Australian Adventure Ride - Flinders Ranges - Part 3: Mt Samuel, Artimore and Alpana Tour

[@gili7333]

My 48 years as a cameraman and rider pale into insignificance as I watch you’re mastery at work, hats off to Brent for bringing us along on you’re adventures.

[@GlennFrost321]

10 out of 10!

[@famo1153]

So beautiful!

[@andyduncan9442]

Great video. I'm looking forward to watching more of what you do.

[@RozalynVeersma]

Truly blessed! Such a spectacular ride m8! 😲🥰🙏⛰⛰⛰⛰⛰⛰🏍🏍🏍💨

[@FirstLightAdv]

Amazing footages and great track reference

[@andrewlovell9930]

Fantastic. The Flinders Ranges really is a special place. I have visited many times over the years and haven't tired of it. It's harsh country but incredibly beautiful and somehow puts our/my existence in perspective. My chosen mode of transport is a mountain bike these days and have fond memories of travelling through Alpana on what appeared to be a very similar route to yours, stopping at that spring and continuing on to Parachilna Gorge. From there onto the Glass Gorge Road and the Moolooloo PAR doing a sneaky camp near Artomore ruins that night. Fantastic memories. Thank you for the beautiful video. You've captured it well.

[@mikejohanson8366]

Great series of videos, Flinders Ranges is definitely now on my bucket list of places to ride in Aus when l retire soonish....

[@TubbyTrialTeam]

Just awesome footage. Rich uk 🇬🇧

[@shaneosuptenitsaboutthejou3343]

Wow great job very much enjoyed this video. Well done

[@petejamesmoto]

Excellent as always Brent. Heading out there again myself August or September.

[@gc1862de]

That was pretty special, thnx for sharing

[@MrAndyballard]

Part 3 didn't disappoint either. I had a chuckle... only in Australia could there be a place called ‘Buggery Gorge’. Of course there is. Wonder went on there at some point? The mind boggles. Fantastic scenery, fantastic camera work, excellent work all round.

[@heinschwartz7941]

Good work once again Brent 🤗

[@ubonrat8653]

Great work Brent

[@jamesprecious1035]

What an exceptional Brent Pearson Production. It is so enjoyable to sit back and enjoy your highest of quality skills as a Story teller and a Film Producer. We out here in Tubeland are very lucky that you share your passions. Big thanks once again. There were some great moments here. I think Coco got very lucky on his little ride close to the fence. That moment demonstrated the fine line of safety while riding these glorious machines. You really showed us the beauty that the Flinders has to offer, the colours we captured so cinematically. Thanks again Brent, looking forward to the next one already.

[@brentbat]

Thanks James.

[@RealHooksy]

I first went to Nuccaleena in about 1975. It wasn’t accessible to the public back then, but we had connections. It was my first time riding a proper motorbike, which was an xr75. I learned to ride it the day before, and next minute I’m riding up creek beds following / leading a group in their 6wd army truck. It was a steep learning curve, but I didn’t mind. I’m pretty sure mum and dad still have some souvenirs from that trip. I’ve still got the memories 😎

[@brentbat]

Hey Rob, Glad you have some wonderful memories. It's lovely landscape in the Flinders... tough but beautiful at the same time.

[@davidsimpson3095]

Spectacular on all counts Brett!

[@DavidNieuwenhoven]

Lovely work. I rode and drove some of these tracks in my 20's and once when it was stinking hot we did the mount samuel one at night time which was interesting. There is nothing like exploring the Flinders on a bike.

[@jeffday777]

I really want to compliment you on the quality of your videos, Brent, they are truly superb. I always look forward to watching the next one!

[@brentbat]

Thanks.... It's a labor of love.

[@nextmotoventure]

Thx for sharing Brent! The real star here is The Flinders, especially at sunrise and sunset. The word ‘spectacular’ doesn’t even seem good enough, it truly is awesome in its majestic beauty.

