Thank you! I had 2 GoPros, a Hero 10 attached to the bike, connected to USB with a 1TB flash card, so no worries about running out of juice or space. The second one was a Hero 11 and mounted on my chin, that I turned on only when I thought something interesting needed to be captured. The telemetry software is called "Telemetry Overlay". It reads the sensor information (GPS, accelerometer, gyro) from the gopro video stream and overlay on controls you select on the screen. You can also import GPX files if your gopro didn't capture GPS info. Then the rest is Adobe Premiere and After Effects

I'm game

What about the same thing but on at Yamaha T7? By Pol Tarres

You're so lucky to share this passion with your son Kelly! Happy father's day!

Woot woot!

Whaaat? You just obliterated my fantasies... now you all will have to deal with my BO 😂

Fun is very personal and subjective. I will tackle more technical obstacles with my Beta 300RR, but in the end, the definition of fun for me is the same for all types of bikes: there was a struggle, I applied skills to overcome the struggle, and I didn't die in the process.

YES! 😁

The first time I've ever set wheels on a dirt road was July of last year, and I had a 6 months hiatus due to an ACL reconstruction surgery, so I'm far from being an experienced rider. BUT, I made a conscious decision that in order to enjoy this sport, I needed to invest more in skills, and less on farkles. I'm happy with my skills today, and I will continue learning, practicing and riding to keep improving those skills. It's a lot more fun when you're not falling all the time and you can finish a trail without almost passing out. I will agree that there is a great number of riders that want the idea of what they see on videos, but are not willing to invest the time, money and discipline to get there. Listen, I have no illusions that I will become s supercross racer or do heel-clickers with my adventure bike, but there is still a loooong way for proficiency. I am after mastery, hoping to be a journeyman. I would love to ride with you at McCain. I have a feeling we have a lot of common acquaintances. While we can't make that happen, here's a video of the time I took the big bike to McCain:

"It's the carpenter, not the tool". I can ride most of McCain with the DDX almost as good as I ride with my 2T enduro bike. If you apply yourself to it, and you are disciplined about your learnship, you will get there.

I would strongly recommend Sedlak Offroad School. Not only is the class top notch (in Campo), but you get to know and ride with a lot of great people.

Here are my submissions:

Thank you for posting

I am - all 4 days (April 27-30). This will be my second one. Last time I had such a great time! The Zakar compound is really interesting. Lot's of activities going on at all time and I had the opportunity to properly dirt-test drive a couple of new ADV motorcycles.

@350thumper I'd love to go riding with you! Are you going to Get On Adv fest?

Hello folks! I've just completed BDR sections 1-3 and as expected from me, I got a ton of footage. I've decided to break it down into dirt road segments so the entire route is documented. I'll post some highlights as I go as well, but enjoy the full videos. For the people in the future - take these videos with a grain of salt, because as any dirt road, situation can change quickly after weather events, lack of road maintenance, or traffic. The first road of the BDR going south to north is Picacho Road. A good warmup, since it's a really easy freeway style road. Here it goes.

Love the video. That's not the typical CABDR route is it? Besides Intaglios wash, I don't recall any part being that technical.

To be fair, he would probably be able to ride a Hayabusa on those trails "it's not the tool, it's the carpenter"

It's too large for me. I have the original inserts and also bought thicker inserts to try to fit better, but it's too loose on the top of my head. It's lightly used and never dropped. Gray model. Comes with the clear visor and the transitions lens. I haven't thought about price yet - you know how much a new one costs and what a fair offer would be... If you don't know, the Klim Krios Pro is a top of the line adventure helmet, if not THE top helmet in the market. It has all imaginable bells and whistles, and it's the lightest one in the market.

It's L. And I bought the inserts for M as well. I will include those for free.

Hi all, Our BDR trip got postponed to the end of March. We got some spots that opened recently, so we have 2-3 spots open to our group. This is for INTERMEDIATE to EXPERT riders only. Group will be between 3 and 6 riders. The most important pre-requisite is a good can-do attitude. Recent riders reported that feared section 1 doesn't have deep sand anymore, and because of recent rains, dust is almost inexistent. PERFECT RIDING CONDITIONS for sections 1-3. We might not see that in a long time after now. The plan is: Mar. 24, [Friday evening] meet in Yuma Mar. 25, [Saturday] Section 1, hotel in Blythe Mar. 26, [Sunday] Section 2, 3 hotel in Primm As we get to Sahara Oasis, depending on how much daylight is available, we either continue to Primm off-road (end of section 3), or we take I-40 East to Needles Mar. 27, [Monday] Partial section 4 to Shoshone and starting to ride back to SD/LA using some segments of LAB2V route. Let me know if you'd like to join.

We are expecting and prepared for a lot of sand... although I read some reports on the facebook group that the feared section 1 is very tame now.

2 days to start, bike prep done, final packing underway!

That's how my wife shops for my birthdays too 😂

Looks like there's a (white) gate at the entry of Palomar Divide Road on 79 and another (yellow) gate at the entry of High Point Rd. on 79 in Aguanga. Are they usually open, or closed but unlocked?
