There was actually a Tigit guide on an XR 150, but thankfully we sent him home before he got stuck out there. Not often do I have to send Tigit guides home!
Was shot in Lang Son :) You need to start with some lessons in Hanoi (check our site), then you can graduate to some trails in the North West, then you will need a KTM and then, you can finally do Lang Son.
@@Tigitmotorbikes haha thanks :) I should have been more specific: are there any sites where trail maps for LS are published online? I live in HN so pretty nearby. Is this video shot near Mẫu Sơn?
Hi ! Now, that you can only apply for a Vietnam e-visa online & they require you to specify Your port of entry: When I return to Vietnam with motorbike from Cambodia / Laos (land border), is it mandatory to return from the border that you indicated on the e-visa form ? Do they check it ? Or is it possible to return from any land border you want with the motorbike , as lons as you have the e-visa approved ?
I love riding bikes, but this is whole another experience / level that I would never want to get into hahaha. Trails are not my thing, give me asfalt with 1000 turns, Iam ok with it haha
In my humble opinion, offroad or trials is how to get better at motorbiking. All the Tigit guides are forced into Enduro riding. If they can run an offroad tour they can run any tour. You break yourself and your bikes at rapid rates, and therefore learn at a rapid rate! But yes, certainly as I get older, I wonder what I am doing out there sometimes!
@@Tigitmotorbikes yep u are right, respect the people that push themself to the limit. I never felt comfortable with super high seat bikes. Iam kinda short (1.69m) yes I know, its the rider not the bike. But I never have really the time to practice. So each time I only dare to ride on asfalt in Vietnam. Enduro is such a much higher level for me.
Yes and No. There are some insane trails in the South as well. South and North are different. The South is perhaps less technical, but the South requires more preparation in the form of water etc. The trails in the South are actually more remote, and have even less potential of being rescued. I did one in the South that went so wrong that I couldn't even film it. This one, I felt safe enough; we never actually went out of phone signal, and I always felt the destination was within walking distance. I have done scarier ones (in the South), but not on camera!
Skill levels didn't match the trail difficulty, obviously. Keeping your momentum is so important in mud/uphill. Also keeping your feet on the pegs is better.
I think the skill level perfectly matched the trail. We had a good team building exercise and all made it out alive. I think what a viewer can not see or understand is how slippery Vietnam's clay actually is. When I rode the Romanics trails in Romania, one of the biggest and noticeable differences between Vietnam and Romania was the traction of the surfaces. Vietnam is extremely hard and slippery!
