ABR festival 2024 - Bridgestone trail lap…by a total novice!

My attempt at the Bridgestone trail on my Tiger 800 xcx. I’m a total newbie to off road so it’s not a fast lap haha. Apologies to anyone stuck behind me! Enjoy!

    Thanks for sharing this video. I also fell off on this course due to rider error and I’m still recovering from my injuries today.

    Great video, I spent two days on the beginners sectioned and then did about 50% of the main trail, complete novice but was great fun. TBH, the lad stopped in front of you was a bad place to stop, likely just caused you to make the error.

    nicely done , the swinging mirror would have really put me off , shame about the handguard maybe time for some barkbusters ?

    great brakes, no grip and too much weight , yes your going down buddy! I hope you dropped your tire pressures down to around 15 psi in the front when adventuring on the edge of those fields. If you get the chance next time , take a little mx trail bike and have some proper offroad fun, save the big bike for eating those miles up on the tarmac. atb
