Your new found philosophy on life reminds me a lot of stoicism, you're a smart young guy so I'm sure you know what that is but you should read up on Marcus Aurelius and other stoic philosophers, youd dig it. I do. Oh and get a KTM 2 stroke.
I’m 25 and want to lose some weight to enjoy riding more. I’ve always had a decent sized belly lol. This has definitely inspired me to just do it. I’ve been considering doing my first hard scramble this Sunday in the vintage or post vintage class. I work Saturday night/ Sunday morning so I have a lot going against me. Watching you makes me think I should just go do it. Still love all of your videos!
I must be one of those hard core bike nerds because I love watching you beat these bikes. Especially the lower priced bikes that are readily available. People forget how much performance these bikes can deliver. I currently ride a CFR250X so love your videos on that. Would love to see more of your input on that GPX eveRide, and I think you, rode. I especially love the race videos. You are smoking out there.
I did purchase your KDX issue as well.
Keep it up, we will keep watching.
Dude, I watched the entire thing. No one else on RUclips has done anything like this. It's amazing! I super appreciate all the work involved especially the editing. I know all too well how arduous it can be! Congratulations on this magnificent achievement!! Also, I hope you can make it to our next big thing :) Ty or myself will be in contact :)
Thanks for helping out with it Curt!!
I love the fact that among the team you picked a guy that had nearly no experience but was willing to push himself to the limit, that alone says a lot. Congratulations!
I'm an immigrant and US citizen now. People like you with that spirit is why I love this country !
Brutal!!!! Thanks so much for organizing and inviting me to join the team! Awesome video!
Thanks for everything you put into this! It was great having you.
This video is a masterpiece. I feel motivated to start improving my life. Thanks man.
leave the chicken mac :D
What a great video and experience!!!! So glad I could help out. Endurance racing can really break you down if you don't have the right mental attitude to push yourself beyond what you think you can do. What a great group of guys to race with, all supporting each other till the very end!
Thank you so much for all the support! My Kia will rock your logo until it explodes!
It's Friday, I get an alert that Gabe has posted a 24 hr Glen helen Video, It's going to be a Great day!!!!!!
Huge thanks for sharing the video Gabe!!!!!!!!!!
I plan on racing the 6 hours of Glen Helen in 2022(recovering from a Brain injury), can't wait!! These vids are great motivation!
Keep going strong with recovery! I'm still recovering from TBI as well. It's taking years but progress is being made. Yours sounds worse, but you got this!
R.I.P. CRF250X.

(RIP = Rebuild In Progress)
NICE! Can't wait to see it risen from the ashes. Name it Phoenix... LOL
Oh and... Brake Snake those levers... Just got to that point in the video... LOL
Lol
I liked this video so much that I just bought a die trying shirt :)
Hope my sponser helps!
Honda should pic up this video and use it as a add for the 250x that thing banging valves made it through that race amazing.
this video should have gotten more recognition, you put so much work into this video and only got a little under 20,00 views, this should have at least 100,00 views, i love your vids and was just scrolling through your old vids and saw just how little views this got
This is the best video I’ve ever seen on RUclips. When I hit play I thought I would skip through it... watched every minute. Just awesome.
I am going to the store to buy some Xmas ale to sit down and watch this. I have been waiting for this video!! I am honing my skills to be on your team some day!
Edit: You are not only a phenomenal rider, but your life outlook and philosophy are inspiring. Keep going no matter what, or until you die trying. Double like
I'm so glad that I'm an old, hard core bike nerd that fits in your demographic. I just found your channel recently and I can't stop watching. I own a 1989 XR600r and a 2004 CRF250x. Also owned a 650L in the passed, along with a KLR and Drz.
I want to see you beat the shit out of old bikes and eventually get big enough to beat the shit out of newer bikes. Love your videos. Can't wait to watch more.
The only RUclips video I'll watch for an hour and a half straight! Man you are insane and your team looked awesome! Man how man hours are on that poor 250, she's a screamer!
Prime content! It truly is an excellent story to tell. Thanks for documenting and sharing.
Man this video has me so motivated. I did the Glen Helen GP on a stock WR250R and man it was torture. I've taken it to other races too and like you say, you just have to go balls to the wall and race as hard as you possibly can. It was really cool to see how you recruited these people from all over and got them on your side to race all three endurance races. Very impressive. I want to do the same when I EAS, try to anyway. This video beats the hell of out anything I've seen on Netflix or anywhere else. Probably because I'm a rider and in the same area. Amazing stuff/
That is a huge compliment. Thank you!
