Lovely smooth and progressive riding there mate! The 990 sounds lovely on the overrun too ;)
Thanks man. Yeah, it always gives me a big grin… and makes me ride like a hooligan sometimes 😂
@@OllieMoto You guys need to come to WA State USA for some real off-road riding.
Where you ride is for girls!
Well done on the mud pit 👏
Ha, lucky I suppose 😂 Did you go to the festival this year?
That sand NEARLY got me, I was on a tiger 1200 on road tyres, first time 'off road' on a 'big bike'.
Front tucked and I went full feet out paddling to hold it up (not easy when you're vertically challenged like me 😂).
Enjoyed it, but I did make sure I only went out when it was dry, wasn't worth chancing without decent tyres! Until next year!
Haha, excellent 👏🏻 Yup, you need decent tyres. Sand is always a f***er too - the way to not fall over is to lean back, look forward an pin the throttle, but that’s easier said than done when you think you’re about to fall off!
Hi Ollie, have only just come across your content and it’s great stuff, especially when you’re a local guy and adventure on places like SPTA👍.
You mention in this video people are using road tyres, I was wondering what tyres you and your mates are using?
I’m looking at taking my GSA1200 more off-road and use it for more of what it’s designed to do.
I currently run Michelin Anakee Adventure.
Keep up the good work pal, and possible see you out and about around Andover/Salisbury way👍
Hey man, thanks for the kind words.
My friends and I use a mix of all sorts. If you’re looking for a 50/50 tyre then I’m a big fan of the Mitas E07’s. As for more off-road tyres, a lot of people I know use stuff from Motoz. My 990 currently has an E09 on the rear, and Pirelli MT21 on the front.
What I would say is that opinions on tyres are wide and varied. Just grab a set that has the right amount of knobbles for what you want and give them a go. Yes, 50/50 tyres suck in the mud. Yes, 80/20 will suck on wet tarmac. Ignore all the negative opinions and go for it! 👊🏻
Looks awesome. Mates and I are planning on ABR 2026. Are those CJ designs gas caps?.
Not CJ designs, but I believe they are very similar. I got them from a guy called Antonio Salvagnoni on Facebook. Hopefully I'll catch you at ABR 2026 👍🏻
Awesome 😎😎😎
Of course it is, it’s got Donk in it 😉
Noticed myself in the intro :D
Totally agree with you on getting to the festival for the first offroading- it was the case for me, and had a blast! This time I've done only up to the end of section 3 in order to catch some other activities, but next year, deffinitely will go for entirety of it!
Haha, I think I remember seeing you there when we were filming. Yeah man, you need to do the full lap next year! 😁
@@OllieMoto I'm planning on going for an extra day, so no excuses for lack of time I guess 😅.
Nonetheless, an excellent video 👌
Thanks man 👊🏻
Hoping to see 2023 Expert loop of "I've got a fly in meh face"!
Not this year I'm afraid dude. I'm sure I'll be at one in the future though 😉
Buy a DJI Osmo action 4. No more crashes, longer battery life and easy wireless mic hook up. No cables. lol no dropped video clips either. Go pro are terrible for reliability issues. 😊
Good to know, particularly the mic hook up. How’s the stabilisation? Last time I tried an Osmo I found GoPro was much better for stabilisation and audio.
Can't wait to get back next year for a non spirited shred with you dude
Sounds like a plan Batman. Leave all spirits at home please.
Looks like great fun! Hope to join some day. Cheers! /Rob
Hey Rob! Yeah it a pretty cool event 🔥
15,37 did ya make some dust with the pegs?
Errr 🤷🏼♂️
Oooooh! I saw you did 31Mph you bad boy!!! you'll have the fun police after you!
Shhhhhh… 🤫😂
excellent video, it was my first time at the festival and I had a absolute blast! Everyone was super friendly and I made it around the off road track without dropping my R9T! I just need to remember the internet is crap there so i should print my ticket in advance and bring cash. see you next year?
Ah, the internet, I had already forgotten about that but it a definitely something ABR need to look into improving next year. You took a Nine T around there? Fair play 👏🏻
@@OllieMoto cheers Ollie, yes I saw a few R9T scramblers as well. I think their internet setup is rubbish considering everything is done on QR codes yet theres no phone signal & a wiff of wifi for the stalls to all share 😁
@@AnotherHipster and a load of us social media types trying to upload stuff to the internet... to promote the event! 😂
@@OllieMoto yes cant even get a instagram post out. I'm mid a 40 episode series where I ride to athens and back on my R9T. So I used the ABR as just a few days off didn't film anything this year 👍
@@AnotherHipster You've mad a series you mean?
Hmm 🤔 how do you think my 750gs on caste wheels will do here, doing my first ABR next year and worried the caste will bend, should be alright if I take it easy, but I can be a bit ham fisted and red mist when the adrenaline pumps lol 😆
It’s not too rutted or aggresive to be fair. Not like riding through Wales! If you take it easy and maybe avoid the expert bit you should be fine.
@@OllieMoto I'm wanting to do the expert bit though, damn those caste wheels 😳 still debating on spoked for my bike
@@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider go spoked, you won't regret it!
@@OllieMoto waiting on Mansells to get back to me on price, fitting Karoo 3s, and another future upgrade will be for stiffer springs in the front and a heavier weight oil, as the front dives too much. Not fussed about money, as I'm making this bike fit me. She'll be ready for next year and some good offroading TET etc
@@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider sounds ace! I've also spent far too much money on my 990, but I love it!
Nice to see ollie put a donk on it #BlackoutCrew
That Donk is a legend.
How'd you get your phone to appear and disappear like that?
I assume this is a joke? 😂
@@OllieMoto Well spotted - you did say one continuous lap though
The dust was insane. I like others got caught behind the tractor watering the track at one point.... not sure how it helped. 10 minutes later it was dusty as again!
I didn’t even realise there was a tractor there doing so! 😂 To be fair, kudos to ABR for at least thinking about dust suppression but they were fighting a losing battle; as I said in the video it had absolutely chucked it down for around 20 minutes just before we started filming, and it was still dusty!
That "expert" loop is what we call a beginners loop in Arizona. Very lame, wide and mostly straight with no real obstacles.
This isn't for hard core riders its an event to let people experience a little bitof what it's like to ride off road on their adventure bikes which would normally only ever see a Starbucks Cark park.