[@glossblack1098]

Exceptional Brent. As a geologist who rides a 690, I just gotta go there one day. Cheers

[@archjapanmotovlogs]

Brent your videography is out of this world, its like watching a 23 min video all filmed in magic hour thanks so much for a great episode again !!

[@girishbhathela6295]

Incredible videography. I could almost feel the dust going through those sandy stretches. Thanks for having us this privilege of watching such beautiful landscapes.

[@MotoanPhoto]

Fantastic ride. Another beautifully made video. Your videos always make me want to go out and ride the trails.

[@Vekutovlogs]

India time now 11:33pm, now I’ll watch this awesome video till morning 😎 Wow 🤩 places are just amazing 😍 thank you sir for the beautiful video 🙏🏽

Just finished watching. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. The scenery was awesome and so was John Henry's ride. Thanks, Brent.

[@chuckcpc8774]

You Boys live a very charmed life. Amazing ride. Beautiful country. How are you ever going to top that? Georgia USA is watching and jealous.

[@adventureswithham2223]

Fantastic footage mate 👍🏼 would love to see you film some of our stuff here in Nz 🇳🇿

[@nextstopadv]

Awesome work again, Brent. John helped us recover a Dr650 back in 2019 and his family generously gave us a shed to problem solve the issue. He kept his riding ability quiet!

[@ADVBrett]

Brent I've finally been able to sit back and watch your first 4 parts back to back with glass of red before setting in with a whiskey. You've succeeded in stealing my heart for the Flinders. What an amazing country we live in and you've showcased it just perfectly. Just outstanding mate. I can't wait for the next instalment!

[@brentbat]

That is the best way to watch them.... a glass of red in hand :-)

[@pckopp]

Just excellent in every way. Thank you.

[@orpaztron]

Just a pleasure to watch, Maestro. In Israel (probably because of the military service) the first thing that backpackers, 4x4's or adventure riders who come to lookout do is a coffee pot. I see that it's different in your culture.

[@brentbat]

Thank Dror Yes, I think in our culture it is probably a beer at the lookout (if it's afternoon or evening)..... coffee in the morning. 🙂

[@DanielSmith-vp5vn]

I remember watching Malcolm Douglas adventures as a kid thinking the cinematography and story telling was mind blowing. And now look what can be done by an individual with less resources and sent to the masses in minutes.

[@D9VO]

Great vid. I now have to go to the Flinders! I will bring my DJI mini as I can now see how robust it is!!! He he

[@robertmorris4784]

Absolutely stunning footage Brent.... we are incredibly lucky to be able to experience the Flinders... especially us ADV riders.

[@VMVarga-yf6eg]

Thanks for making these videos, they are very enjoyable to watch and I look forward to experiencing all this for myself one day

[@Alan-bj9nb]

Fantastic videos! Thanks for putting in the time to make and post them!

[@decoycreativedistractions]

Thanks for another fantastic video from down under. Looks like you have nice weather. Just returned from a 4 weeks camping trip to Iceland with my 1250 GSA. I had snow , heavy rain and strong wind last 2 weeks. Next time i think I choose Australia!😀

Another quality production Brent. You really showcased the beauty of that region there on that video. My guesses are still out on the breakdown bike, Im guessing Coco ,s bike ,

[@brentbat]

Yes, I'm keeping which bike breaks as a mystery and I will solicit guesses at the start of the final video....

[@waynepatrick8214]

Coco's bike looks Japanese so surely no chance that's the one.

[@kymcopyriot9776]

Amazing stuff, thanks…and made even better by the fact that the Flinders are just a few hours away from my home in SA, so each of your videos inspires more planning by me and my riding mates!

[@thecorporategypsy]

That was amazing and I am truly speechless. Well done!

[@moto.explora]

Hi Brent! I've been following you for a long time and I really enjoy your videos, the music you choose is perfect, you have a very good story and the photography is really spectacular, you manage to keep the attention even with long videos. You have been an inspiration for me to make videos that inspire others to repeat the routes that I upload. Even so, I am not able to increase my audience, I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what I might be failing. Thank you very much for sharing and greetings from Chile, the other side of the world!

