Something i realized riding alone versus riding with friends and not leading the way, riding alone forces you to choose your own lines and not follow along. I enjoy this personally and i think it makes me a better rider doing an occasional solo ride to work on practicing clutch control and overall basics.

I like to watch the high speed open trails. Thats what im going to do. You've got me saving for a bike now lol

Loving this, nice to see you struggling with the tough hill climbs makes me feel better every time I fail one lol 😂😂

I will not ride by myself. I'm just good enough that I want to hit dumb stuff but not good enough to get over all of it. Haha! You had that hill, right to the end. I'm glad you had help. Next time. Nice ride!!

People don’t appreciate how hard that 1st hill is. Even more so in your own. Well done

I’ve slid down that exact hill 😂 hit the big bump lost all my speed and then tipped over 😂 getting back on the bike and down was the hardest part 😂

I ride quite often by my self, but always with in cell phone range. Sometimes it's better go to alone, no pressure and you set your pace and go were you want

That 'feeling' on the cliff - it's not just you! Another great video - your displayed modesty on your obvious skills keeps me watching every week. Can't wait for that next Romania chapter!

Scratches are not to be worried about. They are a badge of honor. They signify to the other riders that you have ridden trails and climbed hills at the absolute limit. That, or you ride like shit... lol! In either case, they show that you ride to and beyond your limit and aren't afraid to take a challenge and improve your abilities. I won't fix scratches on my bike. If I go to sell it, I'll replace the plastics and keep my old ones and hang them in my shop. I love the look of banged up plastics. So much character.

Great video mate well done on the first hill climb on your own love your content keep up the amazing hard work and keep riding coming mate your bike sounds amazing

Absolutely awesome content iv not had a good lough like that in a wile and can definitely relate I ride alone all the time and get into all sorts of messes 👍👍👍

I loved that first hill climb🔥🔥 POWERBAND BABYYYYY😝😝😝😝

Love your vidoes.......hahahaha your epic........got to go back, you almost made it.

Brilliant video well done , we have been there and them hills are massive 👍🏻

@10:32 Squirrel!! The one bike I love solo destination riding and camping is my '04 KTM 525 MXC. I have the Garmin inreach with SOS satellite feature (never used it....yet) and love the topo map when the phone has no signal. I also love the Giant Loop Coyote dirtbike saddle bags! Riding alone is some of the most exhilarating and rewarding times because it is up to you and only you. I live in the US, high desert (slow technical to fast desert racing) I'm in my mid 40's and love not having to see a person for days Lol. Love your vids and Instagram, please keep posting since it is great content. Remember-sunny side up and rubber side down ;)

Dude, love me some hillclimbs….that was a good one for sure, and you were so close👏 Thanks for the share….great video

Nice video man, we’ll done on those hills!!! Good luck in Romania ✊💨💨💨

Just came across your channel for the first time! Watched two of your vids, great content! This place is only an hour away from me looks great fun!

New sub, dig the content! Watched a few vids and I dig it. Not the typical “I’m an exceptional Rider” stuff.

I’m always onto the lads about trying that place they’ve all been looks an wicked place to ride and fair play for tackling it on your own 👌🏻

Great videos. Just found your channel and I’m going though all the vids. You do a great job. Best of luck from New Zealand. Subbed 👍👍

You inspire me my dude. 🥳

I do pretty much all solo riding and when I do hills, I don't even pay attention to them, just maintain a good speed and treat it like you are on a trail but just steeper. Now there are some hills where you go down like on that one but I think you psyched yourself out too much. You got it my guy, just go in knowing you can make it

Keep sending it Midwest. Very nearly got that dude 👌 been there on that hill few times, also I've never made it either 😂

You the best KZfaqr ever I frickin love your videos I wish I could ride in locations you go too that would Be a dream! I soon myself will be getting a ktm 2stroke bc of you I love it keep up the good work mate!

Great area! 🤩

I always get that felling of your body pulling you to the one side. 😂

Hit that one again ! :D Awesome video!

Nothing more fun than getting stuck somewhere dangerous on a dirt bike Probably why mine constantly gets sent down cliffs, hills, rocks, etc. Good video 🤙

FIrst of all tho your not riding alone?? were here just watching where ever u go we go what ever you do we watch we always here just watching :D love the video btw!

Aye good attempt at the hill brother! You’ll get it next time

Always ride alone these days had my kids young😎 now the boys are all up 2 necks in nappies with no time to head out🤣+ I always talk to my bike it's not weird ...its just not ..great vids mate 👍👍

Wow you have gotten so much better

love the vids keep up the good work.With what gear do you ride

this looks crazy nice to know you did it!

Love these vids

Mad mad mad, hats off for trying that last hill again 🤪

So close Midwest, so damn close 🫣 next time mate!! If it makes you feel any better, that’s me constantly 🤣👊🏻👍🏻

Cool video, love it!

Nicely done Shame about the last hill and yes quit whilst your ahead, I didn’t like the look of that cliff it looked a fair drop👍

great effort been there done that yes them there hills are steep

Romania again? Lets goooooo i can't wait

Nice video man. That hill you were trying was the one I had my nasty accident on and smashed myself last time I was there. Good effort.

