I wish videos like this existed 15 years ago when I went to the Sahara on a YamahaXT600 with zero off-road experience. The only advice I was able to find on the internet at the time was: when it gets rough, stand up. Honestly, it did help me, but I wish I knew these tricks as well. If anyone cares to check my video from that trip, (it's professionally produced), here it is: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k394rKSwY5a6YM4.html

Coming from many years on street, to dirt................can be a real trick. Going from mostly 100% traction to all kinds of levels of next to no traction, is disconcerting for most. Takes a while. Im glad I learned dirt on much smaller bikes, and learned as a youngster.

Check out Chris Birch 'say no to slow series'. Costs money but excellent watch.

I watched this video before going out riding in the Backcountry for the first time in my life. I did many of your exercises and it was SO MUCH FUN. Havent had this much fun on a motorcycle in years. Thank you for making it possible

Watched this video randomly, thinking "another click bait" and was I wrong!! This is a 10min masterclass that could easily develop into a half day class provided time allocated for practicing the exercises. Thank you for the great teaching and no-nonsense techniques. It looks so easy like this but definitely requires a lot of practice to get right and becoming a second skin. Immediately subscribed to your channel to see what else you have to share!

Love the concise explanations. 8:54 Technique on how to pop the front would be good to know too. Preload, little burst of throttle, and pop clutch or no clutch?

I love him and his videos but I was like: "how the hell do I pop it?!"

I am a newish rider and I found the "tipping the bike, not you" technique was a game changer ... in my urban riding in tight junction corners in the wet. Makes me feel instantly more in control and confident in the bike.

You're a really great teacher! I'm learning to offroad with my heavy 200kg Scrambler 1200 and just seeing you demonstrate the techniques really increased my confidence to go out and practice properly. I hope you'll post more tips like this in the future!

Great instruction. Super helpful step by step process. Been on my 790R for 2 years, off road a handful of times…and really excited to find some local dirt roads and begin practicing these things! Thanks so much for sharing!

This was amazing - more like these please! I was out yesterday for the first time this year (Norway, winter) and I rode over something and the rear bucked up like crazy and threw me around on the bike. Somehow I saved it 🥴

Good points, even for a rider of 50 years experience. I spent my first 10 years on a 200 pound dirt bike. I had great skills then, and transferred those skills into street bikes. Now I'm back to a 550 pound adventure bike re-learning those skills. I liked the part about turning up into the hill for turning around. I've had to modify my Super Tenere so that it was comfortable to stand up on the bike. It doesn't come that way. The one thing I regret is that it has the 19" front tire. But I've learned how to deal with it; stay out of deep sand. On the dirt roads, I have not had to turn off the ABS. As you say, I let my brain monitor the brakes. I've done some pretty hard stopping on gravel with the ABS on. It is indeed why I bought the bike, that and the traction control. I find them both a useful tool. I'm 68 now, and not as aggressive. But I enjoy the back roads which most of them are nothing more than trails.

Your description of body position during turns is spot on. I see a lot of other videos with different explanations, some of which are just flat out wrong. This is a simple explanation. I'd love to hear more from you about body position. Weighting/unweighting, forward/back, etc. I think one thing that is overlooked or misunderstood by many is the fact that you want to be forward/near the tank in most circumstances.

It’s cool to watch your very practical videos. I’m 65 and used to race IT 465’s and other bikes and completely enjoy your videos as condescending as they might be to the more experienced riders. I have been riding more that 50years road and dirt. What you demonstrate is spot on and when I watch and relate to my own skills I realise I do this kind of with out thinking. The old saying that you can’t buy experience or you can’t put an old head on young shoulders is absolutely true. I’m not as fast as I used to be but can still keep up with pretty much anyone. I wish you well and keep up the entertaining videos.

Great video Adam! I am going to get my wife to practice these drills to build her confidence on her dual sport. You do a good job of explaining the basics and are better than I am at articulating it to someone else. I grew up riding without formal instruction so everything just feels instinctual and its hard to explain that to someone else a lot of the time.

I really appreciate videos like this. Last year I picked up an 890R so I could get back in the dirt after 20 years of on road only riding. The tips and drills are great, but even more importantly, the confirmation that my instincts are correct is a real confidence booster. Thank you.

I always enjoy watching your videos Adam! What I appreciate most is that you alternate storytelling with more practical training like this one. Always nicely filmed. Cheers mate :)

Some pretty basic things I do all on my dirt bike without thinking. But on my adventure bike it feels like a different animal so I threw all my basics out the window. Really good to watch and listen to someone era talk and explain these. Thank you!