[@jimwood1068]

Fantastic Brent. Thank you.

[@701Adventures]

I often watch your videos and am left in awe at the beautiful scenery you have out in Oz. So from a very envious 701 rider here in the UK thanks for the great video. 👍

[@brentbat]

Hey 701 Adventures, yes, we are exceptionally lucky in Oz with our adventure riding. I don't take that for granted at all. I guess you'll just need to put it on your bucket list and plan a trip down under.

[@701Adventures]

@@brentbat I was over in Brisbane, Caloundra area only last October & November but unfortunately didn’t get to do any riding. Next time I’m out there I need to get booked onto an organised tour of some description if such a thing exists and go exploring. 👍

[@brentbat]

@@701Adventures Yes, there are definitely organised tours..... You definitely should if you are down this way.

[@brendan18861]

Awesome vid again Brent! Love your work. Looks like it was an amazing trip - on the list! Thx for the amazing guided tour

great vids mate. i think this is where next years trip is heading to!! amazing place

[@ride4adventure]

Stunning Brent. I have started planning my return to the Flinders, there is so much more to explore.

[@jimdavis1782]

Outstanding production quality! Watching this instead of getting stuck into work for the day is a far better use of my time... Feel like I've consumed some inspiration again. Will need to take the XT600 out there for a visit to experience the magic. Thank you for the time and effort in putting these together and sharing your experiences.

[@leviathan5286]

Great videos. The voice over gives a comparative advantage over the regular live commentary and imagery of the narrator. Well done! Where do I find mates like yours. You motivate while showing off this great country called Australia.

[@brentbat]

Hi Leviathan, thanks for your comment. Yes, finding good mates its the really valuable part.

[@leviathan5286]

[@jasondunn8894]

Another cracking video Brent! Such stunning landscapes not far from Adelaide👍

[@Gaz_Gaz_Adv]

Fantastic production Brent and good resourse for those wanting to head out there (as we are). We'll be there in a few months based out of Willow Springs. I noticed on your Mr Samuel Loop theres a locked gate graphic? Is that correct? If so, could you please let me know who to speak to / how to gain access as it looks like a must do? Id be keen to speak to Alpana Station if you think theyd be interested in doing another property tour (with about 9 of us) Thanks again for the time you put into these productions.

[@brentbat]

Yes, Alpana own Mt Samuel. So I'd give Sally (owner) a call. I think it is definitely worth doing a tour of Alpana by their son. He's an amazing rider.... his skills will blow you away, and the Alpana tour is pretty cool.

[@marksummers496]

Are you hiding your real name.......Mr. Spielberg!?!?! Very classy production without the "look at me" content. Just informative narration and great photography, warts (get offs) and all.

[@geoffdossor5772]

Absolutely brilliant! And inspiring. At the end of June, a mate and I are riding from the Yarra Valley to Longreach via the Flinders and Birdsville. If I can get half your video quality, I’ll be a happy man. Brent, do you mind parting with some trade secrets and listing the equipment you’re using and maybe a bonus tip? Look forward to your next vid.

[@eddielmoss10]

Fabulous video and animation of tracks. What app do you use to create the route animation? Another question: What tyres are on the GSA? Keep up the excellent productions. 👌

[@scottMartin-z1c]

Brent pearson i have watch all your videos and i really appreciate all your videos editing and also very keen interested to join you in motor vlog

[@Pigletridingatiger]

Hi Brent, absolutely love your videos. A group of about 6-8 of us are planning a ride to the Flinders Ranges next year and would love some feedback off you as to where we should stay. Can we base ourselves in one or two places and do all the good rides. We plan on staying 4-5 nights. Any information would be so appreciated.

[@brentbat]

I would definitely stay at Alpana shearer’s quarters for 2 or 3 nights and Arkaroola for 2 or 2 nights.

[@willk76]

Absolutely magic Brent! I was up there in Blinman 4,5,6 May 23, and did the PARs a second time and Skytrek, all on bikes. Did you record your GPX tracks for Alpana and the next video for Mt Gill and Arkaroola? I will definitely be heading back and you have managed to unlock some fantastic tracks that even a local south aussie cant find.

