I worked around Arad in the early 1980's as a field geologist. Great town then, spectacular desert terrain. I was a road cyclist then, though. Thanks for the video and the memories.

It's always a pleasure taking good riders on the trails we ourselves love to ride - and this one is definetly one of the top on our list! It was a blast!

This trail looks so awsome, it's so fun to see a KZreadr I like riding in Israel :D I really hope you enjoyed my country!

So much fun to ride with you Brian! This is one of my all time favorite rides so happy we got to go on the adventure together and even practice our yiddish a bit! We were shlemiels for not walking on the soft salt area to get into the Dead Sea :)

Been following you for years. Love learning about all the places you travel too. Makes us seem a little more connected to each other and we're not all that different! Thanks for bringing us along!

So much history there, truly ancient stuff. Should be some really cool data on Strava/TrailForks too!

Some serious exposure on that trail, & great scenery. Excellent edit. Used to work as a dive guide in Jordan in the late 90s, brought back some good memories.

Sea level ( altitude zero ) is at the nice viewpoint at 17:50 :)

such a pleasure watching you enjoy our back yard trails bro!❤ hope theres more :)) cheers brian! 🙏🏼

Love all the places you go Brian ! Gives me inspiration on a slightly smaller scale though 😀👍🏼

I love this series! More international riding!

So cool!! Great episode!!! Invigorating!

Looks a lot like Mars. Riding that spin was intense. It's Beautiful out there dude 👍

good reninder on why i dont like loud hubs, but love the footage. that terrain is is beautiful.

Love the ridges on this one. Phenomenal adventure.

Awesome video, great riding in a great destination. Peace.

So beautiful and so much different terrain.

Insane and another great adventure!!!

From the lush green mountains of Peru to this. Lol. You certainly cover ground!

Actually the deserts in israel are quite rich with wildlife. But sadly, as man builds more, wildlife fades. Until around 15 years ago israel still had leopards...

Hey Brian, the video was amazing. I’m a medical device rep in the foot and ankle space. Please take care of your bunions. If you haven’t, you should consult a specialist. There are some non invasive things you can do that might correct the toe angles. Anyway, just looking out for you. Stay well.

Good riding

A ride to trust the side knobs and avoid pedal strikes

Ride me to the Moon😂 Wow, looks epic!

Welcome to Israel 🇮🇱 excellent video with tal rozow the master 👏. this route is tough but also mentally and difficult especially with the knives and the section on the cliff heights , you are fearless . Great ride 🚴🏻🤘

Funny he mentioned teslas.. In fact here in israel, EV's, as long as they are not considered luxury, has only 25% percent tax. Model 3's here cost 52k$... it's when you opt for buying a model S that you get to feel the burden. A baseline model S would cost 200k$. A 250k$ ferrari would cost you here closer to 600k$.

The benfit of navigation in the desert is that you can really see the topography and it matches the map - trees obstruct the view and make it more difficult actually. Also we took Brian to trails we already know so not much navigation was involved :)

Great to have you here, Go Israel. Come also to the north - better tracks

Awesome!

I am just surprised that there is little to no vegetation.

Really cool

What kind of bike do you need for terrain like that?

Nice POV, are you using chest mount?

what gimball do you use while riding?

Right as you mentioned gloves I was thinking 'no way without gloves' (and a long sleeve with collar for my bacon Irish skin UA sell a very good hot weather long sleeve). To me it looks like cali after a bit of global warming.

Hey somebody stole my bike from my house when I out getting my CDL school. But what don't make sense they didn't take Twenty eight hundred dollars Is bike with a 1× No they took this one sixteen hundred dollar bike with 3× but It wouldn't be me without putting some quality stuff on that Fox34 Fox floating the on rear. We'll say that this is messed up and don't leave your bike around too Long for anyone to steal. The bike they didn't Steal Is the Canondale no they stole my Kona precept. One twenty slightly modified Two a on forty. And torch wheel. Still Miss this bike. You're safe and always good.
