Dirtbiking Kennedy Meadows: June 2022 Ride Report

Pete — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 14:23:41 +0000

Every summer when the Vegas heat starts cranking up, we head up to the Sierras to ride the cool mountain trails of Kennedy Meadows. It has become one of my favorite places to ride. With miles and miles of flowy singletrack, you can easily spend a few days here and hit something new every day. Since I started going in 2019, I’ve gotten to know the place pretty well. So since we had 2 full days to...

Skydio 2 Motorcycle Setup + 5 Tips For Flying

Pete — Fri, 27 May 2022 14:28:25 +0000

I’ve owned my Skydio for almost a year now and I’ve learned a couple of things on how to dial in my setup and fly it from my dirtbike. Even though the Skydio is easy to fly (flies itself), you have to be able to carry everything on your bike. Being able to quickly get the drone out and in the air makes all the difference in the world for me. The same goes for landing it and putting it away so I...

Green River Dirtbike Trip Report: Good While It Lasted

Pete — Sat, 23 Apr 2022 17:18:57 +0000

For years I’ve been itching to get up to the Green River area and ride. There is so much technical terrain, subway-shaped tubes of rock washes, and incredible views in every direction. When I saw there was a Green River Dirtbike Rally coming up I immediately signed up and made plans to head up. Instead of bringing the Sprinter moto van this trip, we decided my toy hauler (“the big dumb trailer”)...

I Will Never Stop Riding.

Pete — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 02:40:02 +0000

October has come and that means it’s riding season for us desert dwellers. I’ve been really stoked to get back out on the dirtbike, especially with the new Skydio 2 drone. Last weekend I met up with some buddies and managed to grab some killer footage of our ride out at Nelson. It turned out great and had me itching to capture more. Well, that and I really wanted to ride too, but I really love...

Ride Report: Toquerville and Warner Valley Moto Trip

Pete — Tue, 05 May 2020 03:25:28 +0000

Every year our group makes it up to Utah to ride the Toquerville Twister singletrack. It’s a flowy, intermediate/ advanced trail that is only accessible by dirtbike. It hugs canyon walls and borders deadly cliff sides. The hardest part is keeping your eye on the trail because the views are that awesome! Once you make it past all that, it winds through rocks and trees and the singletrack ends at a...

Solitude in the Mojave Preserve: Camping & Ride Report

Pete — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 04:03:03 +0000

Since the world is currently shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Anna and I decided it was the perfect time to distance ourselves from others and head out to the Mojave Preserve for some fresh air, camping and riding. We loaded both KTM’s up into the van as well as all our riding gear, firewood, grill, camp chairs, etc. We have been working on paring down the things we bring on our trips...

Ride Report: Kennedy Meadows…Singletrack Heaven!

Pete — Fri, 09 Aug 2019 02:41:28 +0000

For years I have heard about Kennedy Meadows as an epic place to camp and ride dirtbikes. When anyone asks about this place online I usually see the local So Cal riders respond with something like, “it sucks, don’t go there”. This is the same way we joke when people ask about Dumont Dunes, therefore I know it must be good. So what is Kennedy Meadows and where is it? It’s just outside the small...

Ride Report: Toquerville Twister | May 2019

Pete — Wed, 15 May 2019 04:42:01 +0000

Ever since I rode the Toquerville Twister two years ago I have been hooked and wanted to go back. The Twister is an extremely fun and challenging combination of singletrack, hill climbs, drop-downs, tight and technical obstacles, and water crossings. Some exposed areas of the cliffside singletrack aren’t for the faint of heart. It is definitely not a beginner trail, but most intermediate or fairly...

Ride Report: Singletrack Sunday near Primm, NV

Pete — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 06:34:58 +0000

Since it rained on Saturday, Mike B and I decided to take advantage of the prime dirt and weather conditions on Sunday and head out to find some singletrack near Primm. The Primm and Jean/ Roach area offers tons of trails and singletrack. You just have to look past those powerline roads to find them all. We left Henderson Sunday morning and headed into Boulder City for some quick Micky D’s...

Ride Report: Sloan-Goodsprings-Pioneer Saloon

Pete — Sun, 02 Dec 2018 18:18:24 +0000

Saturday was time for another desert ride with our Canadian friend, Jordan. I told him he couldn’t visit Vegas without riding out to Goodsprings to check out the Pioneer Saloon. Built in 1913, the place is full of character and history. There’s also one of my favorite canyon trails featuring winding singletrack, narrow canyons, and fun hill climbs on the way. It is a must-do if we are riding out...
