ADB Magazine(Australasian Dirt Bike)Quote: “These days, it seems like every man and his dog wants to pack up his life, strap it to a bike and head off on a Long Way Down-style adventure. But what exactly do you need to stuff in your tuckerbag to survive the ride?” |
 |
Foxtel MagazineDriving ForceQuote: “Our intent was to travel as much as we could along the ridge, so we tried to stick as close to The Great Divide as possible,” he says. The trip took 40 days and 40 nights and Steve notched up a bottom-numbing 7000km on the bike! |
 |

 |
Oyster MagazineInstant Rock Star Change makersQuote: “As a society we are slowly peeling back the layers of our planet and one day we will have scraped all the beautiful places, races, cultures and faces off the surface of the earth. I grew fond of the idea of sharing these things with people who don’t have the time or opportunity to explore them with their own eyes.” |
 |
ADB Magazine (Australasian Dirt Bike)Going the Distance – XR400SMQuote: “But, even with the magazine’s long history of bike makeovers, I think I’m safe in saying that this Honda XR400 is the first project that features a didgeridoo holder as a modification.” |
|
ADB Magazine (Australasian Dirt Bike)Global Roamer – Showdown at QuinalowQuote: “Somehow, this bloke has managed to go on a kick-arse adventure and get paid for it. Fair enough really. They’d have to pay me to ride a bloody XR, too.” |
 |
UWS Gradlife Magazine (University of Western Sydney)MBA turns dream into realityQuote: “The MBA helped me to shape and craft my own dream to believe in it, and to effectively sell it to the world” |
 |
Frankie MagazineThe Wonder YearsQuote: “I was on a tiny budget so I spent a lot of my time in slums, and you’d be hanging out with drug dealers and prostitutes and all these interesting characters. I ate on the street with the locals, which is why I got so sick. I lived on one or two meals a day and tried rattlesnake, sloth, guinea pig, crocodile, moths, insects and ants along the way” |
 |
TBAM Magazine (Trailbike Adventure Magazine)HU are youQuote: “Towards the end of February I was turning 28. After many years of physical abuse I decided to experiment with life as a teetotalist. Puritan influences have shafted my hedonistic tendencies. So instead of getting plastered for my birthday I decided to tear off to where the horizons are unlimited … which I heard was somewhere in Victoria.” |
 |

 |

TBAM Magazine (Trailbike Adventure Magazine)Tough it out– the hardest rideQuote: “Nobody forgets a really hard ride, but what rates as “hard” for some riders might pass unnoticed for others. TBAM asked a few proven finishers for their toughest rides ever.” |
|
TBAM Magazine (Trailbike Adventure Magazine)Hardcore adventure kitQuote: “When there’s no support vehicle and you’re doing serious travelling, every ounce counts. If you can leave something at home, do it. Each piece of gear should have a secondary function if you can find one – but never shirk on performance or strength” |

|
ADB Magazine(Australasian Dirt Bike)Trojan Workhorse – Building the ultimate round-the-world off-road machineQuote: For six months, I called upon the collective brains of the guys who’ve shaped off-road racing in Australia, gathering opinions on the perfect mods, with the intent of turning the XR into an indestructible weapon. Glenn Hoffmann (Team GHR Honda), Nick Dole (Teknik Motorsport) and Geoff Ballard (Ballard’s Offroad) all threw their hats in the ring. |
 |
TBAM Magazine (Trailbike Adventure Magazine)Lost On… Adventure – Enter the AmazonQuote: “People have sailed, paddled and puttered down The Amazon, but I dragged my overladen 260kg adventure bike on and off countless boats, through malaria-infested villages, leper colonies, drug-smuggling boat wars and random religious camps from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean. All that came later, first I had to get ready and get on the boat…” |
 |
TBAM Magazine (Trailbike Adventure Magazine)Lost On… Adventures – Introducing Steve CrombieQuote: “Guardia, dysentery and various parasites called my insides home. I starved and dehydrated my way to near death in Argentina, relocated my index finger in a Chilean forest, almost smashed into the side of a puma in Guyana, and chipped my neck in Nicaragua. I got so sick I couldn’t move or speak. Pus and blood oozed from the wrong places. But I made it. Just. And I wouldn’t change it for the world.” |

| Quote: “Steve Crombie is a man on a mission – to be become the youngest person ever to travel across the earth on a motorbike. All with just two paris of underpants!” |
| Honda – The Magazine – Lost On Earth – One not-so-easy Aussie Honda rider |
| Quote: ”Sorry mate,” said the voice from Sydney, “haven’t used the phone in years…”. Steve Crombie was trying to remember his own home number, and the task was proving difficult. No wonder: the 26-year-old hasn’t lived in one place for longer than a month since 2003, and Sydney hasn’t even been one of those. |
