The Adventure: Chris Birch, Say No To Slow

I’m a very lucky guy. I get to make my living riding motorcycles, teaching others to ride motorcycles (for your free videos, click here:https://content.saynotoslow.nz/get/co...) and attending motorcycle events. But sometimes we need more adventure than running schools and following the organisers' tracks.

This ride was what I needed. I had an idea of the areas I wanted to explore, my mate Adrian was brave enough to join me, and that was the extent of the planning! The West Coast of New Zealand is a rugged region with massive mountains, remote tracks, and endless rivers that can swell due to the infamous West Coast weather. You can’t call it Adventure Riding if there is no adventure, and it's not an adventure without a bit of struggle. These are the kinds of challenges that make adventure riding so fun!

The greater your skill set, the greater the adventures you can go on. This is the sort of video where I’m bound to get comments like ‘How does he do that!’ and now you can find the closest thing to the answer, with the Say No To Slow Everything Adventure instructional series. This covers everything from the basics (bike set up, body position, brake and clutch control, cornering etc) to techniques for rocks, mud, sand, obstacles and more. There is even a whole episode on how to tackle swollen New Zealand river crossings. Check it out at saynotoslow.nz
