I am totally on board for hitching a ride and am happy to chip in for fuel. I am 90% for sure in. But, I am in New York now and have a Jeep trip to Moab the following week.

Bring some good gear... quality boots, a pressure suit and knee pads are all very wise!
I don't plan on doing anything dumb or something that will get someone hurt. That said, it sure would be fun to ride Hells Gate and Escalator!! :greg:

Ok I'm officially in! I've never spent time in Moab so I'm really excited about this trip. Do you guys ride any special tires while your there?

I posted a link here a few years back of my friend who nearly lost his index finger on Hells Gate on a trials bike.

Jared, you could ride a Chinese scooter anywhere you want. The fact that you have a good bike makes it that much better

Jared there is one downfall to riding a dirt bike in Moab for the first time... You probably won't want to take a 4x4 there ever again

Don't bring a brand new tire, Slickrock will eat up your rear tire. I'm running a trials tire on the back, should be great for traction on the rock, but they SUCK in soft sand.
I'd like to keep all my fingers, but that doesn't mean there won't be any Hells Gate attempts!

I think with the proper approach angle you could jump past the water hole on the escalator.

You better show us how it's done... I'll bring the camera.

That will have to be on the next trip. I looked at it last time i was there in the jeep. It probably not much different than that one on wipeout hill, you just have to be more precise in your landing.You better show us how it's done... I'll bring the camera.

Are any of these rides going to require a desert tank? On a crf450r with the stock tank. Never needed one yet but just checking

How many miles does your bike get out of a tank? I doubt we'll see more than 50 miles per trail, but I could be wrong.

Not sure on miles. I can ride all day long in the mountains like AF canyon on one tank, I usually can do about 4 hours in the sand dunes on a tank too