It’s been a looong time since I’ve seen a video that has moved me like this one. Nice job you’ve earned a subscriber. From now on I’ll keep trying!
wow just wow! please don't stop making these brilliant videos! also i love watching the old bike you test, keep it up mate
Can't stop, won't stop!
One and a half hours? Let me just watch the first minutes to see what is this about...
1h30 later:
Its over already?
What an awesome video...
The bike nerd content is dope because the way you explain the general principles behind why you do things and how you set your bikes up applies to other bikes as well.
Awesome video! I just got into your channel a few months back but love everything you are doing. We have the same taste in bikes too! 1990 KDX200 and 2005 CRF450X. Keep it up and I can't wait to see what comes next.
Best video by far! Thank you for putting yourself out there. Your mindset is key in all areas of life. When things are hard it makes you appreciate the good things in life so much more. Having a turd sandwich once in a while makes you really appreciate plastic covered pasta.
"ready to ironman the 24 hour?"
"Fuck no"
Well that changed quick!
"Embrace the suck" Love it man! What a truly great way to approach life. I find it amazing what riding dirt bikes does for my mental health and general outlook on life. I love your honesty and sincerity. Thanks for sharing with us.
Everyone who rides anything with two wheels needs to watch this.
As far as motorcycle videos/documentaries go, this is the best one on I have ever seen.
It’s about life more than anything, and what I take away the most from your journey, is that you just have to focus on having fun and finding true happiness, or die trying 👍🏻
Thank you, and I wish you the best of luck...
I have raced the 6 hr a couple of times. Ironman. 50+ yrs old. Will be there again in March. At the end, when it's over, and you get off the bike and sit down, you go into shock and the body just shuts down. Such a weird feeling.
I remember racing my 1st 6hr endurance race. A lot of suffer in that one. Lost a contact lens 2hrs in so rode the rest with 1 eye. Subframe came off 3hrs in - ratchet strapped it back on. Rode with a front-tyre puncture for the last 2 hrs. Somehow ended up 9th out of 30ish.
Went back the year after to do 12hrs, for some reason.
Congratulations on this epic challenge! Wow that Honda is one hell of a weapon in its own right. Very impressed that it kept going. I am glad I was able to help in some way. Also congrats on getting some big life goals in focus, I wish you the best in succeeding with them. I know many of us are much older and still trying to figure it out.
Dude I am half way through this vid and it's amazing! Oh man, just loving the KTM jokes and the stories! Keep up the good work! BTW, vid on the GPX coming soon?
Last night I wanted to go to bed earlier. And I was like "yeah, I will just watch this KDX200 video and go to bed". After it, autoplay played this video, caught my attention and I went to bed 2 hours later. Extremely inspirational, I found myself in your place many times, my knees are sort of screwed up, my back hurts as well, often I have a sense that what I'm doing has no purpose. And I don't find joy in bad moments (it used to be worse but I am making it better last few years). Also, my nutrition is bad, I don't care much about it :D
I hope this video will affect me for some longer time period :) And yeah, the editing is great, people are great. Go on, brotha! ( =
Never forget! :D have a nice day dude
@@alessandrogallo7969
You too, man! :)
I loved the video. I have been waiting for this since you announced it. "Embrace the suck" that should be a t-shirt dude would be awesome. That CRF250X is a weapon. I hope the KDX 200 will make an appearance on the channel again soon. I brought one from your review and reading your Kdx200 issue of TTM. Thanks for helping me to decide on the best bike for me and my budget.
This was my first video that I have watched from you Gabe. That. Was. Awesome. Super inspiring. Thanks for putting this together.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
You basically did a 24 hour of lemons on a bike.......now i have an idea 24 hours of lemons bike edition
You're an amazing person man, someone I can look up to. Keep doing what you're doing.
Watched every second. Pure gold. Yup, 2020 is gonna be good.
Great story! :) Amazing what sort of change can happen in the span of a single year... People tend to overestimate what can be accomplished in the short term, but really underestimate just how much can change over a year or so. Amazing stuff, and looking forward to seeing more CRF250X in the future. I'm amazed what abuse that bike was able to take.
