My only comment is that I wish you did more videos. One of the absolutely best on RUclips. The cinematography is outstanding, and the commentary is always spot on!
That is completely awesome to Stephen back at it!!! Nick was forbidden from returning to "Ride with Locals" after he drowned one of their machines, LOL 🤣
I’ve driven more or less the whole of Iceland, and it’s hard to explain how long it take to navigate the West Fjords. It can take hours to get to a place you can see just across the water. :-) Lovely video mate; you really took me back.
I've been waiting for this moto adventure to come out since you published it! I didn't know I had a dream until I saw the first video in this series. Hopefully, there will be another video. Thanks, Mr. Pearson, for such amazing production!
Hi Brent, this is absolutely outstanding. You truly are a magician putting these things together. Your drone work is incredible. It really captures all of the scenery and what you experienced along the way. If I had to rate this one out of 10, I think it’s worth 100. Thanks for all the great work putting this together.
Mate this was just amazing and if you don't mind, I've shared it on a number of Facebook pages. This is something I'll never experience in my lifetime but you've given me the best experience possible just by watching this amazing video. Thank you so much.
Brent, your videos are masterful. Thanks for taking the time to put them together and share them with us. Skuli definitely should have paid the beer😂. Thanks mate.
Amazing video Brent. Thanks. Skúli puts together amazing tours of his homeland. Big adventures! Did the Highlands 6 day in June/July '22. We had great weather which I was grateful for. Highlands was challenging for me at 74 but quite doable and minimalist! 🥂 for RWL!
Superb! It was actually your initial Iceland trip that lit the spark for me to want to get back into riding after more than 2 decades of not. I now have a 701. Being a massive 'Sigur Ros' fan, I'd love to get myself to Iceland one day. Thanks so much.
@@brentbat Hi Brent can you please give me the contact info of the owner of this tour group? this looks so cool i would love to do this myself. Thank you.
Another amazing video Brent. You do such high quality productions, they’re a pleasure to watch. Great subject matter, beautifully shot and edited. Keep up the great work. Heaps of us look forward to post. Cheers
What a spectacular video and a great promotion for our country. I have ridden some of these routes on my GSA1250 and your video made me want to take off today and go again. I will definitely go as soon as I can. Thank you Brent for your great video
Thx lot for this second Iceland movie . Great shooting and good advices. We plan a 3 weeks trip next summer with our 2WD Ural side car. Your video makes us seriously considering the west fjords. Cheers from France ✌️
Brent you sure know how to give the viewer a visual treat , with both words and music thats really calming . Watching this made me think of a bbc nature production with david Attenborough. As alwasy a pleasure to watch !
Bro I have been watching your videos since 2 hours this is one of the crazy epic scenes and expertise riding skills great video and iam from India , epic places omg breathtaking views , one of the crazy videos that’s I’ve ever seen good going bro
Thank you for bringing this to us. Truly wonderful to see such a spectacular place. I am currently enjoying my 23 701 and all the benefits it offers. We have some great riding here in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, but your videos have me yearning to do and see more. At 65 now with a pace maker, new knee, and bolts in my back and pelvis, my desire to ride and explore has only increased. People are always questioning me as to why I still ride.I feel sorry for them… they just don’t get it. I’ll pass this along. Well done Sir
Thanks for another fantastic bike video!👍 I did "the Bulldogger" trail with my 1250GSA last summer. I was on my own and there was no cellphone coverage, so when I reached the beach with the big stones at 8PM I decided it was safest to turn back. 😕
That would have an exciting solo ride. When you hit the beach you were almost done. Only about 200 yards of stones then back to easy dirt track. But then you got to ride it twice 😀
Hey little feedback. I think you should quickly change the thumbnail on this video. Because it was the thunmbnail on the other video, that catched my eye and i needed to click and absolutely not regretted it :)
I’m only 6 minutes in and I already wish this was an hour long video instead of a halfa! Iceland realistically isn’t on bucket lists as an Aussie so love to see more, maybe release a long Directors Cut? 😜
Most part of himalay(Nepal) i ride on my bike but watching this video i fell once if i can i should ride to iceland.you people's are nice rider once try Nepal .Thanks for video.Enjoying it from Nepal.❤❤❤
Amazing viseo once again Brent, the drone work, the commentary, editing.....all of it was mindblowing. How cold were your hands riding with no gloves though?
June is the best month for the fjords Ps: west fjords is only the west you have all the fjords north center which are quite spectacular and less touristic. Especially that track to the black sand beach…
PHENOMENAL!!👏🥰❤️QUICK QUESTION: I was just curious, What drone(s) are you using? Looks like maybe a Skydio 2 for the “follow” stuff? Thanks! Again, Fantastic Job!!
Very very good. As a viewer I would to see one of your “how to” instructional films on color correction, from very first look and how to go about it. Like that beach scene in or around the 14 minute mark. Really brilliant!
@@brentbat so I shoot in Flat now as you suggested. So when I have the footage, esp on an overcast day, what are the steps to colorize? Irregardless of the software how do I start and what are the principal’s eg start with contrast but stop when the clouds lose their distinction (as you did with the beach shot)?
@@thecorporategypsy Hey there, ok I'm not sure which version of gopro you have, but I'll assume it is an 11 or older and that you aren't using a GoPro 12 shooting log. So my approach to colour correction is a) Add more contract (i am using Lumetri for colour correction and I add about +30 contrast b) I then also add saturation (again about +30). c) Then I'm looking at the scopes and adjusting the white and black levels so that they are maximised, but don't clip. d) I'm also doing colour balance by adjusting the temp and tint sliders to remove any casts. That should give you a colour corrected pleasing image. Then I finally apply a creative lut at the end to create the look at feel I want. I'll have to demonstrate it in a video... maybe I can do it this week.... if not, next week.
@@brentbat that is huge many thanks. I have a GP11, 8 and am looking to get the 12. Plus a 360 (but probab going with GP color setting as use this camera in very very specific situations as have same view as you on quality and its fiddly), plus Skydio and DJI mini 4 pro. Thats very big principals as it was a bit overwhelming ie where to start. Thanks again!
Stunning scenery and a masterfully produce video. That being said everything I saw would be easily ridden by a 890-1290R. Is it the economics for the tour companies to buy these cheaper bikes? And yes I have plenty of the time on 450’s, 690’s and my 1190R. I saw a lot of low skilled riders having issues with the smaller bikes on easy terrain so maybe it’s just the demographic of the clients that necessitate single track bikes for open roads🤷🏻♂️ I’d love to do this some day but I’d have a hard time riding with a vastly diverse group of strangers. Wish I could ship my bike and do a self guided tour, but maybe that’s not allowed in those remote places?
You can do self guided rides if you want. The reason for the smaller bikes is because most of the time the tours are in the highlands which are fully off road. The lighter bikes are not only easier, but a lot more fun. You could easily do the West Fjords on a large adventure bike. But I wouldn’t take one on some of the Highlands tracks we rode last year.
Hi, I’m living in Iceland and I want to buy a bike to do little commuting but mostly do this kind of adventures. Do you think BMW 310 GS is a good choice for this off road conditions? Is it off road enough?
Yes it is. But I’m pretty quick on launching and retrieving the drone so it’s not a big inconvenience. I also showed them the footage on day 1 so they could appreciate the drone perspective.

