We got the chance to sit down with 2026 Finke runner-up Campbell Hall and ask him how he does it! As a privateer, he does a stellar job keeping up with the factory teams with bigger budgets. This is Campbell's story from the 2026 Finke Desert Race.

If a neck brace could save your life, why doesn't everyone wear one? Do they hinder movement and vision or just transfer a potential injury to another part of the body? ADB's Mitch Lees caught up with founder of Atlas Braces, Brady Sheren, to talk about neck braces and why they believe everyone should wear one. They talk about the myths and stories regarding neck brace injuries and provide data and analytics on how a neck brace can prevent a catastrophic injury.

We grabbed the 2026 Yamaha TT-R110 to see if it is the most versatile bike on the market. Can a 6, 8, 10, 12 and 40 year old ride the same bike! We put it to the test, here's what we thought.

We put a 6 year old and a 10 year old on the Surron Hyper Bee to see how it goes in the 50 cos and 65 class because this one bike can ride in two classes if you switch the wheels from 10/12-inch combo to 12/14 inch combo. Would the hyper Bee be too much bike for a kids int he 50 class or would it be too slow for a kid in the 65 class. We ask our 50 and 65 tester to find out.

ADB's Mitch Lees is joined by co-host Jeff Briggs and special guest Geoff Braico, who won the Vets class at Round 3/4 of the Australian Enduro Championship, to discuss everything that happened at Dungog on the weekend and all the things you probably didn't know.

We put the registered RFN Ares Endurance electric dirtbike to the test on a bunch of different terrains from commuting to trial riding and farm work. After nine months with this bike it is clear to us this bike is not a competition-spec dirtbike like the $20k job from Europe and Japan but a great trail bike, commuter and farm bike. Have a listen.

As a professional racer, the COVID pandemic killed plenty of promising careers. With racing in Australia essentially on hold for almost 3 years and no great opportunity to travel overseas and race, professional riders had ton make some hard decisions. There was the hotel isolation, the expensive flights, travel restrictions and more to deal with but through it all Andy Wilksch managed to line up a few different rides in the EnduroGP. It mean being away from his partner and support network for...

We caught up with desert specialist Callum Norton who has just signed with Ducati to race the 2026 Tatts Finke Desert Race! We talk to him about how he went from the #1 KTM team to a brand that has never done Finke, what he's had to do to setup the Ducati to survive Finke plus loads more about his time with KTM, how he transitioned to desert racing and the moment he could've been racing for Kove at Dakar. This is an absolute cracker.

The 2026 Sherco 300 SEF Factory is arguably one of the best mid-capacity four-strokes you can get but how does it stack up against other mid-capacity four-strokes like the 350s? It's won world titles and been successful in Australia against bigger bikes so why is this bike so good? Here's our thought on the 2026 Sherco 300 SEF Factory.

We grabbed a 2026 Husqvarna FE501 and stuck our smallest tester we could find, Wes Mills, on it to see what he thought of the big girl in the bush. Is it too much bike for single track? Only one way to find out, give it to Wes! Is it easier to ride in the bush, even for a smaller rider?

We got 4 x Australian Motocross champ Dean Ferris on the Podcast to talk about why he has come out of retirement to ride for Empire Kawasaki in the 2026 ProMX and we also got the chance to ask some fun questions like who was the most intense teammate he veered had and what was the best factory bike he's ever ridden! Among many other chats... this was a fun conversation and Deano has done so much in our sport we agreed to come back and break down his career into 3 serrate podcasts later this y...
