With the way you had to manhandle that bike, I don't blame you for accidentally hitting the turn signal. 🤣

@genesis344 I’m always bumping my turn signal it’s so annoying 😂🤟🏼

As someone who’s ridden with ya know I can tell you with absolute confidence that you’re gonna need to replace those turn signal bulbs much sooner than normal 😆

@@downbytheriver501 HAHAHAHAHA! Dude I always forget they're on!!!!

Moab usually rips those damn things off..... it was a miracle yours was still attached! 😆

Thanks so much man! It was super awesome exploring that area!

Glad you liked the video!! The riding out west is absolutely top notch! The 501 series has gotta be the greatest model that husky came up with. I absolutely love these bikes and I'm guessing you're the same with your 501 lol. What mods are you running? Hopefully your son heals up quick!! Injuries are a significant part of the sport and I agree that you just have to learn to accept the risks.. Thats a heck of a record to break by the way lol Its funny, you aren't the first to tell me to make an "on any sunday" type of video! I actually have an "on any sunday" sticker on one of my camera cases!

that's a funny story, true tho, about expecting to fall every time lol.. I'm young and rode as a kid, ive finally got back into the sport on a yz426, got it for cheap, runs good. but first real day out on it I fell over like a moron just trying to start the thing, heard a pop in my ankle, managed to start the bike still and rode around all day, had a blast. I sit down for a water break and when I go to stand back up is when it hits me and I realize, yep, something is probably wrong with my ankle lol. Just sprained it and I've since been back out, can't let a new intimidating bike scare you, I love the power on this thing lol. and I've purchased a nice pair of riding boots which I should've had from the beginning, ready to have a lot of fun on this thing

Stoked you liked the video dude!! Man that ACL tear must’ve been a rough one 😬😮‍💨 I felt lucky since I was able to recover from that. It’s mind blowing how it doesn’t look like a bad injury, but falling on those rocks are no joke! That actually was the exact same spot where the group ahead of me had their rider break his arm!! Maybe that one rock wall is cursed?? I’m glad I inspired you to take on Pritchett again! Stay safe and keep the rubber side down 🤟🏼

Thanks! I have high hopes for the channel and just gotta keep getting more content out 🤟🏼 Stoked you liked the video!!!

🤘🏼🤘🏼

Thanks! Moab has quickly made its way high up on my list of top places to ride now! Doesn't matter if you're on 2 wheels or 4, theres something fun to do. Definitely a cool place to retire I bet too.

Thanks!!

Thanks!

One of the coolest places on Earth!! I'm glad you liked the video!

🤟🏼🤟🏼

Thanks! That terrain out there is other worldly compared to everywhere else I have ridden! I am so stoked I got to experience it.

That’s so gnarly 😂🤟🏼

Thanks man!!

Thanks dude!! Stoked you like the channel! October is gonna be a KILLER time to ride in that area on your 5-hundo. I agree, solo riding is its own different style and you just gotta be so self reliant for everything. I have a set of moose tubeless inserts, but I just havnt bit the bullet and installed them cuz I still ride alot on street and worry about overheating the inserts. Have you had any issues with it?

@@madjack_757 Yea man keep the content coming! I had issues with the non Michelin bibs, I try to only ride trails but occasionally ride slab, they are a bit shaky over 45 on the slab, I keep it a 35 and don’t go more that 5 to 10 miles at a time, yea the heat is bad. I did put a good amount of miles on the highway in Colorado @ 40 miles in 2 days and had no issues. They are a real pain to try and install and get the tires bead to seat so I just have my local shop do the install. Busted a lot of knuckles trying lol. But I will never try tubes again unless I do a long bdr run. I run them with the Golden tyres and feel like I’m cheating, they hook on rocks and deep sand. The rear bib will last 2 tires, the front tire last so long I just replace the bibs with them to avoid any issues.

Thanks! Definitely go explore Moab if you get the chance! It's like riding on Mars over there.

