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”)...

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...

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...

Camping and Trail Riding in Duck Creek, Utah

Pete — Wed, 29 Aug 2018 04:56:03 +0000

Every summer my buddies and I try to get away for an epic, week-long adventure ride. Unfortunately, this was not one of those summers. Life, conflicting schedules, and van building got in the way. So we decided to make this summer’s trip a much easier one and just head up to Utah. We decided on Duck Creek because it’s an easy drive from Vegas and the high elevation makes it an enjoyable place to...

Solo Riding & Exploring Warner Valley, Utah

Pete — Sat, 27 May 2017 23:00:30 +0000

While I was in Utah for the day on Saturday to ride the Toquerville Twister, I decided to stay the night and get a little more riding in while I was there. I had nothing going on Sunday so why not stay and explore some new areas? I had a feeling I may want to stay the night while loading my gear up, so I grabbed my Wolfman camping duffel which has everything I normally use for motocamping.

Toquerville Twister Singletrack: A Utah Favorite

Pete — Wed, 24 May 2017 04:03:16 +0000

Located just outside La Verkin, the Toquerville Twister is some of Utah’s best moto singletrack. Featuring 100% twisty singletrack that runs right along steep canyon walls, it is a must-do for riders who love technical trails. It’s exposure to the cliff side makes this trail not recommended for beginners. There are a few tricky hill climbs and rocky drops, but nothing like the stuff you see in the...

Overnight Adventure to Toquerville Falls

Pete — Tue, 04 Apr 2017 05:18:58 +0000

Adventures should rarely ever be planned out. After all, that’s what makes them adventures. Since I needed to get my 500 EXC-F remapped at the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Dealership Outlet in Washington, UT, I felt I might as well make a trip out of it and take advantage of some Utah dirt. It was a very last minute trip. Since Carter Powersports failed at remapping my bike on Thursday...

Winging it for 5 days through Utah and Colorado

Pete — Mon, 14 Sep 2015 03:32:46 +0000

For years I have have had a few “must-ride” places on my bucket list and those places are Moab, Utah and Telluride, Colorado. Each year comes and goes and I never make it up there. Well, this year I made it a priority. No more excuses. My buddy, Brice, just picked up a new to him bike (fully decked out 2011 KTM 990) and my 2012 KTM 690 has been sitting patiently in the garage for the next big...

Adventure Ride Report: Henderson, NV to Pine Valley, UT

Pete — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:25:19 +0000

One of the reasons I bought my KTM 690 was to do longer adventure rides. Back in September of 2012, I went on my first out-of-state ADV ride. My buddy Mike H and I rode from Henderson to Pine Valley for a weekend of riding with a group of friends. Day 1 Loaded up and ready, I had everything I needed on my bike including clothing and essential tools/ parts. I used the Giant Loop Coyote Bag plus the...
