This video says everything about why I love Oregon. Thanks Icon, this film should win some sort of two-wheeled Oscar!!!

[@stjjames]

I love that this is all Oregon - all the places I grew up riding !

[@SamChou]

OH MY GOD. I have watched this video probably about a dozen times over the years, and I legitimately thought these were places all around the globe, like the section intros claim. I just googled them all and they're fictional places. I need to know where all the places are so I can ride them now that I finally bought a Tiger after watching Icon's videos all these years. I can make some guesses: Tillamook, Florence, Christmas Valley, Hood, Bachelor?

[@phlewid]

@@SamChou You only missed on Christmas Valley... although it was a candidate when we scouted locations. And the big desert at the end is the Alvord Playa, of course.

[@noyzizi]

The most amazing part of this is how they managed to turn their bikes around in that helicopter.

[@bigggene861]

noyzizi shit pissed me off

[@christianxzowner2958]

I think they watch #PolTarres alot

[@aselinaisaeva6511]

🎉😢

[@phlewid]

I love that someone caught this detail. Lol. We wondered about the continuity when we shot it, but figured, they are stunt riders.... they would figure out how to turn them around in there.

[@seanoleary1979]

If all commercials were this good, regular programming would be doomed! AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@jimbob8900]

Easily the best motorcycle video I've seen on youtube...well done to all those involved :)

[@nsrlegaltech]

This never gets old!! 2020 - anyone anyone?. New Guy? You payin' attention?

[@alexbaca7962]

"We broke the other 'best of the best', so your more like the 'best that was available'" omfg!😂😂😂

[@Dashport-ih7ww]

This was one of the most entertaining movies of icon......... Loved it too much !

[@Thizlamic]

Still as good as the first time I watched it!!! WOOOOO

[@LoveMyZJ]

How does this not have more views?? People need to see this!

[@royaljordanian]

simply brilliant

[@nsrlegaltech]

Good thing new guy found that chain saw! 👍

[@steveo1kinevo]

Amazing video! Love near the end when you they are feeding dust into the dust storm!

[@Gloomshadow100]

this ad is genius.. I kept watching the whole way through. I wear all Icon street gear.. best gear Ive found so far.. thanks Icon.

[@the14ball]

Awesome! Love the humor! I've been researching which adventure bike I wanted to buy. I have a Triumph street bike and love it. Now I am sold on the Tiger 800 XC. Icon could have chosen any adventure bike but they chose the Tiger. That says alot.

[@MrZariqali]

I bought my Tiger 800XC after i watch this video.. 2013.. good old days.. such a great bike..

[@BrainStudios]

Fantastic. As a videomaker I can understand how difficult was this project to realize, both for the riders and the production team!

[@NPD-e9v]

This deserves so many more views than it has.

[@Jackoalltrades]

This video made me buy this bike.

[@superbikesrule6012]

Great! Good for you1 How is it going?

[@JimmyNewCakes]

Task failed successfully. You were supposed to buy the Icon riding gear. 😂 But I'm with you. I wanted the bike since seeing this video and finally got one a few years ago.

[@carpenter5575]

Excellent 👌

[@Ramoa111]

pretty cool congrats. l dont see Alpinestars doing a movie

[@tackleberry4646]

this never gets old ;)

[@VagabondGuide]

Haha! Great video guys! Even though I saw mostly Oregon in your video. :) Good riding though. I've ridden most of those places.

[@m.a.8789]

This was possibly the coolest advertisement I've ever seen. Well done!

[@whiteboundry]

odd but cool, before i ever saw this or heard of icon, i had picked out the triumph tiger 800xc se as a bike to put on my dream list. and no, my last bike was a suzuki boulevard, i have never owned a triumph, but i will!

[@nomad_lad]

I wish @ICONmotorsport @IconRaiden still did videos like this. I've watched it at least 10 times, start to finish, over the years.

[@JoeGo101]

I cant believe the whole head light came off at the end lol

[@ricardopinho7175]

+JoeGo101 are you commenting on all the motorcycle videos!?!? great videos, keep the good work!

[@JoeGo101]

+Ricardo Pinho (R41zan) yup :) I like me some 2 wheels bro :D greatly appreciated bro :D

[@derekdewerth4823]

+JoeGo101 lol i also cant believe that i also cant believe that you commented on this video. speaking of videos i love yours man keep up the good work and you should buy that bmw s1000 r

[@JoeGo101]

+DONQUISHA AWESOMESAUCE thanks bro yeah an s1000r would be bad ass :D

[@joho6051]

+JoeGo101 great videos!!

[@Senetor17]

For an advertisment, this is one of the best short films I have ever seen. Keep them coming.

