    GREAT respect for you guys NOT riding on the grass but clearly staying on the trail, regardless of the huge mud ! You are a perfect example of taking care of our privilege to be out in such wonderful landscape. (with our bikes, jeeps, trucks....) Good work 👍

    @chrisrose9519 23 дня назад

    I did Island Park Idaho to Banff last year on a 690…. So I went up fleecer ridge. With a loaded bike it was super challenging to keep the front wheel down however I had success on the first attempt. People have no idea how steep that climb is unless you’ve seen it in person. Videos make it look so much mellower. You probably made the right (safe) choice.

    Had you cut over to Henry's Lake from Monida (as opposed to from Lima), you would've avoided the muddy mess, South Valley Rd to the south of Lima Reservoir and Red Rock Lakes is well maintained gravel. North Valley Road sucks in both wet (muddy) and dry (dusty, silk).

    Beautiful part of the country!! I'm curious if you use tracks or routes with your GPS and where you got them from for this ride? That Skydio sure did a great job! I had been considering one myself, but procrastinated just enough to where that wasn't any option any longer. So, I upgraded to a Mini4 Pro....and it seems to have pretty good obstacle avoidance as well. Skydio good, I don't know, but they claim it has 360, so we shall see!

    • @NikoKavallar
      @NikoKavallar 3 месяца назад

      All the tracks are listed in the video description, I used a mix from other people and added some myself. For the Skydio there just isn’t a replacement, the DJI minis are great but the following is just not something that works for me, it’s too slow and having to have a controller doesn’t work well. You can still find used Skydio on Facebook marketplace and eBay from time to time

    • @twobikesandadrone
      @twobikesandadrone 3 месяца назад

      @@NikoKavallar I think the camera is probably better with the Mini4Pro, and for what I'll probably use it for, the obstacle avoidance is good enough I think. It seems that Kevin's routes are outdated at times, so I may steer clear of his stuff...although that just adds to the adventure I guess! I am curious though if you find the tracks option better to follow....or routes?

    • @NikoKavallar
      @NikoKavallar 3 месяца назад

      @twobikesandadrone Kevins routes are mostly good, I followed Meerkat ADV routes a lot but ran into some issue too. The most consistent ones seem to be from One Man Trail (find it on google). But in the end just get a bunch of them so if you find a roadblock you have alternatives ready

    Hi Niko! Thanks for the videos. Love it! I just learned of these videos today, 6-7-2024. I have snowmobiled the Snow Range one time but never been there in the summer. Is the WY BDR possible in a 2024 two door Jeep Rubicon? End of August early September.

    • @NikoKavallar
      @NikoKavallar 5 месяцев назад

      It absolutely is! I also got a Wrangler and the trails are definitely doable, though I also would advise not to do it when wet. It will also take longer in a Jeep so plan accordingly

      I use a Skydio 2+, the only one that can track like this. Sadly they are no longer being made

    With all those passes your previous episode (7) still had more elevation gain by 6K feet! Glad you got another drone for footage, did you get the new tires on too?

      I ended up not using the new tires, there was too much other stuff that day to work on so I didn’t have enough time to mount them

    Hey Niko, just found your channel. Great footage. I’m doing a 4,000 mile ride with an old buddy, Simon, in May and June heading out from south of Boston. I’m from the UK and have been lucky enough to have Simon doing the tech bits like where we’re going and staying. 22 days in all. Like you were recording it for exactly the reasons you are. I’m 65 and want to be able to recall my trip and bore my friends and family. A question if I may (and apologies if you covered it before) what mods have you done to your bike? I have a 2023 701 Enduro which has the Euro5 lean running issues. Yours sounds sweet. My trip in May will be aboard a 2019 690 Enduro with a ton of mods. Many thanks, Ian

    Oh my goodness these roads are rugged haha. I felt that stall at 8:14 haha, from someone who hikes often I never thought Id want to go off-roading on a bike until I watched this video. It seems like it takes a lot of skill to handle the weight of the bike going over those rocks and bumps. Great video. Thank you for the upload!

      Bike off-roading is a to of fun in the mountains. I usually refer to it as Moto-hiking haha - the nice thing is that you can cover a lot of ground and see thing that would otherwise take you multiple days to hike to

    Good decision! Those rocky roads on Taylor Pass would of freaked me out. I'm amazed how you guys got through there. When you're exhausted and the fun starts to go it's time to head home. Great series of adventures!

      Taylor pass was really though, I won’t do it again with luggage - it’s way worse than it looks haha. Thanks for watching!

      I used the tracks listed in the video description, I’ll publish my own recordings once I complete the trip but between Meerkats / GPS Kevin / Cannonshot it’s all there
