I just happened to run into your channel while doing tons of research in adventure riding and PA area. This is very helpful and definitely going to look into this for next year. Currently waiting for my bike to be delivered for next season. I'm in PA, Aston/Brookhaven area so easy access into Jersey if you wanna show me some easy rides to get used to it? Not new to riding but new to the whole adventure thing and all. Great video! awesome gear! and honestly nothing wrong with the headband ;)

I recognize alot of these areas. Grew up bumping around these roads near new columbia and points west.

Is there a website for getting together to do rides like this? All my friends are too lazy and can’t get them to ride anymore

Very nice video, I enjoyed seeing you guys riding.through my hometown when you stopped in Emporium.

Most entertaining PAWilds video I have seen. I am doing this in three weeks on a rented T7.

Great video! Looks like a blast!

I tried doing a section of the BDRX with the free GAIA and it was a disaster. I lost cell service and wasn’t really familiar with the app or the area. It turned out fine because it didn’t really matter for one day and coming home but after that I paid for it(with a coupon) and that allows saving offline maps. That worked much better the next time. It did hurt paying that much for just a year, especially knowing I’ll realistically only get to use it a handful of times.

I found the map on CPAAT. It is only one route. I know there is a northern route and a southern route (round trip). Do you have a link to both routes. On reddit, there is a map showing both routes, but no links or way points. We are planning our trip in June. Any information you can give us would be great! Keep making great videos, we enjoy them!

Tip of the day in those expert sections….. your over gripping, and not staying loose on the grips. GS models are the most forgiving too. Terra lever fronts are plush when it comes to deflection..

Thanks for the vids. Watching your videos convinced me to do the pa wilds this spring.

All sparking new! I wonder how long it will stay that way. 👍🏻👍🏻

are you riding the gs 850 or the gsa 850, always surprises me how capable these bikes are off road

Nice video.i need to do this. Wish it was a loop. 7 hours home isn’t much fun

Nice video! Haven’t you done the CPAAT south?

This video is excellently produced. I learned new things that I can apply to my own videos. Thank you for taking me on your journey, I enjoyed every moment of it.

Love the movie you must be good if you can ride with your hands off the bars. I would never try that

Great drone work! Rain on a tent, great sleeping!!

Awesome video! Where did you get the long gopro mount and the stick?

Great video compilation. I'm planning on doing this ride in the spring, I'm just getting all the gear together. Did you have cellphone coverage most of the time? Also, how'd Gaia navigation work for you?

Alex, nice series from your group trip. I have not done the bdr x in PA yet. Please dont take this wrong, but why do they call it an X route as most/all of your footage was mostly flat gravel. The most difficult terrain looked like you guys going around the construction truck. Was it that you didn't record the difficult sections or is it an X route labeled that way because of using heavier adventure bikes?

Sent you an email

Hello, Myself and friends are looking to ride this next year. Any recommendations for route or hotels? Thank you.

Sorry bro.👎🏽

Alex você é Brasileiro?

Weird watermark kills it for me.

Nah you made it sound like a rice rocket😢

"You talk too much, you never shut up". Help your friends when they fall, and stop worrying about your video all the money you spent on filming yourself.

ALWAYS carry food/snacks with you. I learned that from riding with SXS groups you never know when you'll get back to camp.

I've been to that look out at Colton point State Park. I hiked a section of the West rim trail. Now I'll have to adventure on my '22 KLR. What tires are you guys running?

Looking to do this loop soon. Some say do it in 4 days but you did it in 3. Do you think that was too much and did you have to "push it" to get it done in 3 days or is it fairly doable in 3 days?

Great video! I would like to know how you got the directions on the GPS please.

Alex! New subscriber here. Great job with the video brother. Love your angles and gear. I’m heading out to do PA Wilds in five days with two other riders. I love capturing these trips and I’m still learning how to utilize all my camera gear to get footage people will actually enjoy. Question for you now. What mic are you using and what helmet do you have? That’s my biggest struggle.

Me and the wife tour the US on our vstrom 1050 xt two up weighed down and offroad. Were headed to this part of the country in two weeks. Thanks for the lovely shots of whats to come.