I'm a mountain biker, but this 10+ minutes instruction short film was exactly that many rider should practise! Very goog footage, keep posting, well done,very usefull!

I'm that guy your talking about in the video. 25+years road riding, street and track. Minimal offroad riding, picked up an Africa Twin last year and quickly realised that cornering in the dirt is not the same as riding on the road. This video was great. Would be good to see a series of these. Excellent stuff mate, keep em coming. Can't wait to see the War Horse here too.

This... this is excellent, I have been needing a video like this for a while now. I have a 2018 Street Scrambler 900, and while it's not the biggest bike to off-road...it's definitely bigger than the usual off-road bikes. This was one of the best how to vids I've seen. No BS, easy techniques anyone can practice on any bike, with a straight Forward down to earth teacher. Thank you

What a great instructional video for riders of any skill level. I've ridden off road my entire life and still learned about things I didn't even consciously realize I was doing. Thank you.

Watch this, and then watch it again. Adam Riemann has an enormous wealth of riding knowledge (The Aussie version of Brett Tkacs, but with KTM Factory Racing experience) and I hope this transforms into a series of ARienmann1 Masterclasses! Thanks for sharing mate!

My biggest question has been, how do you go into a turn and power slide if you will.. and I think you’ve given me the answer. The cone drill but getting comfortable with the rear tire slipping out but maintaining that weight over the bike. It would be cool seeing you take that lesson a step further in a future video and maybe touch on those power slides more. Thank you!

@MM SVB even if it became a fashion, it still teaches you controll over your power output and sliding the rear. So why are you bitching about it?

As a beginner to offroad riding I was having trouble with getting the rear to step out in corners, I get scared and mess it up, but after watching the drill with the cans, I know where to start now, Thanks Adam!

This is brilliant! He makes it so clear and simple. Of course, that doesn't make it easy, but at least easier to understand the fundamentals behind it. Just fantastic!

Thanks Adam. You are a really great instructor. Taking show and tell to the next level. Simply told. ❤❤❤

Man i wish i got these lessons years ago! They would've definitely fast tracked my progress! Keep the good content coming!

Outstanding and simply and clearly explained. Valuable lesson thank you.

Quite honestly one of the best, straight forward and helpful videos I have seen in quite a while. As a rider who started as young teen on dirt, then went road, then big adventure, I absolutely admit my dirt skills went to rubbish after years of tarmac only. Just as he mentioned-- those road skills you worked SO hard to learn will have your guts on a big bike riding a goat trail. Chapeau. I will add this-- there is more technique in this fellow than he is communicating in the video-- throttle response and body inputs are more advanced and instinctive than your average rider, and he does not mention much of that as he works through these exercises. AND he can flat foot that Tenere. Many riders cannot, diminishing their confidence.

I appreciate your advices Adam. I rode street and dirt bikes for many years, but I was wondering how things actually worked with such a heavy bike as an Adventure! Really cool to learn from a pro! Cheers from Québec!

Love your work Adam. Your videos are great. Very entertaining, informative & they make for compelling watching. Love your mannerisms & approach to everything motorcycling. I'm 63yo, heavily into bikes (one of my bikes is a T7) & I'm learning stuff from watching your videos. Great!! Cheers from a fellow 🇦🇺

This is the best video I’ve seen around. 10+ years into riding proper motorbikes, I recently switched to a GS and this video makes a lot of sense especially the part about body weight. Bravo!

This was brilliant! All of my riding knowledge is on tarmac. Had my Tenere 700 for almost a year and it’s been great. Been trying to use my mountain biking knowledge while riding certain terrains. Great video! Definitely going to practice. Thank you!

Fantastic video. You have put into words and video what comes natural to experienced riders and provides clear guidance to newer heavy bike riders!

Great advice. Thanks! I’m fairly new to off road adventure biking, but have been riding mountain bikes for over a decade, and find a lot of the bike handling principles I use riding downhill apply to ADV riding.

I get zoned in and mesmerized by your teaching style. Best I’ve seen.

I watched every video I could since I had the T7, never ever have I seen the simple "lock the front" exercice with the front brake. Awesome advice, thanks Man. Very useful.

these videos are a big help for a beginner rider like me! Thank you! Best wishes, TEKKY.

Great vid, great tips. I kind of knew all of this through instinct, and years of riding experience, but would find much of this very difficult to actually explain to somebody else.

