Lost in the Forest? The Shocking Reason This Trail Disappeared

Hey, John here with Moto Off-Road Adventures. I'm up in Tennessee with Brock Gill from Moto Mission. He's gonna turn this muddy, wet forest into a two-day obstacle course and training ground. Let's see if I have what it takes to survive. Let's see how much fun we can have, how many times we can pick up the bike and conquer this course. It's gonna be a good one. Here goes nothing, let's see how we do. Oh man, all right. It rained all day yesterday and all day in the morning and it looks it. We're going to put these Tusk D-Sports to some work. All right, sounds like two bells. We officially get started. Let's warm up the bike. Our event is going to be held on about 120 acres of forested land out in Tennessee. Right now, which is kind of a muddy mess, but let's see how much fun or trouble. Oh, man, nothing is going to be easy around here. Already killed it. That was quick. That was quick. Well, it didn't take long to notice that the rain over the last day and a half took its toll on this property. I don't know if this will come out in the action camera, but this ground is a wet, soupy, muddy mess, and these wet leaves aren't helping at all. This is the first day of riding out here, so it's also kind of hard to follow where the actual path is, and I don't see any other riders, so cross your fingers and let's hope for the best. Alright, so it doesn't take long to figure out something isn't quite right. I know these are new trails. But I don't see any tire marks in front of me from the guys that were out front. I have a feeling I am already lost. The event has not even started. These leaves are just crazy slippery. And this won't probably come out in the action cam. But this is getting to be extremely steep. And I don't really want to come back up this muddy mess with pine needles, leaves, and rock faces. The other rider's got to be somewhere around here. I'm just missing something. Let's hope I don't get lost out here in the back of the property. This could get interesting. See, there you go. All is well that ends well. Found the other riders. We will group back up, get out of here, and actually go start the event. This has definitely been an interesting connection if I can just find even how to get to them. But at least I am not lost. I'll tell you what. I'm not even sure how to get over to these guys. This forest floor is just a wet, soupy mess now. I am obviously not on a trail. I don't know which way to go, and they are out here on dirt bikes, not even really duals. I'd give my butt and my adventure bike over to these guys. I go over these logs. There's a log jump up there. Okay. Good job. We lost the trail a long time ago. No. That kind of sucks, not going to lie. I'm not a fan of them being as lost as I am, and another log to go over. They're out here on dirt bikes, and yeah. Let's see if this log goes a little better than my last one. I envision that being much easier. Let's see if we can find our way out of here. Here goes nothing. I am not going to lie. After all of this rain and trying to squeeze through this forest muddy floor, I'd be a little over my head out here. Hopefully we can make it back, guys. Can we keep going down? We just did that circle and I don't think it's good. I think so. All right, guys, so... I'm getting lost on the expert course, going over trees and logs, just like I always do. Getting crazy and outdoing my skills. Easy way to ride in here. So let's see if we can safely find our way back. This has been super crazy. We don't know if we're still on their land. We're going to battle through the rest of this and hopefully find his land again. Super crazy. All right. Okay. I think we found the main path again. Uh, wow. It's standing up. Try not to take out any kids. Definitely above John's pay grade. Wanted adventure. I found adventure. Still hope I'm kind of going the right way. It looks like I am. All right, let's see if we can make it down this hill. Okay. Be watching this at home. Put this in the don't do file. Immediately find some crazy path outside your comfort zone. However, that being said, I made it. There we go. We have returned. We made it through! Not gonna lie here, kind of a crazy start to the adventure. It hasn't even officially started. The weekend obstacle course is about to start. I'm gonna need a little break, sit back and take a breather, and we'll get to this rest of this adventure very soon. Just trying to make an entrance. How you guys doing? That was effing crazy. I had to go over three logs because we got lost, but it's treating me pretty good. I'm the first person to drop and I drop it twice, but that was crazy. We were close to a horse trailer with a bunch of logs. We zigged instead of zagged. It was interesting. Yep, I figured when I saw the horse trailer and the trail got crazy. So way to go, Hemi.