Glad you liked the video man!! I definitely took a second to warm up, but I had an absolute blast Solo riding is so awesome and I always think it’s funny when people tell me I’m crazy for doing it lol Definitely get out to Moab if you get the chance dude!!!

Thanks man! I'm glad you like the videos!! What are your favorite areas?

Have you ever ridden prichett?

Thanks!

Thanks so much dude!! I missed out on dusty lizard and I wish I went.. I was in the area while the event was going on but I just didn’t make it sadly. I actually have stock suspension and the stock clutch still.. I really gotta make the upgrades when I get a bit more money in my pocket 🤟🏼

Moab is so freakin awesome!! I never got to ride that trail, but someday I'll be back!

It was a tough one!!

I’ve heard a few war stories of the mud out there and I’m sure it’s no joke..

Right on dude! That canyon is a mean one for sure.. funny you mention it, I was going to actually film white rim but I was having to jump through half a dozen bureaucratic hoops to get filming permits for out there and I ended up bailing on that project 🥲 I rode some of those other trails too and have some videos coming up for em!!

HA! I'm stoked I got to bring you along for the ride!!

Dude it was a gnarly ride.. one of the toughest of my life for sure. I can imagine if I were riding a 300 with some tubeless inserts, it would feel like a night and day difference to ride 🤟🏼🤟🏼

Dude its pretty impressive he ripped this trail with a sport bike!! Like i am so shocked that bike didnt split in half after the trail hahahaha

Eh maybe a little of both lol. Thanks for the congrats! I absolutely learnt that water rule on day one.. Never made the mistake of packing too little water again. The tough part of getting a riding partner is that my filming process takes a long time and not everyone wants to stop 50 times to fly the drone you know? If I found a riding partner that was equally as skilled on the bike as they were into the filming, it would be perfect!

Thanks! It’s feelin better, but I was struggling to finish that trail for sure.. I’m glad I made it out 🤟🏼

Same here! Once I got used to the big bore motors I don’t want to go back lol 😂

Dude you have no idea hahahahaha. I replace that camera mount (and camera) all the time lol

Loooove my big bores. I can never go back after gettin used to how they feel lol. Initially I actually planned on doing 5MOH while I was down there this past trip. I opted not to do it tho cuz I was riding solo and this trail had pushed my comforts specifically for riding solo. Next time, I am gonna go down there with a crew and try to tackle 5MOH!

Wise choice for that trail! You will be good to go with your bark busters, just plan on picking her up a few times 😅 If you can make it past the crux without dumping it at least once, I commend you!

So I’ve heard.. I’ve heard getting past the crux is ridiculously challenging.. someday I’ll do it!!!

My CR500 have pro circuit port jobs and pipes. With suspension mods and steering dampers. From back in the day. I'm adding a 200 watt lighting coil to the second one. I think I'd rather get a bad case of herpagonasyphilaids and ride one of your four strokes!

Nice. I loved my 95 cr500, had it set up just right to slay trails. I just didn't care for the close ratio transmission. It would be sweet to find one of the old wide ratio kits they used to make for them!

thanks dude!!

Oh man a trials bike would have been the perfect bike for that canyon 🤟🏼

Oh dude i woulda been so much less stressed if i had a partner to help me clear some of those sections 😂😂 Yeah it’s that tiny layer of silt over everything that makes it so insanely slick! The cameras never do it justice but I try 🤟🏼

Glad you like it! So I can't remember the exact source I found it on, but there was some BLM map or website that had trails and their corresponding difficulty ratings. There were also signs posted all over the entrance to the trail giving an extreme precaution to the people wanting to ride in that area.

I’ll have to try out a setup like that🤟🏼 Pritchett? Flowy??? 😂😂😂

Right on dude! Are you running like a TMC ECU or something? As the channel does better, I will probabkly keep upgrading my husky and thats definitely on the list.