Being a road rider, but plenty of motocross in younger years, this is still fantastic educational video. Quality work!

Just starting out in offroad with my Hero Xpulse 200.. this advice was priceless!

Great video, i'd love to see a whole series on this subject. I've been riding a sport bike only for over 10 years and i don't know anything about riding in dirt. I freak out as soon as i see a little patch of sand on a curved road so i always wandered what it's like to ride a dirt bike. Give us all the details ✌🙂

What a great video! I will definitely be trying the exercises (minus the hitting the 'twig' during a wheelie ;) ) Are you thinking of making more videos like these? If you are taking suggestions, I think in particular a riding position/hand-position,foot position, how to shift and brake video would complement incredibly well, as having a good stance and grip is vital (maybe even prerequisite) to doing these drills. Also perhaps a video on how to set up the bike for riding offroad (the height of shifter/brake pedal, adjustments to handle bar etc). Kind of like the foundation to build upon. Also of course more advanced stuff like, how to 'pop' the bike as you showed in the video, how to ride specific terrain (ex. deep sand with ruts), where exactly to look etc.

Thank you. Most of my experience is on the road/tarmac, so I'm exactly the target audience, mostly. I've also spent several years practicing and racing regularly on supermoto bikes (small for miniGP, and still all tarmac) and sportbike-like miniGP bikes (even one I designed and built). I got used to sliding the bike sideways on track. As a result, I've sort of learned some of this already anyway, but it's good to know I'm on the right track and even pickup some drills to help me get better for specifically offroad adventure riding, especially since I just bought a place that has 8 acres that's all wooded with trails. Thanks again!

Your enthusiasm is contagious 👍✌️🇨🇦

Mind blowing. Just starting with the ADV style riding - awesome tips! Thanks and take care!

What changed my off-road skills was to start riding trials bike. But all that Adam told us was pure gold, and simple to understand.

Excellent training video.. Thankyou so much

Thank you professor!

Coming from road an track riding I've gotta say these videos are transformative cant wait to get out and put them to use again :) thanks for taking the time to share the tips and tricks with us all in a no nonsense way superb

Best teacher.

This is awesome! I'm picking up a 1987 Tenere 600 next week after riding an old Yamaha XV 1100 for 7 years

Like your tips. Very practical & from the heart

Brilliant! Makes complete sense about keeping the bike in traction in turns by keeping the body position upright and leaning the bike. Thank you so much!

This is my kind of instructor. Straight to the point no BS just pure knowledge. You simplify very complex riding techniques. I love it! Give us more!

My Africa Twin will be put to very good use this coming summer. I cant wait! I stumbled to this guy.Cheers Adam!

Good tips, I have been riding my 690 in off road and single track for years now and I am still up for drills and practice that will make me a better rider.

I rode street bikes as a kid; even a bit of road racing. Now, in my 50s, I decided to try ADV and very mild enduro. Any of the road good skills or bad habits, however learned so long ago, have proven hard to forget and replace with dirt skills. But that's partly why I decided to ride ADV; to learn something new. The few videos I've watched of yours, Adam will help me learning new skills. Thanks👍

Great video. Older guy that hasn't ridden for decade or so and recently got an XR650L. Getting my riding legs back and your videos are great.

Awesome video - great advice! I recently downsized from my T7 to a CRF450 - your recent videos make me miss the T7!

The way you explain things, your accent, you're talking slowly, makes it really easy for me who speaks French (Canadian). Thanks you!

All makes sense. I'm a road rider that's tempted to do the tenere experience in Wales & this video has made me want to do it more. Thanks fella

Your presentation was by far the best I have seen in years. Thanks for the valuable info and for your excellent delivery.

SO needed to see this... over 25yrs on tarmac n gravel just not getting into the dirt

Thanks Adam, I’ve learned more in the last two years from you than the last 20 years of trying* to figure it all out for myself.

This might be the one of the best adventure bike primers I've seen in my life. Could add another episode about steering with the weight on the pegs and straight handlebars, weight distribution going down/up, how to protect your lower legs, picking lines etc.

Great advice. I grew up and rode 250-500cc dirt bikes well into my late teens. Since then, I've ridden street bikes. Now, I'm in my early 50s and purchased a triumph rally pro. I feel like a novice rider all over again, relearning how to steer with the back tire and my weight on the pegs.

this is one of the best informational videos I've watched on offroad motorcycling and I've watched a lot

Thank you, excellent points

Fantastic advice, thanks so much for sharing.

