikes also but it never felt like I should be ridding there it was fairly boring accept for the scenery there are far better places to ride in Moab but for single track the outlying areas are a better choice Megs with your skill level I hope you got to ride Five Miles of Hell and Blood On the Rocks those trails would be a lot more challenging for you but the whole Moab area has scenery unlike any place in the world it's amazing to say the least if you ever get a chance take a Helicopter tour there it gives you a better perspective of how massive and unique the whole area is.
I made a video of that trail too 🙂 i feel like I’m going to get yelled at on every trail there.
I had the very same feeling and chose not to ride any multi use designated trails especially if they were close to town a few of the mountain bikers that I talked to were very nice people many were not as they wouldn't say anything and were basically just rude.
Hello puppy have you seen moose
I will never understand how you "go faster types" can ride without elbow and forearm protection. I've ridden offroad for 40 years and couldn't begin to count the number of times trees, stumps and rocks of every size have leapt up and attacked viciously ! Only thanks to plastics and padding have I bin able to continue the battle against a total lack of talent.
a smile?..with a helmet on and now a stupid mask underneath that?. :)
