Good and very informative... Maybe to also advise for starter ..do it with a friend and beach with sand for a beginner ... the GS seems to be less heavier versus a GSA with all 3 boxes that could add weight and increase counter balance when needed....so start with a less weight for beginners too

I feel becoming competent in this move will end up teaching me quite a bit about bike control, balance, and confidence.

Very good instruction. I've wanted to learn to do this turn. You break it down into steps that gives me more confidence to try it. My Africa Twin Adventure Sports is DCT, so I'm a little more worried about losing control but I'll just work up to it slowly, in small steps. And maybe I can use the left-hand parking brake to help with control. Thanks! You've got a new subscriber!

Great video, unfortunately sometimes you can not use this technique (lack of space, roots, drop,...) any other technique to turn around?

@advmotoskillz

3 жыл бұрын

Many times, I have found myself in that situation. 😅 I would say, it’s important to be comfortable dismounting the bike from either side and then being able to walk around the bike supporting it with both hands so that you can be in a better situation to then try and walk the bike out. This could involve backing the bike straight out until a wider spot for U turn or using the friction zone to rock the bike up and down a slight edge to get momentum to be able to turn bike around.

Can you make an elephant turn on abs enabled bikes?

@advmotoskillz

3 жыл бұрын

ABS and Traction Control are both known as "rider aids". In the case of elephant turn, the most important aid to disengage is the traction control so there is full ability to spin rear tire. ABS is not a critical factor for this.

Do we use or not the front brake during the spin?

What do you think: is it a fatal mistake to use a little bit front brake while turning the elephant? Sometimes it seems more easier to slide the rear wheel with covered front brake. Someone says it could be dangerous in mountains or unstable coverage (dust, sand, gravel). What is your opinion?

@advmotoskillz

Жыл бұрын

I personally do not use the front brake on an elephant turn. With enough practice in the fundamentals, demonstrated throughout the elephant turn videos series, a rider can develop the proficiency and speed needed to complete it without the front brake. Now… hooliganism and doing donuts is where you want to use the front brake 😉

Para hacerlo sentado, el pie sobre el que pivotamos solo debe apoyar puntualmente peso solo para no caer y lo menos posible, porque la mayor parte del peso del cuerpo debe caer sobre la estribera del otro pie en cuanto la moto se ponga en movimiento, para que el cuerpo acompañe a la moto; sino, al apoyar nuestro peso en el pie de pivote, la moto se alejará de nosotros, tirará de nosotros y perderemos pie. En cuanto empiece a girar, hay que procurar cargar el peso en la estribera.
