Sea to Source / Hard Adventure w. Chris Birch
Спорт
I needed a challenge and the South Island of New Zealand truly delivered on this one!
My friend Charlie and I decided to go the hard, but extra fun way following the river from sea to alpine in search of an epic high-country hut to overnight in. It was worth a few scratches, falls and every bead of sweat!

True that. Word of advice for ppl trying to replicate it with KTM. Don't do the water stuff. Their electrical connections are crap and you will get stuck. You can try to waterproof them of course.
That was amazing, I was smiling the whole time! Beautiful photography too. Insane skills, it's super entertaining to watch you guys thank you for this!

Pure talent. This video made my day. Chris is like from another planet. And you gotta give credit to his riding mate too. Imagine Chris saying to you "let's go for a ride" 😬
I love how Chris is riding this big bike and makes it look like a 300 enduro lol
Whenever I see these I just wonder what the cameraman was riding.

What an incredible video. The scenery is spectacular and the riding skills are mind blowing. You guys are amazing.
Man I could really go for an extended cut of this! Amazing work.
The cinematography and editing on this piece is superb!
Pure pleasure watching such a great display of skills riding off-road!
Chris birch videos are phenomenal 👏 whenever I see his videos it gives me goosebumps and just wanted to start my bike and search for the adventure, no other video bike content is good as Chris birch. Thank you sir and more videos from you pls.

I sent this vid to all my mates who have 790's (myself included). No more excuses. Great riding and great bikes. Inspiring.
WOW, i'm so impressed!!! This is VERY BEAUTIFULLY DONE!! Would love to know more from your riding experience. Such as what gear to carry, how to ride certain terrains, some other do's and don'ts etc.

They are a lot of fun, and you can ride them to the fun!
I think it's really cool that you also show that you crash and "fail" - Falling and failing is okay, it's a part of the adventure!
When working hard at office and not going to trail , it's go refreshing to recall trail riding days
Perhaps you guys are among the most brilliant extreme off-road technical terrain moto rider's. I'm impressed. I'm sure you guys have spent years in learning these skills. no body can master such skills overnight.

Great video. Really enjoyed it. As an 1190R owner who pretty much bough one because of Chris' videos I am blown away by his riding level. It is not easy to do what he does on a 1x90R. That said they are super fun bikes to push to the limits.
Chris, Another great vid, please keep them coming, great to see what these bike are capable of.
This is called riding fun.... Enjoy the every moment 💣💣💣💣🤙🤙
I stopped the video in the middle because I thought it was one of the best bike riding scenes, with jumps and a river crossing that looked awesome, like a movie scene. Chris, you are truly one of the best riders in the world.🏍🏍🏍
Unbelievable! Speechless! I don't know how it would be possible to ride a bike like both of you did. Many times I stopped the video, I went back to see better what you just did and my eyes couldn't believe what I saw... yes my eyes always saw perfectly. You did it that! Great job, great video, great scenary, everything great! Thank you so much, Guys, I loved it!
Wow 🤩 a very thrilling & exciting off road adventure biking, only expert bikers can do that! Really enjoyed it.
Thrilling video and editing. Love the NZ scenery! Always like your down to earth attitude in these vids 👍🏼
Holy moly , crazy off road skills , enjoyed watching the film , Very well shot .. very high quality ..
Awesome ride guys on those big arse dirtbikes ! loved and the far sth island is beautiful, thanks
So much to say about this fantastic video. Its great to see you ride the big bike with some soft bags, seeing you guys fall ie mortal lol, and the incredible riding... the big jump over the creek and doing a wheely on a expert rock section makes me respect your riding that much more. A great video to watch days before a week long upcoming solo trip .
It's quite difficult to find the words to describe ... breathtaking!
Man i can watch this all day, pure skills and the movie making is top notch. Kudos to people behind the cameras and the handlebars :)
Man. I dream to be like you guys. Great Video.
You guys are Mad Man. Really thrilled to see such riding skills.
Spurt of rock pieces behind the wheel in deadly roads.. you guys 👌
Gotta be the best adventure ride video so far!! And all those sponsors answered the production quality! Superb ride boys!!
I wish I had even 1/10th of the skill (and confidence) to ride like this. Total awesomeness.
Wow ~ it is a natural sound while watching the awesome riding. It looks like a CG in the film called everlasting riding. Thank you and good luck to both of you.
Super cool video, well done Chris. Always awesome to see how far you can push the big ADVs. With the right rider on their back, they can get just about anywhere 👍
Mind Blowing!! idk who's more skillful the pilots or the invisible film crew!! Free bikes to destroy!!
This is a proper justice to the amazing bikes. Insane insane skills i stumble on a 411cc alot and looking at this is something out of this world.
Once again, proof there is Chris Birch, and then everyone else. Epic.
I enjoyed the moments of the reality of a big bike. Not all fun and games but definitely an adventure.

Love this video, gorgeous landscape and amazing riding!!! I'd love to see what you two could do on an MX track with those two bikes! I've been playing around on a few local MX tracks myself with the 790 Adventure S, heh! Always looking forward to more of this kind of content from you all. 😎
Jaw on floor the whole way through. It’s hard to describe just what insane skills these fellas have, since they make it look easy….. but wow this is some unspeakably hard terrain to ride. Wow.
One of the best motorbiking videos I've ever watched
Spectacular production mate. And pretty good riding too :-) It's very inspiring to me. Thanks!
Binge watching all these amazing vids to help me pass time till my 1290 R arrives. These bikes are hard to come by in Canada, stoked for sure!

Just incredible skills to pair with the beasts!
My skills donot match my desire to ride like this :) . Don't know how many times i'm wathching it. Thanks for the joy
Outstanding videographie! Great riding skills & awesome mix of terrain (as expected). Someone should tell you that you are totally insane😉 to face this challenge. I'm glad you did - highly entertaining & motivating.
One of the most exciting adventure bikes video! I have 890r and it's fun to know what you can do with it🤘🏼
Absolutely Crazy These Guys!

KTM is spending on marketing like all other manufacturers together..... Just look how much they spend on Dakar........If you ask me - good product is self selling ....... Fantastic riding and scenery ....
I’d be hauling my 1190r out in boxes if I tried that run.....great video!
Well produced KTM, I'm already in your product ecosystem and this video successfully conjures some of the fun of actual rides on my bike, but when sitting at home on my butt. Congrats, well done (I'm a comms professional).
i think you need to thank your editor he did a great job .keep them coming...
I never seen a full entertaining biking like that..wow you blew me up....this is Madness in a GoOD way 😂 Thank you guys for Sharing this wonderful experience with us 👌🏻🙂
I saw the KTM 1290 adventure R in a showroom this week. It’s the first time I’ve seen one live. It’s beautiful, and it is massive! It’s intimidating just to stand next to it , let alone jump over creeks and go up rocks like Chris does here. You’re driving it like it’s a 250 enduro ha! Amazing skills Chris! Blows my mind! Love the quality and time you put into your videos too BTW, great work!

If I could ride 100 metres of any part of that without killing myself I'd be stoked. To do all of that the way they did was bloody amazing. Awesome video.
Awesome. I was out on my old 950 S a couple of days ago - riding just like you guys 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 TET Sardinia is good fun.
