(upbeat music)
- Good morning clan, welcome to Forest Lakes, Arizona.
We're here at my parents' cabin.
Getting them dirt bikes ready
for our first ride of the week.
I just started up with two littles
and they both started up great.
Actually, new bike's surprisingly is not
as responsive as I was at home.
It's fuel-injected so you think that the weather
wouldn't really affect it
but it doesn't seem to be running as quite as snappy
as it did at my house.
I don't know, maybe this has to adjust to the out suit.
Either way, both of the little bikes started up,
I just ran around the property,
they warmed up, ready to our go,
and looks like Bryce is gonna be the first one to go.
He's getting his new gear on,
figured out red, white and blue, yeah, yeah.
I got the new bags, I gave the kids my old bags.
So, we both have gear bags now.
So, quite fit everything in there.
So, the gears in there but their helmets,
just check what's wrong inside.
- Did you put my new gloves in one of these bags?
'Cause they're older gloves.
- [Clintus] Then, they're probably in my bag.
Sierra's got her new jersey and pants on, how'd they feel?
- [Sierra] Good. - [Clintus] You feel good?
Alright, alright, getting geared up, looking good, buddy.
You gonna tuck your shirt or you're gonna leave it untucked?
- Oh yeah.
- [Clintus] I'm just asking.
- Big.
- [Clintus] Is it big, tuck it in?
Alright, well, tuck it in.
Oh, look at this little dirt bike rider,
look at this little dirt bike rider.
He's looking good.
Right now, remember, this bike doesn't have a down,
it's all be neutral.
So, you kick it all the way down, it's neutral, alright?
So, all you have is up, for gears.
- [Tiffany] There you go.
- Yeah, you feel that?
- Yeah.
- It clicked, you hear the click and the bike kinda--
- So, I just have to roll the throttle?
- Just roll it on.
It won't snap, it is rule.
(motorbike engine revving)
Hard, hard, push it hard.
- [Tiffany] Oh jeez.
(motorbike engine revving)
- [Clintus] How does it feel, dude?
- Good.
- [Clintus] You like it? - [Bryce] Yeah.
- [Clintus] It's definitely different, isn't it?
- Uh huh.
- [Clintus] Four-stroke versus two-stroke?
But you like it?
- Yeah.
- [Clintus] Tear it up, tear it up.
- When I started going,
I went to shift to the up, it braked.
- [Clintus] Well, yeah, it gets kicking in gearing
because it doesn't have a clutch,
it's automatically in gear, so it took a chug.
- Oh, I thought I heard it slide a little bit.
- [Clintus] Yeah, yeah.
I like it how to have your elbows up,
but scoot up a little bit
and you're still too wobbly,
you're still really wobbly, right?
- I know, I know that.
- Loosen up a little bit, right?
And use your legs to hold the bike, alright?
Rock and roll.
(motorbike engine revving)
He's got this, he's got this.
He's already said, "I want the four gears, Daddy.
"I want a four gears, Dad."
I told him 110 but still a 110 is equivalent
to, I don't know, a 60?
Right, 60 two-stroke?
That's about right.
He's loving it though, he's loving it, guys.
It's exactly what I wanted to happen,
build the confidence, wanna ride, ride more.
(motorbike engine revving)
How does that feel?
- [Bryce] - Good. - [Clintus] Good to go?
Alright, sister's turn.
- [Mamaw] I like your gear, guys, that's awesome.
- [Clintus] That's good, huh, Mom? - [Mamaw] Yeah.
- [Clintus] Roll it on.
Like a pro.
- [Tiffany] Yeah.
- [Clintus] Let's see if she can shift.
(motorbike engine revving)
You gotta shift.
We got a first crash.
She turns too sharp, it slid up underneath her.
Pick it up, there you go.
Use your legs, there you go, good job.
- What the crash looks like?
- (laughs) That wasn't really a crash,
it just slid up underneath you.
It's alright, it's alright.
Pick up the bike, pick up the bike.
You are losing gas, when you just lean it down like that.
There you go.
Did you hurt your knee?
(girl mumbles)
- [Clintus] Okay, okay.
Now see, look what happened.
You give it too much gas and you turned, you peeled out.
