Summer 2008 ATV trips to the Pembina Gorge
December 27, 2010
A compilation of video from atv trips to the Canadian border in North Dakota. The songs are Cochise by Audioslave and Power Trip by Monster Magnet. Where we are riding is the Pembina River Valley, or Pembina Gorge and it is north of Langdon, ND and just southwest of Morden, Manitoba. Most of the riding is done on a Polaris Outlaw 525. We also shoot trap and chop some wood, MANTAGE!!!! Nowhere near as cool as the Flagstaff Fury videos, but that’s pretty much what got us started making these videos so check them out, just search Flagstaff Fury. Edited by Kyle Dunnigan.

Got something to say?
Dude,
How do I find this place? I’ve been searching Google Earth to find how to get there but I can’t pinpoint it. I live 200 miles away and don’t want to drive there unless I can find it. Can you help?
hahahaha NORTH DAKOTA is the place of “UNKNOWN”
Seems like an awesome weekend. 4 wheeling, Shooting and burnfires.
nice vid boys, looks like you had a real good time, quading, shooting, loads of beers as well no doubt??..good 1 🙂
Both dirt bikes and quads right the trails here. There aren’t any tracks nearby, although they do have a hare scramble race down the river a couple miles every year. I don’t know if I’ve been down to the area they run that though.
Looks like a cool place to ride. Were there any dirt bike areas or tracks? Or was it mostly quad trails. I’ll be there this July.
I have seen their land vehicles, but never down in the gorge where we ride. I’m actually kind of surprised about that, but I would think that they are more than aware of where we are most of the time and since so many people ride down there they don’t get too worked up about it.
Yes the border patrol would also have land vehicles patrolling the border. I can only imagine what those farmers who have land on both sides of the border must feel. LOL
I suppose that they would be american choppers since they were flying over us on the U.S. side but it is hard to say for absolute certain. One came during the day while we were cutting firewood and just stared at us for the longest time. Looked like any regular helicopter to me. The other one was harder to see what it looked like because it was dark and they were shining a spotlight on us. They do patrol the area regularly with Predator UAV’s as well I am told.
American or Canadian helicopters? Good to see that you use the border itself as a trail. Nice to see that our border is still the longest undefended and a spirit of recognition and mutual respect exists between the two countries.
No, never a problem. We have had helicopters come and hover right over us a couple times, one time spotlighting us while we were sitting around a campfire, but never any sort of trouble. We camp about 300 yards south of the border. The border itself is cut through the forest, so we use the border as a trail quite often. There are a few trails that cross over and come back.
No problems getting close to the border?
Thanks, it was a lot of fun to make!
Great Video !
