I know it's easier said than done, but don't let the comments get you down. If it helps, think of it as profit. The more people comment and engage with the channel the more the youtube algorithm pushes the video and the more views it gets, which leads to more profit for you.
I can't remember who it was that said it, but that person said something like "it doesn't matter if you watch me because you like what I do, or if you watch because you don't like it. Either way you're watching and I'm winning"
I also see a lot of people mentioning Itchy Boots and that she has more experience etc. but it's also worth mentioning that she didn't have *any* experience adventure riding before she started her very first journey. Everyone starts somewhere, no one is born an expert. It takes time to learn and gain experience and that's both normal and okay. You got this.
Sorry for the long comment, I just wanted to leave a little support in the middle of all the critique.
And it is actually a huge support.
It’s weird how people don’t see what you see. Everyone mentions itchy boots and I just don’t understand. I started three weeks ago with 1900km under my belt. It literally doesn’t get newer than that.
Want to hear the sad truth; most negative comments are coming from African profiles. The few positive comments are coming from profiles without African names and pictures. Isn’t that wild?! African supporting Africans, my ass! If I stumbled upon another girls channel doing what I’m doing while being so new to riding, I will cheer her on and say words of prayer for her, not tear her down with negativity and wish her death.
People keep comparing me to someone who started 6 years ago and has done over 160,000km. How the hell am I being compared to this person? I have no idea.
Itchy boots this, she does that. Who the hell says I want to be someone else? I am carving my niche and I am EBAIDE. I love camping and the outdoors. I was traveling and camping long before the bike came, and I am continuing what I love. Must I do what someone else is doing to be allowed to breathe?! I am traveling and not just riding, riding is ONLY my means of traveling. I WILL keep doing ME, anyone who doesn’t like it should STOP WATCHING MY CHANNEL.
But as you said, all the comments are making the video do even better.
I am gaining experience by the day and getting better. It is MY travel, and I am treating it as such.
This comment means a lot. God bless you ❤️
You missed your turn to Kericho - Kisumu rd at Mau Summit Total petrol station junction.
Study your route before you leave and note the major landmarks before your turns ..petrol station, hotel, school, etc.
Best wishes.
Take heart girl,you will run into trouble be strong and try to work out to be physically stronger , just a new subscriber
Thanks for sharing your journey and even the most vulnerable parts! Must say the audio had improved alooot 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. If you do need help troubleshooting feel free to email the raw audio formats then can advice cause its sounds like you have reliable brands, could be a matter of setting to cut down your edit times. On the bike, if possible get a new one, and maybe practice a bit more in Kenya long distances and offroad maybe till you can ride with one arm on the handle bar cause you shared about your surgery and we really want to see you finish this!!! Praying for you!
Your a Brave Woman, Their will be challenges ahead, Have hope and believe, Great journey and video Much Love....!
I salute your courage Ebaide 🙏🏾💪🏾WellDone.. wishing safety, more strength
Sorry for everything you are facing, I pray you have the strength to keep going
You need to buy a GPS to use and also have handy map of your route so as not to go missing again
I feel for you girl.. You will be okay. Don't give up dear. Keep going. Its your first time. You will get better over time...
You are doing Great.. My Sister. Stay Safe, one step at a time...WE MOVE...ALL is possible, Please take some time to fully Map out your travels, remember this was the soft bit.
Oh Ebaide! I feel your pain and struggle😔 ...Don't give up we've got your back... kenyans are friendly ..keep going..🥰
Keep pushing!! Dont cry we all got your back. Kenyans are friendly and ready to help.
The hash reality is that it’s tough regardless of one’s experience driving from kenya to Nigeria, then being a newbie its 10x as tough , just slow down your pace , drive shorter distances it’s a marathon not a sprint, study your maps its very important and buy a navigation device n mount on your bike it’ll help you with directions. You should get a set of panniers instead of packing your luggage the way you did , you should definitely take the bike to the manufacturer mechanic before you leave kenya
Thank you so much for this comment. Thank you so much for watching my video with an open mind. Thank you for understanding what it means to be new and giving constructive advice ❤️
Well done Itchy boots of Kenya Nigeria 👍
I am truly so proud of you Ebaide. Do only what your heart tells you. Only your heart knows. Meditate and relax. Let your heart tell you to either keep going or do whatever you need to do. Whatever it is, know that you are admired, loved, and respected.