[@HugoGSamuraiHg]

Fantastic Video Thumbs up

[@lurgable]

triumph has quickly become one of the best bike makers, and is winng a lot of test. Own a street triple r, myself and gotta say it's amazing!

[@brianost2703]

Ernie's high side in the desert looked so painful that my baby girl kissed the Computer screen to make his "boo boo" better.

[@alexridervlogs5018]

I absolutely love it 🤩

[@klrnoel]

They are Tiger 800xc's (I have one) and yes they do sound like that with the ARROW exhaust

[@1jasonover]

This was nothing short of extraordinary. What amazing skills these 2 have. Much respect. And the production quality was great too

[@OKNERO]

New guy, I might even learn your name. HAHAHA! Dope ass video man, now I want that dad bike.

[@gguunneer]

you are the best can get on weekend with little time!

[@SpecB56]

Nothing in the world has made me want an adventure bike more than this video.

[@TwoGuysArmory]

Oh sure its easy to ride like this when you dont have bags and all the extras needed to do this kind of riding!

[@ellertj]

Some of this riding is hard on a big heavy bike like this, regardless of lack of luggage :)

[@FedExFred920]

The best commercial ever!!! I couldn't stop my self watching it.

[@wonderbubble3980]

I just want to know how they turned their bikes around in the helicopter.

[@sjoerdwitt8358]

Haha me too

[@HeartBrokenBiker]

Easy, disassemble -> Reassemble facing the other way.

[@wonderbubble3980]

***** Having a bike slightly smaller than theirs in a garage with much more space that isn't running and is thus in the process of disassembly....yeah probably easier than wheelieing it and turning it around on one wheel. Shit's heavy yo.

[@undeaddread]

ever heard of fiction?

[@donaldkhogan]

Side stand pivot. All ADV guys should know how to do it, it's a life saver.

[@abcjelly]

awesome👍 movie🎬

[@John_Neves]

At the start i thought this was going to be a porn movie :D

[@quetschmasterv.5107]

John Neves it kinda was, wasn't it?

[@trublemakers8857]

it is better :D

[@BulletCoupleJoelLadakh]

John Neves at the end too

[@debroyprasenjit]

I know right!

[@MrUgothebest]

It' s always a pleasure to rewatch it

[@Swedeonamotorcycle]

This is exactly why im getting the Triumph tiger 800 xc. Im about to go on a trip through some barrels and stair and boxes in the city before heading to the Rainforest and mud, then on to the alps for some snow riding. After that im going to the desert, how ever i wont touch any nuklearbombthingy so i just skip that and go home to a hot chick and a dark voiced black dude scaring the sh..t out of me.. :) LOVE this Video and it deserves an oscar for best... ehh.. best everything :)

[@RiggintheDubVee]

I can't even put into words how overly fun and amazing this would actually be. Absolute dream job right there.

[@bigbosshossin]

this ad makes me want to buy bikes and tires, not gear

[@RollinwithRoland]

Incredible video, and amusingly funny!! How am I just seeing this for the first time?!! I need to collaborate with this cinematographer. ^_^

[@profipix]

Doesn't look like Costa Rica jungle. Looks more like the forests of Oregon and Washington.

[@rneustel222]

I don't think the Sierra Club has anything to do with Costa Rican forests, either.

[@danielstobbs7366]

fz07er ya man it's Canada I think

[@TimothyKithinji]

This is AWESOME!! this guys know what they are doing on BIKEs. I love it.

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

great way to showcase a bike like these. 👍 them some skills boys. I would have hurt myself 🙈 if not killed myself trying to ride a tiger like that 😛

[@gustavojimenezjimenez3685]

Simply spectacular, what great pilots these two guys, greetings from Costa Rica ...

[@AnkitKumar22]

who all came here after seeing nikhil's insta story?

[@alexward3007]

Oregon never looked so good. I have ridden all those places without leaving the state. No really, I did not have to leave Oregon to ride it. Great vid!!!!

[@markaschulz]

Sweet Ad. Loved all the Oregon areas that they spot lighted.

[@Blindranger]

Portland to Dakar...without ever leaving Oregon...Awesome!

[@OliverKorz]

Der Hammer,wie geil manche fahren können und was manche für kreative Filmideen haben, da kann ich nur den Hut ziehen.

[@CodcastIt]

Spectacular and funny, perfect combination. All ads should be like this.

[@thethunderidesconepalendur8198]

i cry when i see this video....

[@psittacid]

At least they blew all their production money on the riding parts. My recommendation is to watch it with volume off. Absolutely fantastic riding.

[@RealPornFlakes]

wow, this is just epic and eveytime you think it can't get more epic. - it suddenly gets more epic!

