Exploring Moab Part 1: Mountain Biking Amasa Back
Moab, located in eastern Utah, cannot be described as anything less than an adventure paradise. With otherworldly terrain, extensive trail systems, easy access and world class community support, it's a place we've always dreamed of exploring.
For Part 1 of our series, we find our incredible team of cousins and uncles spending the day ripping around the Amasa Back system. One of the classic rides of Moab. It ascends from Kane Creek on the Colorado River just west of Moab, climbing up onto an outcropping of rock surrounded on three sides by the Colorado.
One of the highlights is that it easily links up with other area trails. For example, when combined with Pothole Arch, Rockstacker, and Captain Ahab, it's a 27km 914m vertical adventure through technical challenges.
Make sure you DO NOT underestimate the heat and the dehydration factor. Even in the fall, our team was nearly crippled towards the end of our 6 hour ride by the brain-melting heat and the rate at which we consumed our drinks. Play it safe and take WAY more than you need... You never know who you might be able to help out along the way.

Drone Views - Amasa Back Access Trail in Moab, Utah
Here are some aerial views of mountain bikers at the start of the Amasa Back Access Trail along Hunters Canyon in Moab, Utah. This trail connects to the HyMasa/Captain Ahab (I think) trail system.
The bright desert was rough to film and the exposure was tough to control so the video may look wonky from time to time. I need to learn the camera in manual mode.
Thanks for watching.... subscribe, like, comment or dance like John Travolta.

Rockstacker & Jacksons Moab Utah 2018
A Fun day in the Amasa Back area of Moab.
The route we rode this day was 18.5k starting from the car park at the end of Jackson's. Start by riding up clifhanger (the jeep track) then an out and back on the pothole arch trail, linking onto Rockstacker then finishing on Jackson's.
Really epic riding, some of the sections were super tech. There was no way I was going to risk busting myself and missing out on more riding, so I rode well within my limits. Needless to say, some sections were walked.
Some of Jackson's is quite exposed as you can see. You are able to choose your pace down though which is nice. Its not like riding an exposed slip and slide. There is plenty of grip and its easy to stop if you need.
Thanks for watching!

Moab Mountain Biking - A Trail Analysis For Intermediates
This video is for experiencing Moab around 2010 and the trails before the big trail building effort started soon after. There weren't many single track trails back then and we biked motorized trails such as Sovereign and Poison Spider. Porcupine Rim was just that, no upper trails were marked and mapped. No one talked about The Whole Enchilada.
Today we shoot with gimbals for a smoother view, but back then 1080p was just starting to be popular so this video stood out from all the 720 content. We used cameras attached to our helmets and bikes. Now we mount the gimbal and camera on our chests and the view experience is much more engaging.
I shot all of this video on cross country bikes with 110mm of travel or less. Now MTB videographers shoot from trail or all mountain bikes with 140mm to 180mm. We can ride wilder trails like Capitan Ahab.
This video was once at the top of the search results and had over 10,000 views and a bunch of likes until I moved it from my personal channel to this one. I was once almost as well known from Santa Cruz to Fruita as Nate Hills and Bruce Kennedy (BKXC). It is their turn now :-)
Enjoy the nostalgia!