Amazing to see you. Thanks
Cheering you as you go🎉
Basically girl you are a survivor wow God protect you as you continue with dis journey
You can do it Ebaide, That is the spirit
Im really rooting for your success ❤🎉
Take heart go for shorter distances untill you get enough experience again service your bike well the frame has a bent and its giving you issues swap for a new frame .
Ebaide... Failing to plan.. is planning to fail!! But learning from experience is the best!!
Ooh my.
The struggle is real. Aki pole. But you're doing well regardless.
Baby steps are the hardest. Every time you inch forward, those falls, the frustrations, the good people who take the time help, thoughts in your head and the motivation that made you do this will make you gain a wealth of experience. Calm seas never made a skillful sailor. Keep going. Every segment of your journey plan, plan and plan. research the the terrain before departure to mentally prepare yourself for what's coming. Every thought happens in your head so be mindful of those negative ones. rooting for you! 🏍🏍🏍
You need to do route briefing before departure and keep on checking Google maps at every junction. Secondly you need to invest on GPRS monitor rather than depending on phone for navigation
you have to keep pushing like itchy boots
Ebaide, what a ride this was, first congratulations for the far you have come for a new biker big up👏🏻👏🏻I would say keep going it will get harder am sure but there are a few things I would urge you to do, load down, carry the very essentials you need, you would rather add as you go. Get that bike fixed in Kisumu or your next big town stop. Also buy a hard copy updated map, why you may ask?! when your phone goes off you just might have an idea of where you are going, or where you at. Listen to your gut if it says you have made a wrong turn it won’t hurt to stop and confirm and take a breather from time to time. Truth be told you are about to enter very unknown territory and you need as much information as possible, enquire, read your map, google, do whatever you need to do to make it through. Praying for you and wishing you all the best, remember you are your own competition so if it takes your longer to finish this trip no one will judge you.. keep going make as many stops as you need to, stay safe and take your time and enjoy your little achievements every day. God keep you safe🙏🏽❤✌🏽👊🏽👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So nice to see my region those are actually my MTbike trails I ride on them for exercise every time am home unfortunately I haven't been home for a while and I wish I could be there to help you 😢. The video gives me lots of memories my word trust me you wouldn't want to experience the rain on those teafarms it's absolute nightmare.That camping site also is miles away literally at the end of the hills but so glad you finally got there.Big up to further adventures ahead.
Kenya has good communication & logistics networks. Beyond Kenya you'll have problems with Google maps, mobile telephony, good roads, available camping sites /hotels, language barriers, fuel availability, hostile tribes e.g South/Sudan.etc...Be warned.
It'll not be a walk in the park.
Hugs gal
You really trying
Hi dear, i think your bike need special alignment on the frame, moreover go short distance first before considering longer one, so that you can get use to it, best wishes
Lakini umejaribu my sister big up
Every adventure starts somewhere, and you have more b*lls than most to be taking on such a challenge as this being a new rider. Ebaide, when you reach Nigeria, the tears will flow with joy.... Accept the hardship in between, and keep on plugging at it.... We are all with you in spirit.
It's getting real...Go Ebaide
You could have studied the route well to minimize time wasting . You're a brave woman keep going .
I don't think you know the dangers ahead of you. You are simply not ready for this trip. I personally don't think you'll make it. So I beg you to go back to Nairobi, and take at least three to four months to prepare. You are not ready, your bike is not ready. Fix your bike or get a new bike. You should have at least two phones, two tablets for Navigation, and multiple chargers. Consider subscribing to a satellite phone service.
Always study your route ahead of time. Get a physical map of Kenya and countries on your route just in case your phone dies as in this case. I also hope you have gotten or at least know how you are going to go about getting visas for the countries on your route. Also don't forget papers and insurance for the bike may be needed when you start crossing into different countries.
I am looking forward to you resuming your trip to Nigeria in a few months. Go in the dry season when there is less rain and roads are dryer and firmer. You should also consider taking a partner to ride with you when that time comes. I understand you want to be brave but you going on this trip at this time is a very foolish idea and I consider it as no more than a suicide mission. Please, please listen to all your fans. They love you and they want to see you win, but victory only favours the prepared.
