Dude. You're out there DOING IT. You have every right to be proud. YOU BUILT THIS. You created these opportunities-- and you're killing it. Those rocky hills are no joke. And you did it! Inspiration for us all.
Great video! I am in the same boat at 54 years old, 6'2" and 305 lbs, and out of shape. I'm where you were at two years ago in terms of skill and confidence on my 2022 KLR. I watched this video and had nothing but mad respect and empathy for you. That steep and rocky trail was simply insane! But you did it! Yes, you bitched and moaned and were sarcastic the whole way up, but that's what makes your videos relatable and likable. I would be cussing and throwing a fit much more than you were, lol! Keep living the dream and having a great(and not so great) time creating content!
If I don't laugh out loud at least 5 times through one of your video's, then it would be 4 laughs. Hilarious video. Entertainment value is a 10/10 with you Ben, thank you. Beautiful scenery up there.
Ben you always seem to give us gold of your adventures just picture all those baby head rocks like gold nuggets. Love your videos and this one is golden!
Don't you just love it when they stopped in the middle of a hill an you ask why did you stop? An they say I don't know. 😅 or there not out of the way an you end up in the bushes. What fun. 😅😅😅😊. And The Grizzlies didn't want any part of that. Wow just beautiful views. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Thanks so much for making these videos, I am born & raised in Smithers BC. Thanks for coming and seeing our beautiful town and what we have to offer. I feel so spoiled living here and enjoying all of these trails that you have made videos on. I was just up Sylvern lakes trail last weekend on my TW200.
Your ability exceeded your confidence! You killed it out there on some seriously technical riding! Use this experience as motivation to get into the gym! I have been going twice a week with my son since Jan 1st and it's made a major difference in my riding! Work hard to make the fun things in life easier 👊
Ben! You are the man! The only person that never failed, is the one that never tried! Don’t ever forget that! Love you, my brother! Be well and ride safe…
That is some serious riding. It's good to know I'm not the only one who has to tell myself how to ride while I'm riding. 😂 and I don't have the skills to ride the track you were battling...yet. Love your videos man.
Your not lucky as you say. You put a lot of time effort and skill to make entertaining videos. Informative videos. Hours on gear recommendations, bike reviews how too's on camping ect. Your not lucky your just getting what you deserve. Thanks for the entertainment the knowledge and getting and taking what your deserve. Keep them comming cuz its a long winter and i love watching your content. God bless.
Excellent! You could tell it was steep just by sound. I hate that kind of stuff but that’s part of the deal with what we do. That was one knarly trail!!!! Amazing scenery.
Ben, you have really become a very good rider, I got exhausted watching this last day. Believe me when I say that you are doing the community a great service, you are inspiring to all of us. Thank you. Sence I turn 77 next week I think I"ll take a nap now...
I have watched a bunch of your videos, but never comment. This ride looked TOUGH. HOLY HELL! Good on you for pulling through without having to rage too much.
Bought a new KLR because of you adventures, picking it up Tuesday!! I'm 55 and have ridden since 5 years old. Your content got me back to dirt, thank you buddy, you rock!!!
Had a chat with the Man, Dallas himself a few days ago, and if I'm fast enough on the uptake when the spots open for next year, maybe I'll get to live the dream as well. Love the positivity, love your content, and thanks for making it, dude.
That's easy, could have done that in my sleep. 😂😂😂 Wow, dude that was some insane riding and even more insane views. Congrats on getting it done. What an epic journey, totally jealous.
Really awesome series Ben. Looks like an amazing event, and it looks like it was really eye-opening and meaningful for you. Thanks for bringing us along!
The camera doesn't even come close to showing how tough these hills are. In-person this is a seriously steep incline over a long distance. Well done Dork, this shit is tough for anyone without extensive off-roading experience and fitness. And as a regular viewer, I'm the tiniest little part of making this happen for you, but I couldn't be happier for you to be living out your dreams. I have similar dreams..... Maybe one day I'll see you on a ride.