Extremely entertaining, relatable and personable. The video was uplifting and I wish you guys nothing but the best. Can’t wait to see what you accomplish in 2020!
I’m 56 on a KDX200 and love all you are doing. Watched every minute. Good job
I watched this when you dropped it. I returned and watched it today. Truly epic and dare I say motivational.
If anybody on this planet should go, even if it requires all of us viewers backing him, it’s THIS GUY (Gabe) that should go do Erzberg, Romaniacs, hell, EVEN THE DAKAR!!! He’s UNSTOPPABLE!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very late to the party, but really good stuff. My heart dropped when you did the big jump in the dark on the last lap of the 250. Looking forward to sponsoring opportunities for the next big race.
Keep going I always look forward when a new video is posted it makes my day 👍
Didn't mean to delete last comment.... I got pumped when the DRZ came out. That's my machine. I can't believe the 250 made it.
This looks like an absolute blast! I noticed I know one of your sponsors from Nebraska Dual Sport Riders. I missed out on their Nation forest ride this weekend but this video served as some supreme entertainment to help make up for it. Keep up the good content, man! If you're ever in Iowa look me up! It would be a pleasure to shred some bikes with you. KDX life!
Yes it's finally here the video I've been waiting for! I'm gonna watch this to death when I get home from work 👌
Haven’t even watched it yet... it’s here!
Edit: great video, you found purpose, very inspiring video.
You have that right, it makes it easier to ride fast when you accept hitting a bolder at 80 or getting hit by a bus. I accepted that years ago. Im 37 now i still ride, getting hurt sucks but accepting it will happen makes it easier to ride.
I love the KTM tears!!! Great job love the videos.. May your 250X be reborn
Gabe, MY MAN! I'm heaps sorry I couldn't come help! Keep your chin up dude. I've been watching your videos since your very first one. What a journey!! I'm very sorry to here about your miss's, but dude good things are coming your way. You have inspired me so so much. I want to do my local 6 iron man next time. Look I now money is a pain in the ass. But if your and your awesome crew every find yourself in Australia, Queensland. Please let me you and I would be horned to ride with you guys. (Plus we have some brutal 6, 12 and 24 hour enduro races. I'd be mad keen.) But don't stop what you do. *You are one on the Prue channels on RUclips left*
Cheers gabe
And the die trying crew
Add the Virginia City Grand Prix to your calendar. It is a fantastic event. Saturday is 4+ hours of baked clay and rocks. The race is at 6000' to 8000' elevation. That changes everything. Just you and 450 other riders on a 25 mile loop with some amazing scenery. Some years there is even some snow.
Dude, I'm a hardcore nerd and a dirtbike enthusiast, love your content. Keep it up
Killer video, and great message. Love it!
Love the vids man!!! Keep up the good work!!
I think you should have a lot more subs. I think you could get about 200k subs. Everyone loves an underdog winning the race. The DR 200 video when you got the hole shot was a classic.
Very good way to summarize what endurance racing is all about.
Aaahh! 11 mins into it and wish I was there, endurance races look so much fun and BRUTAL- I would love every second of it😁 great content and just subscribed. I hope to get out in the dirt soon!!
This makes perfect sense to me. The harder to path the greater the glory.
Congrats Gabe. That was pretty inspiring, loved it. Been watching your stuff since the very beginning. Looking forward to watch your next adventure! Cheers
You picked a good team that was a awesome video hope to see more in the future
Watched this all the way through. Very inspiring for me. Your videos make my work look super weak, but they make me want to begin to get in better shape. Riding hard is painful when you're weak, but it takes real work to become strong. You and your friends have had physical problems that would honestly stop me from riding, yet you still continue to push harder than I ever would. I likely won't ever get to your level, but I know I should at least always try to IMPROVE.
Dude that’s amazing to see how much it’s changed your life I’ve been riding about a year and every time I ride I feel it all go away man and machine as one I had the same bike and mine ate valves so I ride Kawasaki and Yamaha now
Without doubt the best video I’ve seen this year. First WELL DONE. Second please don’t stop making these videos. 👍👌
You guys are awesome. Going to buy a shirt, hoping to try and get out to some races here in New Zealand. Thanks for giving me some inspiration!
thank you so much for your service!
