Hitting the gnarliest hills in Jawbone Canyon

Elevated_Action
Austin Teyler and Elevated Action Sports are back at it with their newest Superfly web episode. He rode that place unlike any other, including getting as far up as possible on that 900 foot rocky monster! Does anyone have recommendations of where we should go film next?

That was rad. I'd look into a road trip to Kamloops British Columbia Canada, there is some BIG stuff out there.....

Nice video. Music was mixed a tad too loud IMO but it's not that egregious. I just want to hear more engine sound

Heck ya, my bad I forgot to update the other thread with the first couple videos. I'm almost done with my little recap video from last weekend and I'll post that when it's done.

Just looked it up.. that place looks killer! We'll definitely put it on the wish list. I never knew there was high desert like that in Canada, especially BC. But there are some big ones out there it looks like

I am so pumped you guys rode at Jawbone. I spent many days at Jawbone as from 5 years old and up. The widowmaker (I wonder if it is still called that) is one hell of a hill. Saw many try to climb it.

Bean Canyon is a fun ride, Hannas old track is out there too, but the big hill climbs are way in the back, so not sure how easy it would be getting the equipment there for filming. Bean became the go to canyon for riding and camping.

Bean is a bust "if you're not a land owner" out there. Lucky for me, I own some.... Wink

There is a few really good ones in that canyon, but there's better hillclimbs out at Spangler Hill (Trona). The single track is also good at Spangler and it's legal to ride there.

Cool vid. Skipped the first 3 minutes. Hillclimb wheelies and under-fender footage was entertaining. Could have been cut down to about 5 min. in my ADHD opinion. Squirrel!

Great video. Spent some time out in jawbone when I was stationed at Edwards. Lots to do there whether you have a bike, quad or just driving the canyons in your 4x4.

First time I ever went to Jawbone in the late 80's saw some guy methodically tool a CR500 up one of those steep rocky canyon walls no shirt just helmet pants and boots knobby tires and stock swingarm. Still to this day probably the most impressive riding skills I've witnessed

Thanks guys! And loving the old stories, there are endless stories of that place, such epic riding. What's the hands down biggest and baddest hill in the canyon?? Anyone have pictures or video??

This video got me thinking; four-strokes must clearly dominate in hillclimbs.

Completely bad ass! Riding and filming and editing were all on point and had me amped watching and wanting to ride! Only critical thing I could possibly say was forget about the intro and just get straight into the action. Great video none the less, keep it up

Two strokes are not as popular as they used to be. Everyone races a pumped up 450, with some pushing 75 hp. The 700cc class still has a good amount of CR500s, but top guys have been dropping big money big bore single cylinder 4 strokes, like YZ470Fs and the big bore KTM 660/690s.

Nice riding skills. One issue is we have very little riding area left to ride. Seeing a bike go up a hillside with vegatation on it gives those tree huggers more ammo. Might edit video to just show riding on current ridden tracks and trails.

Yeah I see how that can be an issue and was afraid of that! It's just hard to show the sport differently and the raw skill on pre-cut lines, it's like big-mountain skiing on fresh lines but going up, but unfortunately the lines stay unlike skiing in snow..

The first 2:30 were a complete waste of time but otherwise a good vid.

I don't know about hillclimb competition but I ride Jawbone a good bit with some pretty talented dudes and I see a very broad spectrum of bikes out there. This guy just rode a few hills near the main canyon. I don't think he would be such a badass in some of the tighter gnarlier stuff deeper in the hills on the south side of the canyon.

There's an old dude named Myron that practically lives down there. Wears full football/hockey style pads and rides a KTM550. That dude deserves his own video! Climbs those hills with one hand off the handlebar for fun. No joke!

I'd love to meet and ride with Myron! I've heard of him before, kind of a legend. I'd definitely shoot some video of him or something. But it would be cool if people pointed out some hills that "can't be climbed" so we can check them out. None of those hills in the video were particularly impossible or super challenging for Austin, he just took odd lines and tried to change it up. I'm almost certain nobody has climbed that one in the video that he bump started in and out of the creek!

Ohh man that sucks, I have heard that law enforcement is getting people riding out there, what the hell happened? Used to be some of the best riding around. Is it just where you park?
