  • Well here we are, the first episode of a new direction of mine: short sharp stupid adventures.
    I hope you liked this build video, I tried to make it as interesting as possible for normal people haha.
    As I said at the end of the video. Just the Jeep parts alone cost me over $5,000. So if you'd like to help future videos happen (I have lots more adventures like this planned). Then you can send PayPal donations to ed.march@c90adventures.co.uk
    PayPal link at c90adventures.co.uk/donate
    Buy merchandise at c90adventures.co.uk/shop
    Or just like an subscribe to the channel :)
    Cheers, and see you in the next episode of the mini jeep adventure, which I've already begun editing.
    Awesome laser cutting company I used in this video www.foxfablaser.com Thanks again Nate 🙂
    Oh and to answer a very frequent question: if you'd like to get a mini jeep for yourself, the one I'm driving is a genuine patented Coolster gk-6125a coolster.com/vehicles/gk-6125a/ Any others are copies and often don't even have suspension, or are rear engined so they don't turn corners 😬

    Hello, Ed. I recently quit my job (32 y/o) and attempted soloing the TransAmerica Trail in the US on a Honda Trail 125 (Aug-Sep '22). I did this mostly because of the vids you make and loved the idea of doing an adventure on a small bike. You were a heavy inspiration in this. Unfortunately I crashed 2200 miles and 9 states in, and now the bike is heavily damaged and inoperable. I am fine, but the trip was forced to end after 15 days. I will attempt next year. Thank you truly from the bottom of my heart for all you do. You got me to live the dream for a brief moment!

      Dang man! I bet you could've fixed it, or bought a replacement. I would be willing to find parts near by if still necessary. I believe there are a few 90a around for parts, but obviously that is difficult to communicate everything.

      To get 2200 miles on your first attempt is a huge achievement. Only the most lucky get it right first time. You'll have learnt a ton, can prepare better, and you'll get it next time. Best of luck mate.

    Hi Ed. My 2 friends and I quit our jobs, bought motorcycles, and rode over 7000 miles from Colorado to Colombia all because your videos inspired us to get out and see a part of the world that so many people tend to write off as too unsafe. We had the time of our lives and i just want to say thank you for being you.
    Because your stupidity is contagious, our next trip involves riding Honda groms to the Sturgis Rally in 2023.
    And thanks for continuing to make videos. They have more impact than you may know.