Rooting for you!!!
It's always one step at a time. Focus on fixing the bike and weight distribution for your load then continue with your adventure. All the best.
Just go back to Nairobi and board a plane back to Nigeria. How will you navigate Congo and CAR if you are crying in Kenya?
yes, esp with the ammount of rain in those places. I think itchy boots is really strong considering how she is doing it relentlessly
@@kennedycheskaki Itchy boots success lies in advance and in-depth through planning, 100 attention to well being of the bike ( no excess camping gear, her job is riding not camping) and vast experience in motorbike riding, she compete in international races. Alsp being a geologist she understand the terrain and the geography of where she is.
@@kennedycheskaki Is not about being strong, but years of experience in riding, a lot thought and time in preparation and listening to the locals, people who uses the road daily. Those things make it look easily, is like a watching a flowless ballet dancing couple and thinking I can do that without acknowledging the numbers of hours put into practice.
I will tend to agree with most people here. First and foremost you need to get that motor cycle fixed.The worst thing is getting a breakdown in a remote area. Your tires are not tubeless and I am not sure if you can fix a puncture if you have to. You also need to be able to light your motorcycle by yourself because believe me there’ll be times when you are entirely by yourself. Lastly is the issue of your navigation. There’s no way you will successfully navigate that entire hour using a phone to navigate. So invest in a proper navigation system. Otherwise I am rooting for you and definitely wish you the best. This video kept me on the edge. Also please slow down and be alert always❤
If kino can travel with a tricycle,I believe you can do it also.
So sorry, you shall be okay
Very sorry Ebaide about the situation.
I haven't panicked like this before for a total stranger.Please stay safe and watch your speed and how you overtake.
Wah be careful madam , we worry about your safety .
Your bending problem can be as a result of a few issues, Suspension Misalignment, Bent fork, uneven shock absorbers, wheel alignment or even brakes, sticky or unevenly applied brakes could cause the bike to pull to one side.
I'll just be here praying for you honesty because wueh!
Angepigapiga roundi huku ndio apate experience at least.
Hello Ebaide, first sort the bent bike, then get separate gadgets for your Navigation and communication. keep an actual Map as a contingency. Take more time to get used to the bike and smoothen your control skills to avoid panic and crumbling under pressure. Finaly, " FESTINA LENTE" ...'MAKE HASTE SLOWLY'
Honestly I prayed for you when you left mombasa, am seriously scared for you since you don't have too much experience with this. Sometimes it's good to take advice from people who care for you, please don't risk your life trying to prove something. Take a break do mote practices until you feel you're ready. You're really scaring me even to watch you. May the Lord protect you and his Angels 🙏
I totally agreed
🤣🤣
You may need to reconsider this journey... Trust me these conditions are quite favorable and you can expect worse going forward... If you can't cope with this, then you may find yourself in worse situations in remote areas with no one to help
What an ordeal, Ebaide! I am not a bike expert at all but, take the advice of many I see here...have your bike sorted before you get to sparsely populated roads. You are so in my prayers and, may God in heaven keep sending you angels along the way. I pray you are able to sort out your power bank before you leave. Perhaps look for a second cheaper smartphone just for Google maps. Be safe out there.💕
In Kenya we have roadblocks manned by police stop & ask them your way ....N:B Get your equipment & GPS kit from GARMIN in Nairobi for your safety & take your bike to a service center here in Kenya, for once you cross out of Kenya support is non existent.....plse dont stop your adventure but make the right decisions....
Oh boy. What is this obsession with "Camp Sites" most camp sites are so off the road it's an entire trip in its own to go to them. Best strategy is stay on the main roads get to a regular hotel first then if you want to make a day trip out to camp at least you have a familiar base within the area that you can return to not more that 25 km at most. Get a physical road map as well for when the electronics fail. Goodness who prepared you for the trip? I'm. Very worried at this point.
Yes she should quite this camping site obsession. She thinks she's saving money by camping but actually, the fuel and the time, the physical and mental energy expended while doing off roads negates it all .
Keep it going girl.. Itchy Boots will know we have an African qieen who dares to travel on bike gallantly across Africa.