You reminded me about David goggins video about recording himself when he was mentally struggling to stay motivated. You guys essentially came to the same conclusion which is pretty awesome. I'm a huge fan of your channel and love your riding and you even inspired me to enter into my first race just for the fun and to embrace the suck. Keep on keeping on
Dudes like sub D who aren't really talented but are willing to send anything are probably the most fun to ride with.
Just wanted to say that I am one of the ones who gets on here to watch videos of old dirtbikes haha. I appreciate your content man! Got a ‘97 XR600R and ‘01 XR250R and get a lot of inspiration from you. Keep it up brother
I am 46 and feel this way! Unlike you, I have not been a good or strong enough person to make the changes I need to. You are doing it right and thanks for this video as well as all your content.
Watched every minute of this, and I loved every minute of this! Great job 👍
Awesome content man! Keep up the good work and congratulations on the finish!
Dude! That. Was. AWESOME.
If you are looking for more punishment you should try the Odessa desert 100 in Wa. April 2020. This year I rode my DRZ400E and had tons of fun.
theres just something so satisfying watching old bikes get thrashed idk what it is about it but its awesome keep it up mate
On lockdown, here in California, and I finally found the time to watch this all the way through. Absolutely excellent! All the ADVsquared sponsorships had me rolling! Collin is such an awesome human! Great job brother! Now to talk my guys into this madness! Hahaha!
Glad you enjoyed it!
New to the channel, loving the content and honesty of this video. But I noticed in the video that I pitted across from you in the 24 HR Of Glen Helen! I was racing for Zeals Racing, team 326. The 24 HR is no joke. Not sure if you remember off the top of your head, but one of my team mates broke his kick starter in a gully and was stranded for over 2 hours LOL
Watched half the video and went out in the rain and ripped my bike literally like never before. Now i'm gonna watch the other half. Thank you!
2/3 of the way in and absolutely loving it!
Im only a third through the video and its already the most inspiring thing ive watched in months. Its nice to get an insight into the life of the voice i so fondly associate with dirt riding, being one of the first who's videos i watched (and still the best). The way you describe your change of mindset is something i want to pursue as well, thank you and good luck!
Yes, we should all “embrace the suck” more haha. Excellent video!
That is an adult movie right?
Such a great video! You guys KILLED it!!!
Damn dude, seeing the light you were running with in the 24hr.... we run that plus a pretty decent led spotlight in our 24hr event down here in Oz.
Amazing video, loved every minute of it
Keep up the amazing work 🤙🏼
Awesome video dude! I just subscribed to your Chanel and I love it! Keep it up 👍🏻 cheers from France 🇫🇷
I loved the video, awesome job everyone! Not sure why all the hate on ktms tho. The Japanese companies won’t invest in 2 strokes, so I jumped ship. Don’t regret it at all, my 300xc has been good to me.
It's inside jokes for this community. There's quite a few of those around here :)
Gotta keep up with everything we do lol
Ah ok, I’ll admit I haven been able to watch as much after you changed the channels name. Thx again for the content, I’ll get up to speed.
That was an awesome vid about an awesome journey. Well done.
Old vid ,but you are a great input,I thank you very much for your content.
can't wait to watch the whole thing!!!
11:54
"Dead KTM noise"..... lmao!!!
Wow. Just wow.
Love your willingness to torture yourself along with the bikes,I 51and just started racing up in Washington State, Glen Hellen looks like a track I’d love to rip soon, we are racing the off road series (hare scrambles), run the Desert 100, Hangover Hare Scramble at Washougle National track.
I’d ride with you any time.
Wow, that awesome! Loved every minute of it. Crazy footage and a very inspirational video all around! Appreciated that you shared more of the personal stuff and wishing you all the best in 2020! Keep up the great work!
Great movie, good story, fantastic message.
Great job man! I really enjoyed this.
I’m two years late, but great video man. I truly enjoyed it.
This was inspiring in so many ways! I would love to join in on the fun for 2020!
Ive always knew that riding dirtbike or racing can be pretty stoic..lol..love the philosophy man..its not about winning its about the fun..or the life on the bike..enduring!!
Watched the whole thing... Great editing! Wonder how well you could do on the CRF230F...
Thanks!! I could do well on the 230 in endurance I'm sure, but I'd be a little slower. Just down on power, so that engine would be working really, really hard for hours on end. I think it would make it though.
Such a cool video! Keep it coming!!!!
