PA Wilds BDR-X Documentary Film

[@need2ridemore639]

Love the concept for the shorter bdr loops. Being at a point in my life that time does not allow me to do long routes, these are an excellent option. Thanks for the hard work to make these possible!

[@cencalrigger]

Same. Like, I'm old enough to be somewhat responsible... But not so much that I can just leave home for 7 days plus travel to&from. Can't wait for retirement, though.

[@danarussell4246]

Wow, I've ridden Jack O'Connors Pine Barrens 500 before and now the guy turns out to be a celebrity. I knew I should gotten his autograph years ago. Great video!

[@sigmund3413]

I remember when Jack laid out the first maps of the Pine barrens 500. My Endurp club assisted him. Jack has done more for legal off-road riding than any other person in New Jersey . Nice guy. Too.

[@matt-roden]

Really like the concept of smaller routes, especially for states that may not be suitable for a full length BDR. If Michigan is ever on the docket, I’d love to help. We have some amazing riding and scenery!

[@thebreadedcrab4252]

Michigan neeeeds a bdr bad

[@curburenthusiasm6457]

That feeling you get when you live an hour away from a BDR

[@YevZakharov]

That feeling you get when you live 10 hours from the nearest BDR.

[@Seveneleven44]

Same. I spend a lot of time fishing in the BESF and know the new Columbia end of the forest like the back of my hand. Can’t wait to do this route for the first time this summer.

[@Mickyvit]

I live 10 minutes away from the bdr 😊

[@Advgirl25]

Yes, i agree with the feeling....we live close as well and absolutely love it

[@1wheeldrive751]

NE BDR goes past about 5 miles from my house in VT.

[@adventureaheadphoto]

The Adirondack Mountains are BEGGING for one of these.

[@dandersonjr]

BDR-X is a fantastic idea and since you picked my home state of Pennsylvania makes it even better. I hope you come up with these in every state. I can hardly wait to ride this one first.

[@cengizozbek5285]

Met Mr O’Connor at his Pine Barrens riding school which was a blast. This Summer recovering from a serious mc accident, but have put a deposit on the new ktm super adventure r. This bdr looks like exactly what I need come next riding season. CANT WAIT.

[@mfranquemont1884]

Looks like another great ride! Thank you BDR team.

[@onesabez]

I'm so glad you have a short route close to me.

[@Wdbjr12345]

I just did this last weekend. Not very hard but so much fun and it’s absolutely beautiful

[@woolengrappler]

Excellent idea!

[@OneOldManRiding]

A great idea. Section 8 of the MABDR is excellent. PA is beautiful to ride. - Frank

[@PineyRider]

Hmmm. Maybe me and my TW200 have a date next Spring or Summer. I sure do love the Pine Barrens too.

[@ruahinesrider]

Looks like a great adventure solo or group & can stay in Hotels.

[@1Sarradd]

Thank you for sharing this awesome knowledge and experience 💙

[@1Sarradd]

Ohio!?

[@74antipop]

Will be doing this trip summer 2024! Cannot wait.

[@trailrunnermike]

Me too!

[@surfman1968]

Another great bdr film as usual. What a great group of riders. Well done and thank you for your hard work developing these routes.

[@danielreams4042]

Awesome! Thank you for making this happen & sharing.

[@teabiscuit69]

7 mountains dual sport is next weekend, that's a 1 day 100 mile loop, better for 600cc and under bikes. Dirty Dabbers dual sport is a 2 day 100 miles/day trip with an adventure route and a dirt bike loop (that a 600cc can do ok). Look them up, the camping is much easier and food is provided, so cargo is much less of a hassle, you still get great views, awesome trails, more singletrack!

[@PSBEadventures]

Looking great guys. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication!

[@elitetileandstone]

I watched the preview last evening. I love the concept of the BDRX, especially since I only live a couple of hours from here. Pennsylvania has lots of great riding!

[@1wheeldrive751]

One point about the BDR X routes that I didn’t hear mentioned is, they form a loop. That is important if you plan to ride a small bike and trailer it to the BDR. Starting and ending at or near the same place makes trailering the bikes so much easier, compared to the more linear, full sized BDR routes, where the start and end points are several hundred miles apart. There are several established dirt ride routes in northern New England that can easily be spliced together to form a BDR X type loop route of 4 or 5 days riding. I have taken a small group on a 5 Day ride that included the Hampster Route, Bayley Hazen Military Road, Puppy Dog Route (south) and Trans Mass Trail. This was very Big Bike Friendly, but more challenging sections can be found and added by using other established tracks. The point is, it’s very easy to find unpaved tracks of varying condition throughout northern New England (Maine, NH, VT). You could spend several days in Vermont alone, just using the various versions of the Puppy Dog Route, Dirty Dog Route, Bayley Hazen Road, and BDR section 4 & 5.

[@kylewatts8816]

It says they loop within the thirty seconds of the video. Go back and start the video at 0:23 and you will hear it

[@1wheeldrive751]

@@kylewatts8816 I know. Read what I wrote again. I’m saying that is important and a good thing vs. the regular BDR linear format.

[@Gravelcruiser]

Absolutely stoked with this. Actually something I can do with a weeks vacation. Thanks

[@johnmartin7144]

Appears to be a pretty mellow ride compared to the western BDRs. May be really enjoyable for new riders!

