Solo motorcycle adventure in GUATEMALAN jungle gone wrong |S6-E71| 

I’ll just put this here - yes, these tyres are not good, I know 😅 In case you missed it when I talk about this before: I cannot get better tires here in the size that I need (nor a little taller, wider etc tires). They are simply not available. Ordering from abroad takes a month or more so is not an option. Trust me, I have looked at ALL the option 😂 That’s just life on the road when you don’t have time to wait somewhere for weeks for tyres, you have to work with what you’ve got 🤷‍♀️ And no bad tire is holding me back from trying to see some amazing Mayan temples 🤪

Noraly: "Nothing will stop Alaska and me!" Jungle: "Challenge accepted!"

You are one of the bravest people on earth. Middle of the jungle with jaguars running around on a bike with horrible tires yet you keep going. Kudos to you!! Makes for great content! Love it!! Good luck on your journey!!

I HAVE to say this...i started following your journeys about 6-7 months ago, i have been watched 6 to 8 videos a day, every day, for all those months. You have got to be the toughest, strong minded and most resilient and perseverant person i have ever seen. Your will to move forward regardless of the odds and the obstacles ahead of you is AMAZING! I have seen the ups and downs...I've seen the breakdowns, crashes, border issues, weather problems, etc.. etc... and you handle them all with such a positive attitude. To top it all off....You are fearless! To ITCHY BOOTS, i say this.... You....Are......Inspiring!!!

I’ve been riding motocross and off road for over 40 years and I wouldn’t have attempted what you did on those tires. I was cheering you on the whole time. I bet my neighbors even heard me. The feeling you get when you accomplish something that seems almost impossible is only felt by those who never give up.

"It's the most stuck I have ever been" Doesn't turn back. Keeps forging ahead. A true adventurer.

This gave me nightmares, just thinking about being alone in the jungle! Hats off to you, the bravest woman I know!

The further in Noraly rode, the higher the sun got, I kept thinking "and she's got to ride out of there the same day!" I was on the edge of my chair ducking the brush and grunting along with her. Noraly's determination gave me a calm thought: even with the world in flames we should not give up hope; people like Noraly prove that we're built to overcome the odds, no matter how steep. Thank you for another bright encouraging moment.

There aren't very many riding adventure series that I watch every rut, rock, and washout mile after mile, season after season. Thanks for demonstrating your grit, resourcefulness, and continuing sense of awe.

When the going gets tough, Noraly keeps going!!! The jungle throws its worst at her, she throws it back and keeps on riding. What a legend!!

It takes a lot of courage to travel alone on such dangerous jungle roads. 👍

You are the bravest!! Bike stuck in the mud in the middle of the jungle alone!! I would’ve panicked already! 😂😂

Absolute mad respect! In awe of your perseverance, self-reliance & problem solving while also filming and keeping a positive mindset. Salute you Noraly! You are an adventurer and explorer of great grit & skills.

The frustration of being a pillion passenger with Norely is being unable to help her get Alaska out of the mud when she’s taken you into some bizarre swamp area. Great video, wouldn’t have missed it for anything.

This was intense. I am glad you didn't have to spend the night with the jaguar on the jungle floor. Good Lord what a journey.

Going through that jungle one way and all the struggles, knowing you got to do the same thing all over again on the way out! Mental and physical strength - you're a tough cookie!! 💪💪😊

God’s angels are working overtime to keep you and your adventure alive! 🙏🏼

I’m so impressed with your tenacious and fearless spirit, Noraly. As an armchair explorer, I’m grateful that you share your adventures in such detail. I found myself holding my breath watching your struggle to free Alaska from the clutches of the jungle mud. Thank you for demonstrating to the world that adventure awaits for those that are wanting to embrace it. 🙏❤️

You are the, “Indiana Jane” of backwoods adventures. Hope Netflix would make a travel Adventure as you go through unimaginable distances around every continent.

I keep thinking of bike breakdown, flat tyre before every normal ride, here the queen is riding in Guatemalan jungle full of wild animals and I no help around. I bow down to you queen.

No one is in a position to criticize the way you ride. You are the one there seeing things firsthand and experiencing the conditions. Your determination is inspiring.

Another cliffhanger! Will Noraly find the ruins? Will she escape the Jaguars? Will Alaska ever be clean again? Stay tuned for our next thrilling episode.