I unfortunately ride mostly by myself. On occasion my sons will be with. It doesn’t help that I only have 2 friends who ride🤣. They also don’t ride dirt bikes To add to the Husky subframe breakage. They could also replace the metal bolts with plastic bolts that will actually break before the subframe. That way it’s not just flapping around. You sound about as nervous as i get when i go to the MX track

Balls of steel!

I go out alone a lot but I usually just stick to my comfort level and scout the sketchier stuff I want to try later when I have company in case something goes bad

Bossin it.....except impossible. Great vid

Nice video, makes the saving for a new bike even more creamier! Where is this quarry and where are you from? You sound like a southerner.

You are really good, I wish you could make a video about the repairs you do and the skills you should know in this field :)

That first hill man. Never looks big on video twice I’ve tried it and twice I’ve slid down my my ass. The sounds the bike makes when it’s sliding down that rock hill is no fun sound 😂 well done

Let’s see you conquer that hill!

Well done bro

We celebrated with you!

I usually ride alone by my home I definitely take it easy and kind of resemble the kid from Christmas story with the amount of padding but I kinda enjoy it😎

Almost had it! At least you made it up the 1st one 🤘

I ride alone aswell after many freinds stopping this great hobby... it takes time to adjust .. but with freinds its more fun

Awesome video bro 🍻 Nothing worse than scratching a new pipe up

Another good video. Am sure you managed this on the 250. Back in the day. Glad you got out and looks a awesome place

Definitely doesn't do it justice. Am there tomorrow and will try some drone filming, see if I can get anywhere near showing the scale of some of the climbs

Great video again! Are you taking your own bike with you to Romania and are you transporting it with a van?

I prefer when your out on the moor but I really enjoyed the video keep it up

Sometimes it's nice to go on solo rides, you move at your own pace without any peer pressure and at the same time you don't have to wait up for anybody.

Nice! Just be extra careful

I agree it is weird riding alone. I always find I never go as hard by myself as I do with friends

Mega place that last hill has got me before

I just went on a solo ride last week and was having a blast, then I saw a hill that was way beyond my skill set too. I met a very similar fate

I spent 3 days riding at wern ddu building up to that exact hill! I made it right to the top but did a slight jump, caught traction and flipped the bike! I thought I had it but in the words of vin diesel! You never had it lol 😂

You have made so much inprovment !!!!¡!!!!!!!!!

Great video and yes if you can see the steepness watching the video it is really steep. Video almost never does the terrain justice.

Great video as usual!!!! What GoPro mount is that?

I've been to Wern Du Quarry today... The man was speaking truth when he says it's steeper than it looks.. f*#+k

I ride on my own more often than not I do like it but also like friends that spur you on best of both worlds

Great Vid, what mount are you using for your Gopro ?

once you've gone black, you'll never go back! another great video thanks

I ride solo quite a bit...always plan on being extra careful...usually end up hill climbing and going places that I shouldn't😃🤘

Lovely vid

If you ever have the chance you should ride some sand dunes it’s a blast and some good hill climbs

Always ride by myself ..58 didnt ride for 25 years and now klx 450r l put biger back sprocket for hills seen less experience riders on ktm 2 strokes not make hill climbs l do so easy .. hit it fast keep head and weight over handle bars don't slip back on bumps don't use to much power or will flip .in Victoria Australia

Got a bike can’t wait to go riding

Been on my own a lot, I just don’t go 100% full throttle alone, about 80% unless I see people around me then wide open

So cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crazy steep hills. Personally I'd say riding by yourself keeps you more focused and you forget about showing off for your buddies that's why you almost made it up the second climb.

I had to cancel my Netflix subscription cause the only thing i seem to be watching these days is MidWst MX 🤣 Just love the videos man, keep it up dude. (why is it so awkward when you talking to yourself and some random people appear, 🤣, its like a moment of silence 😅) oh and tel me about your gorpo setup. cheers mate 🤙

😈😈😈 you laughed like a litgle girl on that climb 😈😈😈

was there the other month was absolutely chucking it down i took my 450 had a right good ol'time P.S your aloud to go past the no entry signs :)

I ride at wern ddu quarry and that those big hills are massive

I love riding on my own, i actually spend more time riding so its better for ur fitness. When out in groups we just natter away 🤣. I dont try rediculous stuff tho where your bike might get tied up in a tree tho for example, leave that for when the lads are out in force haha

Aahhhh so that's what did it 🤣

That feeling by the cliff you had is very normal, lots of people get it. I get it a lot, I might get it more than most actually, I'm not suicidal or depressed at all but I'm always considering driving head on into a tree or jumping off a roof or getting myself shot. Idk why, I don't enjoy getting hurt and I don't really want to die, it's just weird thoughts

I enjoyed that👌 ... can I ask what lens view you you use the gopro in ?

Tip when you go down hill use back brake

Been out a few times on my own and I’m always like “nah, that hill will get done another day” 🤔🥵

haha it looks enough even on the cam tbf

How do you knw tha tip works for husky,,, take the 2bolts out ov subframe is tha right yea

what is a power valve, what does it do and what’s the pros and cons of turning it

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤙🏻James 💪🏻

wheres this to in the uk mate i, from wales love your content love to ride the bikes with u 1 day

Come to colorado! I would show you some amazing trails. Rockies force you into a better rider.

😂😂😂 absolute classic

Awsome ✌️
