Madjack Media has released the first two episodes of a video series chronicling a two-week, self-supported off-road motorcycle trip along the Utah Backcountry Discovery Route. The adventure starts in the Red Desert and faces tire damage, extreme heat, and rugged terrain. Two more episodes are forthcoming.
The Adventure Rider website highlights a new video series from Madjack Media, showcasing a demanding two-week journey through the Utah Backcountry Discovery Route (Utah BDR). Riders begin in the Red Desert in southern Utah, tackling initial challenges including improvised repairs on tires with a mangled carcass, sections of silt, and temperatures reaching 105 degrees Fahrenheit. The trip transitions to higher elevations, where the group camps at 10,000 feet amid a downpour, exemplifying the varied conditions of the southwest US terrain praised for adventure biking. Part 2 escalates the difficulties three days into the ride. As described in the episode: > In this episode, my friends and I are now 3 days into our massive, self supported off-road adventure ride across the state of Utah. For the ride ahead we will have to complete one of Utah’s most foreboding desert routes, Lockhart Basin.. Worse yet, I will have to do it with a damaged rear tire that is patched together with ZIP TIES.. As unideal as it is, if we can make it through, then we can get the resources we need to make proper repairs in Moab. In the meantime, we will need to survive endless rocks, sand, and intense desert heat. Not to mention, for MOST of this route, there is no water until you reach the Colorado River at the very end.. The series emphasizes self-supported travel across rocks, sand, and water-scarce deserts, aiming for proper repairs in Moab. These lengthy episodes suit weekend viewing, with three more installments expected.
