Tough Rides

After being blessed by a local priest, Ryan Pyle sets off from the iconic Copa Cabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro on his BMW F800GS adventure motorcycle.

After exploring a church made entirely of Gold, Ryan practices some Brazilian martial arts and enjoys an ice-cold beverage in a celebration of Salvador's birthday as a city.

After a brief rest in the small village of Anapu, Ryan is refreshed and ready to continue to explore. Ryan makes it to the Amazon River and enjoys a two-day boat ride.

It is now time to test Ryan's resolve and put his survival skills to the test.

When Ryan successfully reaches the end of the BR-319, his vehicle breaks down yet again but more Brazilian hospitality comes to the rescue in the form of a local rancher.

All momentum comes to a grinding halt as Ryan suffers a flat tire, a vehicle breakdown, a massive traffic jam, and a disastrous conclusion.
