Coalmont OHV park to Whitwell TN 72 miles exploring ride
Absolutely a perfect day to get out and ride, just Charles and myself. We started from Coalmont OHV park in Tracy City TN, and rode a bunch of the "park" trails before making our way SE, through bear pen holler to the rock overlook. This trail was very overgrown and will require some chainsawing soon as vegetation continues into springtime. From here we continued over to the 1929 mine, we did not stop as there was crowd of people being drunk and belligerent all over the place and continued back across the highway and started into "the cove" making our way back to the parking lot. We made it back about 6:30 PM with 72 miles behind us with zero issues.

Taylor Park CO Day 3 Iron Chest mine, Grizzly Lake
Переглядів 56610 місяців тому
Lots of technical riding in this video. The gatekeeper on Grizzly lake keeps it pretty quiet, but a beautiful trail after the start. Iron chest mine will get your blood pumping quick and will be for most of the trail to the top. Not much room for error in places on this one. An awesome trail that reminds me a lot of back home. 56 miles of FUN!!
Taylor Park to Aspen CO 145 miles Day 2 in the Can Am X3
Переглядів 13811 місяців тому
I decided to take Jody's old X3 for the day since there is not a ton of challenge on this trip. We ran from Taylor park reservoir to the ski station above Aspen which is as far as you can go as Aspen no longer allows SxS in the town. Not much exciting stuff on this ride, but it is incredibly scenic. 145 miles, no issues.

I lost one of my best friends during the night, Jody Tompkins. For those who did not know, he battled colon cancer for nearly 7 years, and had been in hospice for 54 days. He was 49 years old. One of the finest men I have ever met. A man who loved God, family, and his country. We shared so much time together in the mountains riding and exploring, multiple cross country trips west. He taught me ...

It looks like most of these machines are 55" and maybe some 65"? Has anyone ever took a jeep on this?
Did you park at the ohv park?
Beautiful day for a ride.
Subscribed 👍
Can jeeps ride this trail? A thumbs up for the video 👍
Great video. What trail was this?
This is coming up "V Rock". There is not a trail number.
Ive been looking at those tires lately, whats your thoughts on them after running them a while?
They are too narrow IMO. I think the XTR 370 is the perfect all around tire and wear very well.
Great day 👍
Great video cool watch
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
I have seen AC cave (Mandys Cove) with water up to where you parked.
WOW!!! That is unbelievable. I wont be attempting!!@@Mudcon
Beautiful day for a ride
Jody wherè is Coalmont OHV in Tn? Is it a 4 wheeler and side by sides trail only? Im just looking for a 4 x 4 trail thats not to bad close to me to go get away sometimes.. ive heard of it but cant remember its been a while. I preciate the video and i hope yall have a good day!
Coalmont OHV park is located in Tracy City, TN. I have been there 4 times in the last 3 months and I have not saw one jeep/truck. Just SxS or ATVs only. It is a very nice, well marked area, with a nice parking area/general store. I would highly recommend checking it out.
@JodyT OK thanks I realy preciate this! I will try to check them out buddy! Yall take care!
You do the same! @@Tommy-rr7ez
Good one . Thanks for video!
Glad u kept the channel going for sure I thought a lot of Jody T
I am glad, we all did. He was a great friend. It is my pleasure to keep the channel going.
Good tip on the bolt shank!!
This cave is underwater now.
for the camera shots, I think while carrying a pace through the trail, the one looking over your left shoulder is good. for the lower speed crawling, it is good seeing the center of the cab. I ride 4 wheelers, so I don't know the layouts of the switches, but I am assuming you are turning lockers on and off. It is neat to get that perspective. Anyways, Just watching so I can get a preview of some of the trails that I have not yet taken there. My son is 9 and we have hit all of the green trails, and I don't know that he is ready for anything more than green for now. I will be hitting up some of my friends and we will take some of the blue trails.
Looks like a great day in the woods!
Great video, thanks for sharing and showing trail tags.
Enjoy all the videos, thanks for upload, I lost a garmin up there, older Montana model,
I like both camera shots. A mix of both. Good job.
So glad to see the channel still going. You make us all proud C! I hope you continue to have great fun! We love you and want you to know that it brings a smile to our faces to see these videos! I know Dad would be so proud!
Thank you buddy!! I hope to continue to make him proud. I would like to come see you all soon. C
What radios you use?
What storage box are you carrying in the passenger seat?
Hey man, nice video ! those are some beautiful mountains you have there ! Cheers !
Thank you, taylor park Colorado.
Looks like a good trip!
Curious what map you use
I use lifetime trail map on a tablet., but the Cotrex app works really nice for riding in Colorado. Thanks
Great day in the woods!
JodyT would be proud.
Did you move to colorado from WV or is this an older trip?...Just curious Looks like a AWESOME trip and keep the good adventures flowing
Myself(Corey) still live in East Tennessee. Jody also lived in East Tennessee as well. While it is a beautiful place, I have no intentions of living in CO.
Everyone, I am not sure what has happened to the last few minutes of this video. My apologies.
Crazy how fast the level changes on Mirror Lake. We were out there in August and drove through a lot of water on that trail. Also, not sure if you know, but your video goes black on the Napoleon Pass part.
What size tires are you running? See any problem with a Can Am X3 Max (4 seater) making it through that rock garden at the beginning? We are running 30's.
Glad you did the on-board footage so people know how crazy this really is. I just did it in my pro r and almost pussed out 😆
Its good to see the channel back up. Jody would be happy to see it. I need to get back and ride with you guys again. Cd has my number
That last spot on Carr was a bit hairy...
Yes it has gotten nearly impassible in a few places. Even the "bypasses" are in bad shape. Definitely not for the novice rider.
Jody was my Neighbor even though him and I didn't see eye to eye that much I had a great deal of respect for him. Sending my condolences to Sarah and his kids. Rest in Peace Jody
I've been following you for a few years now and love and appreciate the ride-alongs. What do you think about the seating position/visablility in the Can Am vs your old RZR? Better or worse? Not that much difference? I know that the Can Ams have a more sports car like ride position to them yes? I was curious about your take. I'm a big dude and it seemed that while I'm a Can Am fanboy that maybe the RZR Pro R might be more suited to me.
Gonna miss his videos, he made it look so easy. Met him one night at windrock by accident and let him borrow my spare to get back to camp. "Give err a gallon" buddy
Sorry for your loss. Always a good time wheeling with family blood or not.
Love ya bro. Rest easy and we will catch you on the other side. 👍💔
RIP Jody
I didn't know him. I just remember watching his Tackett Creek videos when I first got my Pioneer. I used his videos to gauge what trails I thought I could actually make in the Pioneer.
Condolences to all family and friends!!
Wow, so sorry for your loss. I am glad to hear he was right with God, I know that gives family so much peace during times like this. I know riding in the woods I often find myself talking to God and it is one of the places I feel closest to him. I am praying for your family during this time.
RIP Jody.
Very good video. It was good to hear Buck coaching in the video. These videos mean so much more now that they are gone to see them riding and hearing their voices. We all need to live life how they rode the trails, technical trails with fearlessness.
Definitely will miss my friend! Corey you did a GREAT job putting this video together. Buck and Jody are back riding together just waiting on us to get up there with them. 🥰
