And now for something completely different... desert riding!
Overseas viewers often ask why I don't show any riding in the outback.
That's because it's at least a six hour drive. And I'm not keen on 12 hours driving
to ride my dirt bike for 10 minutes in a desert.
Instead, this is footage kindly donated from the Everide channel,
of some spectacular riding in Utah in the USA. And then there are these incredible
views from the Torimoto Youtube channel in the Australian outback.
Viewers have often asked why I don't buy a drone. There are two reasons.
First, the good ones are expensive and it was hard to justify the expense.
And this Youtube gig barely provides the income to keep food on the table and my bikes running.
Second, it would disrupt our rides too much. You have to unpack the drone, set it up, tell
your riding buddies where to ride, you film them, then they come back and you pack it all up again.
But Tori from the Torimoto channel is using the incredible Skydio drone that
is self flying and simply follows you and avoids all the obstacles along the way.
Also it seems to be the only drone not made in China. It's made in the good old USA.
It will take about 25 people becoming supporters to buy this. Any extra funds over that will go
toward funding another free home for a Cambodian family living in poverty. Here was our last one.
The problem? It's bloody expensive. I usually avoid asking viewers to become supporters in the
middle of my vids. I only mention it at the very end of some vids. But if you have been thinking
of becoming a supporter, and would like to see lots of drone footage in future videos, sign up!
Supporters get over 360 supporter vids created over the past five years. And
while I can manage the workload, I will be creating a new supporter video every week.
That's all folks! I will leave you with a bit more footage and this great music from Atch,
an Australian musician who puts his music out for free.