Man thanks for this brother, getting my first tenere this year and a novice rider!!! Knowing is everything thanks

Great video! I can't wait to upgrade to an adventure bike next year and put it into practice 😍

I can now take on my paved roads in West Virginia with more confidence now! Thank you!

I ride for 35 year, don't have much experience in dirt ADV, but am interested. This tutorial is excellent! Thank you and keep going please!!

Great advice - I'm a road rider who's about to swap a large capacity road bike for an adventure bike. You do a great job of explaining in simple language how to attack the dirt. Mind you, some of the skills here can be applied to riding on the road as well - I'm amazed at the number of riders who, for example, don't understand that if they can't avoid that big pothole in front of them, they need to unload the front just prior to hitting it. Had that conversation multiple times with people on some very expensive road bikes. Keep up the good work - you're helping many riders both stay out of trouble, and just enjoy off-road.

Great stuff. Thank you.

Excellent tips and great video. Thanks!

This was an awesome video. I've been riding for over 20 years at this point, starting on a dirt bike and then street bikes after. I've gotten my first ADV bike last year and I'm finding a lot of the things I've learned over the years simply don't apply off-road and it's been fun to learn new things. I'd like to add that I was never scared of dropping my bike because it was heavy or because I could get hurt (I should've been) I was worried I'd damage the bike or even just scratch it. I was used to nice shiny bikes that never see dirt or mud. The first time I took my brand new 2022 Africa Twin off-road, it'd been 15 years since I'd been off-road let alone on anything that big, I dropped it at least four times and it was covered in clay and mud. It took me hours to clean it but I learned that this bike was going be different for me, it was going to get muddy, scratched and dropped as I was learing and having fun off-road. I also learned to never take it off-road again without proper protection, both for the bike's sinsitive parts and mine. Hope to see much more from you.

Great video. Thank you. Please don’t let this one be your last. You have such great skill and a wealth of experience ,and you really know how to teach, communicate and share it.

I can not overestimate how well made this is. Perfection of a tutorial vídeo.

Brilliant video brother! I’ve just bought a new GS Rallye TE, it seems much heavier than my old Africa Twin. I’m going to practice your drills tomorrow.

a very valuable lesson, thank you. That power turn and tail spin recalled a scene when I was a kid, I almost got hit by a military motorcycle, the driver did the exactly the same tail spin and escaped a potential nasty accident. I was so impressed and always like the two wheelers over a car.

Blooming brilliant, really helpful, love your videos, learned a lot

That was the first explanation and drill that has ever clicked for me. Thank you for this video. I rode street for years and now have a R1200GS. Going to go find a place to practice this.

Thx a lot for this „How To“ ❤

Great video, I'm sure that instincts I learned from riding a downhill mountain bike on West Australian pea gravel saved my life many times riding a sport bike on the road.

I'm so impressed by the tips and techniques that you teach. I mean you teach to have control on oneself by learning the true nature of the bike and at accordingly than relying on the bike electronics. So practical. Love from India.

Wow absolutely amazing content. Seriously great drills to work on. And I love the energy and chill nature of the way you teach. I’m glad I got randomly fed this video!

Thanks so much! Teaching my kids endurance, as beginners these videos are priceless.

I'm in my mid 40's and got back into bikes a few yrs ago. About a year ago I decided to start honing the skills as I've always been a rather average rider skills wise. All my rides are solo which gives me the freedom to practise new skills as I ride without disrupting others. It's been worthwhile. I'm no racer, but it's nice to have the confidence and skillset to deal with sketchy situations or just simply for fun. Adam's videos (including those since this video was published) have really helped the learning process. For me it's alot of practice and creating the muscle memory needed for actions to become more 2nd nature than a deliberate thought process. Anyway, cheers Adam 👍

thanks. easy to understand your demonstrations. i will try.

Great aVideo and Great Tips. I just need to practice practice practice now, and get it not only to where it’s Muscle Memory. But also a Habit. Thanks for making these Videos. I’m 62 now and have Ridden Bikes my whole Life. Back when I was learning, there weren’t any Instructors or Schools. So I’m still learning new Tricks all the Time. I think one thing really important, is never stop trying to learn everything you can. Once your think your Great at Riding. Something will come up you aren’t really ready for.👍👍

Been riding for years, best advise ever, much appreciated.

Great instructional film- shared it with my friends who are at the start of their off road journey. People often mock exercises but I love them.
