- Can this fire trail be completed by an everyday motorbike rider SOLO? This impassable fire trail is hidden within plain sight in the Sydney Blue Mountains.
This was my second attempt and second fail. I have no business on this track as a solo rider anymore.

I think you make some of these obstacles harder for yourself by being too cautious. I find a bit of tenacity goes a long way, you'll be very surprised what you and the bike are capable of if you just send it every now and then. The second bottleneck with the log definitely could have been tackled with a bit of momentum and a lift of the front wheel. Altogether good ride though looks like very interesting terrain.
Heavy bike, would of tried without the luggage bags, lose one mirror and anything else can do without, just a big backpack
Might be worth fitting a Kickstarter kit to your DRZ, had one on my old DRZ and was nice to have
Reason number 7 (and probably the biggest reason it's the hardest): "being nervous".good job on winning the mindgames and respect for tackeling this track! You killed it!
I brought a 2006 drz last week with only 4000km I have had a lot of bikes in my life but the drz is a beast like yours 👍
Dude, it’s easier for the bike to move itself than you moving it. Work on your skills in isolation every day and your life will be much easier when it comes to riding. Keep at it.
Feel this video all the way mate, I did a solo last weekend and came across 4 water ways and walked them all before riding through, came to the fifth water way I thought the last 4 were good so I just rode it. She sunken in and I tried to dig her out for 2 hours, mud up to my knees bike got mud all through her, ended up waking 15 kms and fucked my feet and an over night stay in the bush, finally got phone service and got hold of local fire service and they got me out, the fire unit 41 took my place sadly, we only just got the fire unit 41 out today. It goes to shoe how an hour ride can go to shit real fast.
You didn't have to carry your bike over that big tree on the way back, when you come out of the creek there is a track to the left about 20mtrs up that will bypass the fallen tree in either direction. You even looked up there for a sec. I have seen a guy go over the edge at that fallen tree and it took along time to get his bike back up!! The last time I did that track was about three weeks ago and it is getting worse especially on the corner you got stuck at.
i think if you ditched the big ol DR and got say a 350 or 450 for this stuff your riding ability and confidence will go through the roof mate as you're clearly a fit strong fella. you'll see how easy these tracks can be with the right tool which will then lead to confidence and your mindset will shift leading to attacking these obstacles not just merely trying to get through them. The old DR while it might be a trusty old steed, it's also holding you back mate.
Definitely a lighter bike @ choke point 3 if you're doing it on your own
Lance, you have the heart of a lion, brute strength, courage and determination filled with adventure will only get us so far, some challenges make us recognize our level of preparedness, skill, mental and physical capabilities.
you sabotaged yourself, you can't stop in the bottom of a gully and climb over logs to get out from a standstill. same as you can't ride up a steep loose hill at idle. good on you for going back again and having another go but the only thing stopping you is you, confidence is everything you have to believe you can do it and you have to commit if you lose your momentum around the corner before the hill go down and try again.
You're a mad madman Lance, that hill would be hard work on a 300. Can't fault your spirit though.
That looks intense, camera's never do justice, most badass Drz content on CZcams. Well done Lance🤘
Well done Lance, at least you have shown me where not to go in that area. 😃😃
Fantastic video as usual mate. Camera doesn't do it justice on some of those angles. Perfect example what one can accomplish by sheer determination and skill. Your a beast Mate, keep them videos coming!
Great video of testing yourself again, love your channel mate..
Bloody hell, that looked so hard!😮 you've got guts!
Lance one of the best trail riding videos I’ve ever seen .I was so scared watching .Bloody ruff tracks .thanks for making this video .Top job .Aso talking to the camera at the start is very good too .
If only we could all ride like Graham Jarvis. Cameras suck for the ego! Good effort mate!
