I'm really enjoying this series. Think doing this stuff in the 70's on a Yamaha DT175 and you have me and my buddies. Growing up in the mountain wilderness is awesome!
Thanks so much for making these videos, I am born & raised in Smithers BC. Thanks for coming and seeing our beautiful town and what we have to offer. I feel so spoiled living here and enjoying all of these trails that you have made videos on.
You are lucky to live in an area with great rides available. Thanks for sharing! Nice to see you ride, you are much better than you give yourself credit for!
Ben, thank you for coming out to Canada and doing some great riding in BC. You rode a great motorcycle through some Gnarly terrain and you did it brother!!!..... Keep riding and challenging yourself... you are doing it. Great content!!👌👌
When you're in Bear County, you should always have a bell and bear spray. Fun fact. you can tell the difference between black bear and grizzly poop because black bear poop is full of seeds, and grizzly poop has bells in it, and it smells like pepper.
Fun video. This is no way a fat joke because I have no room to talk. But you are a big guy on that 250. In the video It looks like a Grizzly Bear riding a motorcycle 😄. Been watching you since your AT days and your skills are darn good now. Keep the content coming
I don’t know if most people watching realize how tough some of these rocky trails are! You are doing a great job, by the way! That takes skill, I know it!
Excellent trail, scenery, riding skills, and cool bike!!! Now (ahem) do it on a 2 stroke with kick start and a carburetor. I promise it would be the bees knees
Do you plan on giving the trans alp by Honda a chance? its like the big brother to the cb500x and i would appreciate your input for making a decision on a purchase.
I'm a 49yo fat, nerd who just did a week long solo moto-camp trail ride around MN, WI, IA. What do you do to recover? Me: Hot tubs with cold pool dunks in between, hot showers/cold showers, protein and lotsa of water and no NSAIDs.
Shout out to Matt aka TallMan Moto for not knowing what a "scree slope" was and trying to make fun of me in my own video.

Can never find neutral unless I'm climbing, especially difficult terrain. Then it's 1 N N N 2. 😁

Great idea to get some footage from other riders of the Great and Mighty Dork in action!
getting the follow cam on you was actually a really cool thin, im glad we got to see all the splashy splashy!
Nice ...paradise lake.....one of my favorites!!!!!

I had an amazing time.
Great content & narrative included. Keep doing what your doing👍👍
Nice trails. Thänx for the show!
killer riding Ben. Well done!!
You are a great rider...maybe there’s hope for me 😊
On nights for a week and looking forward to catching up on my DITR backlog!
Your internal helmet monologue cracks me up every time. 50 percent talking to yourself and 50 percent intrusive thoughts.
LOL
Awesome day riding with you bud. Lets get together and ride some more!
Hell yes
Great videos.
Great video!!!! Looks like a fun day.
Definitely liked seeing you ride. Good camera angle. Fun video.

The third person view of you bouncing down the trail was awesome, you can sure toss that little bike around.
Love that we get to watch you this time...what an amazing ride!
Ben I'm 90% sure I just blew my ACL.. so my videos well start with gear reviews instead of Australia first..I hope you will like them

Was that a laper. He pulled right in front of you😮😮. Good control. 😊😊 motocross dude.
That footage of you jumping from behind was awesome! Looks like you were having a blast!🤘
I was having a great time. The suspension on my bike, not so much 😂
This is an awesome series you've put together. You are stoking my Dirt Fever 🏍️🤠🪨
What an absolutely epic adventure brother 👊 so jelly but definitely inspired
Great series Ben!
Great ride my friend! Thanks for sharing!

The age old question is answered. The bear does not shit in the woods, he shits in the road!

Sometimes good to push your envelope but always good to be honest about what you want to tackle👍
I push on a scale. The further in the woods I am, the less I’m likely to push.
No more bdr alternative routes for you. You’re killing it there !!
When you see a sign that says { trespassers will be violated} then you should worry
Watching from Australia - Amazing footage and great commentary. Can I ask what mic you are using with the Insta 360 - sounds great
You're hitting it out of the park with your consistent content. Hoping there will be your final thoughts on the CRF250RX at the end!
I didn't ride one so probably not, unfortunately. I did a review of the 250F already, though.
😂 here I sit waiting on new handlebars to arrive because I too f#cked around and found out... Himalayans come with crappy bars😂 but it's still fun
A couple got ate by a Grizzly over in Banff just last week. It true, can be googled. Adds a bit of spice to backcountry riding :)
Need more Tim please 😂 - for the ladies 🎉
what style of hand grips are those dork?
where in bc was that ?
Great ride. When are you riding with daughter???
When she shows any interest in it again. She's 16 now ;)
Now that you've been on a several nice Japanese bikes do you still recommend the Brozz/Chinese bikes?
If you know what you're getting yourself into and want a functional bike that doesn't cost very much, then yes.
Dork, you seem to be loving the 250f. Would you ride the same terrain on a 300l?
Yes...but I'd want some suspension work probably. The extra 70 pounds would make a difference.
What mountain is this with the obelisk looking antenna?
Ham radio repeater
Ben, how do you send all your content to your editor?v
Do you plan on giving the trans alp by Honda a chance? its like the big brother to the cb500x and i would appreciate your input for making a decision on a purchase.
As soon as I can find one. They aren't here locally yet.
Just got a 2013 KLR 650 do you think it would fair well in this environment?
No.

Hot shower. Cold beer. Ibuprofen in the morning. Lots of complaining throughout.
Could the CBX make it up that?
Not with me on it.
What ever happened to wheelie thru the puddles? Instead these guys almost take themselves of the bike with brush,branches,🤔
100% carnivore ftw.
You guys need to come with another nickname for this guy. “Prince Harry”should be considered a major insult. You’re basically calling him a simp.
Pretty sure I'm calling him a prince.
