Getting injured overseas is never part of the plan, but after charging the jungle trails for the last 7 days with my mates, an encounter with a tractor called for evasive action.

Video Summary
AI GeneratedA group of dirt bike enthusiasts navigates the rugged landscapes of Thailand during the final stages of an epic tour. The journey is marked by challenging jungle trails, river crossings, and mechanical mishaps, balanced by the beauty of rural village life and the camaraderie of the riders as they head back toward Chiang Mai.
Uh-oh, someone's down. Big fella's down.
There's another bike. Was there a person somewhere?
Oh, it's Jono. We're down
to the second last day of
what has been the ultimate
dirt bike holiday.
And let's face it, this ride is less about
the bikes than it is the amazing landscape
they are carrying us through.
What are we up to? Day seven, Bradley.
Different scene
to last night.
Went back through
the little village. We had
The
dinner.
The
lunch
the
other
day. The
amazing
lunch.
Struggling.
Such
tractors.
You
know
on the
back wheel
to pop out
of this rut.
Seems like
everyone's a bit
tired after
the rest day.
We got some
militia.
We've got some
Thai militia.
Old mates
packing a
hefty, hefty
rifle there.
Now into our seventh day on the bike.
Everyone is in tune
and running a fairly decent pace.
Uh-oh someone's down. Big fella's down.
There's another bike. Was there a person somewhere?
Oh, it's Jono.
How's he
going?
Was
that a
big hit?
Yeah.
Jono must have hit the rut and crashed
and a big fella went on top of him.
Thank you all for the movement.
Maybe I'm moving into this a bit of a...
How's he going, Josh?
Yeah, he can move everything.
Big hit.
That's a bit of a crossroad.
Business as usual, Jono?
Yeah, mate.
Now we're out of Pye.
We're pushing
through some big
jungle trails
to get to a town
called Changdao.
Bradley's been slightly off his game on the hill climbs
and is curious to find an answer
with his bike.
After all these years I've finally got you to dig into the excuse book.
Do you think that's what it is?
Oh no.
You'll know.
Press it.
Squeeze mine.
Head on with the buffalo.
You're a part of the mind.
It's about five in the morning.
Leaving it at that, huh?
Less grip and harder.
Yeah.
It's unheard of for Bradley to go digging into the excuse book.
He's sick of me going past him on the uphills.
Oh, he's got a few Ks on him now.
Starting the journey back to Chiang Mai.
Two days to go.
Tomorrow is the last day.
Village life.
This little bridge.
Bradley's on the pegs.
He loves it.
He loves travelling the world.
It's his new thing.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Seaweed.
Seaweed.
Let's eat some f***ing seaweed, man.
No, just listen to it.
Live
a little.
I can almost roll it up.
You can't walk over there.
This is the best.
My kids love it.
For the first time in a long time.
The Thailand tour continues.
It's been a laugh.
A lot of good cats on this tour.
It's been fun.
It's still fun.
Jungle rice fields.
Whoa, watch out for the ruts, corn fields.
It's not rice fields.
It's corn.
Switchbacks.
Yeah, look at it.
it must get to a certain amount of moisture content in the soil
and then it just dies
because you could be mistaken
for that to be sprayed with
glyphosate this is epic little
shrines everywhere yeah wow
i didn't expect thailand
to be such
an epic off-road experience
you know ah we've got
a corner man hanging left
boys you corner man we're
good oh we got a river
Looks like we've got a decent river crossing.
We're crossing
the bridge.
The wobbly bridge.
Josh
is
done.
There's a couple of broken bits of wood.
But otherwise, she's getting a wobble up.
But
we're
away.
Bradley's paddling. He's choked.
Look, Bradley's ---- scared.
He's going to hit neutral next.
Bradley's totally shitting himself.
What's going on?
Bradley, you're shitting yourself.
This is going to test everything.
Who knows how many more
dirt bike crossings
this bridge has left
in it.
Regardless, it would seem to me that going slow
would only increase your chance of falling through a brittle plank.
I can hear Bradley.
It's Bradley.
Yep, he wants it.