@@madjack_757 I went with the Taco Moto guys GET SX1 ECU. I looked at them for a couple years. Then I bought a second ktm 500 (2014 with the european "euro" remapping of the ECU without US restrictions). That bike's engine rode sooo much better than my 22 ktm 500, that I knew I had to get an ECU for the 22 since you can't euromap them. The ECU is even much better it turns out than the euromap. The bike is a freaking monster in the dirt, soooo much better because basically at any throttle angle, there is power. On hill climbs the other day, I was like what happens if I get no momentum and just tractor up. I can do this, then accelerate and shift up mid climb with no momentum, it's ridiculous. But also a big safety thing on hills and with obstacles, since like you it seems, I'm a solo rider so I need the power to be there on hills and obstacles when i need it. Stock wouldn't quite do this for me, even though stock 500 still blew away my older, smaller bikes in this way.

@franknunez7204 alright alright take my money I’m sold 😂😂😂

It’s one of the gnarliest I ever had the chance to ride!! Such a killer experience but yeah a massive amount of work 😮‍💨 What KTM are ya runnin?

@@madjack_757it’s no joke for sure but still one of the more picturesque canyons in Moab. That exit road is the doldrums in a jeep but I’m sure the bike makes it fly. I’ve been running an 890 Adventure R but recently picked up a 350 exc-f for the more technical stuff. Moab is my backyard so… maybe I’ll catch you out there on your next trip.

@casey3057 right on dude!! That 350 would be an absolute weapon out there! I’ll make a post the next time I head back down south and definitely reach out to me 🤟🏼

@@madjack_757 100% will do. safe travels. Rad content. Just subbed. 🤘

@casey3057 thanks for the support man! Stoked for the future videos coming out 🤟🏼 I’ll probably have 6-10 more videos from Utah coming out over the coming weeks 🤙🏼

Thanks for sharing your feelings

Man that trail is LETHAL.. I’ve wanted to ride it too but I bet on that 500 it would be NUTS!

Most people don't understand. A CR500 2-stroke with a port job & pipe is a beautiful thing. Pulls like an IT200 at low end. Mid-range and top end is not for the faint of heart. Come out if a corner at the bottom of first, click third, launch into the whoops, then skip across the top! Totally cheating.

@@madjack_757 I've heard it's really not that bad, the main thing is you just never get a break as it's just constant rough terrain.

@@RonLohman13 yeah I heard you just gotta keep up the momentum and most people talk about getting past a “crux” and that it’s the hardest part of the ride. A two stroke bike is a must have for it tho so it seems.

Thanks! Yeah the challenge is I have geared my bike like a dual sport so it is in between dirt settings and street settings. I think i am currently running a 16/48 but I'd have to check again the next time i'm in my shop. Yeah its really tough with some of those lines and it was a huge learning curve to understand the terrain. I definitely loosened up by the time I finished riding in Moab tho. The reason I rode solo and why I am often riding solo on my channel is that the filming process for some videos is super exhausting. It would be awesome if another video creator was down to collaborate and be riding partners, but it's a lot of work. I probably stopped 2-3 dozen times on the trail to put up the drone or change camera batteries/settings or check how the footage quality was coming out. Someday I'll have a crew to go out and work with but for now its just me 🤟🏻

Dude those rock piles are absolutely lethal.. that’s how I messed up my knee in the video! I put my foot down and my boot got stuck in the rocks and then boom gravity does the rest.. you’re lucky you rode outta that dude 🤟🏼🤟🏼

@@madjack_757 hope ya heal well dude! We just got back from Green River/Moab last weekend and ride 5MOH. Video just put out a little while ago

@CoolEyeColorado I gotta check out that video dude! I’m tryna ride 5MOH someday!

Thanks! Funny thing, I was planning on doing 5MOH, but after doing prichett, i decided to hold off until my bike and I were better set lol

Thanks so much!! If you shoot me an email at madjackmedia.757@gmail.com, then I’ll send ya the trail name! I usually don’t explicitly say the trail online so I can avoid having the whole internet showing up at the trail 😂

@@madjack_757 Will do. BTW, loved the drone shots. Looking forward to part 2!

