Iceland is a special country. At the end of last summer we shipped two KTMs to Iceland and joined Explore 360 in their trip around the island. Along the way they showed us some of their hidden gems, taught us the best way to see the island and we found out just how incredible the land of Fire and Ice is.
It rained hard for half the trip, was cold for the whole trip and was a complete joy to experience. If you enjoyed our newest travel film/travel guide, please pop a comment down below and subscribe to our channel!
Thanks!

WOW that looks just amazing. I have been there before but only a short trip in a 4x4 which is nothing like biking. I have ridden most of the world on my bikes and am due to do a 2000 mile trip around Iceland in Aug. Watching your clip makes me just want to pack every camera going right now and get going. I just cannot wait to get there now. Thanks for a great clip

Thanks for the show! I really enjoyed it! My father spent some time there back in the 1950s. The stick and map thing... It's something I learned in the military. Fingers are so big, they cover key terrain. Sticks or pointy blades of grass are much more efficient at letting people know where you are going and what they can expect to see along the way. Cheers!

Watching this experience through the eyes of Brake Magazine always makes for an interesting moment in time. Under the leadership of the man with maps and sticks it was always going to be a successful tour. So eloquently narrated, starring the riders themselves tackling the variable & sublime landscape. Chris from www.Explore360.nu is a master of creating unforgettable memories. Thank you for allowing us who have not travelled Iceland, to over indulge in the mystical secrets which are hidden away amoungst the lava fields.

Watched this from a link on advrider, fantastic video and I truly enjoyed the mix of footage. A question about the aerial footage if you don't mind answering - what drone did you use? Looks like it might be the Mavic Mini? I've been trying to capture footage like you did for a few years when riding and judging from what you did...I have a ways to go...lol. Wondered if you used active track or just flew manually? Iceland looks like a wonderful place to explore and ride; fire and ice for sure. Appreciate the time it takes to craft something like that, I know what goes into it.

@BrakeMagazine 4 жыл бұрын

Happy to answer! We use a DJI Mavic Air, just because of the size. If you have more room the Mavic 2 is better but with all the camera gear we don't. I shoot the video manually. Its the only way to get those kind of shots, however there is a drone that has amazing tracking compared to the DJI. Thanks for the kind words!

Overlanded there from N. Ireland 15 years ago on a DRZ. Submerged er in 6ft of water crossing a river. Nearly drowned. The currents pull you down if the crossing is wide. Got er out , pumped the water out , and cleaned the silt out of the carb every hour. Harsh country .

xeeded how cold affects someone is very personal and individual. My wife wears a dune jacket under her Artemis with 20 °C.