[@jaybosher6144]

Did the route recently. Great fun for a new offroad rider like myself. Loved discovering the beauty of the state. If you don't have good mud tires don't do the hard extra routes, it's not worth the trouble. The normal route is great for regular adv tires

[@MaxwellBenson80]

Thank you for the warning! I'll be changing my tires before I go!!

[@hansenm2864]

Looks like fun! I want to do that!! 👍

[@wanderingturtleadventures8619]

I’m really excited for this concept. Such a good idea. I’m hoping for some challenging routes in the future.

[@stevenhertzler9901]

You did a great job on this John Putch,the best Director

[@Moneypit_Adventures]

Super excited to see one for The PA Wilds. I've done my own exploring of this area, just came across you guys and super happy I did. If you ever wanna do Pine Barrens in NJ reach out. We got plenty of different groups that could show you around.

[@davidwolfe1783]

Very cool!

[@kevnroberts7095]

My son and I did the loop in two days. That was too much for my 58 yr old bones. Three days would've been much better. We avoided the optional knarly stuff. There was a car rally race in a pretty large section that threw us off the the loop for a while. Was a good time with my son but 2nd day was a little too long. I was ready to get off.

[@95Civictuner]

Love to see someone riding a Himi! I hope to have an opportunity to take mine on a ride like that! Thank you for sharing the ride!!

[@jimbernard8964]

LOVE it! Can't wait to get on it. Okay, let's all just admit it, loops are a much better concept that a straight line route. Just make everything a loop from now on please.

[@anorakallknowing7719]

This is so awsome!! Helps that i live right in the middle of the 1st 2 sections too!! Safe riding!!

[@mlgomez9644]

GREAT! Thx BDR team.

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Great video with lots of incite through these amazing places!

[@elgringoec]

Beautiful job y'all, kudos!

[@jim5alive]

Great stuff! Can't wait to try it this year.

[@Nicodemaus1869]

Watched a bunch of these now. Amazing. You guys and girls at BDR are doing something really special. Unfortunately it’s tricky for me to do the routes as I’m not based in the USA. Do you know of any similar organisations or ways to find similar routes in Europe or East Asia?

[@danielb9644]

Should be a BDR Michigan

[@walterlucken2252]

I would try it on my R1150R

[@gauravbiswas3644]

Good to finally see the Himalayan on a BDR!

[@EvergreenOG]

Riding with a guy like Jack would be really cool. Seems like a great guy. Thinking when I could do this? Can u rent a bike for this?

[@Petesmotoadventure]

Great idea. Hope someday we see some for the southeast US.

[@masterspin7796]

That looks like a lot of cool fun I been doing the pavement thing on my 2022 1250 R/T made up some good rides this summer...

[@enfieldriderpa1061]

i cannot wait to ride this.. i wonder if there will be a NE PA into NY/Catskills BDR loop ever? (please) 🙂

[@rjsalameh]

Love this!! can I do this on the Continental Trail Attached tires on my GS?

[@bobbybecker8834]

Awesome job I'm very excited to try this next year. Does anyone know if there's any single-track off of this route in any if the sections?

[@SuperSnallygaster]

Looks like fun! Think I'll skip the mud holes though 😂

[@PyrateRumRunner]

Wondered if that white riding suit would get dirty! 😂😂

[@relital3362]

Are the four sections (assume none of the "expert" portions) suitable for the big ADB bikes such as GS 1200 and such?

[@williammahaffy4642]

Same question

[@travelbicol]

i love this video the story .,,. ilove this video :)

[@marcoluoma3770]

Am planning to do the route in the spring. I notice the start/end points for each stage are different between the PDF map, the online map, the GPS tracks, and this video. Anybody have any insights?

[@RandyP-i6e]

Is this route only for adventure bikes or are other vehicles permitted?

[@AdamChandler86]

I would love to work on one of these off the NEBDR. Maybe partner with Andrew & Eric up here.

[@SuperiorTim989]

The flatlander route is awesome and it actually has some decent technical terrain.

[@RuggedEarthMan]

well I know what I'm doing this summer

[@mototaco2132]

Whuuuut.... Dropping the 1090 in the puddle.... how did you get it up? I also have a 1090, and it weighs a ton.

[@Fahrenheit38]

Not to sound stupid but what is BDR exactly? Is it a for private company or like a club? Also can I jsut as a regular person go on these trails?

[@Thomas-fj5zf]

Puedes poner tu video en español por favor saludos chavos desde ver mx

[@jessescheller9815]

Looking to do this ride in about a week. Could use some advice on getting a good game plan together, if someone has experience here. I only have 2 days to ride.

[@christiangallik4585]

Did the tenere do this with the stock pirelli rally str tires ?

[@crazyhawk99]

Looks great! Are the hard copy Butler maps available yet?

[@colbywyatt348]

Minute 6:15 of the video explains the map. ridebdr.com/pawilds/

[@crazyhawk99]

I’m aware of that. My question was specifically are the hard copy maps available for sale yet!

[@timothyjames16]

@@crazyhawk99 We will not producing/selling full-size Butler BDR maps for the X routes. We will however be working with Butler on creating 8.5" x 11" maps that will be offered as free PDF dowloads on the BDR wesbite. These can be simply printed-out by riders on a laser printer and tucked into a tank bag.

[@Zerububble]

@@timothyjames16 I have a request that applies to all of the BDR maps/GPX files - can mention be made of width restricted sections? A Ural is over 50" and apparently blocked from parts of the northern MABDR. We did 1-4 last year with no problems.