@fairplayrandy awesome! The drone footage is my favorite too 🤟🏼

I try to avoid it because when I have a video do well, I often get caught up in arguments on how the area I filmed a video is now going to be swarmed with other people and eventually cause it to be shut down. This is less of the case for UT but in Idaho and a lot of the PNW trails are well kept secrets by locals and I don’t want those trails to be shut down.

@@madjack_757 Yeah, I'm aware of the issue in other areas. But the secret's out in Moab. Keep up good work.

Thank you! I never got the chance to get all the way to Lockhart basin, but I believe Lockhart is a little bit easier than this.

@@madjack_757 I need to conquer both of these rides ,,

I’d love to check that area out 🤟🏼 What’s the trail like?

😂🤟🏼

Yeah I agree. I typically notice those things in the editing process more than the filming.

Oh I can imagine it was a complete shock to see how different the terrain is!! It’s just an entirely new world of riding out there 🤟🏼🤟🏼

@@madjack_757 ... At least on this trip I'll know what to expect....Hopefully I won't be so awe-struck and I can focus on enjoying the riding more than the scenery 🤣

@painsrides3616 😂🤟🏼

Definitely upgrades I ought to consider!!

I saw the video but sadly I didn’t see him out there while I was riding it! It coulda been a fun collab tho so it’s a shame 😂

The challenge is finding a riding partner that appreciates the filming process too 🤙🏼

@@madjack_757 I hear ya there! If you enjoy riding AF (American Fork Canyon)… 3 of us ride almost every Friday throughout the summer. You are more than Welcomed if you need some riding buddies….? Good Luck

I agree! I’ve had a few people tell me how I’m riding poorly in the video and I’m like man I’m trying my best out there 😂😂😂

@@madjack_757 you did a good job . Esp with that big Ole 501. We went back down preitcherd caynon and my buddy tore his acl. Careful out there man!

@aaronphillips2728 thanks! Yeah that canyon is no joke.. lots of injuries happen out there.

Yeah I thought about airing down and that probably would’ve been the number to hit. For some reason I was just feeling like since I made it up the first walls, I could do all the others 😂 Thanks for the advice man 🤙🏼

17 is highway pressure. 12 would definitely have made the day a little better.

@pdrhound yeah I agree it probably would have

I think a 250-300cc would have definitely been ideal. 500s are amazing in a lot of ways but they are definitely their own beast to learn to ride for sure 😂🤟🏼

Mannnn my blinker fluid reservoir was bone dry when I checked it after the ride. It was a close call.. I think calling Pritchett a “road” is a bit far fetched but I get where you’re coming from lol 😂 what trails are you referring to? Maybe I ought to plan for those for my next trip out there 🤙🏼

Incredible to take a 500 up that as your first trail in the area! I’m gonna have to check the rest of your channel out!

Helmet cam is running 4k superwide I believe but I'd have to double check to see if I had it on any special settings. I do most of my editing on footage quality in my software that I edit with. The media mod is a must have dude!! Ever since I got my helmet mic setup and connected w the media mod, I never want to rely on external audio again.

Thanks dude! It was a gnarly one.. that was just video one of probably what will be about 6-10 more videos comin up. Loads of cool content up on the channel too 🤟🏼

@@madjack_757 glad to hear you’re liking the mod. So you runs. Mic mounted inside your helmet as well? I just started poking around with filming my rides and I’m recognizing how important good audio is. And I love the secondary angle from the front fender!

Right on dude! Best advice I could give you is to have multiple angles (plus one camera captures external audio and one captures helmet audio), multiple batteries, and when in doubt, film more than you think you need lol.

I wonder if a tw200 would have been easier for me to ride out there? I bet the lighter weight would have helped. Its funny, I actually used to have a 1974 Yamaha MX125! Momentum is absolutely king on those trails without a doubt. You just have to commit to your lines entirely out there. I wondered if it would be be bad for me to name trails in Moab since most are well discovered, but I also be careful to not become "the guy" who caused trails to get overrun. I've seen some of Trailmator's videos too! Those rescues are gnarly..

