Рет қаралды 2,372
Жыл бұрынThe more I watch this video, the more impressed I am with the trail. It is probably one of my top 10 rides of all time! Epic, powerful, challenging, edgy, un-nerving and exhilarating...you might not like just how challenging this trail may be, but you will be impressed with the spectacular scenery along the 30 mile route, particularly as you plunge down into Palisade.

Another awesome video. Really enjoy your videos. I appreciate you leaving in the harder sections where you are dabbing and instead of editing them out. It really helps to see what we are going to be getting into when we ride that trail. Thanks and keep up the great work!!

Thanks for the nice compliment! Thanks for watching! The Plunge is definitely a bucket list trail if one has the nerve for the steep cross slope and exposure. But the scenery is outstanding!

@@ronsanderson99 We are heading back out west again in September and your videos are a great resource for planning. We are heading to the Hurricane/St George area and have checked out your videos to plan our trip. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Yes, I must admit that this sandy bench cut trail was very scary for much of the lower section of trail. But enroute the scenery below of the Grand Junction valley was outstanding! Thanks for watching!

Great video. I was feeling sick and full of admiration watching you kill the tech, exposures and those switchbacks! Your best ride to date.

Thanks! It took me 6 hours to ride this trail and so I had a lot of excellent ride footage to work with. It was real hard to cut some of the footage out to get the video down to 16 minutes. On hindsight, I can’t believe I rode some of those hard sections…I was even scared for myself upon watching the video afterwards! Thanks for watching! I’m planning a return to southern Utah and Arizona again this autumn. Should be more fun trails to ride!

The Plunge belongs in a nightmare and oh my gosh it’s at the end of our valley. Nope, not even looking, well, maybe just look. 😄😅😂

The lower section of The Plunge is a 4 hour, white knuckle ride with incredible scenery which you can only enjoy while watching the video afterwards. Thanks for watching maybe just a little! 👍

Moabs' Portal gone nothing on this ride. Better be on top of your game if you want to do this one.

Yes I agree! This was one of the scariest rides I’ve ever done. Maybe only Hangover in Sedona was scarier. But the scenery was unbelievable! Thanks for watching!