Right, but you are ready for it.
(motorbike engine revving)
There you go, good job, good job.
(motorbike engine revving)
You're good, you're good.
Alright, we had to take a quick break from the bikes.
It started raining, it's raining pretty good.
It's kinda one of the best things
about being up here in the woods and the trees,
when it starts to rain.
Looks cool, sounds cool, smells cool.
Poor Tanner, he was about to ride
and getting ready to ride and it started to pour on.
(laughs)
(rain pours)
Rain stopped, time to ride.
- [Tiffany] Are you so excited?
- I am very excited but it's partial.
I'm excited to ride 'cause I love riding
but I'm also excited 'cause Bryce is excited.
- [Tiffany] Yes.
- He just said, "Dad, I'm so excited."
"For what?"
"Gonna love riding this bike."
Look at that, he's already geared up, ready to go,
before I even got my bike started.
- I already kickstarted.
- He kickstarted.
- [Tiffany] Nice. - [Clintus] Yeah.
(motorbike engines revving)
So, we found this UTV trail and come to find out,
it's kinda technical, a lot of ruts,
a lot of rocks, roots, sharp turns.
You see right here, Bryce is little in this big rocks here.
He's still a beginner, he's still a beginner.
So, he love it though, he had a really good time.
He did really good, he didn't crash once, guys.
Obviously, he didn't stall the bike or anything.
He rode really smooth.
The biggest lesson after riding on this
was to stand up more,
he still sits on the seat too much
which gets him squirly, gets him wobbly
'cause he's bouncing up and down and around
and once he listened to me and stand up on his feet,
on his trails, he's much, much more in control
and he actually go a little bit faster,
but really guys, first time riding this bike,
first time riding something this technical too,
that the trail that he crashed on last time
at Mormon Lake, was not nearly as technical as this.
That was pretty smooth, it was a jeep trail.
This one is totally like rutted and boulders, rocks
plus with the water puddles,
you don't know what's inside those,
that could be a rock, it could be deep, could be a rut,
and he was going through like a boss.
So, as you'll find out, he says a little later,
it this was his favorite dirt bike ride, ever.
(motorbike engines revving)
Wooh, we found some mud. Look at this kid.
- [Tiffany] Oh buddy.
- Go through muds, go through puddles.
Look at him.
Brand new bike looks broken in now.
- [Mamaw] Alright.
- [Clintus] Grandpa would be proud, dude.
- [Mamaw] Daddy's bike looks the cleanest.
- [Clintus] I know, I avoided much mud.
- [Tiffany] Nice.
- [Mike] Did you? - [Clintus] Yeah.
- I was tearing it up.
- [Clintus] Well that's later.
I didn't know you were next to me.
- [Tiffany] Bryce, how was it?
- [Bryce] Awesome. - [Tiffany] Awesome?
- Oh my gosh.
- So, we found a nice UTV trail for RZRs and stuff,
off-road, full of mud puddles
from all the rain we just got
and he did really good.
I would say it's an intermediate place,
there was big rocks, big boulders, tree stumps,
big puddles and he's just trucking along the whole time.
He got squirrely, I think, maybe once or twice,
when I got behind him I could actually see him
but as you can see, he went through the puddles
and he didn't crash once.
But basically, Bryce, that is dirt bike riding.
What we just did, that's dirt bike ridin'.
These roads that's boring, you can't go fast
'cause we want as dirt road, it's like a street,
there's a speed limit.
You get off-road, you can go fast as you want.
- [Bryce] That was my favorite dirt bike ride that we had.
- [Clintus] That was? Really?
You said you don't like it.
- [Bryce] No, like.
- [Tiffany] That was your favorite dirt bike ride?
- Yup, that I've had.
- I love it, that's what I wanna hear.
It's an off-road, it's got rocks and tree stumps
and tree branches and stuff,
just a little gnarly ride.
So, for this ride, we left Bryce behind
and Tanner, Mike and I went further than we did with Bryce,
just to kinda explore, see all technicalities these trails were,
and this is actually went off into a road
and it was like a jeep trail/road
goes right through this valley, this gulch if you will
I don't know what's called prairie?
