Fair call to Josh remember he drove down from Brisbane picked you up Sydney and drove to VIC....he is a weapon to do that ride and kept up as long as he did....he deserves 👏 RESPECT 🙏

Mate he outdoes me in the sand, fire trails, overall speed on rocks and downhills. The only thing I can beat him at is hill climbs and river crossings. Hence why we make a great combo. Together we can get over any terrain I reckon. 🤙

I'm not hanging sh..t on your mate. I was just saying these bikes are too high make's it hard. When you can't touch the ground properly that's why I'm getting mine lowered. Those rocky tracks are hard work.

Cool im watching you guy's and the High country trek 3 times from 3 channels. Enjoying it so far.

Love that episode when you went out west talking about your dad and you put up a photo of him.

I was telling my mate at work about that one the other day. Bloody legend Lance. Your ol man wouldve been stoked.

FWIW: An easy way to make an electrolyte solution to prevent cramps and help stay hydrated is a mixture of potassium, salt, and magnesium. There are videos on YT on how to make the homemade LMNT branded electrolyte powder. I like to add a packet of Propel electrolyte solution that I get from Walmart here in the states. There may be the same or similar product there. Pre-hydrating is super important for any physical endeavor. Not judging. Just adding some pearls I've learned over the years from my experience living in hot and dry Arizona. Josh deserve big kudos for not giving up and soldiering on. Great videos! Keep up the good work mate!

Awesome first ep Lance, looking forward to the subsequent ones! Great to see another perspective of the ride and what we missed. I’ll definitely be going back to conquer the Deddick.

Yeah you should try and get out there before the seasonal closures. Plus knock over Jackson’s crossing. It would be a great overnighter. 👍

Few mates, riding in the bush, thats livin Barry 🙌🙌👌🏼

I wish I was 40 years younger......those track are way way out of my league....well done to both of you. Awesome country to be riding in.

Bro that water in the high country is probably as clean as you'll ever find. I often go kayaking in rivers fed from streams like this and we drink water straight from the river. No need to boil but understand you want to be careful. Another great video bro

The old me would have agreed. During this trip I caught a water born bug and pooed for a week straight. Lol

You’re right, you can only capture so much on one camera. I hope everyone follows the other guys because it’s showing so much of the high country. Great work lance and a fantastic first part of the new high country saga. Oh and having the pic of the old man, he’d be proud mate

Mate the dust was so bad it made it hard to follow closely. Thanks mate, he would be proud as punch with how my riding has developed.

I ride from about 3700ft to 13,500ft elevation wise. Arm pump is a legit killer. Lost my left arm to a cramp on st charles in colorado and it almost killed me. Much respect to both of you.

Done Deddicks in my 4b and mate broke his cv and we had to do emergency repairs in that camp or similar and tow him out so yes its steep and can be rutted out from 4WD's. great vid so far.

Love all your vids mate. Just humble and real. Sometimes i wonder how you manage to swing them big balls of yours over the seat with some of the situations you put yourself in. Keep em coming. Really inspiring 😊

Haha the trick is having small balls. Clears the seat much better. Thanks mate, I’m always up for a good challenge. End of the day it’s just a dirt track or dirt hill in the bush.

Good to see you both team up again

Great vid, awesome ride

Awesome ride and commentary, mate. I can't wait for the next episode. Cheers for sharing 🍻

Now that's an adventure!

Great Ep Lance!!

Mate solid effort from both you lads looks pretty full on out there👍

Nice job guys, good video, awesome job on the long uphills, good on ya.😊

Hi mare I have been watching your bike adventures and it's brilliant, great content and filming. Keep it up & have a good one mate. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hey lance another fantastic video great to see josh im subscribed to both of your channels cheers for sharing your content great channel 👍🍻👌

Top video Lance ,good to see you and sally on your adventures

Great little ride through the Vic. High Country there Lance. :)

He is a great guy I wouldn't go anywhere else to buy tyres. Will tell you anything you want to know...

Awesome first episode fellas, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Its great to watch you enjoying the bush so much, your old boy would be proud.

Good on ya boys, looking forward to see Josh pov on that hill at the end 😮

I ran some these types of hills in North Carolina. It’s crazy the workout you get; both from muscles and mental concentration! Josh should try electrolytes in his water to help with cramping. It helps a little bit. Looking forward to the rest of the trip! Great vids as usual dude!

As per MTB and road cycling- carbo gels and H20- BEFORE you need em. You guys know this i'm sure. Excellent vid and thanks. Looking forward to next post. Low sugars and dehydrating are a risk. Not meaning to preach.

I loved watching this whole video Lance. What an adventure. I got a bit teary when you mentioned Freddie. Man he would have been so proud of you 🥰🥰🤗. Karin

I can't wait for part two. You guys did a great job. When I watch your videos, I feel like I could do that too. But I also know that Go-Pro doesn't show how steep or uneven the tracks are and what obstacles you have to ride over sometimes.

D606 has ten extra rows of knobs and way more space between knobs side to side. My Dual Venture and Rallz are off and will only go back on for an on road trip.

I don’t mind the rear Rallz, it did great I thought. The front was more of concern on the harder terrain though.

Great Video mate. Poor Josh. He’s going to have to take up CrossFit now to supplement his riding fitness regime. 😂 solid effort gentlemen. It looks like you had a blast.

Yeah mate no dramas at all. The front I had some moments with but the rear did very well indeed. Plus plenty of tread left on it. Not as aggressive as the 606 but still got it done.

great video lance these drz400 s are too high . i have one and im just now in the process of getting lowered properly. im only 5f8 . and i8 find it hard because of the height. or it could be because im 61. safe travels mate

Come on Sally.

Whats everyones thoughts on turning the engine off and using the clutch in and out as needed for the steep decents. Choosing a low gear depending on control of speed. I either learnt this at rider training or saw it recomemnded somewhere. You can obviously still use brakes but can give better control and less chance of overheating the brakes.

@The_Apprentice_Adventurer

3 ай бұрын

Yeah I do a bit of both. Not always filming it all though. For me I just get on the hill, in the moment and forget all about it, which is sometimes good and bad.

Lance, teach Josh about magnesium 😂😂

Not going to bag motoz tyres because they make some great tyres but a d606 rear and mt21 front would have been the right tools for this job imo

@The_Apprentice_Adventurer

4 ай бұрын

I would agree that the 606 would have be the ideal rear for this trip. However after trying the Motoz it still got the job done for me but has plenty of tread left for more rides. Both have their advantages I guess. It’s definitely a tough one for that perfect all rounder.

@1nando632

@The_Apprentice_Adventurer I reckon that's what affected Josh and his confidence. When you're used to a certain level of grip and tyre performance it can be difficult to get accustomed to new tyres, especially running heavy for a 5 day camping trip

awesome ride. Maybe Josh is diabetic. Either way, great effort

don't know...man you keep dropping riders ......🤔🤔🤔...great tracks....sally is sounding great.
