    Legend! I did a bike course with Birch. Sure I needed to learn some skills and he is easily the best instructor there is, but really just wanted to meet the legend himself…

    What a normal person can't do... absolutely speechless. A lot of mud, water, and he was riding like on the asphalt! Chris Birch is Chris Birch, period. Thanks for the video!

    Lift the front tire and put a log underneath the frame (put the log across the rut) and use the log as a lever to pry the back free.

    Brother, you like heavy bikes! DRZ-400 is heavy as I'll go. Got mine stuck in the mud flats in Utah. Had to walk out and come back the next day with a friend on a quad to get it out. I can't image pulling a DR-650 out. In any event, awesome videos you have.

    3 carabiners and a rope can make a drag line, a kind of force multiplying pulley system you can easily carry on a bike and doesn't take as much line length as a traditional block and tackle

  • @willakerberg2138

    Great stuff Chris . For pulling with the rope check out 9 to1 z pulley systems for crevasse rescue. Trust me, it is soo much easier. You can literally pull the bike out just using very little effort.
    I thought I'd let you know about this because I've learned soo much from your vids.