I’m sorry you look ill prepared. I don’t know how long you can cope with this back pain and also the bad bike frame.
Heey Ebaide , the more you keep dropping the bike on one side the more damaged its becoming,so i would advice you try not to fall and watch itchy boots she will inspire you more. Safe journey
Hi you bike needs to be stripped to the frame so that it can be aligned. The frame is offset because of the falls you had earlier
That is my view also. The wheels can also be bent.
It's the fork ,which is holding the front wheel which needs to be centred .@@samuelmbugua8414
Return that bike to the dealer for repairs.
It's still on 2 years warranty and too many problems .
Look at you tube on the right way of picking a bike that will stop you on straining your spine.
@@Badlander87X stop asking silly questions .
Do not give up.
Plan better. From Naivasha to Kisumu is a very easy trip even for a novice rider. Plan every ride like it's the 1st one.
Go Ebaide💪 The first time you are doing anything,it always comes with challenges. DON'T GIVE UP.
You've got this, you will make it.But in everything always put God first.
Hi, Girl, first and foremore know that you are on this trip alone. Avoid overspeeding. Study your map well to avoid misroutes. Repair your bike coz at one point youll not be in a position to stand anymore due to your back pain caused by the bent bike. Reach Kisumu or Eldoret and visit a motorbike dealer to sort out your problem. Stop crying, youre a big Girl and some people are learning from your journey so be of an encouragement. Safe journey
She should watch Itch boots (Norally) videos from the beginning up to the current. There is a lot to learn from them
Please look fot a professional gps device. Also, Stay strong. You got this
In this your attitude and intelligence matters more. You need to be smart, patient and well prepared. Don't be afraid to ask for help in advance
Hi dears, solution to your bike is to get a new bike.
Safe journey and please don’t joke with your back.
Ms Ebaide....you need to get side mounted saddle bags to lower the COG of that bike and to distribute evenly the weight. I don't ride bikes but i can tell that the weight distribution on yours is off and causing you a lot of problems with balance and controllability which will only worsen as the roads you travel get worse. Please also find it in your mind to try and relax while riding....remember how you can do that in a car, even take your hands off the wheel while driving that you thought was impossible when learning to drive?? It will help with the bodily pain you are feeling from holding onto the tension too long.
Thanks God you got lost in Kenya; if it were in DRC or Central Africa Republic... I don't want to imagine what would have happened.
honestly with all that anxiety in road i wont lie to you it will get you killed, so just plan your journey well especially the heavy luggage,and riding at your pace. it will get tougher when you leave kenya. be safe out there Ebaide
@@massiveempire2725I didn't see that.
My fear is without courage plus strong mentality will leave her expose to calamity , Ebaide should have a map . The google map is not 100percent .
On the highway always drive with your headlights on.
Infact this is NTSA regulation. Even without NTSA, light travel faster than sound.
Ebaide,Have been watching you since your arrival in Kenya, i was so excited to follow this journey from Mombasa,after watching this am honestly so scared ●the way you are driving●overtaking carelessly in a dangerous road●bent bike which can cause a serious back issue●Relying on your phone for navigation...
Please seat down take your time to restrategize,plan your trip
Get a device to help you navigates when your phone goes off...you cant rely on phone alone because you're about to get to places with zero network,language barrier,bad roads,forests...Am wishing you all the best ,safety and be careful❤
Stop, recover, reassess, recover, plan the route head out.
That will be a long ride and good luck. Not balanced luggage. You need to plan your trip carefully before you jump on the bike.
Your are doing okay. Work on your navigational and trip planning skills. Learn as you move.
Always buy hard copy maps of the places/countries you visit.
Needless to say, and in addition to all the advice given so far (please take heed of these for your safety) looks to me that you're going to need better off-road tyres cos you barely have any grip on dry dusty roads.
Visor down, eyes up.
And safe travels
Try to adjust your baggage, one side might be heavier . It need balance. That’s why you are balancing with your body. Congratulations besafe!!
Even as you exercise caution you need to ask for directions when lost. Don't just ask anyone, but not asking is no good either. Petrol stations. People driving cars, etc.
Always have enough battery power banks and ask for directions!