[@hugostiggletz]

loved every minute of it... i bet i watch again before the days over

[@chasearchibald2039]

Fantastic riding. The coastal dunes were awesome.

[@lloydb248]

Fantastic way to advertise your products, best 31minutes I've spent on KZbin for a while. AWESOME ICON. *subscribed*

[@revmatch2648]

I wish I could make mine look that light... awesome riding!

[@Yuno85]

This is the best adventure biking video i've seen since Long Way Round. Thank you Icon, I'd love to see more videos like this one!

[@Cl3viin]

I just love the sound the bikes make !

[@randomshitbekker]

that was the best thing I have ever watched. thank you icon. thanks

[@tomcatian001]

Awesome Clip! Awesome terrain! Awesome Riding! Awesome Filming! Well done Icon!!!!

[@klirren007]

Wow!! Triumph couldn´t have asked for better commercial for their Tiger 800XC. Awesome riding!!!!

[@johesaga77]

One of the greatest videos I've ever seen......really

[@ZUL_RBR]

" soo you are just like the best that was available" hahaha that made me laugh hard!!

[@FMXBrawlerZ]

Absolutely awesome! Just finished watching it again.

[@MrTrippleRAINBOW]

I love this long videos you should make more of these, best motorcycle shortfilm ever :)

[@sebulban]

Wonder how many times they had to service those front forks :) They are begging of ease from the riders..especially in the city scene. There is just not enough suspension travel for those jumps :) The video itself is amazing! Typical ICON stuff ! keep it coming !

[@WArayis]

guys .. yes i have the tiger xc .. let me feel the i mead the right choose ... thanks for this lovely great movie .. very impressive

[@danielwoozy]

Amazing, just amazing! Thank you god for giving us the ability to build amazing machines and control them like maniacs.

[@tango165]

Excellent!!!!! Great job Ernie and the new guy, hope Nick heals up fast..

[@zatoichi101]

This video is awesome!!! One of the best!!! Very, very well produced!!!!

[@thesupermariu]

I run Raiden jacket and trousers and a Icon helmet... it's been about 7 or 8 months, this morning I had to buy waterproof overs because they let all the rain through..... I also ride a tiger, and that one is amazing!

[@rossbendewald9504]

The trails in Costa Rica would be sick with our UTV's! Well done on the video.

[@crabblike]

Excellent production work! Great gear, great bike. Thanks guys.

[@MrButterpantz]

Fabulous cinematography, terrific editing, excellent marketing tool and kick ass video. I have trouble riding my 230lb KTM over some of that stuff, can't even imagine a 600lb monster. Thanks for the video.

[@mysonner4913]

Brilliant video , a classic love it and them triples

[@bigpun756]

Awesome short film. Love the Halo-esc helmets and the beautiful scenery.

[@BrittB76]

Dang! Makes me proud to live and ride in OR. Granted I haven't done all of this on one machine, props to those pro riders. I have ridden ~85%-90% on various "terrain appropriate" machines. Living the life when you can shred machine and terrain equally.

[@debroyprasenjit]

This is better than most motion pictures out there!

[@rovcanada]

Stupendously good bike scenes. My favourite scenes were the slo-mo gravel shots(4:20) along the railway lines and the dust-devil conjuring(25:40) on the Alvord hardpan! Gutsy, ballsy and downright sick! After watching this I can conclude that my Triumph Tiger is destined for a less-than-mediocre life.

[@Fuji29er]

Loved this video! Quite possibly the best motorcycle video on youtube. I enjoy all of your vids! keep it up ICON!!

[@Fueledbyfishing13]

alright, this video was frigen awesome great job guys and make another one Please!!!! omg u rock!!

[@jgarafalo1187]

woww what an epic movie man some people just get to fill there life with fun thumbs up to them

[@Qlydzdale]

This video was filmed entirely within the state of Oregon. Those of us who live here and know our way around recognize all of the locations.

[@cameronduvall2671]

best riding video i have ever seen. great job icon

[@tbjimcollins]

Great production guys, couldn't have been cheap! Great Stuff!

[@XnovacaneX]

didn't expect them to take bikes through all that, and drift through it all and just make it look beautiful! fucking awesome video,

[@lesmedland]

Very Good Course. Very Good Riders. Very Good Bikes. Very Good Photography. Very Well Put Together. Thankyou. Lezzo.

[@sebastian_hakansson78]

WOW!!! really cool video, sure its a bit of a set-up, bikes highly modified, pro drivers etc.. BUT still a really cool video of amazing adventure riding!!! (some parts look similar to northern Sweden..) will sure be watching more icon videos, great entertaining work guys!!

[@TheKilab]

I donno about the rest of you guys but this clip got me researching the bikes, totally forgot about the suits