Increible scenery, stamina and perseverance....my hat to you..🎩🎩🎩🎩

Es increíble la valentía que tienes al adentrar por esos caminos llenos de baches y lodo, todo con el fin de llegar a lugares que muchos guatemaltecos no conocemos. Sentí que yo era el que iba manejando tu motocicleta, que emoción. Gracias por mostrarnos la realidad de nuestro país y los bellos lugares que tenemos en Guatemala.

That mud was a huge challenge... that you overcame! It's amazing how determined one can be when there is no other option. I knew you'd make it.

Sabes como Guatemalteco estoy orgulloso de ti, estas conociendo lugares que muchos no conocemos y no son documentados. Gracias por permitirnos viajar contigo.

What I hated was you had to go back the way you came. Things look different going back than the way you came. GREAT JOB !!!!!

I have a crfl 300 and had it stuck in deep mud. It’s heavy to maneuver. Took me an hour as I dropped it a few more times during the process. At the end I was completely covered in mud and exhausted. Noraly is an impressively strong young lady!

You are one of the most fearless and enthusiastic explorers I've ever followed. You are also a great teacher teaching your viewers unexplored geographical areas in Central America. I love watching you, Noraly. Stay safe and sound. By the by, get rid of those tires from Alaska as soon as possible. That recovery of Alaska from the mud pool was incredible.Last but not the least, that huge animal you noticed knew well that it’s Noraly, the go getter and that’s why it doesn’t wished to appear in front of you 😄

Noraly be safe.. take care. I appreciate your efforts to bring us this beautiful videos around the world... Huge fan.

after watching this episode, you are my wonder woman & superwoman! may you be blessed & safe in all your travels! i love you!

What's impressed me most, that you kept your high spirit even in difficult situations like driving through swamp areas..very tough girl ;-)

Incredible courage and stamina. In light of all the troubles that she encountered on the journey she still had the peace of mind and ability to give a meaningful commentary as she rode on.

HUGE respect! Not only your grit and ability to keep calm and fully functioning in these situations, but your skill …… and most importantly your willingness to keep filming and showing not only the good but also all your struggles. You are a legend.

I been following you for some years Noraly.... you may have had more difficult challenges, real or perceived, shown on film or not, but being stuck like that was the first time I had concern you might have hit the limit. Massive respect to you. I show my young daughters your videos and I know they are inspired.

Pior vídeo de trilha que vi em minha vida! Parabéns, Norali! Você é Top das galáxias! 🇧🇷

I blame the Mayan's myself, fancy building somewhere at the end of a long muddy track like that 😛 Although you didn't help yourself when you tempted fate at 08:55 with your challenge of "nothing will stop Alaska and Me". The jungle was bound to answer with "you asked for it". Great video.

You have 'true grit' Noraly. That was a tough ride for sure and looks like more to come. And then after that you edit the footage into a gripping video with the most fantastic and appropriate music to match. Thank you for another great watch... ❤️

Go girl, Go!!! You're amazing!!! My heart beats so fast when watching this video. Thank you inspiring me to pursue my goals despite the obstacles 💪🏽

I am from India.. Many ride Bikes and all But first time i am seeing such a Daring person.. Riding through this jungle is unbelievable😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Hat's off Miss 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😞i was scared when u got stucked due to ur tyres... But u came out then & there i was relaxed😎... Thanks for such videos🎥... And Thanks god saved you.... may god bless you

Please please be safe, route was really scary , and with unsuitable tyres Alaska performed well, & no words to describe your skill, courage Always praying for your safety

Noraly you are such a brave lady, And I am increasingly impressed with how you always have such a good mood and positive attitude to all the challenges you face, no matter how big or impossible they may seem. These muddy jungle roads remind me of my childhood in Paraguay and all the bad roads we come cross. I have now seen all your videos and am very impressed with how you always manage to meet the challenges in such a positive way.

watching this season multiple videos a day and if i’m convinced of one thing, it’s that there’s NOTHING Noraly cannot do. So immensly amazed by the braveness, determination and just overal positivity ❤ absolutely adore the way you do life!

Props on the great recovery out there! Goes to show all your experience you've gained on your journeys. You're smart and knowledgeable already as we all know. But the cleverness of switching your way of thinking into creativity with the front brake and the survival instinct being active and the trust and strength and also determination you have in yourself got you out of it as well. Glad you showed this as well in the video. An eyeopener for many people, for sure!

We are speechless with this episode. You are incredible and a very intrepid adventurer! We can hardly imagine you doing what you are doing. Unbelievable!

