5 Miles of Hell World Record! - 36:23 on the modded YZ250

Start - 1:33
Crux - 9:10
Finish - 37:56
Needed to make another attempt at 5 Miles of Hell after all the bike mods. It was for sure easier this time for two reasons. First off, the weather as great this time and I also had somewhat of an idea where I was going this time.

What really impressed me was how fast I did it the first time. If you've ridden this trail before, you know how rugged and relentless this terrain is.

I can't even count how many times I've tried modding the YZ since my last attempt that was essentially bone stock! I made a massive change for this run and it was the most positive mod in the right direction!! I did however have one big major issue on this attempt. For some reason the power valve wasn't actuating at all. I had been doing bike work most of the day before this and knew I was going to fix the governor spring setup after testing it. I should've put more time on the bike at home because it wasn't right.

We got it all fixed the day after filming this and the bike feels great now. I keep getting closer and closer and proud of where it's current status is at. I will share further details of the setup soon! Now that I got the bike even better, already planning my next attempt at 5 Miles of Hell.

Suspension setting was a huge improvement from my last attempt. The guys over at Race Tech and my friend Tyler at Applied Technology have my bike feeling so good right now. I will have Tyler with me this weekend at the Moab Hard Enduro, so it will be good to have him there to make subtle improvements moving forward.

If you're looking to have suspension work done, reach out to Tyler at Applied Technology and let him know I referred you.

For those asking what tires I'm running. It was the IRC 120/100 JX8 in the rear and 90/90 VX30 in the front.

I have watched a number of videos of people riding this trail. This is a sobering display of the difference between a professional racer and the rest.

The two guys standing at the Crux just had their minds blown! 🤯 Epic video! Also, this makes me never want to watch any of my 5 miles gopro footage again!😂

Great job Cody! Glad you went back and did it right. Now it's up to the other burros to beat your time. If you enjoy watching Cody as much as I do send him a "Super Thanks" and put some cash in his pocket.

[ZeroTTK]

Cody you need to start recording in 4K brother, this content is really good!

[enduro]

I did this 2 days before you and you still almost passed me out there🤣

[danaildanailov]

It is so unfair to make us watch that video on 2X speed, I missed all the challenging spots😅. Thanks for putting out that great content Cody, it is amazing!

The most impressive thing here to me is how well he did on this sand. I'm from Florida and consider myself a good sand rider but the sand on this trail was practically impossible to ride well on Wednesday when I ran it and he had none of the issue I did. Sick run. GoPro really flattens out all of the obstacles.

And Codes, brilliant ride! Would love to see Ryan have some rebuttal ride and maybe a head-to-head if the stars align someday!

[joeybuckingham]

Ive personally rode this trail, this time is crazy fast! Nice work Cody!

[musicbox]

Having ridden this trail a handful of times— this is absolutely amazing

[Pompomgrenade]

For the state of Utah to willfully paint little white lines out there, and allow us access 😔 is like a gift from the gods 🦂... I definitely need to hit that trail

[CoolEyeColorado]

Awesome time dude! We were out there last week doing the trial backwards. Such fun out riding in Utah!

[jesseleblanc]

Fantastic job to the fourth power, especially when considering that you just had just one brake!!!! Yamaha needs to be proud!

[twohotgtuwarner]

Looking dam good on the bike, Cody.. It looks like you starting finally flowing with Yamaha real good. Good luck, man. i will be watching.

[AdventureAryck]

I’m excited to see Cody take his second win at Moab Hard Enduro this weekend!

[natefenn]

Food for thought Blake if you’re reading this, a Burrows showdown on the 5 miles of hell loop, everyone miked up on Senna’s or Cardo’s so you can extrapolate the audio and then also your helmet cams so we can have an interactive commentary while they race each other. Might be something the people like 🤷🏼‍♂️

[bobbyhampton]

A world record and only one tree. Sounds like a good day to me. Let’s go!

[MrAshrr]

Last time we were out there we did it in about an hour and twenty. We were pretty impressed with ourselves at the time but this is insane!

[SAAVEDRA]

We need a YZX with a few modifications. We're not asking for a completely new bike. But just a few, and it'll be the king of the market.

Please, Yamaha, do it.

So we attempted this trail 2 days ago. We've done it several times. My buddy broke his arm at the 15:23 ish mark, and we then went into rescue mode. It took us 1 hr to get to the 9:48 time stamp, frickin humbling. Broken left forearm, bones shattered. He walked approximately 2 miles before he could be doubled back to the parking area. We had camped at Temple Mtn, and road 18 miles, prior to starting 5MOH. Not a good idea. Surgery tomorrow for him in