And it's actually a big cabin and big pasture
with, I don't know, 10 RVs, 10 trailers,
over here on the left hand side.
But it goes up the mountain
and there's a landfill at the top of this hill at some point
but I was gonna open it up,
straight away, flat graded road.
There wasn't any ruts or rocks at all
so, you know, I was able to get going.
But eventually turned back around and headed back
the way we came,
and went to the other side of the fork.
(motorbike engine revving)
Ended up right in this power line road for couple of miles,
but there started getting some lightning going on
and we were like, we probably shouldn't be
right underneath these power line with lightning going on.
So, we ended up turning back around
and going back into the woods,
but we ended up, again, taking a different fork
and going to different route,
and we found some gnarly trails.
Eventually, this trail gets pretty technical
and I eventually say, "Let's turn back around."
Just 'cause, Tanner and Mike are still fairly new
at ride dirt bikes period.
And we've only got nearly five rides under the belt.
And this was hands down the most technical ride
they've ever been on.
But Mike said, hands down, it's been his favorite ride.
So, it kinda goes hand in hand,
the more technical the ride is,
the more thrills there are,
the more excitement there is.
And ultimately, it's the most rewarding ride
when we can do this
and come the way scratch-free, so to speak.
Wooh, we've found some mud, guys.
Found some gnarly trails with some mud
and the bike's got a little muddy.
Wouldn't you say? A little bit,
I was avoiding some of the big ones
but I had a couple of good ones.
Splatter, splatter fest 2016.
Bryce did not shy away either.
He found all the mud,
all the way back.
But the king was Tanner,
he we went through every single mud pile,
mud puddle that he could.
Biggest, smallest, doesn't matter.
He's just covered in mud,
all the way down, all the way back.
Mike was pretty good about that too.
Muddy dirt bikes, the best.
Dinner time.
What have we got?
Mexican food, tacos, burritos.
Doing good, doing good? - [Mike] Doing real good.
- [Clintus] What are you watching?
What are you watching?
What are we watching?
- Oh sorry.
(laughter)
Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked.
- [Clintus] Chipwrecked, that's the third one?
The third one?
Oh yeah.
You know how we do Mexican food?
Get the full spread all the way across the kitchen.
So, I apologize, guys.
I did not get a chance to give you guys a tour,
proper tour of the property here.
Now, it's already getting dark
but it's probably lying to full acre, like a full acre,
which I guess when you're in town,
there's a smaller acre?
But anyways, the full acre, the thing goes way back there
and down the ravine,
there's some cool things to see.
So, I will try to do that for you guys tomorrow
so you, guys, can actually see the property.
It's really cool, it's really cool cabin
and we're really glad we're keeping it with the family.
Alright, we're done with dinner now,
time for some dessert?
It's time for some smores.
What you got?
You got regular chocolate or you try one of the Reeses.
- [Tanner] Regular. - [Clintus] Regular?
Who's doing Reeses, anybody doing Reeses?
- [Sierra] We don't have Reeses.
- Somebody ate 'em all.
- [Clintus] Aww.
(talking over each other)
- [Man] That's true, that's true,
Reese's is not a typical smores ingredient, fair enough.
- [Tiffany] It's delicious though.
- Woud have been good.
Alright, so we're ending our night here in the trailer,
trying to keep warm.
It's 65 degrees right now,
I think the low tonight is 60?
It's chilly outside, we're doing the campfire
but eventually I turn that,
they stopped that wood in there, let that burn out.
We're getting all cozy in here,
everyone's chilling, got Baby, camp fire.
We got our own camp fire right there.
Good night.
- Good night.
- Hope you guys enjoyed that dirt bike ride,
many more to come, like I said yesterday,
guaranteed at least three videos
but most likely, knowing Mike, we're gonna ride everyday.
Pretty much, pretty much.
So, Bryce already said that ride was the best ride,
what he say?
The best dirt bike ride he's ever had,
it's what he said, that's what he said in our ride today.
So, he's already, "I can't wait to ride tomorrow,
"I can't wait to ride tomorrow."
So, I think it's working, guys, I think it's working.
Stay tuned, more dirt bike action tomorrow and vlog on.
