I did half of the NV bdr and all of the Idaho bdr in August of 2022 on my Royal Enfield solo. I had enough food and alcohol for a week. I started just south of Austin NV with $300. When I got to Montana I ran out of money. But a friend wired me another $300 🙄.Met lots of good people super fun. 👍
Another AWESOME Adventure! I gotta ask, is that some kind of Cot you unfolded for your sleeping bag. We camp a lot and I would love to have something like that maybe in concert with a Thermorest. Incredible cinematography, you have a gift for telling a story!
These videos are great. I thought you said you were going to ‘play it safe’ and go to Twin Falls to get a new clutch for the XR650. It doesn’t seem like Twin Falls is near there. But then you’re covering all this ground on a dirt road and camping. It would be helpful if you have captions every minute or 2 saying where you are maybe and show a map with the location. I can only guess that you are not going to get a new clutch pack, but are going north on the BDR from Jarbidge to do the BDR with the bad clutch. Confusing. Also it would be very helpful to know if the dirt road going north from Jarbidge on the BDR is just as bad when wet as whatever road you were on where you got stuck so people will know whether or not they need to avoid it if it has rained in the last several days.
From jarbidge, we went to twin falls on an alternative, more asphalt oriented route. This allowed us to see if the damaged clutch would hold up. By the time we got into Twin falls, we decided the damaged clutch could handle riding further north. So, we left twin falls, and got back on the dirt at Glens Ferry going north to Trinity Mountain. Also, most of the dirt surrounding Jarbidge seems to be an issue when wet.
Maybe get to watch more as you’re doing a great job! Just wanted to say hi from another father/son riding pair. We did (try) the IBDR in July 2022. Unfortunately bad spring snowstorms kept some sections closed even in early July. Lots of reroutes. We did get 6 days and 1300 miles in. I love the riding time with my son and I’m sure your dad does with you too! From another father, thank you 🙏
The shared experiences are priceless!! Regardless of arriving at the destination or not, you guys got to spend 6 days exploring this incredible state together. Those memories will always be there. I was really happy I got to share that experience with my own dad.
Trinity mountain area is beautiful. The view from the lookout is incredible. was up there a couple of years ago. What an adventure. I hope to do the entire IDBDR route sometime. Have done only sections while riding local trails. It's hard to find someone who wants to go and has the time.
Next episode is Trinity summit! I highly recommend doing the full route if you can!! It is an incredible experience to have from start to finish. I hope to continue to run bigger and bigger filming projects like this in the future and I’m looking for partners, so I understand that. I’ve always felt if the ride can be done in the day, it can be done alone. Once you’re out there past sunset, have another person with you!
Thank you! I think when I initially edited the series, I loved the second half (since my editing improved) and I wanted to make sure the first half of the series was edited better too! Glad you enjoyed.
Nice Job, enjoyed the cinematography. Pros make it look easy on their big bikes, but it’s interesting to see how fast things can go wrong with us mere mortals. IBDR is on my bucket list anyway tho🤷♂️ Looking forward to the next one !
Thanks! If you like cinematography, you'll like episodes 3,5 and 7 a lot. Episodes 1,3,5,7 were my favorites to edit. I think you should absolutely ride the IDBDR when you get the chance! Its really an amazing experience and it lets you appreciate the state for all that it is.
Enjoying this one man! We were in the Sawtooths from the 29th-Aug 5th of 23. Bet we were close to each other. My buddy has a mining claim up near Ross Forks and Bear Creek. If you get up that way don't miss that. Some of the best riding we've ever done. We turned and headed north to Stanley. Then on to Challis and Salmon. We have red mud here out east, but that red lava mud is different man. We were on the tour of Idaho t3 route between Challis and Salmon and got in a storm like you guys and completely stopped our tires too. Luckily we were on tw200s and the big tires helped but it was still rough man. I have it all documented on here on the Idaho playlist if you wanna check it out. No joke though, that area up Near smoky bar store, paradise creek, low water gulch, and ross forks is a must on a dirt bike. Enjoying this series! Familiar sites make me wish I was there on the bike again!
I'll have to check those areas out some time man! I've thought about trying to do a tour of idaho.. Maybe someday I will be prepared enough for something like that. I'll check out your playlist! Glad you're enjoying the series so far dude!
@madjack_757 yea man, the t3 isn't much harder than the bdr. It's more geared for dual sports with gear. I have the gpx file for the latest one I can share with ya. The t1 is something else! We hit a bit of it here and there. Since you did the single track way up above that river you wouldn't have any trouble! 23 was the last year for it as a sanctioned event unfortunately, but it's all public trail.
@PSBEadventures honestly it’s better that way! I can take more time to film something when it’s not a race you know! Definitely send me that file if you’re willing to 🤟🏼
Incredible scenery.. im shocked we dont see ppl catching dinner, as in trout.. in Idaho.. THat is what i would be doing.. As i carry a fishing backpack on my adv bike... That is what you can expect on the CenCaBORL 1100 mile off road loop.. Catch and cook... Right here in central California. please take a look.. we are gaining momentum.. 9 legs or take shorter routes of 400, 600 and 900 mile looped sub routes of the 1100 mile route. The shorter routes use hwy 120 thru Yosemite as the connector, where as the 1100 mile route, does not enter any National Park.
