Backyard Blast August 2024
Our Backyard blast yesterday was, you guessed it, a blast! Hills, rivers, creeks and mountains, this loop has it all. Starting near Bairnsdale, we headed off into the foothills of the high country with a BBQ lunch at a picturesque camping area. Our next day ride is in September. See website or send us a message for details.

Four Seasons Ride - East to West Crossing of Victoria
Hey whenever you have two dirt bikes together, it's ALWAYS a race! Great way to spend a winter's afternoon. 🙂
That was a great video
Spent my life on road bikes, would love to learn how to ride in the dirt.
Gotta get down there one day and do the High country trails
What year and model is the honda?
It's a 2006 crf450x
Epic brother!
What a Beautiful ride man 👍
What route/s this? Looks decent.
Your just a shit rider mate
Looks like a terrible time. …
Excellent boys 👍👍👍
This was amazing
fkn cool..I'm in!!
Very good! 👍💪👍
I reckon Vic
Where's that mate?
Yeah it's East Gippsland Victoria
Looks like a great ride. Well done on the video editing.
Looks awesome guys
Looks awesome! Would a rear trial tire (MT43) be appropriate for that sort of terrains? Especially the big climb - Billy goat bluff.
I've never had experience with them but I'd say it'd be harder than a full knobby.
This is outside of Abq, right?
Amazing effort Josh n mate. I'm in awe. I'm thinking of going one way with my son n co next year. Will be thinking of you guys. 👍
I been planning a double crossing In 2 days all my mates aren't keen but here you guys are making my trip look like a Sunday ride haha
Hey mate, a double crossing in 2 days would be awesome. Still big days but it would be enjoyable and not exhausting like it was in 24 hrs. And it means a lot less gear needs to be carried. If you are competent riders you'll be fine.
@@joshuarykers thanks mate I like the riding waaaay more than the camping so happy to stay at Birdsville cabins and set off with just what I need for the trip. It will be more fun that carrying heaps of camping stuff
Get your backside off your dirt bike and XC ski that snow . FFS.
So you’re damaging the rivers like the brumbies. Shoot them at least
Love the carb whistle of the Berg
Just stumbled across this while researching an unsupported Simpson crossing I want to do. Mate....I am in awe. Next Level old mate 👌 Pun intended
Thanks mate. It was a hell of an adventure
nice trip, that footage looks amazing.
Dude , you thrashed it to death .
Been there done that ..there and back unsupported
What area where those tracks they look fun nice and tight tracks
The tight tracks in the video were mostly north of Jones Road in the Dargo area.
@@joshuarykers nice
Hey Josh, how big was the fuel bladder you used and was the other baggage the kriega system?
Hey mate. 20l fuel tank up front. 10l bladder. Used 28 litres each way. The luggage was wolfman 👍🏽
The way to turn good tracks into gutters and make motorcyclists unpopular
How far down the river did you go?
We jumped out at Bruthen
@@joshuarykers ohhh ok. So where did you start? I was curious if it was possible to do this river from Swifts Creek or so.
LOL few offs good times
Hey mate great trail, you don't have a blog up where you post the trail paths?
The important thing to ask would be how many times did you crash this bike... nay better question... why are you jumping a trail bike lol you cant bottom out a trail bike with out either upgrading the suspension or adjusting it. Also a honda xr200 should of been used by the military it's almost impossible to demo with even abusive maintenance. Not a good comparison lol
why the KTM 500 will be aussies prefered bike in the future
well done, how much fuel did you carry tank and bladder and how much did you use both ways etc. epic ride, well done. how much training did you do, because that is a monumental physical and mental effort, great job
I carried 31 litres. 20 litre tank + 10 litre bladder + 1 litre bottle just incase. Used 28 litres each way. The KTM's are pretty good on fuel. to be honest we did little to no training, just rode consistently and battled the fatigue as best we could.
@@joshuarykers what tank and what year KTM
@Sudzaboy 2015 KTM 500exc. Acerbis tank
@@joshuarykers thanks, seems like less options for larger tanks available for the newer bikes.
@@getslimdad yeah there isn't a 20L option anymore. Acerbis make a 15L for the KTM and IMS make a 17L
Awesome!
Plenty of single track at karoonda to loxton we do big day night stuff out there.
I did this on a push bike in Oct 2000. Looks much more fun on a motorbike
Good on you. That would be a hard slog.
""The First 2 weeks of riding"" he ment to actually say the first 20 times he fell
Shame you don't offer bikes, and gear on your tours.
We do have 3 KTM 500s for hire with our tours
@@joshuarykers Oh, where can I find those details, as I didn't see that on your website?
@@reddpill I'll be updating the website soon with these details.
I got the same bike for two years now and it still looks new its not the bike its the rider
Hey Josh, just checked out a few of your videos, they are great!!! I'm doing my first ride into the high country in March and can't wait. Quick question, in one of your other videos there is a sketchy suspension bridge that some of you were wheeling/riding your bikes over. Where is that?
Hey mate. the bridge is at Eaglevale at the end of the Wonnangatta road. you can ford the river there as well but if it's too deep the bridge is a good option.
@@joshuarykers Thanks for that. I might check it out on my visit to High Country. Hey also, I have been checking out some of your videos, you clearly love shooting and editing the videos of your ride. You might be interested in a video that I'm going to be publishing on my channel in a couple of weeks... Its going to be called something like "How to optimise your GoPro footage for Adventure Bike riding". I used to be a professional TV cameraman and love making videos and I wasn't happy with the quality of my GoPro footage when it ended up on RUclips. So that started me doing research and experiments to find the best settings and workflow. I'll give you a teaser..... did you know that RUclips has two different video compressors that it uses. One for the every day man (you and I), and then a different one ... higher quality for it's "VIP users"... the people with big followings etc. Anyway, I've found how we can force RUclips to compress our videos using the high-quality codec which gives better quality playback... I'll be sharing that in the video I produce. Also, I just bought a new drone and I'm going to be doing a video on that. It's called a Skydio2 and it's a game-changer for dirt bike riding. Have you heard of it?
@@brentbat I'd be interested in seeing the video. I've had the same trouble. Quality is always lost on upload and I've wondered how other videos on RUclips don't seem to have the same trouble. Post a link to the video when it goes live. na I haven't heard of that drone.
@@joshuarykers I'll definitely copy you when I post the video. I get my Skydio tomorrow and I'm pumped. Check this out ruclips.net/video/rMZ3zR5-T_Y/видео.html
Spectacular locations there Josh, could ride those tracks for a week straight and still want more. Cheers Mate
I have two Chinese bikes and I love them to death and they run great don’t blame the bike
Wow China bikes have come a long way just bought me a 250cc Apollo
Where were you blokes riding Josh? I live up near Walhalla. Bloody top tracks around here
We rode between Bairnsdale and Dargo and the surrounding Dargo area.
top ride mate