He wants it.
Ha ha ha!
Yes!
This
is
on!
Everyone
is used to
our antics.
Battles
within
battles
are around
every
corner.
And while we're always riding within our limits,
it's safe to say we're riding the limit of the bikes.
Look
at
Bradley!
Look
at
Bradley's
lines!
Oh my god.
He just totally sliced the pack!
That was epic!
Hahahaha!
Who would be absolutely loving that?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Oi! That was the pass of the day!
A 45 downhill chop!
I'm gonna apply a bit of pressure to A
for the simple fact that he's loving it.
I think he's started to realize
that the caliber of lunatics he's been trying to lead
the last five days, six, seven days,
and he's stepping it up.
Oh, he's lucky.
He's lucky,
he's made it to a cornerman.
What do you need?
I gotta do a ----.
Do ya?
Yeah.
Oi, look what I got in the rally.
Moist.
He he he he he.
Go find your wallow, you wildebeest.
How'd you go? You got the squirts? You didn't film me, did you?
Nah, nah. Nah, but yeah, but nah. Is he the last bloke? That's Peng.
Was he the last one? Oh, well Monster just went. He's the last one.
And end
up in the
ditch.
Makings
of a
perfect
storm.
Bradley
and I
are at
the very
back
of the
field
with a
succession
of
corner
man and
clear
track
ahead
of us.
Fun and
games
until
someone
throws
it away.
I think
there's
a third
bike on
our case.
Nah.
It's just the
rumble of
the jungle.
The bad news is, I've dislocated my left shoulder
for the first time ever.
The good news is, I've dislocated my right shoulder
more than 20 times over the years.
So I'm well trained in relocating my own shoulder,
minimizing the violation of the ligaments.
There was no way out of that but down.
Back up pop me shoulder.
I've never done this one before.
I got it back.
That was good thinking. Oh, there
was no other option. I wasn't going into it.
How'd the old number one fare? Hit a tractor.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I'm good. We put on a bit of a show for Monster.
Did you say we go far now?
I was looking at him and going,
he's going to come to me next.
Yeah, at first I thought, don't go over the cliff.
No, I won't.
So I hooked in.
I didn't even see that till the...
That was what I didn't want to hear.
And that's what I was trying to say.
It was just an oil disaster.
It's done.
Well, lucky I got a tuck in.
Yeah, what happened? Did it pop out?
It popped out.
Yeah, I got it in real quick.
Yeah, I know how to do it.
it was real quick. Yeah I done
that ---- back there otherwise I would have done it here in me pants.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah I got ******* busters laughing. He goes you come past.
You have your camera going.
All of it yeah yeah it's all it's all part of the story.
They're boring.
Watch out for the detractors.
Cannot believe I did that shoulder.
So you'll be right? Yeah, it's all good. It's good.
And now I'll have my front row seats.
I didn't know which one to slow you down for.
That one or that one?
So
where
does
that
go to?
See lunch is the new
spring cloth.
What's the situation?
He protects the area.
They take a duck
and walk him to Thailand.
Drugs on foot?
Yeah.
And they catch them?
Yeah.
And then kill him.
That's, I guess, that's the way it is, yeah?
Yeah.
Don't carry drugs into Thailand.
Yeah.
And are they stopping this road because of this?
Yeah.
So we're going over?
They have to ask where we're going, where we're from.
Ah.
Yeah.
Australia.
The boys mean business.
Did we did he crack a smile for us? I'm not looking.
You're looking good.
Thank you lads. Yeah awesome.
A lot of ---- went down just back there. Oh mate. Come down again.
Again? So we were mid-race just
the two of us had the whole track
Laughing, passing, dicing, all of that,
and then come over this crest, and there's Hammer
just completely blocking a cliff going,
to ourselves flying along.
no worries, Hammer, just laid it into a bulldozer
blade.
I had to just throw it away.
Yeah, I threw it, popped my left shoulder,
and it just got worse.
Don't hit, Hammer.
Don't go off the cliff.
Oh, now there's a bulldozer blade.
So I just thought, I'm off.