Nice ride I live on section 6 of the mid Atlantic bdr

Nice video and narration by Alex! About your tip # 58, I think the opposite is also true. Even for riders planning travel only from hotel to hotel, you should always have the capability of impromptu emergency camping comfortably. Multiple times I have seen videos of tired groups traveling late into the night to get to a hotel and / or restaurant. It looks not just uncomfortable but even dangerous.

Another great video! I have watch several of yours and they are very well done. I am considering the BDR-X, CPAAT and SCAR as solo efforts but have been warned off as I have a heavy bike and not a ton of off-road experience. Guess I need to start somewhere! Rando question: I have looked through the entire Rev'it glove collection and can't find the ones you're wearing. They look super comfortable. What are they called?

The cows are Jersey cows they are milk cows and always look boney. I live about 35 miles from Mansfield and was watching PA BDR rides in preparation for a Sportster ride on the BDRX PA Wilds on Memorial weekend.

Fantastic video. Like a comment below, I watch a TON of these things and this is really well done. You're a natural! I'm hoping to do the CPAAT (North out/South back) later this year so this was super-helpful as are the other episodes Many Thanks!!! Once observation that pertains specifically to me but possibly others. I did several big rides in 2022 and on the last one to the Outer Banks and wandering through Virginia, I couldn't get one of my GoPros to work correctly. I found myself messing with it both on and off the bike, making several stops to troubleshoot the problem. At a certain point, I FINALLY realized it was ruining my trip. I couldn't get in to "flow" and I wasn't focusing enough on the experience (or the road). I disconnected everything and put the phuking thing in my bag. I have much clearer memories of the trip and since I write about each day, it made me be more descriptive in choosing the words to relay what the electronic toy would have done. I found could be and stay in the moment, which is EXACTLY why I ride... it's for me and not an audience. I know everyone is different but this was my experience. Safe travels and I hope we cross paths.

#370! Started watching this series as a future adventure for myself. Great job on these. Decided you need more subscribers!! Dan from northeast Ohio.

Beautiful!

Thanks again - great stuff

Throughly entertained with this - thank you. Living in Maine, I'm going to take the NEBDR south to this trail and add in the PABDR-X while I'm there. Was able to do the MABDR (N to S) to TAT (E to W) in 2021. Last summer rode to the NM/Mexico border and then rode the Continental Divide north to Canada. Good stuff!

awesome video - thanks Alex - will be taking this trip in June or July this year. Super excited.

This was very entertaining. A ton of content and I like the mix of different shots and angles with the different cameras. I plan on trying this route in the spring. I’m from North Jersey, always trying to find people to ride with as adventure riding has its risks and being younger not many friends of mine have bikes, nonetheless adventure bikes.

I love your videos. I laughed hard at the end

Awesome video!! Hope to do the CPAAT this year after a big Canadian solo trip. I don't have nearly the tech you have but will at least take a GP to look at when I can't ride anymore (i.e. near death!)

I can appreciate and understand completely how easy it is to be distracted and fall out of creativity. One way I have solved this problem for myself is to make shorter videos. That way I am giving my audience something every week but yet my edit time is still manage. Coming back from a multi day trip is daunting when it comes to editing. I have been working slowly towards putting all my videos on one channel and getting rid of the others. Its hard to focus sometimes right? Lets connect in 2023. Maybe hook up and cover ground together for a few days. Im covering NJ adventure route, SCAR, Georgia, and some runs in New England this year. Reach out of you want to ride.

Awesome video Alex, I live around Wilkes Barre, PA. Any chance you’d like to ride this area let me know. I have a ktm 1290 sas.

How did you get back home? How long did it take?

Hi Alex, we enjoy watching your video. We want to do this trip this summer and need the GPS tracks. Can't seem to get any I have tried to download properly. We are also doing the PA wilds BDR-X loop this summer. We did the MABDR 4 years ago 1100 miles in 7 days. If you could, please attach the link. If you go home a different way, the lower part, include that also. Thanks so much and keep making video's :)
