here's an example of an episode you
missed last week so this is Dirt Every
Day Extra Dirt Head Dave and I want to
talk to you about my minibike Fred and I
recently got to do one of the coolest
episodes ever on Dirt Every Day where
we rode mini bikes from Lake Pleasant
Arizona all the way up to Crown King
the trails called the back way to Crown
King and it's like 34 miles or something
pretty decent off-road trail and it was
a blast it was it's got to be one of my
favorite episodes I don't even don't
even think it's been made into an
episode yet but it was like the most fun
to film just so what we did on that trip
was so the idea was the super budget
over landing mini bikes we went to
Tractor Supply and we picked up these
these mini bikes it's like it's made by
Coleman the same company that does
coolers it's a CT 200 U I think
they've had these out for a few years
it's like your basic mini bike but it's
got fat tires like I think my dad called
these things doodlebugs back when he was
a kid rigid frame no suspension a six
and a half horse gas a lawnmower
engine it 200cc used a centrifugal
clutch and these kind of balloon tires
the balloon tires were the saving grace
on this trip it was so rough trying to
ride these things with the air pressure
that it came from the store with once we
aired him down they smoothed out and it
was a blast the modifications that we
did to these things mine actually had a
basket that we welded on that was over
here the held my cooler and then I had a
milk crate strapped down here with a
bunch of camping gear and two milk
crates in the back and and we hauled
everything we needed for two days on the
trail we probably hauled way more than
we
actually needed but it was a blast we
put the this is just like a shop light
from tractor supply or not a shoplet a
utility light supposed to go into
tractor on the rack on your truck or
something ran wires back to a battery
with a it's at a motorcycle battery to
power it and then a little solar panel
just to keep the battery charged I I
watched a bunch of videos on YouTube
about these bikes and I kept seeing that
the everybody is filming their videos at
your handlebars were always tweaked like
this so when we got these over to our
buddy Vern's house I welded a crossbar in
here it's just a piece of five eighths
conduit or three-quarter inch conduit I
think welded that in and then the
wrapped all this rope around it did this
fancy not work so you can just pull this
off in one shot that way if it was
raining out on us I was they going to be
able to string up a tarp over my hammock
that I was sleeping in anyways these
things are a blast they don't go really
fast i think they say the top speed is
like 22 miles an hour i think we
probably hit maybe 15 or 16 miles an
hour max the rough but they're super
durable we had a few friends of ours go
along on the trip and they were so
impressed with how durable these things
were they're going to go buy them and
take them up to their cabin in the woods
and it use them for cruising around a
cool little bike man there's nothing to
it it's just a just a hardtail chopper
you know things rad it's got a lot of
torque it'll kind of like it'll do a
little peel outs and little pop a wheelies
and stuff but it doesn't have a taut
whole ton of speed anyways it's just
like being a kid again then like this is
what we all wanted when we were 10 or 11
years old these things are awesome so
now you got to go out and get yourself a
mini chopper you can join the crew with
Fred and me being and being rad on our mini
choppers travel in the world looking for
good time alright that's it for Dirt
