Boats & Woes

We started today with an amazing ride down the Burma boarder through strong rapids with our dirt bikes strapped down to a small canoe. What a thrill going down the boarder with Burma on one side & Thailand on the other side, hey Top Gear suck on this.




Today was the real deal bike session, we had hard hits & tight tracks. In true Mad 5 Style Travis falling off an edge of a mountain but with the thanks to Mr Hellya coming to the rescue I saved his ass. Travis mother should be sending me a Christmas thank you card after that, I was the person holding on to Travis & his bike as he was hanging off the mountain. I held on long enough for the rest of the boys to help get Travis out of trouble. Fark me it was a little close but don’t worry I have footage & will be uploading shortly.


.
Simon had another hard day on the bike, he hit the ground hard on more times then I have cold beers on this trip. He is bruised but going hard. I think he will be in pain tonight.
.
Duncan had his first crash today in front of 3 cameras so we now have hard evidence he is as shit as the rest of us on bikes, we are happy to see him finally on his ass as both Fred and I had a little crash before he came off. About time Duncan crashed, we where getting worried he might show us up!!
.
Fred had a silly off after going through a big puddle and super manned off in the scrub, he is very lucky he did the Hammond roll and saved his sexy little face. Fred’s Moe is still in tact.
.
Mr Hellya I am not going to fall of a bike had 2 good spills today thanks to Travis making me fall off, there was no way my average bike skills and showing off would put me on my ass!!!

We ended tonight sitting around a fire in a forestry hut as we cook up our own feed on the Thailand side over looking Burma. This is starting to become a real deal bike adventure.

As we say at the start of every morning Yea Buddy lets ride bikes.
