I got the chance to explore some of the awesome back country in Arizona. Massive thanks to Jonnie for lending me his really nicely set up KTM 890 Adventure R. Thanks also to all the guys that we rode with and showed us the good stuff!
With doing our Say No To Slow schools in the USA it’s giving me a chance to experience just how good the riding is and how much there is to explore. I’ll be n Virginia and Utah for schools this year, you can go to www.saynotoslow.nz for the details.

Fantastic. And (obligatory) note to self - just because Chris rides something on an 890, doesn't mean I can. Thanks for the inspiration!

That line choice at 11:45 and the jump up from the rock to the boulder is crazy impressive. Amazing riding!

Love to see how far ahead you are looking for lines. Awesome spot on that rock to use as a kicker up the left🤙🏼

Very impressive riding skills as always Chris! Do you have a video that describes the body armor you wear from head to toe?

As a Sedona/Verde Valley local who rides dual sports and adventure bikes, welcome to the area. That loop you rode up to Jerome is a fun one, and thankfully you usually don’t run into a lot of other people out there. There’s another way down bypassing Jerome that’s a rough Jeep trail with great scenery and some exposure. There are a dozen more fun rides, many with even better views.

I bet you know some good trails up around the area. I've been up there a few times starting from Cordes Jct. Which jeep trail are you referring to that bypasses Jerome with great scenery and exposure? I'm going to ride that area next weekend and wondered about that bypass you mention. Thanks in advance, grtdanes!

@@onthethrottle7104 it’s hard to tell by the video, you may have ridden part of it. There are two ways to get down from the back side of Mingus Mountain. One is following FR132 to FR413 to FR104 to hwy89 down to Jerome. I assumed you went that way since you stopped in Jerome. The other way is 132 to 413 to Allen Springs rd which takes you down a rough narrow Jeep trail down the front of the mountain and you come out by the Cottonwood airport.

@@grtdanes0012 Thanks for the information! Very timely as I'm going to ride in the area this weekend. I have not gone down the Allen Springs rd. so I'm going to check this out on my map. Thanks a ton! Much appreciated.

I was in that area with my RV two months ago with my kids riding motorcycles, the area is Prescott Valley mostly the north west. Is hi desert, that’s why no cactuses. Many place to ride as there is a lot of National Forest and State Land.

how challenging was this ride? 1[novice skill]-10[graham jarvis skill.) Ignoring 8:00 and 10:20 this seems super do-able (like a 4/10 w/o, 6/10 with the time codes)