@@madjack_757 I use to be a dirt bike riding fool, but when I rode my XT600 for 8 hours, I would be stove-up for 3 days. This was also 30 years ago. At that time, 1990s, I bought a quad for my Wife to ride. I would also ride it from time to time, and I was impressed by where it would go. I eventually bought another one for me. A couple years later, I discovered that I could ride my quad for 8 hours, and the next day ride it for 8 hours again. So I gradually quit riding my 600, and started riding my quads more. After I retired I decided to start riding dirt bikes again. I found a 1994 XT600 in Cali, and went down to pick it up. I was a riding it 2.5 years ago up by Dubois, and was on a 2 track road. I had to go around a tree across the road, and I got off-balance and just tipped over. It took my 25 minutes to figure out a way to lift up that hi-geared Top-heavy monster. I went back to the truck and took it out to my favorite bike shop and had him sell it! My 1986 XT600 was a dirt bike that you could take on the road. That 1994 XT600 was a road bike that you can take to the dirt. There IS a difference. That is when I bought my 2022 TW200. I love riding that little bike. I have done a ton of mods to it, including a rear disc brake. There are a ton of trails here in Idaho, and I do enjoy riding my little T Dub. Maybe we could end up going for a ride together some day. I so enjoy your videos. It makes me want to go riding, if it would EVER QUIT SNOWING!!!!! LOL

@@madjack_757 By the way, thanks for the reply.

I have a TW200, and I was wondering how it would do on this trail too Weight of it is 278 vs. the Husq 501 being 258. I think the TW would suffer with less suspension travel and horsepower. I really like the TW for tougher trails as I can reach the ground so easily, but that might be the only advantage. Is the seat height of the 501 really 37 inches? That seems way too high to get a foot down when you need. Well, I guess you're doing great, but I'd have a lot of trouble.

HA! Thats exactly how I felt after riding this trail! I was out for the next day resting lol. Bikes definitely can get the best of you when you don't have the right machine for the place you're riding.. Funny story, the one time I tried riding ATV's was when I got off work and my old boss had a couple 4 wheelers. Told me we would take a half day and go ride ATV's instead which was great because I was up on rooftops for 8 hours a day in the summer heat. So we go out riding and he takes off like a bat outta hell and I try to keep up with him. It didn't take long before I overshot a corner and went down into the weeds lol. I had to wait at the side of the road for him to come tow me back out hahahaha. That tdub is such a blast I bet! Once the snow melts, I'd love to go for a ride! I'm so glad you're loving the videos too!

It’s a gnarly one I can tell you that 😂🤟🏼

I shoot in 4k60, but I think I have set my camera to some custom settings as well. I did it a while back and can't remember what they were lol. Should I make a video about all my cameras and their settings?

@@madjack_757 yes, definitely. I’ll bet there’s plenty of of people that would like to know how to get as good a footage as you

@HardcoreSpainAdventure thanks so much! I’ll try to get a video out on my camera setup!

I use a DJI Mini 3 Pro!

Definitely beat me up 😂

Shoot me an email and I can send ya trail info!

A kdx200 would be absolutely perfect for that trail! They’re so lightweight and nimble 🤟🏼

@@madjack_757 One drawback of the KDX is that it's kickstart only.

​@@madjack_757 Good point...I do tend to run things down there together. In re-reading my post, I did not like the tone. No disrespect intended and enjoyed the vid. I'm looking at a 500 to pair with my 990 so good seeing you on your 501. The 250 comment was about the trail...I'd never take a 500 anywhere near there.

WIthout a doubt, it would have been easier for me to do it with a crew or on a 300 lol. Heck just being on a 2 stroke would be a night and day difference. I still got it done tho!!

That knee brace would have been amazing lol. I LOVE my in reach by the way. It gives me so much peace of mind to have.

@@madjack_757 I haven't seen your InReach, my bad for assuming you didn't have one. I really need to get one because like you, I do a lot of solo riding.
