  • I needed a challenge and the South Island of New Zealand truly delivered on this one!
    My friend Charlie and I decided to go the hard, but extra fun way following the river from sea to alpine in search of an epic high-country hut to overnight in. It was worth a few scratches, falls and every bead of sweat!

      True that. Word of advice for ppl trying to replicate it with KTM. Don't do the water stuff. Their electrical connections are crap and you will get stuck. You can try to waterproof them of course.

    So much to say about this fantastic video. Its great to see you ride the big bike with some soft bags, seeing you guys fall ie mortal lol, and the incredible riding... the big jump over the creek and doing a wheely on a expert rock section makes me respect your riding that much more. A great video to watch days before a week long upcoming solo trip .

It’s intimidating just to stand next to it , let alone jump over creeks and go up rocks like Chris does here. You’re driving it like it’s a 250 enduro ha! Amazing skills Chris! Blows my mind!
