FILM
DROWNING a motorcycle is EASY in MADAGASCAR [S7-E96]
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This episode of Itchy Boots’ Season 7 journey, Return to Africa, follows a ride towards Kirindy forest in Madagascar. The central challenge is travelling in the rainy season, when water deep enough to reach waist height makes each crossing an uncertain decision.
About this film
Riding a rented KTM 350, the traveller sets out for Kirindy forest with local guide Didier. The film’s story is shaped by the difficulty of making progress through water when its depth is apparent but the ground beneath it is not. That uncertainty turns a journey to a specific destination into a sequence of calculated risks: a crossing may be possible, but there is no clear view of what lies under the surface. The episode belongs to the broader Season 7 series, titled Return to Africa, and is presented as part of an ongoing motorcycle journey rather than as a standalone riding review.
The journey
The stated destination is Kirindy forest, in Madagascar, and the available description places the ride in the rainy season. It identifies high water as the defining riding condition, with levels reaching roughly waist height and a hidden bottom making each passage difficult to judge. The account does not specify the route taken, the number of crossings, or how the ride concludes, so the film’s appeal is in the challenge of attempting the journey under those conditions rather than in a promised outcome. Viewers can expect the episode to focus on practical uncertainty and forward movement towards the forest, with the water itself presenting the main obstacle described.
People, places and moments
Didier, identified as a local guide, accompanies the rider. The description does not provide further details about his role or the places passed along the way, but his presence places the ride in a local context rather than presenting it simply as a solo crossing. Kirindy forest is the destination named, while the rainy-season water is the episode’s central environmental detail. The rented KTM 350 is the motorcycle used for this leg. Together, these specifics give a clear sense of the film’s focus: a motorcycle journey in Madagascar where unseen terrain beneath high water complicates the approach to the destination.
What to expect
- A motorcycle ride towards Kirindy forest in Madagascar.
- Rainy-season water described as waist high, with the bottom out of sight.
- A rented KTM 350 and local guide Didier accompany the journey.
