Cantaloupes, sounds about right. Amazing riding skills and what a great sound

[@eyalcr500]

the man is amazing..... shit, i can't ride like that even with my 2017 YAMAHA WR 250 F !!!!

[@edgarbleikur1929]

Mary Valley cantaloupes!

[@stephanieburger8672]

@The Greatman Maybe you need to hop on an AT and go show Mick how it is done if you are so good. I would love to see you keep up with him in some of the places he takes that big bike. You're pathetic mate.

[@stephanieburger8672]

Wow that Ozzie charm or lack off. Take your trailer trash talking ass bqck to the gutter you belong in. You are nothing but an attention seeking little gutter snipe punching way above his weight class with no style or even an ounce class. I have better things to do than listen to some with a small disfunction looking for attention. Bye.

[@rybradley8825]

Honda should use this as a promotion video. Proves this bike can do anything with a capable rider.

[@MVDBR]

Yeah I agree, as long as they give us all brand new ATs ;-) Thanks for the comment mate!

[@vivekstreme1994]

Producer: so what level of off-roading can you handle? Mick: Yes.

[@MVDBR]

Hahaha, pretty much! Thanks for the comment man 🤙

[@Sblackb2]

Mick is the man! It is nice to see people send it on big bikes.

[@MVDBR]

Hell yea, it's an inspiration for sure. Cheers man 👍😎

[@Anandhukesav]

Finally a video solely on the africa twin haha...Mick has skills man, throwing around that big beast around ain't that easy...cheers to more videos and ride safe guys 90 percent into the video,I can't believe how many times he tried jumping them huge logs,damn he has the guts..this video just proves that it's mostly the rider and not the motorcycle that matters..

[@MVDBR]

Yep so true, glad you liked the video mate cheers 😎

[@andydrummer3754]

Totally.

[@uonlyliveonce]

By far the best off roading video of an AT I've seen. If I could ride 1% of his skill I'd be a happy camper!

[@MVDBR]

Yeah mate I agree, cheers 👌

[@RadimStrnad]

you confirm that the skills of most riders are far behind the abilities of this bike. You are the rare exception :) Big respect!

[@ThrillaPark]

Wow! Killer riding. And thanks for not ruining this with crappy music. So nice to hear the bikes!!

[@MVDBR]

Cheers Alex yeah only put music over the footage with already ruined audio, had to have mostly the big twins noise in there, love it!

[@JCThomasmedia]

You really can't fully appreciate this unless you've felt the weight of that bike. This guy is Awesome!

[@jasondeckie]

one word to describe both man and machine....BEAST!!! Love the growl of the AT opened up! Great riding, good vid too Josh.

[@MVDBR]

Thanks mate glad ya liked it 😎

[@darrylgibb2693]

"God"...... has a year gone already. I've just revisited this vid again. I saved it for a rainy day and now I'm in the 4th day of total lockdown here in Jacinda Adern country. Thank you Mad Mick you are a bloody legion of the highest order. And big thanks to the crazy crew at MVDBR Enduro.

No matter how many times I watch this I never tire of it. The man has no fear. I'm guessing Mick was a semi-pro rider back in the day. Either that or a born natural. Inspirational to watch.

[@fibercycles6982]

Honda should sponsor this guy! He is a beast on that bike.

[@marzan6857]

I said it once I will say it again this Man is the reason that I bought an Africa Twin and have had nothing but fun ever since. This is my go to video for inspiration. Thanks for posting.

[@ibetrollintheybehatin6857]

I literally LOL'D a few times. He's fearless. Reminds me of when I was a kid and we used to make my buddy Jimmy try all the jumps, downhills, and put him in harms way 100% of the time, so we didn't have to. Man, this was great, best wishes

[@MVDBR]

😄 poor Jimmy. Thanks mate!

[@daryndeamron9236]

So much for Chris Birch and his KTM. Bring on Mick and his Africa Twin I say !! Mick is a true inspiration. Can't wait to see Vol.2

[@MVDBR]

Yeahhh 💪 Don't hold ya breath for the next compilation though could be a year away depends how often Mick lets us drag him out in the fun stuff 😁

[@mojomanmurph1925]

The dude got mad-savage skills. Honda should hire him as a test rider for the African Twin.
