Ride BDR A 10-Year Retrospective (Full Film)
About The Film:
Celebrating 10 years, 10 routes and 10,000 miles of adventure! Telling the decade-long story of the BDR organization, this 75-minute film features never before seen footage and bloopers from the BDR vault, interviews with founders, and a behind the scenes look at how BDR came to be and where it's going. From its ragtag beginnings to becoming one of the most influential names in adventure motorcycling, this is one ride you won't want to miss!

About BDR:
Backcountry Discovery Routes® (BDR®) is a non-profit organization that creates off-highway routes for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel. We have introduced a new route with free GPS tracks for the community every year since 2010.
Routes can be downloaded from our website at www.ridebdr.com
Our work includes rider education, safety campaigns and promoting responsible travel for motorcyclists traveling in the backcountry.
Our volunteer-powered organization works with agencies and land managers to keep trails and remote roads open for motorcycling.
Each route generates new tourism that delivers sustainable economic relief to less-advantaged rural communities. This creates local stakeholders who will help fight to keep access for dual-sport and adventure motorcycles in these incredible backcountry areas.

Adding economic incentive to keep public lands accessible is fantastic, that gives me hope that our love for offroad riding will stick around for the next generation. Tread lightly, keep right, ride safe.
Just had a chance to watch this film and what a great success story. My wife and I are 40 days into a BDR ride and so far rode NM, AZ, parts of NV, and most of the ID BDR ( Snow still has some sections closed) but we made it to the Canadian border and are now hanging for a few days near Priest Lake with Friends, before continuing with the WA BDR and then make our way through OR and south into CA and ultimately into Cabo San Lucas for a Family get together in November. We have done UT and CO before and are looking forward to WY next year. THANK YOU for all you have done, the communities along the way love this. RIDE RIGHT>>RIDE WITH RESPECT!

I recognize that Pastor around the 48 minute mark(I could be mistaken). I’ve seen him at National Enduros sharing a fireside message the night before in the pits. Really interesting character. Got to live his worship on the trails attitude!
Thank you for your passion MABDR is a dream yet to come true for me.

CABDR was challenging, every time I see rocks, I think of BFR (Big F*&^% Rocks). Elevation changes were amazing, views grandiose. Route was tough, but glad to have cracked open that door.

The CABDR can be a real challenge! Happy to hear you enjoyed it and we agree...those views are indeed grandiose!
Awesome story and glad this has evolved so much over the years. Still never ridden any of them but have dreams of doing them all.

Seen this last night at theater. Wow, that was just outstanding. Thanks Jennifer Ott from Detroit BMW for calling and inviting me!
Another amazing video from Sterling and crew! Great job! Now please get us some BDR routes in CANADA!

Most inspiring adventure motorcycling story for the modern adventure cyclist. Seven Brothers MC will love BDR.
Thanks for all you do. Off road riding is my escape from everyday life. Planning on doing the rest of the NEBDR this summer and I can't wait

What a great film, thank you so much for everything you have done to put these routes together for everyone. I'll probably never be able to do them all, but I'm heading out west to ride parts of Utah and Colorado at the end of the month. Next year the Mid Atlantic and NE start to finish!

The BDRs are fun and just enough of an adventure for the bigger ADV bikes. However, I long for a bit more of a challenge - especially for mid to light weight dual sports. How about creating a BTR for backcountry TRAIL route? I love the routes that Tour of Idaho and Ridaho have created. We need more like those in every state!

We in the process of creating the TransMexico Loop Trail that will go from the US border at three locations to Guatemala, traversing the vast Sierra Madre Mountains along western and eastern Mexico. I ride both a KTM 500 EXC-F and a 1290 Super Adventure R, and there is plenty of amazing riding for both.
Love it!! Great video! Thank you for all you do. Going to do them all.
Looking forward to my first adventure
Wow great backgrounder on the BDR. Great progress in a 10 year span! Now I know more of Sterling’s background too ha.
Amazing! Going for my second BDR soon! From Miami to COBDR!
Great film and a great group of people! I joined a group of 8 doing the WY BDR this summer. I cannot wait! Thank you, BDR crew, for making this kind of adventure a reality.
My brother and I are looking at a couple Honda AT's and will be planning some rides soon!
Thank you for sharing the video and thank you to everyone who contributes to these routes!
This is friggin' AWESOME!
I am so glad this happened. WA really has it all. Your work is much appreciated!!!
An amazing film that recognizes some amazing people! Thank you for all of your hard work!
My Heart goes out to you guys. What an achievment over the past 10 years. Keep up the great work. Hope I can make it sometime over to ride ohne of the BDRs. Greetings from Germany! Stephan
It was great, thank you for sharing.
This is the coolest thing ever!!!!!!!
This is so awesome!!!🙂👍👍👍👍
Wow!... enough said.
Thank you...
Thank you. Great to see all the support for motorcyclists. I’m planning on riding these routes very soon. Thank you
Excellent production, Thank you for all your contributions.
What great content I’ve stumbled upon here. Thanks for all you do!!
Really great video! I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot about the BDR! Big thanks for all the work that has gone into it by everyone!
Great film. Respect from the uk 🇬🇧 🙏
Can’t wait for August! I’m going to ride my first BDR and hope to ride one every year! NEBDR looks to be awesome
Great. See you in Tennessee.
You guys are awesome. Thanks so much for putting this together. Once I get skills up, I’ll be on the NE BDR. Keep up the great work and safe riding.
I'd love to go to the states some time and do some of these BDR routes. They look amazing.
Outstanding ! So many great people , coming together , working so hard to achieve worthwhile goals . Love it ! Can't wait for springtime 2022 .