[@richardkessen7009]

After watching this series of vids on the Flinders Ranges, I have decided to go back in a couple of months. Such an inspiration!!! Any chance you could share the gpx files of your ride that I could use as part of my own planning?

Hey Richard, if you look at my first Flinders series (about a year ago), you'll find the gpx files for downloading in the youtube description.

Brent your Husky 701 looks very different did you change it for a LR 701

[@callumphelps6737]

Brent, how do you find the 701 with the fairing for long days on the black top? I'm thinking of trading in my BMW 850 for a 701/690. Cruise, steering damper and LYNX fairing seem crucial. After those mods how does it go? Could you happily spend all day on the highway to get to these stunning locations? Cheers.

[@brentbat]

Hi Callum Once you set the 701 up properly, it's great. upgraded seat, fairing, bar risers. I've done several long stretches of 800-900k and it's absolutely fine. It's not as comfortable as a GS... don't get me wrong... but it's not bad at all... and as soon as you get on dirt, there is no comparison.

[@callumphelps6737]

Thanks Brent, would love to see an update of all the mods you've done, keep up the good work! Cheers

[@cliffcollett2596]

Love the video, hated the repetitive music. Hard to hear the commentary at times.

[@Gudindelulu]

I miss the old videos when there was more ummms and ahhhs. It added a more professional element to the videos. Be honest. What does HD's beard smell like?

[@brentbat]

I can honestly (and happily) say that I have not gotten that close to HD to smell his beard..... The thought of that is sending shivers down my spine.

[@braaaaaaaaaaap]

I'd follow you if you removed the music from the videos and used realtime voice instead of voiceovers.

[@brentbat]

Thanks but that is just not my style. I never narrate a ride while it's happening because I don't know the story while I'm riding... only after it unfolds. There are plenty of others that do no music and live v/o, but that's not for me.

[@marczlong9382]

beautiful country? It is a country with horrible landscapes and incredibly boring roads. LOL

[@brentbat]

I assume that was a “tongue in cheek” comment and you weren’t being serious.

[@marczlong9382]

@@brentbat Well, you see, in the video, I don't see anything that catches my attention. The landscapes are like those in any other country, but nothing surprising like Norway, Canada, Spain, Argentina, or Turkey. These are places that, in addition to having beautiful landscapes, have significant cultural and historical backgrounds that invite exploration. For example, South America has incredible mountain ranges, exotic landscapes, glaciers, lakes, and a variety of experiences that I don't see in Australia. I understand that you might have some personal appreciation for that country, but the reality is that it has rather boring routes

[@brentbat]

@@marczlong9382 Hey Marc. I appreciate your reply. Can I just ask you one clarifying question before I respond.... that will help me give you a thoughtful reply. Have you actually visited Australia yourself, or just viewed it through other KZbins etc? BP

[@marczlong9382]

@@brentbat No, I haven't been there. It's obvious that every place 'improves' when you see it in person. For example, when I did Route 40 in Argentina, I was absolutely amazed, but even just by watching videos, you could tell the place was incredible. The same thing happened to me in Norway and Switzerland. Your videos don't show anything, they don't invite you to travel. Surely, the place is more beautiful than what you're able to convey. But compared to other countries, I don't see anything that grabs my attention. I haven't been to the Moon either, but it seems to be an inhospitable place

[@brentbat]

@@marczlong9382 Thanks for your reply. By the countries you quoted, clearly you enjoy the Mountains/Alps. I've travelled in Argentina, Switzerland and Norway, and if it's mountainous scenery you love, Australia definitely can not compare. There is something special about the Australian outback.... there is lots of "nothingness", but that is part of what makes it special. I enjoy riding in Mountains, but I also love deserts, Bushland and other diverse landscapes. But if Mountains are your thing... then I agree with you 100%. By comparison to the countries you listed, we have nothing that comes close. BP