Just go on, I see you are adventurous and explorious 😂
As the streets say kula kiburi yako 😂 it will lick you well well 😂... Lagos, Nigeria is the destination. May God protect you.
What you need to do is invest in a very good GPS to give you direction.
Only if you new that when you were at londiani you were to proceed to the junction take a right and you would have had your way to kisumu but be encouraged this what you call adventure
I think you will reach in june your not in a hurry
I told you to take me along ...up to lagos as a co-driver or as an out of camera rider n escort.
I wanted to do biking country to country but i started hasiteting when I watch you struggling this was not easy traveling at all
I think the load stilts towards one direction
You should have spent the night in a nearby restaurant just like kino the you tuber does.... it could have saved you a lot ...consider that on your remaining journey.
am ur fun from kenya but currentry in qatar .i hope u know itchy boots
c.mon, dont cry, now this is what we call adventure. There are times you'll encounter challenges while deep in the forest, good example is congo forest. Impassible roads and heavy rains. This are challenges that will harden you.
Sorry Ebaide, you went straight into the Eldoret Road...
How will this girl cross the Forests in Central Africa? It will be interesting to watch. Goodluck
It was so emotional
Look out for the trucks kindly. Again you can look at different youtube channels and how other people handle such situations. Besides, you can just check for hotel rooms along major highways before learning how to explore interior camp sites. Don't overspeed and buy satellite gps equipment big enough to view while riding.
Seems like our girl is not ready for this!
I’ve watched the full video and please, please take some time to garner some experience before you embark on this journey. Kenya is a lot more tame compared to the road and landscape conditions of central and west Africa. It’s a matter of life and death at this point, so please take a long needed break and attempt when you’re more experienced 🙏🏾
Check for the frame bushes layman language is "bushes ya six"
on the brighter side you were able to see the beauty of kapsimotwa, if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger
Get a Xiaomi RedMi phone as a backup. It keeps power better. You cannot rely on iPhone and Samsung in that journey.
You need to have so much training on navigation..Kenya is a very straightforward place with amazing roads,if you are struggling then it means you aren’t ready for this trip…if you see the routes itchy boots has gone through you will know that you aren’t ready to go beyond Kenya..stay more in Kenya,fix your bike,work on your skills and gain more experience..it’s for your own safety
I’m learning so much from this trip. I’m doing mine until I have a GPS.
Sorry for your struggle my dear but also get a GPS to guide you so that you don't get lost and also get enough experience before embarking on your international travel much love from kenya🇰🇪 @Jayboy 254
Ebaide sorry for the journey be strong... both mentally and physically..several assistance i may have for you
1. buy a google map tablet it's around $ 100 -- wont be going on and off ( i think this was why you missed your main route )
2. try some anger management.
3. you may have your plan for the day but since you are going through places that you dont know off, be having a plan B in mind like not necessarily finish the day plan but take a break and continue following day .
4. be carrying atleast two accessories same for emergency purpose
5. i saw from the beginning, you are carrying a lot of weight... nothing like getting used to it, it will be hurting best to offload some.
anyway God be with you and be strong... the journey will make you stronger..we are with you
My uncle used to ride from Mombasa to Uganda for xmas in 9hours
I love your content @ebaide. I know everyone is offering their opinion, I’m from Nandi and I would have easily hosted you or offered some navigation brainstorming. You’d be surprised how many locals can help. If you’re comfortable with that, probably try it in your next stopovers.
Also, not to add salt to the wound, but try getting another phone for navigation, preferably an android
I know Nandi hills, I was screaming you turning off the road turning to Nandi Hills route. Pole. you are very courageous.
The Tea plantation is crazy and there you can and will surely get lost. Adventure needs alot of Life skills and Courage
Ebaide, you are very courageous and keep it up. Its not easy for an African girl to do this. Please learn to used maps as well. Google maps wont work everywhere beyond Kenya. I lost it when you headed back to Mombasa on your previous episode. As you say, you dont have 7 lives, there is a carnibal tribe in Uganda and Eastern Congo has war. Plan and Plan Carefully. Every decision you make, every corner you turn be sure and reasure yourself. Get information of the way youll use before you leave. Also tents are fine but make sure you are in a closed compound all the time. GOD BLESS YOU