What "worthwhile goals" are these? Somehow the dirt wouldn't exist without them? Are these guys a front for the sierra club?
Amazing
Awesome
Just found out about these recently. This is awesome! Been mostly a road rider but I'll pick up a bike tomorrow (no joke) and ride a few of these!
All of the riding, thrills, chills, camararderie, joy, epic scenery, excitement, and small towns were great to see. However, I didn't like the crashing. No Sir, been there done that. It wasn't fun for me. Even the experts were going down. I'm glad no one was seriously injured. If I ever decided to ride one of these BDR routes, it would have to be one of the easier routes.
Awesome! I will be doing the UTBDR at some point. Maybe Idaho after that. 👍
Can’t wait for borders to open again so we can get there from New Zealand! Hopefully 2023
Good stuff! I look forward to contributing to a SDBDR!
From Austin Vince to Ewan and Charlie / LWR to the BDR, the adventure riding arena has grown into a dominant segment for riders of all skill levels, pocket books and exploring interests. Glad that we have so many options here in the USA to see the roads less traveled and that you have created them for us to enjoy.
You guys working on anything in the South? A Blue Ridge BDR of GA, TN and NC would be awesome!
This organization should do its own route in OR. Maybe starting directly on the OR side of the bridge of the gods, going south to CA, and or ID. Paying the OOHVA for their routes is foolish!
Awesome video, gives me chills. Did the MABDR and some of NEBDR, can't wait to do some of the West coast routes. What's the song/band that plays at the end credits?
Hi II love riding BDR, I did few of them already and will be doing Idaho BDR this Fall and I would love to know where is that fire lookout at 31:44? I have seen it in several other videos and no one responded yet. Keep doing what you doing, it is greatly appreciated.
A+++++
I know you guys did north east but need go through down east Maine and north to New Brunswick Nova Scotia
I believe Noraly Schoenmaker ( itchy boots) would fit in well if she is willing to join
Is there anything in the works for Kentucky, I know we have a 1000 mile loop called the Kentucky adventure trail “KAT” but i would love to see the BDR come to Kentucky, I would love to help doing some scouting and recording!
Any way to connect the routes together that would be so awesome
I'm just curious is it limited to just motorcycles or can ATVs and utvs ride the route to I got rid of my motorcycle about a year-and-a-half ago because I can't keep it upright anymore
LMAO! Be careful! Spooning leads to forking!
24:50 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now you need a south eastern .....
I miss these early productions. The new videos seem so ‘hipster.’
route is pronounced ROOT not ROUT
Yay Oregon for fighting against the signs and wanting to be excluded from the community of BCDR (sarcasm). They do it on their own and even though I have not ridden the route, it is definitely not updated like these others. The resources and the available up to date information is lacking compared to this group. I love living in Oregon but it is not the best for motorcycles compared to other states for sure.
Loved the nebdr. But, I do have one issue. Why dont the BMW big bike riders show a little bit of courtesy and pull their goldwings with dirt tires on them over so riders who can actually ride a bike without having to stop to reset the traction control and abs can ride in before theses highway bikes with riders who cant ride worth a shit with out all the computer bullshit head in to plug up the route and need 4 people to lift up the bike. Seriously. Do you really need a 1200 cc 700lbs to ride a trail? Seriously, learn to ride or get a smaller bike. Just sick of the big money people causing delays. Learn to ride!
Creepy. Motocross and riding the trails shouldn't be about your wallet.
A blooper video would be great. Is Montana in the future?
