Tough times in Utah - Chris Birch KTM 890 Adventure R
On the one day off we had in the middle of our #saynotoslow riding school program we were told of some natural hot pools we should check out. We could have taken the road around the mountain but where is the adventure in that? After snow stopped plan A we had to go to plan B, that’s when things got serious.
Check out our Adventure bike and enduro video coaching series at www.saynotoslow.nz and our upcoming schools in Virginia and West Virginia.
Bikes: KTM 890 Adventure R and KTM 450 XCW

Leatt adventure rider Kinga Tanajewska brought her travels to New Zealand and came by my home in the Coromandel.

This was probably a once in a life time opportunity. A brand new KTM 450 Rally and the chance to take it for a run around my local dirt roads and a few trails. These bikes are built by KTM to do one thing, win Rally races. We are a bit short on deserts around here to really let it sing but it was enough to see how incredible these bikes are. Not an adventure bike, a rally race bike. Get your FR...

Two up adventures on KTM 1290 Super Adventure R

I originally got in to Adventure Riding as a way to share the fun of off road riding with Mrs Birch. With life and a kid that hasn’t happened for a few years. We put that right with an awesome adventure from Queenstown New Zealand to check out Mavora Lake with my friends Rob and Marcin. It was definitely a slower pace than usual but a great ride anyway!

Exploring trails with my Gas Gas emtb

There are so many trails around my home to explore and this e-bike is fast becoming my favourite way to explore them. It would be better on the moto but National Parks and dirt bikes don’t go together too well. These are old gold mining trails, I don’t know why gold miners made it so fun to ride ha ha.

Say No To Spend Tyre Changing - Chris Birch
zhlédnutí 148KPřed 9 měsíci
I am often called a cheapskate, and it's got some accuracy - I do hate wasting money, especially when I can figure out a way to do it cheaper (or free) myself. So I thought I would show you how you can do tyre changes on an adventure bike for little to no dollars spent. This will free up money to spend on good tyres you can swap out depending on your ride, or petrol money, or save for a new bik...
Berm Buster mid winter KTM300

Berm Buster trail rides are good times. The dirt is unreal, it’s slippery for sure but it holds up and gives us Kiwis somewhere to play in Winter. Nearly 1000 riders showed up for this one in near freezing temperatures. With so many trails to choose it’s not crowded at all. Good times for sure. #saynotoslow #cardofam #enduro #ReadyToRace

    Ok, have to comment again. That was SOOOO epic. Kiwi living the US last 30 years. Last bike was a KDX200. I am going to find your team on my next planned visit back to NZ and do that ride. 61 years young. Raced Enduro and Hare and Hound on farms in Canterbury, early 80s. This was an inspiration.

    I've been riding MTB for nearly 20 years and stopped recording rides because however hard it was the camera made it look tame. I also ride a T7 and a CRF250RX, those trails would have been toigh on the enduro bike! Mega effort getting the 890 through! Thats why you make a living riding bikes and I have to work on cars 🤣

    Amazing video for a cheapskate like me. The reality is without the ability to do this myself I would probably use the wrong tires for the job because I would avoid changing them. One question. The stands you used to hold the dowel to balance the tires are pretty slick, but I am having trouble finding some like that if you wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction. Thanks!
