An absolutely brilliant weekend! Awesome to drink lots of beer with you. Anyone who's thinking of going- stop thinking and get booked in. Sadly, I'll be in the Swiss Alps next year- but I'll definately be booking for 2025.

It was ace to see you and Buddy Lee 🙂 Aye mate, one of the best motorcycling events of the year I think!

Thats a huge chunk of land, they have taken up just for this event. Glad there are people who approve of this and agree to let strangers ride around there.

Aye mate, 30km for this trail, and then a load more on the TRF trail... and there was also trails set aside for the manufacturers to ride their bikes too!

thats me at 2:38 in the video came off my crf. i dont remember exactly what happened but there was a fair bump that caused me to over throttle the bike then i couldnt make the turn. thanks for stopping mate. another example of some of the great friendly people on the course!

Always good when events strive to continually improve. It looked like a nice relaxed day on the bike.

I must admit, I'm very tempted to go next year - I need to see how things pan out with the new post etc. It looks like a good networking event as mush as anything too and I agree with you that it's not really the kind of place to have a camera stuck to you the entire weekend. I did chuckle a little when you referred to that stone section as being back in Yorkshire - a good grounding for bouldering on a bike 🤣🤣

I was on the way to Wales to start the ACT when everyone was riding up to the ABR. Was weird seeing them carrying waaaay more kit than I was. As for next year, if I’m not adventuring I might, definitely maybe be at the ABR.

It's nice of them to put on the trails for you, bet that is a great job setting those up before the festival. I was actually offered a free ticket to the ABR festival this year but I didn't have anyone to go with and also I didn't know how I'd be received rocking up on a ZZR 🤣 It always looks a good festival, glad it's still on nowadays and getting better and better it seems. Corrr those massive stones looked brutal, I'd of been on the ground in a second 😂 I'm so glad you had a great time mate, the trail looked a lot of fun as well. Great video fella.

What a cool track! It's so awesome that they created that for people to have a bit of fun on. From what I've seen it is an incredible event. I wish we had events like that around here. We have nothing! That was awesome footage in the last couple of minutes seeing bikes everywhere zipping about. Nice one mate! I'm pretty sure I listened to an interview with Dylan a few years back on the Adventure Rider Radio podcast. I'll have to put his video aside and watch it at some stage later!

It really is incredible watching, I 100% recommend watching it if you have 90min spare! I guess living on a small island has its advantages for events like this, and the venue is slap bang in the middle of the country, so a viable trip for almost all wannabe UK adventurers. Think there was 12,500 people at this one, pretty mega 🙂🤘

But did you get to eat many bugs with the visor up? Good protein!! Nah very difficult to film somewhere like that I do think :) So are you going again next year then? :P I'd love to see Adam going too, hell I'd love to go! So many boikes!!!

This time my gob stayed bug free thankfully 😀 Aye, if you fil the chats with the likes of Itchy Boots etc, the videos would be hours long, and have bad audio, and the whole point of going to the ABR is to hear them, so be silly to try and record it. I'd love to film the drunkenness and tomfoolery, but I don't like shoving cameras in people's faces when they are drunk in case they don't like it. You'd love the whole festival mate, shame there is not similar out your way? Hahaha... hopefully Adam will get to the next one 😀

Looks like it was an awesome event again, great stuff…did you get to see Noraly Pete?, if so, was she good? 😀👍
