Great to see another posting from CDS - and an epic trio traversing Black Bear Pass. We can hear your heart beating through the speakers. Serious butt-puckering moments on the Steps! Well-done, fellas. And may 2018 bring you many more excellent rides.

ANYbody who does that trail on any kind of motorcycle deserves a medal or something. I'm from the Eastern US and no 'freaking way you would ever find me on that trail! I wouldn't even want to walk it, let alone bike it! The steepness and the "trail" dropoffs would terrify me. (and I use the term "trail" very loosely here! haha) Great video! A little too much talking for my liking, but that's what mute is for. The scenery is fantastic!

amazing! thanks for sharing

Hell yea group audio rules man!!! Epic video

Looks like a great ride. I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota so not too far. Going to have to do this.

Wow man! Would have been cool to have one of those Google maps cameras that allow 360 degrees of filming. What an awesome place. You all have my respect. Thanks for the video

Same Dual Sport Rider! Good Adventure!

I was looking for something to do in 2018 and ran across your channel. This is good stuff! I truly enjoyed the last three days watching backcountry motorcycle porn after skiing. In fact, I texted one of my backcountry buds and we walked through this and the Red Cone video. Had a blast (at your expense). I'm heading down to Colorado this year. Thanks from a guy in Wa State!

Looked a lot better for you guys then when we went last summer, man there was so many 4x4's along the whole Trail big groups they kept stopping in the middle of the trail we spend most their time just working around 4x4's

Awesome video! 👍🏼

Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Did that one on my 530 before...Gopro doesn't do the steepness justice! That is such an intimidating and rewarding section on the Steps!

Thank you! Just be very careful on the steps if you are going to be loaded down. I easily could have gone over the bars if my butt wasn't on the rear fender. Any weight up high will be a problem.

great video, I like the audio

Great colors...nice footage.

Man this is like a dream ride, wish I could get some people together to do this

nice group adventure- wish I could put together the time and fellows to try this

Great video. At the end I by the blocked off road and cones, there was a whole line of cars and trucks. Did those all come down black bear? I saw a suburban in there. I ask bc I’m going out there in August and this is a dream of mine but I’m still not sure if I wanna chance it in a Yukon. (Tahoe) would love to get into the dual sport but the wife’s not keen on it.

Justin Daugherty the cars come up from telluride and park to hike and see waterfall. Cars could never cross black bear pass.

I love how close Telluride is to Hwy 550 and Ouray, yet it's still not really close because this pass is the only shortcut to get to Telluride without going around the entire mountains. I've been tempted to try it, I think I'll service my brakes first though. It doesn't look as technical as it looks scary.))

Correct, that one is properly nicknamed "The Long Way Round". Yes, make sure your breaks are in good order before heading out there. It's wicked fun going up, but could be very bad going down if you have a failure. Also, remember that the cameras make it look almost flat. It's not flat at all, but more straight down lol.

I have been watching a lot of your videos. I just wanted to let you know, that I truly enjoy them & to thank you for posting them. Our riding style is very similar, both enduro & Touring. You ride, where I want to ride & view the things I want to see. YES I like the longer ones & your commentary is enjoyable. Especially with Hermit. Change nothing, go explore where you live now, maintain your format & keep em coming. You hit your target audience. DO NOT let any negative comments alter your course. Best wishes to you & keep up the great work !

Thanks for that I'm planning a trip there from Oregon.I want to do all those passes. What are the roads that were blocked off where do they go. I saw a building up there on the edge when you came down the hill are these accessible.. Thanks great vids. God Bless ''''''RIDE ON""""

I do always carry while riding. I actually have a video about this subject if you want to look it up in the archive. It's called "things to know about carrying while riding" or something close to that. I've never had to use it, but I'd rather have it and not need it....or in my mind...having it means I won't need it. You shouldn't be afraid of wildlife. Hundreds of riders go out unarmed. I just choose to because I can and the reason above.
