Congratulations Brian! Great job !!. And thanks for helping me figure out what happened at 18:06. You were right behind me capturing the accident. I can't believe this guy didn't break his leg. His boot was sucked in by my rear tire and somehow he got up and was fine. He did say he was done for the day, so I am sure he was in pain, but I asked him if he was OK and he said yes...

Omg.. that was all brand new spec stuff when I started riding again in that era.. 86-90

Any chance you could share the GPX file for this part?

I bet this was easy for you after the tour of Idaho. Keep making videos.

When you laid it over in the stream I felt so bad for you and then I felt happy when it started

I was in a poker run with Malcolm Smith one time. I did not know him but he was in the same one as me I was on a 500 husky. He was an amazing rider, you are both from the same stuff as Malcolm Smith. You're very correct in being nervous around the side hills. Especially the ones that we could see in the film because as a dirt Rider I know that was a lot steeper than the camera showed. I've been riding over 50 years and I'll tell you a trick that I would use in desert races and in cross-country events that worked every time on those terrible off-camber hills. I would simply lean in just a little bit with my head toward the mountain, but I would have my downhill side elbow sticking out and my downhill side knee sticking out, by doing that you drive the knobs of both tires into the mountain and you can pass 20 people at a time in most off-road events on and off-camber I've done it. It's unnerving and you hesitated because you're brilliant and you don't want to croak out there. Thanks for those videos wow, I'm getting my dual sport ready this winter with my brother-in-law he has the same thing and we're going to hit the hills even though I'm almost 70 and he's almost 60 it doesn't matter as long as you're in shape enough to stay on the bike and not crash.

I've been riding since 1965. I've ridden in the desert a lot and that one place where you flipped over backward I felt so bad for you. In a couple of years I'll be 70 years old. Riding along on this video that you shared with everybody is a dream come true but you're the hero out there that did it.

I saw the video from the guy in the beginning you reved at then passed. As you road off he calls u a jerk 😂😂😂

You should be proud of what you accomplished, planning, riding, filming, inspiring others. But I would want to go back and try the Northern part of Idaho regardless of if they canceled the contest.

Is this day 4 footage the same route that you declined to show last year? I just wondered because I will never ride it but have liked watching.

Once more into the fray.

This is a relatively easy enduro - against Red Bull Romaniacs.

Nice job bud. Cool editing on Your video. Let’s see now, last race you ran over my bike, this race you t-boned me. If I go missing, they will know who to look at. 3 more races to go. I’m working next race, I’ll be there to cheer ya on

Congrats Brian ! Great race ! And great to have yet another C-Super senior video. I thought it was just Bill and myself posting. I just watched Woodchopper too in your channel and subscribed. I will miss Paradox, but planning to race the one after it. Hopefully I see you there!

My nipple got ripped off! lol good footage and riding BG!

Hey did you notice that right before you finished your 1st lap ... you looked back and I was right behind you ...

Wow... what a perspective... that was insane... I was mistaken what you said for sure... LOL it wasn't "I'm really sorry for running over your bike" hahahah seeing it from your camera, I can see I keep sliding out for some reason. That happened throughout the entire race, drove me up a wall. You are super smooth.. One day my friend, one day when You, Mr. Stryker and Eduardo take the day off, I might just get 1st for once. But until then, just remember I'm gonna be right behind you. or 10 or 15 bikes behind you ... but behind you none the less..

Bikes not NH legal. Missing a mirror. Reported. ;)

Looking forward to the event!!

Awesome job. I am curious, why didn’t you use mousse tubes? I’m planning on a BDR in April and using mousse.

Wow, Awesome vids, watched all 3 episodes. I camped in my RV Toy Hauler near the Smokey Bar Store for 5 days. Rode many of the trails in that area each day, out and back to my RV. Been following the TOI for several years, have ridden several of the sections but am quite sure, at 75 yrs old now, that the TOI is a No Go. Kudos to you for your effort !!!

Excellent video!

