The Best Spectacle in Motorcycle Racing: Off-road Edition | HSLS S5E5 

Find what you need for your bike from Motul! rvz.la/3hTzXcl

Hey, Col. Sanders NY is me! Glad to see Zach will finally get his box of sweet sweet Motul swag. Also I have updated my rating to 5 stars as the podcast truly deserves. Keep being awesome guys!

I use rain mode whenever my wife jumps on the back of my BMW K1600GTL. The softened throttle response makes it a much smoother and more pleasant experience for her (shifting, accelerating, etc...). Happy wife = happy life!!!

Great to meet another member of the RevZilla bunch on the podcast. Brandon has a great radio voice as far as I'm concerned. Btw an idea that's been rolling around in my head for some time now -- how about having Keanu Reeves as a guest on the podcast? I know he's quite the Hollywood superstar and might be hard to get but he's an avid rider (heck, he even has his own custom motorcycle company) and despite his Hollywood status, he's such a down-to-earth kind of guy, he just might agree to doing this thing and I for sure would love to hear the three of you geek out about motorcycles for an hour and a half. :) Cheers from the Czech Republic. :)

I really want a history of Revzilla episode. I started watching after Spurge' s review of first generation Duke 390. And also pls bring Lemme back for an episode of HSLS.

You mentioned Paris to Dakar. A fascinating book on this is Against Gravity by Edward McCabe. Not sure how I came across this book, but am very glad I did. Basically it's about an advertising executive with a fashion-photographer fiancee who one day just says "Hey, this sounds pretty cool - wanna go do it?". Obviously had no idea what they were getting into, which makes it an even more captivating read.

I feel dumb. When the part with Brandon transitioned in I was like "MAN! His voice sounds SO familair! Where could I have possibly seen / heard this guy before??? Like a movie or something?" ...... It's from Revzilla gear reviews :| Voice like butter though.

Been enjoying all the videos the Revzilla guys have been releasing! Been riding for 17 years, yet there is always something new to learn and try. Started on a dirt bike then mostly street. Just recently started to combine the two with some ADV riding. Y’all keep the great videos rolling!

Yessssssssssssssss it’s time for HSLS!

It's always such a pleasure to watch each episode of HS-LS. 🤩

I can appreciate the hosts attempt at trying to remain open minded and neutral on the subject matter/how they truly feel about e-sports racing and sim games, but the contempt is so palpable, you can almost taste how boomed out these two are.

Want to know how to spectate an enduro? Work the secret check!!! I used to during high school for my uncles south jersey based enduro club!!!

Hi chaps, as a Brit I found this really helpful. I'm just starting to get into some off-road riding after 10 years of road riding. It's great to see the entertainment/spectator side of off road, especially an explanation of the different variants. But next time please add more European information (events, websites etc.), as you guys are appreciated globally!

Nice theme, can't wait for the on road part. Brandon has got a great voice and rapport with you.

Oh man. I cannot wait for the road racing version of this podcast!

Wow! That was a fun, incredible session with Brandon, Zack and Spurge, learning all about off-road racing. This connected so many dots for me with history, eye-witness stories and expert experience all mixed in.... My experience has been the Three Flags Classic and some Iron Butt. Will you cover those in future? Also, Is like your take on hill climbing competition. Thanks, as always, for a great time!

Do a history of Revzilla podcast, including with Anthony, for the 9th anniversary, please.

Always love the podcast. I really wish the video frames would be larger when 3 people are on. Divide in quadrants and put your HS/LS Motul logo Top/Left Frame. So much wasted screen real-estate!

I think Zack should post his best lap time on Laguna Seca, and give the first 5 people that can beat the time on Ride 4 with screen capture to prove it.

CTXP idea: Zack and Ari do an amateur trials event?

I doubt Esports appeals much to us old farts, but if it gets more people riding motorcycles, then I'm all for it.

Amazing ♥️👌

The motul spray wax works amazing on a gloss black harley.

Get your girl to ride too Simon! Will be better and more fun for your both in the long run!

As an admitted rally nerd, this episode has a certain special stage appeal.

Hard Enduro FTW!

Virginia City GP? Packing gear for a weekend at Zakar 😉🤩

HSLS podcast (and my wireless headphones) saved my Saturday night.... from yet another Disney kid movie!!! Best off road racing to watch (on TV)... has to be Rally Raid, and more specifically Dakar. Yes the name is now anachronistic, but the racing and scenery is top notch (from the original routes to South America and to Saudi Arabia). Slight correction, the top motorcycle class is fully supported by mechanics and crew. The class discussed is Malle Moto, which is unsupported. If anyone wants to see how that is check out Lyndon Poskitt Racing channel, Races to Places series. Lyndon rode around the world, from race to race, on the same bike (mostly). Second favorite to Rally Raid, has to be Hard Enduro. The riding skills and stamina of those riders are amazing! Not mentioned is Supermoto, on mixed tracks. Dirt and pavement in every lap!!! Like AFT also. Getting that traction threshold down is quite the skill!!! EDIT to add: Between Spurg, Zack, Ari, Lance, Jenn, Patrick and Brandon, Revzilla has quite a nice group of people working there (I know you are not all at the same locale).

It sounds like the whoops are too much of a deciding factor, such that the rest of the course is of little consequence by comparison. Which makes it feel like the person who wins a given race was just the person who was the best at the whoops on that day. I would say, based on you guys’ descriptions, that the difficulty of the whoops should be brought down to be more in line with the other obstacles in the course, unless the intent is to find the person who is the best at riding the whoops.

Hey guys, I'm a big fan of the show. I always catch up on the newest podcast at work. Quick question: what are some good resources for a guy in the Tuckesee (Kentucky Tennessee) are to maybe start going to and checking our off-road events?

Zach, have you been able to get your hands on a 22 honda CB500X yet? Would very much appreciate your opinion on it as a daily rider.

Can we get a video of a side by side comparison of Zack riding the same track/bike on Ride 4 and in real life.

as a supercross fan- i say cut the whoops down

What's the matter Colonel Sanders...CHICKEN? I think the video games are harder than riding in real life. Just for future reference "guys" used in the context of "Hey you guys" or similar is non-gender specific. I think changing a tire should a prerequisite for getting a license along with being able to show a basic understanding of how a your vehicle works. Brandon isn't wrong golf is fun to play but oh so boring to watch. Not into off road stuff but you guys made this fun just by doing your thing, cant wait for the on road edition! I did a demo day last June on a 1300cc bike. They had it set for eco mode which a few minutes in I turned off. After having the bike in regular mode for about a minute I put back into eco mode. Theses setting do really make a difference.

ALl this episode does is make me want to ride, but the snow is starting again. :(

Speedway is the best offroad motorsport PERIOD.

Royal Enfield was famous for trials bikes

What about MXGP and our Slovenian champion Tim Gajser 243 🙂😉🙂😁

What about our director friend of the commen tread video's, doesn't his brother race for KTM.

i saw that truely lol

i learn to win races in RIDE 3 watching real track tips , at the end it's a simulator

Loon Rider on you tube

Dood...get out on the golf track. A great place to waste money with your friends AND you can get your drink or smoke on. It's a fun way to spend a day.

Does anyone else get put off by the constant interruption from Spurge if anyone makes a comment that doesn't include both men and women? We get it, you are the most glorious white knight pal, my god.