Remarkable! The whole series. But especially being w/ you through all those rocks - MY GAWD!!!!! Way beyond my experience, but your message rings loud and clear Ben - thanks ever so much!.......
I can’t tell you how impressed, on many levels, I am with you, Ben! Thank you for taking us on your journeys…I don’t just mean your motorcycle journeys.
WOW! Incredible views thanks for showing those to us. As someone who has been watching your vids from the start, I'm amazed at the skills you have acquired. Those baby heads, holy cow. Congratulations on making the ride without injuries. I especially like how you coach yourself while riding up the hill. Keep the good stuff coming.
That was a great ride. The PSA cracked me up. Anyone that would make fun or mock you is a sad human being. We feel sorry for them. Thanks for being an encouragement!!!
I am also a late comers to trail riding and cut my teeth in BC There's nothing more satisfying, and downright exhausting, that improving and conquering ever more challenging terrain. You did awesome with a great attitude, and content 👊
I really enjoyed watching this series on GrizzBait. I've had this rally on my radar for years now. I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford to go, but I'm definitely holding out hope. Watching your video makes me think I could do it. I'd have similar struggles I'd think, but it would be totally worth it. Thank you for sharing.
Truly one of your best videos of all time Ben! The terrain is so beautiful and burley, looking off to the side of the vid helps justify the insane grade...epic man! ...and on an 'F' man, wow! Been a hell of a year, baja, Oregon bdr, Alpinestars, Get-On, and now BC!... Spectacular, no.. Excellent!
Good Lord man - that looked DIFFICULT! I wish pain and struggle and cursing wasn't so fun to watch - I feel guilty about it - I really do... Bravo. Awesome ride. Thank you.
Mr Dork you have out done yourself on this trip!! I have much respect for you my brother for riding that hell trail and taking US along with you!! Stay safe out in them big woods. Around Bend Oregon out o n 2 wheels
Gates of Hell was no damn joke. I sat in the shade at the bottom just out of sight of the "Fun" ahead. I listened to carnage and swearing for 20 minutes until it was my turn.. Good lord..
Don’t even worry about the haters in the comments section. You are obviously having a great time doing awesome stuff so screw ‘em. Additionally, speaking as an overweight and over 60 guy, aging and out of shape is a bigger demographic than fit and 30 something in the dual sport and ADV community. Be yourself, and be true to yourself, and you will be fine. Elo and Geoff are good friends of mine and former riding buddies. As well as being more capable riders, they are two of my favourite people. They reported really challenging riding and an excellent experience, same same as you. I took a basic skills class with Dallas’ crew in lower BC, and I was impressed by the chill personalities and effective teaching styles. Cheers, eh!
Dude, don’t sell yourself short! That is some serious terrain! I noticed lots of other riders on the ground more often than you. So keep up the good work. Just remember what Dave Aldana said “you never how fast you can go, until you fall down”. You probably didn’t think you could do a trail like that, but you did it! Congratulations!
Good on ya and a life experience I will never have or pursue! Thanks for bringing us along! Must have been the extra weight of all your followers that gave you that little bit of extra traction you needed!
Nice riding Dork! That took alot of skill and patience for sure. . it looked steep even thru the camera.. Incredible view!! Congrats on your achievements with the channel. Just this year alone has been epic! And the year isnt over!! Great commentary and content! Big fan
I loved the rant, very human of you. I'm almost 40 and tried to get in shape before my first trail run and its incredibly draining. Part of me wants to stop doing single trails on my WR because of the toll, but videos like this make me want to stick with it. GG Dork.
Ben, always look 20-40’ in front of you and run that thing on the pipe. Most of your struggle came a low R’s. Twist it and just keep looking out in front of you. Good job staying with it bud. Last thing, abandon that thought of holding the bike with your knees, you’re restricting the movement. Instead, pitch it with your boots and allow the bike to move around, especially in those cobbles.