Just chuck it away.
Hang on, this is like gearbox number three, I'm at least six days in.
Well, the first bit of damage to the number one bike,
throwing it down has hypershifted
the gear lever and bent the selector teeth.
The selector, is that the replacement?
That's it.
Looks fine.
That's the replacement.
All set.
Look, they've got, they've got heaps of them.
So what's happened is that selector tooth has broken off
on the upshift, so it's stuck
You can downshift but you can't upshift.
Trail side mechanics.
Bush mechanic.
No, jungle mechanic. Whole different breed.
But this just went.
Because I've never done it, it's so dry.
Suck it back.
Watch your helmet, Adam.
It's a vibe.
Adam, watch your helmet.
It's all ready, sir.
Action!
Ready?
Oh! Oh!
How long the bite took
for you to do this all?
Hey, they look really good this morning.
Yeah, they'll back up brand new.
Look, I've got new grips, new chain.
I'm
this thing will be a sweet ride after this uh
starting
the last day the trail side maintenance here
See, Waikung.
the tooth clears out the way and then it
and then you can no longer shift up so that should be on
the same plane as that it's folded out the way
and it's slipping on the upshift done yeah look at the
to
Lucky they've got a spare.
speak.
Yeah, so it's...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Lucky we got the right man for the job.
He's a machine.
He is a machine.
Legend.
He's done this once.
You've done this once or twice.
30, 40,000 kilometers these pence.
And then you have to put a whole...
Alpistar protects you.
Throw it down the road.
Did you need any drugs or anything?
I don't know.
They've done more damage
to my flipper plates than ever, Eddie.
What's that?
Tomorrow morning.
Yeah.
Out with the old, in with the new.
Look at the precision
of the jungle mechanic.
Jungle mechanic.
I don't
know, it's
the text
pattern.
He's just doing his job.
He doesn't want to be thanked or make a big fuss.
It's done already. Yeah, it's done.
Like easy weapon.
Yeah, well changed gearbox repair trail side.
Silky smooth gearbox.
Later boys. Fresh oil, new selectors.
We're back in business. Those guys are amazing.
Let's
roll
Iron
Horse.
The old
chicken
wing's
a bit
tender.
But look at this joint.
First time I've really got an understanding of buddhism.
Such an accepting
flow of life. They're not upset or agitated by anything.
Cooking equipment. Look at that cooker.
44. Best barbecues.
Look at this old deer.
What a treasure. So peaceful.
Oh how's the school?
Yeah

life.
Such
a
different
world.

Slightly relieved, every Arvo,
to get the boys all back in.
He is the captain of this tour.
I reckon
I reckon this hotel's gonna be fairly Hollywood.
Everyone is so happy
to see us here.
Josh left me hanging, but our little factory mechanic.
Good times, Hammo.
Good times, mate.
There's just been chaos daily.
I know.
I won't break it for you.
Managing 18 bloody renegades.
Lunatics.
Oh, ----.
Oi, let's max it out.
Capacity 8 persons.
Have we maxed it out?
Bradley, sorry mate.
It says 8 persons.
Three people, what a light weight.
We weigh 550 kilos.
Delivery is 550 kilos, so clearly between the three of them...
Oi, you missed all the carnage today.
Yes, I ******* know.
Don't even ask.
Oh no, you want to know.
I'm not joking, you want to know.
I'm still alive, so that's okay.
It's actually day 7,
today is day 7, cheers men,
tomorrow is day 8,
day 6 is rest day.
Tomorrow's day, day seven was today.
Take the head, Bradley.
Oh, it's been, it has been.
There's a bit here.
Some good Thailand river fish.
If you're gonna get croaked, it'll be off that.
Straight down the hatch.
There's no muddy water at all, mate.
Crystal clear stream.
Give us some of this curry. What is it? No, that's not even hot.
Is it? But what animal is it? Chicken.
You can hear it.
Could you say it wasn't hot? Street chook. No, that one's all right.
High street chook.
They're the best choice.
There's a track here, straight down.
Press on with the team through the jungle.
Freedom is close.
Nice.
