    This man has a way of putting into words and images the feelings and meaning of what it is to be a dirt bike rider.

    My little guy and I have watched you for a few years now. He started watching while riding a wooden rocker bike in the living room and then to a strider and now on a PW50. He's a huge fan of the protege series. We love the videos! Cheers from the states!

    Excellent interpretation of how dirt bikes/racing fills an important void in our world today. What you showed was resiliency, and that is what so many people lack today.

      Shelby Adkins I’m 42 just bought a cherry 🍒 2016 Suzuki GSX-S1000 had 2800 miles on it and even more importantly it had been kept in a climate controlled garage and old dude sure never road it hard! Chicken strips was wider then the wear patch 😂! Breaks was still 80% chain everything looks mint! I hopped on it rode it 13 hours back down south from almost Michigan down I-75 90mph! Hadn’t touched a bike in years but I still got the touch!

      Hah ... do it!!! .... I did. My mate got me out for a trail ride after not riding since my late teens ... instantly hooked .. went out and purchased a crf250 the next day ... then a cr250 a few months later as a project. Loving it.

  • @jaywilson7062
    @jaywilson7062 4 года назад +8

    Kind of gets me emotional lol, I once dedicated my life to dirt bikes I worked my ass off just to make sure I had one and wether I was out blasting with the boys or pushing myself to the fullest and riding till I’m numb from head to toe competing in an event or even just having a bike sitting in the shed I would never feel complete. Thank you Adam for your videos and putting it into picture and words of what every man or woman who has fallen so deep into this sport/hobby feels. 👍👍

      Hey bud I lost both legs 3 years ago yesterday. I still ride dirt bikes im organising to compete for the first time. People ask me why all the time, now I can show em this video. I was electrocuted by 19,000 volts 3 times at work i was pretty messed up from it but the only thing that pushed me was wanting to ride again. And hell I ride! Enjoy ya life mate we never know when it'll end.

  • @JohnHowerton137
    @JohnHowerton137 4 года назад +39

    Best vid in a long time. Almost outdid yourself Adam. Cinematic AF!
    I almost cried as I lay in bed already longing to ride after just being hospitalized for five days with seven broken bones and a collapsed lung last week.
    My emotions mixed. Half fear and rationalization of why I shouldn't be riding at 40 years old, the other half tears of loss of something for a while that I love so much, and the idea that stopping doing what I love even crossed my mind. I guess my video would have been called "The Battle Within!"
    Outsiders just don't understand... not sure I do either. Thanks Adam 🤙

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 4 года назад +6

      A S Humphrey not saying it’s old, just saying I’m at point in my life where sometimes when things like these injuries happen, it makes you think if your priorities are really in check. Like maybe I should be investing more money instead of spending a crapload on dirtbikes and paying the rest out in medical bills? Of course this is crazy talk, usually reinforced by people who don’t ride. Riding makes us feel alive. Shouldn’t the point of living be to feel alive?
      My main riding partner is the same exact age as you. I started coaching him when the COVID lockdown started. He’s made worlds of improvement and is having fun like a kid! It gives me a lot of pleasure seeing him happy and enthusiastic to learn and improve. I know some days his body probably isn’t into it. On top of that, he still works hard physical labor part time and keeps real busy with physical things the rest of the time. No reason to believe I won’t, but I truly hope I still have the enthusiasm of you and him when I’m your age to do the thing I’ve loved almost my entire life.
      Ride on ✊

    • @waynesworld6896
      @waynesworld6896 4 года назад +5

      A S Humphrey I’m 58,and after not throwing a leg over a dirt bike for 10 years I have a new FE501 in the shed and I love it.A lot slower and a little wiser perhaps .... Anyway , went riding a few weeks ago , no offs...Then fell over on a wet deck in the back yard and tore ligaments in my ankle.
      If u gonna get hurt , may as well do it doing something u love .

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 4 года назад +4

      Wayne’s World 🤣🤷🏼‍♂️ While my recent injuries did come from a motorcycle crash, it was kind of stupid one. I describe it as the equivalent of stepping on some spilled shampoo in the bottom of the shower, slipping and breaking the scapula, clavicle, five ribs, and puncturing a lung on the edge of the tub. Just one of those “WTF just happened?” moments 🤣
      Those FE501 & 500EXCs are stellar machines. Nearly bought one... twice 🤣 Just got back into riding on accident the tail end of 2018 after stopping in 2004, mostly due to finances. Just sold my 350EXC & 250SX (2T) and got the Freeride Electric and a 250XC-F. I have a 690 for my big enduro which also acts as my tow vehicle 😋 ruclips.net/video/Ls2jiKII_So/видео.html

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 4 года назад +1

      A S Humphrey well, I'm probably with them on the 300 thing, but that's no bash on the 500 and everyone has their own riding style. I'd probably have a Rekluse on a 500.The older I get more the grunty 4-stroke power favors me. At least on the track or similar terrain. I HATE admitting that, but I also hate engine braking! I'm personally struggling with the 4T engine. Being able to pull a gear taller on the 500 helps reduce my complaints 🤣
      I love the 250F. Kind of the best of both worlds. Snappy 14k RPMs and less engine braking. 40-ish HP is kind of the sweet spot for me. If KTM still had a 200XC, specifically a counterbalanced/TPI version I'd be on it faster than flies on stink!
      Honestly, electric is superior to both. Massive smooth torque and basically no engine braking. Handling is amazeballs! Sooooo looking forward to electric bike advancements! Once battery life reaches 1hr at race paces / 50-60 mile range on trails and a top speed up to 60mph, I just don't see myself owning a gas bike anymore. Especially since they're unaffected at altitude. Current technology is exactly half that range, so I'm guessing I'll still own a gas bike for another 5 years.

    Your timing is impeccable Mr Riemann. As I sit here at 47yro nursing my first broken bones from an unscheduled excursion thru the bush. 5th gear pinned and the only thing I hit was the ground, very lucky. Trying to explain why I am soo upset at missing the rest of the riding season to my friends is difficult, they just dont get it. They have never ridden so I guess they cant really. I'll share this vid with them to help them understand. I just want to go for another ride thru that same section and kick its arse. Love your work.

Yeah It sucks ,I’m mending again and it is my 4th Injury thats put my body up for months of recovery. But I’m ok with it . I’ll be back on the bike soon , sure it’s painful and people keep telling me to stop. But like the adrenaline addict I am , I won’t stop until I am unable to swing a leg over and let it rip.

But the mind and concentration wasn't up to par for going 170 mph. So gave that up. Thinking about trying a Hare Scramble next month. You're never too old as long as your mind and body are able.
