Ten riders. One crew. Stories written in dirt.
Unknown Enduro Project is a cinematic adventure series that pushes the limits of exploration, endurance, and human determination. In each expedition, a small team of riders ventures deep into remote wilderness to attempt something never done before: reaching the summit of a mountain that has never been conquered on a dirt bike.
Over two days, riders battle through brutal climbs, dense forests, jagged rock fields, exposed cliffs, and unforgiving terrain while documenting every moment. What unfolds is more than a ride—it is a test of teamwork, resilience, and the human drive to explore beyond the map.
Finding the Unknown
Where Are We Based?
Unknown Enduro Project is based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia — one of the most rugged and wild landscapes in North America. With dense forests, alpine peaks, and endless backcountry, it’s an incredible place for adventure and exploration, and the perfect home for the Unknown Moto Crew.
While Vancouver Island is where our story began, our expeditions take us far beyond it as we search for wild and interesting terrain to explore.
How Do We Find and Select Locations to Ride?
Every location featured in UEP episodes is the result of extensive scouting and research.
We spend countless hours studying maps, identifying potential mountains, researching land ownership, and reaching out to relevant stakeholders. Each location is carefully evaluated for environmental impact, access logistics, safety considerations, and suitability for filming and basecamp operations.
Only after extensive planning and on-the-ground scouting do we decide whether a mountain is suitable for an expedition.
Do We Share the Locations?
No.
Many of the places we explore are remote and wild, and keeping locations private helps keep them that way.
Our goal is to share the adventure and the story — not the coordinates.

FAQ
Can I join you as a guest rider in one of the episodes?
We get this question a lot — and we really appreciate the interest.
UEP is built around a tight-knit crew that relies on trust, experience, and having each other’s backs in challenging environments. Because of that, we keep the riding group small and consistent.
That said, we’d love to create opportunities for others to be involved in the future, and we’re exploring ways to do that while keeping the spirit of the project and safety at the core.

What bikes are you using?
Check the Crew page to see what we’re currently riding.
What gear do you rely on?
We rely on gear that we trust to perform in tough, unpredictable conditions.
That includes protective riding gear, tools and spares for keeping the bikes moving, navigation equipment, and essentials for operating safely in remote terrain.
Over time, we continue to refine what we bring based on experience — keeping things as light as possible while still being prepared for what the mountain throws at us.
How do you manage safety in such remote terrain?
Safety is always a priority.
We plan every expedition carefully — from route scouting and access, to communication and contingency planning. Out on the mountain, we ride as a crew and look out for each other at all times.
Experience, preparation, and teamwork are what allow us to operate in these environments.
What happens if something goes wrong out there?
In terrain like this, things don’t always go to plan — and we expect that.
We carry tools, spares, and the equipment needed to deal with mechanical issues, and we’re prepared to adapt if conditions change. As a crew, we work together to solve problems and make decisions based on the situation.
The goal is always to manage risk, stay safe, and get everyone back out.
How do you ensure you’re riding responsibly?
Respect for the places we ride is a big part of what we do. We are always learning and adapting.
We take the time to research land access, understand where we’re allowed to be, and consider the impact of our presence. Each location is carefully chosen and evaluated before we ever attempt a ride.
Our goal is to explore responsibly and leave these places as we found them.