Congrats man. The camera doesent do justice to just how hard your trails were. If someone hasent road and filmed. I have. And am really impressed. Makes the low land logging roads feel like a walk in the park, right? :)
Great job on the baby head boulder trails you dont have to apologize to anybody i weigh half what you do and that stuff still kicks my ass but it sure is fun getting out and being in the countryside seeing the stuff that very few get the privilege of experiencing thanks for filming and posting your adventures so we can get a little peek of your journey
NICE! that looks like some proper technical trail riding, anyone can comment from a nice comfortable armchair. I don't ride off-road because I'm good at it, I ride off road because I enjoy it! 😆
Nice job in very challenging terrain. Looks super tough on video which rarely shows the true reality of how difficult the terrain actually is. Takes courage and determination and the views make it worth the struggle. Great video! 🙌
Dork on the rocks...hmmm probably gonna need some Tylenol and a chaser after that run great video, and you're right BC does have pieces of paradise... gems hidden in plain sight.
I love your content and really appreciate you Ben. I'm in a very similar physical shape as you and recently started to drive Enduro this summer on my CRF250L. I really appreciate having you paving the way for me, showing that tough terrain like this is possible on that bike and a love of burgers and beer =) You just slaying this terrain dude, hopefully one day I'll be as good of a rider as you are!
Beautiful riding trip. Wish I was there also as you are such an inspiration for us not so skilled riders. Even if you never planned to never ride some of its types of terrain now you have been through it once and any surprise encounters in the future you will know you can do it. Not easily but you can and have. 💪
WOW! Dork, you deserve the “T-Shirt” You nailed that ride! WABDR Babyhill is a walk in the park compared to what you just did! Welcome to BC … I love calling home 👍
The lighter the bike, the more fun you can have. That’s my motto anyway. I was hoping this trip would encourage you to show us how hard you can push the 300l Rally....
@@DorkintheRoad I know. I was just saying in general. The lighter the bike, the more fun. I just wanna see somebody run the 300l/Rally to its limits, to see how much abuse it can actually handle... I know what the 450l is all about.
WOW, that’s all I can say is WOW. You tell Ben how it is Ben 😅 I have all the respect in the world for ya. You’re not much younger than me and you killed it. Beast Mode
Ben…please make a video discussing your progression from why/when you left your previous career and what you’ve learned about yourself to this point. Also please share your future goals with your faithful followers. Thank you in advance.
Awesome adventure Dork! Looks a lot Colorado riding lol. The hardest part of the rocks is seeing the "line". Having a Trials rider eye helps! Get a Trials bike and make a "Clubman" route in the woods at tour new place.
Nice work Dork, way to battle through!!! I do think I smell a faint whiff of your clutch though all the way down here in Eugene. Seriously though... narrow, rocky hill climbs are some of the most difficult and taxing things you can do on a motorcycle. Not sure if you ever do this, but, go back a few years and watch the video of you on your A.T. going down a little baby dirt hill and your reaction to it. That will let you know just how far you've come. Keep charging and spreading the good word. If you're ever in Eugene come on down to my bar "Crow & Cart" and I'll take you out on some fun rides around here. (I am still trying to organize a cool on/off road ADV bike poker run for charity. If it happens I'll let you know.)

Awesome ride and thank you for taking us with ‼️‼️‼️
Dork I can only imagine how incredibly tough that was. You killed it!! So awesome. Good luck to 100k! I wish you the best!
Good job man, I’m impressed that you kept recording, when I get frustrated that’s the first thing I give up on!
Thanks so much for making these videos, I am born & raised in Smithers BC. Thanks for coming and seeing our beautiful town and what we have to offer.

You absolutely have to do some kind of training when you want to do stuff like this. Especially at our age! It was different when we were 20..

The only person that never failed, is the one that never tried!
Don’t ever forget that!
Love you, my brother!