I would have turned around after a couple of those mudhole. Kudos to you for your tenacity and the armchair motorcyclists have to acknowledge how much you give to your adventures. Take care and keep the videos coming

Isto é que é determinação!👍👍👍👏👏👏

You are an amazing person & motorcyclist! Thank you for the adventure.

Unbelievable how determined and how tough you are! 9,999 out of 1000 would have turned back very early in that trip. I am totally amazed at your skill.

This was the most stressful ride I’ve watched you go through. You are one determined and resourceful woman!!! Your riding abilities are just amazing. I hope to see your get back safely through that swampy mess in the next episode!

Wow treacherous terrain! Big knobbies couldn’t pull you through! Your amazing! I’m very impressed with your wear a thon ! What an ordeal! You pulled it off!

Oh my. I’m at the edge of my seat all the way through this adventure. Keep safe. I’m a wreck just watching you ….don’t know how your feeling so safe and confident. You are a truly remarkable young lady. ❤

My mother-in-law, who was Dutch, often used an expression about a determined Dutchman. After watching this episode I understand what she meant. Love your channel. Take care. Be safe.

The patience it takes to put in the miles on rides like this. Constant mental geometry with the physical fatigue, you’ve got to ride trails in the jungle like this to fully appreciate what it takes mentally to not get frustrated and do something stupid. Tons of respect sister! Your mentality is that of a true survivor.

I'm just glad the camera did not show footage of ME in that predicament! I would be ashamed! Her presence of mind is astounding.

Noraly, yer a badass! You are "LIVIN THE DREAM"

Imagine Noraly and Charly both stuck on this muddy trail together. Noraly: Step aside, Charly, I got this!

That was an absolutely amazing ride in the middle of the jungle and a lesson in sheer determination, strength, problem solving and guts. Of course Itchy Boots does not give up and takes us on adventures to the remotest areas of earth. Stupendous, thank you!!!

I love how the police officer said be careful of the bumpy road

True Grit = Noraly. You are such a powerhouse! This episode was terrifying.😳

Wow, I said it before and I’ll say it again, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. You continue to amaze me with your strength, determination, and grace under stress. If I was ever in a survival situation, I would want you to be the team leader! Most people would have turned around after they got the bike back up, but not you. Power on!

I'm a nervous wreck and amazed at the same time watching this episode! Noraly you show us what we are capable of doing if we don't let our fears run our lives. Thank you!

Petje af voor de muddy save ! Nicely done even with the crappy tires !

A daylight Jaguar is extremely rare. Congratulations unbelievable!!

Great adventure! Yaxha, "casa verde" in maya languages means House of green-blue . And the colibrí is called tzunun with the mythical mission of giving messages from the "gods" such as the jaguar or Bolom ( for different regions the words may change a bit). The roads to ancient mayan towns are mostly to be respected in awe of their ceiba trees and vines. I believe that you and alaska made a marvellous work to traverse them. Congratulations It will be a long weekend waiting to see the next episode Gracias Noralita Yaxsit (ojos azules)

Incredible how you picked up your heavy bike and made your way through. You are so strong and brave riding through the jungle alone. Admire how driven and cheerful you can be no matter what struggles you face. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey. 🤗🥇🌟

I’m biting my nails off watching this😳Awesome ride!

Bad tires, thanks Noraly you’re awesome 🏍️👍🏻👊🏻😎

Solo into this type of terrain could put oneself into real danger. I did something similar in the desert and was really fortunate help came along. Lesson learned.

My gosh Noraly, that trail was treacherous. Just incredible. Watching you face and overcome these challenges is very instructive. So much grit. Your parents must be so proud of you.

I remember years ago roads just like this in the jungle in Peru. One time my Mom stopped the truck got out of the truck and went up ahead to cut a tree out of the road. Problem was it wasn't a small tree laying across the road it was a snake. Fun times in the jungle.

You the woman Noraly, YOU THE WOMAN!!

Hey Noraly , HUUUGE RESPECT for you .As a enduro rider I know that type of terrain, it's made for a full hard enduro bike . It's hard for a man to deal with that type of mud , but your energy and determination ... I'm speechless .

What a brutal ride. I’m amazed that you kept going. Especially knowing that you would have to return on the same route. If you got really stuck out there, with jaguars, etc., it could be life threatening. Those temples better be spectacular.