That lady that kept crashing is a champ. She took some hard spills and got back on the bike and kept riding. She's got the fighting spirit.
Brent, your videos are masterful. Thanks for taking the time to put them together and share them with us. Skuli definitely should have paid the beer😂. Thanks mate.
Hahaha, I am implementing that beer-for-cut policy from now on! I love it.
@@MotoRidesAustralia SAME!!!!
So glad for you upload this video, im going to do the trip, now is one of my crazys dreams, and thank you for give me new dreams
Thanks for sharing Brent. Iceland is going on the bucket list!
Awesome work Brent. Drone work was amazing, cinematography, music the whole shebang 10 / 10. 👍👍
Great!!!!
Amazing!!!
Many thanks for sharing your adventure.
Congratulations!!!
As usual a sensational video. Thanks for sharing. I've been wondering where you've been. I love your videos. 😊
Another masterpiece. Enjoyed this one and beautifully narrated too. Keep 'em coming, Brent, best wishes to you👍🏻

If you did the highlands at 74... then my hat goes off to you. I hope I'm still riding into my 70s.
Superb! It was actually your initial Iceland trip that lit the spark for me to want to get back into riding after more than 2 decades of not. I now have a 701. Being a massive 'Sigur Ros' fan, I'd love to get myself to Iceland one day. Thanks so much.
The 701 is a great bike. I also enjoy Sigur Ros.

Another great one Brent. I really got to get myself out to Iceland to ride.
This is one of the wonderful videos on You tube. 💖 from Kerala, India.
Gorgeous work as always! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!
Fantastic trip and production! Thanks a lot! A great inspirer! 👏😄
The more I see of Iceland the more I want to go there... thanks for sharing Brett. :)
Fecking brilliant. Thank you. Thank you. Perhaps after I ride Patagonia.
Everything in this video is so beautifull and amazing. Narration is pretty amazing too. Love from India
Mate.
Your short videos are second to none!
Looks like it was an awesome adventure. Great job
What an adventure!!! The video is absolutely fun to watch. Hope to follow these trails one day
Thanks Brent for another great Iceland vid , your video editing has to be the best I’ve seen , some amazing shots.
Another brilliantly made video, Brent. I have always enjoyed your video since your BDR vid. Keep it up.
Thanks so much for putting these together Brent! Absolutely stunning… 👍🏻
You did a great job capturing the beauty of the Icelandic Westfjords! Well done.
How does this guy only has 38k followers? These videos are amazing! Keep up the good work!
100% agree
Incredible footage, Brent. What a trip!!
The scenery on both trips is utterly mindblowing.

What’s the company, and what do they charge? You bring your own gear… as this looks like a must see adventure!!
Ride with locals.
All the info is on their site.
Which Drone do you use...FPV?
Amazing shots 👍
I had 2 drones with me on the ride, A Skydio 2+ for autonomous flying and an Avata 2 for FPV.
Wow! I know you had a skydio drone but it looks like you now have an FPV drone 🤔
Yes. I carry two drones now and love mucking around with the fpv drone.
excellent video! what time of the year was that?
Late June
Its on my list.

You could easily do the West Fjords on a large adventure bike. But I wouldn’t take one on some of the Highlands tracks we rode last year.
I like day 3 and day 6 trips!
But I got one question, should the rider need to pay for the crash?
Hi, I’m living in Iceland and I want to buy a bike to do little commuting but mostly do this kind of adventures. Do you think BMW 310 GS is a good choice for this off road conditions? Is it off road enough?
Yes. I think you could ride most of the tracks on a GS. Perhaps not the dandy tracks but 90% of them for sure.
It must be nice to have a group stop so you can use your drone
Yes it is. But I’m pretty quick on launching and retrieving the drone so it’s not a big inconvenience. I also showed them the footage on day 1 so they could appreciate the drone perspective.
8:50 is that guy riding with no gloves on??? 🥶
That guy would be me. When I’m flying the drone I ride with no gloves so I can control the drone easier.
Guess the HQ/KTMs failed with severe camshaft failure?
No. 2 701s failed with slipping clutches.
