Awesome. Must go spend some time in Otago when the kids are older, never ridden the dirt there yet (the roads are good to start with).
Incredible what he can do with such a big bike.

A mate was arranging for a few of us to do some training with him a few years back but I think that's when I got hurt and never did. Seems like a super nice guy. Clearly deranged with handlebars in front of him

I did a training day with Birch last summer. Good guy, humble, ridiculously talented on a motorbike, and has the ability to teach others what he knows. Rare to find all those qualities in one dude.

Pretty cool video ... makes me want to visit NZ more than ever.

I just found this 2011 Road to Romania Chris Birch Interview, Watch from 1.30 to 2.30, very cool obstacles.