I admire your spirit of adventure, your confidence and most of all your enthusiasm and resilience. America and its people make a beautiful and colourful continent and you are showing it perfectly. 🙏🤞

I just love your determination and spirit! If something goes sideways you just get back on your feet and try again till you succeed. Amazing :)

The amount of perseverance and strength of character is shown by you in this video, makes me admire you even more. I can't imagine where you get your zeal from. Just amazing

I never imagined that minutes of watching a rider lift a motorcycle out of a swamp could be so enthralling. Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The spirit of adventure, is the essence of life which reduces all pain while one enters in that forbidden zone.

The amount of respect i have for you is indescribable. I love you and all your videos. In my own mind, i am going along with you on your adventure.

Noraly we owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude for all the work you do to bring us along on each expedition. Be safe and be blessed each day.

To ride that extremely difficult trail, alone and with no options to get help in case of trouble, took a lot of courage, strength, stamina, skill, and determination. I used to like you; now I’m coming to admire you 😀. Thanks for the great video. It left me drained and exhausted.

What a nightmare. After that first fallover I could not have continued. You are so strong Norally. Impressive endurance for sure.

I was holding my breath when you got stuck on mud. Almost to a point i wanted to enter my computer screen and come out on the other side to help!

Wow... I'm exhausted just watching you go through this muddy hell! I chuckled when you mentioned not caring about having to walk the the bike through some of those ruts. I can't imagine any armchair or real rider critisizing you for that. You do whatever you have to do to clear the obstacle. I've watched your riding skills and confidence improve over the years. You've got more guts than the vast majority of riders. As a rider who's now had 7 back surgeries, it was painful for me just to watch you drag Alaska from the mud and get it upright. I salute you Noraly. You are an exceptional traveler, rider, woman, and person. I look forward to many future videos and adventures. :)

You are incredible! My hubby and I eagerly await your posts every week and today my teenagers stopped to watch you triumph over the jungle. Such an incredible person. You make us feel like if you can do all that you do, we can handle the hard stuff too. Thanks again for taking us along. We’re cheering you on.

Respect from me in Scotland. Looks like your arms were getting it from the branches after you got bogged down. Bless you.

Another excellent episode. That's right, you don't need the jacket 🧥 all the time. Just ride on.

Riding through jungle roads in Central America at the beginning of or during rainy season is really hard as all unpaved roads turn into quagmires and swamps. Glad you got Alaska out of the mud trap!

Noraly, THIS explains a VERY common Dutch trait; "hardkoppigheid" When times get tough, we WILL find a way...

You are officially a "badass".....what awful mud, I would have been cursing to make a sailor blush....beautiful place to ride,terrible mud to get stuck in....safe travels!!!

Excelente tengo 71 años y no creo pueda viajar por esos lugares. Gracias por llevarnos. Cuídate mucho

Noraly I am always amazed at your perseverance. You always figure out a way to get where you want to go. I admire that a lot.

This reminds me of when I crashed on a dirt road and broke my shoulder! There was no one around to help me as I struggled for hours to lift my bike. Finally, another person on a motorcycle rides by and seeing my struggles just waves and keeps going. You feel so lonely at those times. But, you are so strong from all your adventures, overcoming adversity, wisely getting a bike not too heavy, and made it! Your tires are perfect because you have to ride a great deal on the road but go off road too! I am sorry you couldn't go to Belize because it's the only Central American country we've been to and it's so beautiful and spectacular. However, where you've been is spectacular as well. Excited to see where you travel through the U.S. and Canada! There are too many great places to choose from!

Thumbs up for u.. I have no sweet words I can say for the courage u have shown or showed in journey or tour.

I feel very sorry for you because of pulling out the motorcycle. the tires clog themselves nicely with mud. I used to pull out my 220 kg motorcycle. At the beginning, I laughed that he buried himself so nicely, I struggled for an hour to leave and told myself that I would never go to such a place again. my tires were better than yours, but the weight of the motorcycle.

As motorcycle enthusiast I immediately spotted that tires would cause some problems especially in trails since you bought it in El Salvador. Although, as you have said you don't have a choice. Anyway, just always keep one step ahead of any incident. Take Care, Ms. Schoemaker. I really like your content. I observe Guatemalan people were so good & helpful. I really know that people living in the those kind of area you go are more cool than those in the cities. 👊

Ive NEVER seen an adventurer as couragous as our Itchy Boots. The hero of ALL travellers!

amazing how she kept calm when she was stuck. i would have been shouting and swearing my head off.

Um dos caminhos mais terríveis que vi você e Alaska passarem, muitos poços de lama profunda.😰🇧🇷
