At a level 7 difficulty, Poison Spider is not only one of the most popular trails in Moab, but also one of the more challenging ones..
This trail has a unique blend of deep sand, massive slabs of sandstone rock formations, and rock walls. To make matters worse, on most rock walls there is a fine layer of silt that turns them makes finding traction a luxury. Since it's one of the most popular trails, it also is often pack with other jeeps and dirt bikers like me..
This is another trail that really challenged me in Moab, but it's amazing views and occasional flowy section made it ridiculously fun!
Wish me luck in navigating the crowds and jagged rock formations..
Enjoy the videos!!

I really appreciate the drone cam for some of the tougher obstacles.

@madjack_757 Ай бұрын

Yeah the drone angle always does such a good job at putting things into perspective! I was bummed, but towards the end of this ride, my controller was dead so I couldn't get more shots of coming back down :/

@madjack_757 I appreciate the effort. I'm still making my way through this episode. I know if it was me I'd get tired of stopping to get out the drone, especially on busy days like when you were there. I'd imagine it can kinda hurt the momentum so I appreciate you making the sacrifice for our entertainment.

@@Michael_Shay Thanks man! It's definitely one of those things that can get monotonous during the filming process, but by the time I begin editing, i'm always happier when i take the time to get the extra shot! I'm stoked you are likin the videos dude!!

I love how your right turn signal is on. That should be your trademark and appear in all your videos 😎🇺🇸

P.S. is one jacked trail. I recall it having only a very short smooth section, the rest craters. I took my wife up it on my DRZ-400S back in 2009. It was rough back then. The scenery is really pretty up on top, however. Good views.

So I’m a little older. Back in the 70s 😅 loved the smell of 2 stroke gas mixed with bell ray. I’ve mentioned before but I have a electro glide a 411 himi and a new 300L ABS. But I miss the old 2 strokers. I bet my old XR400 and kdx 200 would be pretty good on that trail. I wonder if the 300 l would be ok out there. That easy trail a few videos ago looked like it would. The go pro where your at now doesn’t show how big of a shelf your traversing. Wonder if you could do a scale on some of that. Like standing nest to a tough spot and the drone hovered around ya. Long post here. Sorry for that. I really dig your videos bud. Nice job.

@madjack_757 Ай бұрын

The old two stroke smell is iconic! That KDX 200 would have been perfect for this trail cuz its so light weight and agile. I think when it comes to riding out there its partly the bike you ride, but also how well you know the bike you are on! Thats an interesting idea to try and get a frame of reference to me next to the rock walls and things cuz yeah the cameras always make it seem less challenging than it is.. I'm stoked you like the videos man!!

Looks like a cool trail. Thanks for the video I'm down here in Laughlin Nevada and it's too hot to ride but we do have the river!

@madjack_757 Ай бұрын

It was a killer ride! Whats the riding like in Nevada? Do you just try and stick to riding near the river?

@joshuaconklin4885 Ай бұрын

It's crazy how little justice the camera does for a lot of these obstacles. In most if your videos, I'll see an obstacle coming and think "dude, you're thinking too much and making this way harder than it needs to be". Then I see from the helmet cam how much the bike actually moves, and I'm humbled 😂

Dude I’m telling you the cameras never do it justice 🤣🤣🤣

Awesome vid as always man. I saw you’re a vendor at the Touratech Rally this year. First congrats! I’m hoping to swing by there one of the days and test my luck. They sold out quick this year. If I get in hope to meet ya!

Thanks!! Yeah I’m really stoked to be at the event and meet everyone. It’s not like I’m a big name channel or anything yet, but I really wanna meet more of the community. Plus there are some really big things coming for the channel that I haven’t released yet 🤘🏼🤘🏼 I really hope you can make it in man! Definitely swing by the booth if you can. I’ll be giving away a bunch of free stickers beers and stuff 🤙🏼🤙🏼

I've done this trail in my Jeep, and after watching your videos you're really inspiring me to buy either a KTM 350 or 500 EXC F. I haven't ridden in the dirt in a while, but I think I could slowly ease into either of these bikes. TBH, riding on the street just doesn't interest me anymore.

@madjack_757 Ай бұрын

Dude either of those bikes would be a phenomenal choice too! I'm the exact same way- I like riding on street for short periods, but riding on dirt just opens up a whole other world to explore. Shoot me a message if you pick up one of those bikes man!

@@madjack_757 I'm picking up my new KTM tomorrow! I had a change of heart and am going with the 690 Enduro R instead, for various reasons. For trails like Onion Creek, Potash Road, and Chicken Corners it'll be perfect. Not so sure about Poison Spider though, lol.

So, you're that guy also that thought he didn't need any protection underneath when he went riding in the rocks??? Where's the bash plate & extension of such under rear shock linkage??

@madjack_757 Ай бұрын

I spent all my money on camera gear 😔 I have plans to upgrade the husky after my next substantial paycheck! I serviced the linkage when I got back and thankfully everything is working fine 🙏🏼 The upgrades I’m hoping to do are skid plate with linkage guard, new slave cylinder and clutch, new plastics and graphics, new chain, new tires, swingarm guards, radiator braces, and if I am not broke by all of that, then an ecu as well.