Brian, what a great video! I remember each section of your video as it was yesterday. I did Day 5 in 2022 and I nearly remember these memories every single day! We had ice on the seat of our bikes when we started Day 6 in the early morning 😉 Tx. Thomas alias Jack Maynard

not 32?34?

Got to be 33.....

Thanks for sharing this adventure with us!! The weather was spectacular for you and the scenery is awesome. I gotta get out there one day from PA.

Wow....just wow. I have lived in Idaho my entire 70 years and 4 days ago, when I clicked on your very first 2022 video, was the first time I heard of this event. In those past 4 days I have watched each of your series with anticipation and wonderment at the amazing scenery and the rough riding conditions. What amazing memories you captured that will be with you forever. I found at the end of the day 7 video, I felt emotional at the towel throw...Respect, and well done Sir....well done.

Great video! Do you know why this tour is now canceled?

Excellent video. The music made me want to hang myself.

I just watched your 2022 and 2023 TOI vlogs over the last four or five days. What an incredible journey! Outstanding job in the challenges and on the vlog. It was like binge watching a great TV mini-series.

Great video is it really 100 miles a day and what would you rate the terrain moderate or challenging thinking of doing it this year thanks.

I’m trying to start a dirtbiking based TH-cam channel. How did you start? Any tips?

Woah that printed GPS screen is really cool 😂😅

what battery do you use?

It is so fantastic to watch this after having ridden it. Thank you for making this video.

How difficult is this race compared to other hare scrambles? Videos are hard to judge the steepness and difficulty level.

You are an incredible inspiration! thank you so much for providing this series to us! I can’t wait to see what you have planned next!!

I lost a counter shaft bolt early on a three day ride. Rode the rest of the trip without it. Now issues. Very impressive vids. Hard enough to put the hours in but to film it is overtime.

Great videos!! I would love ride all that at once but at my own pace. lol. I’m from MT. There is nothing better than being in the back country away from everything and everyone!

I'm so glad you're back for a 2023 trip! I loved your 2022 videos, they're so inspiring, one day soon I'll start chipping away at the tour. Does anyone make roadbooks for these trails yet?

This has to be one of the best motorcycle endurance videos I’ve seen. I was in awe the entire video. I felt every kind of emotion watching this video. Excitement, nerves, and jealousy. Ha, I’m so damn jealous 😂 Thank you for sharing your experience with those of us with the same interests as yours. I am truly inspired by you!!! I live in Oregon at the moment, till I can move back to Boise, three years from now after I retire. This is a bucket list, but I’ll be 57 when I can retire, so I’ll have to wait till then. I’m not sure I’ll be able to complete the course, but that won’t stop me from trying 😁 Till then, I’ll just have to watch your videos. Again, I fully enjoyed this!!

Is that a husky 501?

The Tour of Idaho solo is easily analogous to climbing Everest solo. The ability and intellect required to stop the ride or the climb can save your live and allow future adventures in those domains. Adventures at this level are seldom successful given the numerous opportunities for failure because of weather, rider error, or machine failure. Thanks for sharing your amazing adventure, and especially for being intelligent enough to survive it. Great video editing and photographic skills also!

Mile 98.5 reminds me of riding above treeline on the Alpine Loop in Western, CO. I am amazed to see you riding this section sitting down!

Well done and thanks for the videos!

Thanks for sharing this adventure.

Love Idaho, I need to get back out there

I've gotten hooked on your TOI video series. What other GPOS units have you used for riding? I have used a Garmin 176, 276C and currently have a 478. They are all the same form factor. I like the detailed mapping they offer for off-highway riding. For a short time I had a 276CX (2020) but I hated it because it was very slow to redraw the maps when zooming in and out, so I sold it after the 2020 riding season and kept using my 478. The 478 seems to have a minor issue with the screen not being as bright as it used to be, so I think it's time to replace it. Maybe the Montana 700 is what I need. On my Tenere 700, I started using a Zumo XT, but it really lacks the level of detail for backcountry riding I am accustomed to with the old school Garmins I've been using.
