Single track trails in the state of Idaho are well known to be rugged and challenging, but this trail leaves very little room for ANY mistakes. In this video, I'll be traversing one of the deadliest single track trails in the whole state. At points this trail is suspended on the edge of a 100 foot cliff, leaving no room to make a single mistake.. In part one, I'll be riding downstream and part two I'll be riding up stream. There's only one way in, and one way out, and I am determined to see it through..

Idaho Viewers- If you know the trail I am riding please keep the trail number / trail name private as to prevent overuse in the area. Thank you! UPDATE: I knew going into this that I would receive a lot of flak for trying to "hide the trail from people". If you really want to find the trail, you can do some research and find it. All I was trying to do was mitigate the potential impact I could have by making a video about it. All that matters is that if you ride the trail, you respect everyone else who uses it, don't trash the area, or do anything that could cause it to get shut down like how we saw with Moab. Just be respectful please.
I"ve been working so hard on managing my anxiety and then I decided to watch this ...
This guy is committed to his channel! This trail is nuts on a motorcycle. I might do it on a Mt bike, but hell no on a motorcycle.
Being a fly-fishing enthusiast, I'm afraid I would get distracted by all the great fishing spots I'd like to try along this trail.
I am an Idaho native. Born in S. Idaho and raised on a large ranch/farm. Raced MX from about the age of eight up to right after HS graduation. Three years ago I ordered a new KTM300XCW but, during Covid it took a bit to get here. I began riding single track all over the lower half of the state and rode this trail last year. Insane and like most all trails here it is beautiful. Last year I had a slow speed crash as I didn’t realize my front tire was losing air after turning around at a huge fallen log blocking the trail. Got back to the creek (normally a creek but, a raging river after three days of rain. Turned to cross the river tire peeled a little off the rim and threw me into the river. Crawled the best I could but, couldn’t get my lower parts out of the water. Was on a trail that looked like it was overgrown for years. It was a Monday and no riders or vehicles anywhere. After about three hours I was resigned to die. Then out of nowhere three guys came by and shortly thereafter life flight was there. Broke my right clavicle, every rib on my right side, punctured right lung, broken ankle in three places and a torn ligament, so much for Tech 7’s protecting my feet. “This trail” is great riding but, if you want a challenge, ride “the Tour of Idaho”! Great riding to you all 🫡🤙🤙🤙
Some people in some videos feel a need to talk most of the time. Talking can be over rated.
I did trail maintenance here with the Forest Service back in 1976. Steep country formed of unstable decomposed granite. The only place to sit down was on the trail itself. Lots of drilling and blasting. It was built for horse and mule traffic. Love seeing the terrain and foliage with a hint of fall color.
The fact, that you are legally allowed (and there are even official signs) to ride on a trail like that, is crazy to watch for a central european guy :D Would freaking love to do this. Thanks for the video and greetings from Germany.
Posting this as he has is not going to lead to overuse. A) ATVs & UTVs can’t use it. B) Just as many comments have indicated, most (the few that don’t is not changing this trails situation) dirt-bike riders know and respect their limits. C) Back to “A” is what has led to 50” and wider 4 wheel vehicles overuse and abuse of trails is the real problem! Quite frankly uploads of the Alpine Loop in CO and other such trails is a bigger issue than this video. Not to mention BDRs publicity. Let’s find the bright side; the more “recreationalist” we have in the off-road world the greater number of supporters to keep its access and that we have to fight those who try to take it away……
I thought we rode some scary shit back in our 20's in the 80's, but this beats all we did! Great vid!
Awesome trail, great video. Moments of quiet are great. That short drone shot from across canyon early on was sick
Nice job on the trail. You showed good confidence and balance. I'm from NJ so I don't expect to be going there anytime soon. I appreciate you trying to keep the trail secluded and safe. I think at my age (59) I would rather walk it. Stay safe out there.
Has anyone actually died on this trail? Or is it just a click bait title?
I am puckered while simply watching. Well done! 😮😮😮
Nice ride, pretty crazy. Thanks for taking us on the adventure.
Fantastic riding. at 70 years old I think I will stay away from that trail, I am not as agile any more. I still ride the trails, mostly to get to the peaks inorder to setup my Ham radio station to make some DX morse code contacts, and I ride a smaller bike now it is the XT 250, which fit's my slower ability. Good job, you are not out of breath and handle that bike like a champion. Thank you for posting.
Awesome video, the trail & cliffs looked killer with the variety of camera angles, especially at that time of year. Looked like a tough, yet fun ride, nice work! 🤘
I’ve heard that Idaho is a total destination spot for riding. Endless trail and beauty. Looked absolutely mint.
I can't count the times I was holding my breath.
That whole Salmon area is absolutely beautiful. The prettiest I’ve seen since moving up here 17 years ago.
