Iceland 6-Day Adventure Motorcycle Tour

In September 2023 I took a 6-day motorcycle trip run by RIDE WITH LOCALS - An Icelandic tour company. It was undoubtedly the most beautiful off-road riding I have ever done.
The Tour Company I used is called Ride With Locals. ridewithlocals.is/

The amount of work that went into this video is incredible. 6 days of riding, gopro, drone footage, b roll. Just shooting all that while riding is a lot of work, but editing hours and hours of footage into a masterpiece like this takes a dedication and skill that few people have. I don't think I've ever seen a more spectacularly created video of a ride. Really beautifully done. Bravo. 👍✌

[@brentbat]

Thanks for your note, but it is a labour of love. I enjoy the video production side of things, so it is something I savour when I get back … working in the edit.

[@DubbleD69]

You’ve given me a new bucket list item. I’ve grown up riding bikes and this looks like an amazing experience. As a 55 yr old though, I’m curious how many km (approx) would you do on a given day?

[@daveo9844]

Magical 😎🍻

This is one of the most amazing motorcycle videos I've ever seen in my entire life.

[@aditya78]

I don't know why this showed up on my feed but now there's no going back. This video is now #1 on my bucket list. I would pay to watch this in a movie theatre. Spectacular shots, beautifully composed, wonderfully articulated. Can't fathom the number of hours of effort that went into making this... Thank you for sharing this, wishing you many more safe and memorable rides🙏🏻🙌

[@brentbat]

Hey, thanks for your note. You may have gathered this, but this is a labour of love for me. I love video production and adventure riding, so combining them is just a bonus to me.

[@BorderLineStudioTT]

@@brentbatsame for me I’m a photo/videographer from Trinidad and i don’t know why this came up on my feed but glad it did. It really made me fall in love with love with filmmaking all over again… love the camera work editing and story telling.

[@downtofun]

The colour grading on this is incredible. I am really impressed with the tones and the life you brought to the footage. You did a great job on it!

[@OneManTrail]

I have seen National Geographic films that haven’t conveyed the beauty of Iceland this well. I haven’t watched another moto film that gave me a better sense of “being there” riding with a group of friends as this. This is a phenomenally well produced film. 👍🏻

[@jw8556]

Yeah takes a far bit to impress me lv done a bit of riding (only in Oz) but lm suitable impressed you shall now be known as moto geofantastic nice work so many rides so little time one life is just not enough cheers

Fantastic Footage I'm not too far to go from England. Have you got a description to get in touch with the company

[@crescentmoon256]

if u travel there u wont get the same experience, u wont have bgm, u wont have wings grow up ur azz to have a drone view, u wont get colour graded unnatural colours, u wont have a narrator its such a shame, people wont enjoy nature as it is, people need film like reality in everything edit : i still love the video though even though its a little dramatic for my taste

[@jw8556]

@@crescentmoon256 oh l no what you are talking about but l like the lunar landscape and the low numbers is what l like less touristy crap and less lip service makes for more rider stimulation

[@user-gz5wh9cq1e]

Brent, I tip my hat to you. Being a local and a motorcycle rider for 40 years, a lover of the Icelandic nature and the area you rode (called "Syðri Fjallabaksleið" by us natives) I have to say you did a fantastic job in capturing our fragile, stark beautiful landscapes. I got goosebumps, that's how good this is!

[@KZN_Dunghutti]

Mate you have the most beautiful home I want to visit Iceland hopefully when I get a bit older. Very beautiful land and culture

[@TimoCruz177]

let it be known that all this beauty and big adventure was done in a small 450cc dual sport bike with basically no ultra high tech stuff. You don't need 50k usd BMW 1250GS bikes to be an adventure, take the money you would use to buy that bike and spend it actually travelling and hiring tour guides and professionals to help you in your journey, thank you Brent Pearson for showing us that this is possible

[@existinthenow7443]

I don't know how to explain it, but the 'feeling' there must have been magical.

[@flakkarinn]

This video is one of the best I have ever seen from a motorcycle ride, anywhere. I personally know how much work is behind a documentary like this and how difficult it is to be one of the guys and also filming and trying to maintain a story. The editing is superb and the music is so in line with the landscape and the action. Well done!

[@Marcspix.]

I have to second that! One of the best moto/docos Ive ever seen!

[@TimKyoutube]

You have accomplished what all youtoobers aspire to... combine great visuals with storytelling.

[@LewiiiG]

The filming and cinematics of this are absolutely insane man! Congrats that some memories for sure

[@LiveFree-ij3hn]

Brent, I have to say, this is the best motorcycle adventure I have ever seen, cinematic quality is amazing but what sets this apart is you didn't have any monetizing on it and the user experience was just incredible. Being a motorcycle/atv enthusiast or really an outdoor nut I found myself so immersed I actually got emotional on some parts of the video, really hit a nerve. I thank you for such a great video and allowing your viewers to also have an adventure, that can only be accomplished when you get full immersed.

[@brentbat]

Hi there, thanks for your note. While I do monetize my videos by playing ads at the start and end, I turn off mid-video commercials because I don't want to detract from the content. Glad you appreciate it.

[@brendan18861]

Wow Brent! What a video mate!? Absolutely spectacular, and while I firmly believe your opinions are legit, I think the Icelandic Travel board owe you a few cold ones, as you captured the beauty of their country better than any travel show could have. Bucket list worthy stuff, and really seemed like you were exploring a new planet! Fantastic work!

[@tshansen]

Another masterclass in storytelling and videography Brent, really nice to watch, and the guys as Ride with Locals on Iceland are absolute legends. Iceland has been on my bucket list for longer than I can remember. Still a little bit pricy for my budget, but one day I will be up there riding. I'm not a huge fan of tours my self, but this looks really promising and probably priced the same as if I would ship my bike up and spend more time camping. Cheers from 🇳🇴

[@brentbat]

Yeah you are right.... Unless you were going to spend a huge amount of time touring a country, this is a great way of doing it. I've looked into shipping bikes overseas, and it's expensive and complicated, so you really have to invest in a major multi-month adventure for it to pay off.

[@martinh9120]

Simply amazing, I wonder if the Dakar could take a small detour. Thanks Brent

[@advswede]

What an incredible landscape. Thank you for sharing

[@Louie_Ponce_Motography]

[@anthonya7066]

Oh my god, that was so incredible I am going to have to watch it all again. Have no idea the cost to get there from Oz and do this guided tour, but it would be worth it whatever it was. Brent your production did justice to this unbelievable landscape, and that would be the highest compliment I can give. Thank You.

[@gufra9835]

You found the right words.. nothing more to say... simply: incredible! And, so many thanks! T7 rider Guenther, Austria

[@unscriptedrides]

I have never been saturated with beautiful scenery in one video. It was too much to watch, really makes you think of leaving current stuff and go out riding - so much out there to explore. What a lovely journey and edit of the same.

[@chiralhead7577]

this goes straight to my bucket list, one of the best travel videos out there, amazing work !!

[@codysampson3462]

While I only did the four-day tour, my experience was similar; I love the Iceland dirt biking and found the views, as you put it, stunning. Also, i found myself loving the 350's too. So much beauty and even your great phonography cant put into words, rather emotion, how the landscape liberates ones soul. Great job!!