I really thought about bringing a rod on that trip with me! Next one I will. Email me more about that route! Maybe I could create a film for it and increase its momentum for you guys!
Glad you like the series! That project was a great one to work on and I’m super stoked for the future of the channel. I have a few little videos I’m working on and then I’ll be back focusing on larger projects in the near future 🤟🏼
Calling Jarbridge a "town" is a bit of stretch lol, but it is!! Spent the night there in October of '23, great place to visit, but doesn't look like a great place to get get stuck! Glad you got out ok. Great video! NVBDR section 6, including charleston-deeth county rd, which i think souldve been included in the BDR is phenomenal!
Yeah if you blink, you'll miss it as you ride through! Tell me more about the NV BDR. I have a lot of filming trips coming up for this spring/summer/fall season and the NV BDR is something i've thought about. What is it like?
@@madjack_757 Well I've only done a couple of sections, but section 6 is Elko to Jarbridge, and the BDR has you take pavement for a decent segment of it. instead I highly recommend taking Charleston-Deeth County Road to/from Elko. It's a beautiful dirt road through epic scenery. Sounds like you're editing all your footage though which is great!! I am behind so much on editing lol. The series I am doing now is from June of last year. Did parts of the NVBDR and IDBDR back in October. Glad I found you channel, good stuff!
If I do the NVBDR, I will have to check those areas out! It is crazy how much work goes into editing as I'm sure you know lol. This whole series was probably 6 months in the making. I was editing in the mornings and nights before/after college classes and comin home from work. Now thankfully I am working full time at this which is exciting! Hoping to keep the flow of videos going! I have a couple videos coming that I am VERY excited to show. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!@@BriOnH
Great job on the filming, editing narration. Here’s an old guy tip - if you are in a hotel, 14:21 stick the hair dryer into your boots to help dry them out. It at least gets them warm! Looking forward to future episodes. Ride safe!
Thanks so much! Its funny, I actually looked for one in the motel we were at, but there wasn't one sadly. The town we were staying in for the two days must have had less than 50 full time residents and so we were just lucky to get a room in general..
Thanks for the support!! I think that you could take parts of the route for sure. You will just need to be aware of the sections where it could become more washed out or narrower. I think navigating through mud could be a challenge if you run into any as well. Most of the route is wide enough for a van though 🤟🏼
If you encounter wet boots again, find some news paper. Crumple it up into loose balls and fill your wet boots over night, The paper will soak up the water. Might have to change the paper 1-2x depending on how wet you boots are
I hope all these are uploaded before I leave this summer! Quick question, I'm doing it alone, need somewhere to leave my car in Jarbridge, I wonder if you know a place the might allow that? I'll be doing it out and back.
They all should be uploaded by early march! the majority of the changes to the series were in the earliest episodes with only minimal changes to the last 3 episodes. Honestly Jace (the guy who pretty much runs everything in town) would be your guy to talk to for leaving your car! Best of luck on the journey!!
Park City Utah. It's too far to ride my 501 just to get to the beginning. I'll be alone too. Maybe it would be best to start at section 2, find a place near Pine.@@johno1142
We loosened the cable to get just enough bite outta the clutch to keep going! I'll try not to spoil too much of the coming episodes, but we have to do a full clutch rebuild in episode 4.
Question about your vest that you are wearing. It looks like you have a sidearm holstered on your left chest. If so, what brand is it, I would love to carry in a easy access location. Thanks
Yessir. I carry every day and especially when I am riding in the mountains alone. The vest is a Klim vest and I attatched a pretty simple IWB holster with a retention strap to hold my pistol. I was carrying an MP Shield Plus (9MM).
@@madjack_757 thanks again, I will look into it for myself. I carry something, but I am more worried about creepy people than wildlife. Also, it must be cool to ride with your father, what a great adventure to share. 👍🏻
It could have been. In episode one, we got stranded and were helped by a rancher in the area. I just never caught the name of the ranch sadly.@@johnbishop1911
Your production skills are incredible. The BDR team should employ you to do their next BDR documentary.
Thanks so much! I have been in touch with them so we will see what happens 🤞🏼🤞🏼
WOW. Just wow. Incredible intro, great video, great scenery. Very well done
Just the beginning! More videos to come and Hopefully another big filming trip happening this summer.
Wow!

Incredible cinematography, you have a gift for telling a story!
Thanks so much! I have a cot and a little bivy to sleep with! Its super easy to pack and is perfect for the ADV riding.
Outstanding videography.
Ironically episode 2 was my least favorite! Keep an eye out for episodes 3,5,& 7. They are the most cinematic in the series 🤙

wow I never thought of that… great tip!
Good idea!@@GH-rt8ih
Chopping wood with flip flops 😮 cool video though. Good job 👏🏼
Gotta do what ya gotta do lol. Thanks man!

Do you think you can take a full 4x4 van on this route. I’m about to tackle Arizona BRD ! Then Idaho.

We started at a place called Grassmere in Southern Idaho and took dirt service roads down South across the ID-NV border and into Jarbidge
