I bet you guys had a blast - Jocelin is so awesome - even more so as a person....her spirit is rivaled by no one...glad you guys had fun!!!!
Awesome instruction. Y'all did well. It's not like those bikes are dirt bikes, they're adv bikes. Well done to both of you. Enjoy and safe travels.

Thank you Troy!
Amanda, you are not alone when it comes to the mental stuff. It happens to me so much, when I’m in a group ride and feel like I should be doing better, I can get pretty down on myself. You are a champ, and I think it’s so awesome you are open about the challenges you face on your channel, because I can totally relate! ❤❤❤
Food = I will be there. ( honestly, I'm surprised that Ride to Food's channel name wasn't taken before she started, because I'm all about food when I'm going on rides). I loved watching this! You guys were having so much fun and it looks like such a positive experience. I like Jocelin's description towards the end after taking y'all out to her friend's property and seeing you following along behind with the confidence and skills you'd worked on. I was just imagining a very proud mother duck with her little ducklings trailing along behind on their first foray into open water. My wife and I have been considering getting into some more off-road type adventures, and taking a class with her seems like it'd be a great way to find out if that's something we really want to invest time and money into before we buy a pair of dirt bikes or trade our current sport tourers (though the CB500X could just be modified) for more adventure-oriented bikes. Thanks for another fantastic, well-told adventure. It's definitely inspiring me to get out and do the thing.
Looks like you guys had lots of fun. You've just inspired me to go do my parking lot exercises; figure 8s, circles, u turns, straight lines as slow as possible, etc that I haven't done in a few months.

Yay!! 👏👏👏
Ms Snow is a legend. Great video Amanda.
So when this video started, I was watching it on my TV in my office and my wife comes in to ask me a question. With this on, she instantly got engulfed in your experience of this challenge and ended up watching the rest of the video with me. Thank you for the show and she wanted to let you know how she enjoyed your video. Until next time, have fun and be safe.

Thanks Bruce!
Jocelin you are a great teacher and rider. So many guys are no where near as good as you.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time, you and Doddle did awesome. Thanks Amanda and hope you have an amazing summer
This video was amazing. I was seriously almost in tears when Jocelin was saying she believes in you after you had your wobble with anxiety - I relate to that so much. Seeing you recollect yourself and snap out of that headspace to carry on is so inspirational. The fact you wanted to try the blindfold challenge again shows haow brave you are too. And doing this on a DCT seems like it would be way more difficult. Looks like it was an amazing experience for you
Amazing to see three average sized women handling three different large ADV bikes. And one without a clutch! Well done and inspirational to women and men alike.
I respect you a lot for doing this. It takes a lot of courage do be vulnerable with skills and learn in front of an audience. On top of that, you're with somebody who has done a good amount of these exercises before, even though I can tell Doodle is also very supportive and is just generally a great person. Whenever y'all make videos like this it always inspires me to go out and practice too.
Amanda!!!! I’m SO IMPRESSED!!! You were so amazing. I know you were scared with that blindfolded exercise but you did it! Thanks for sharing it. All of it… being transparent about the panic attack with the teeter totter (I totally would have freaked out too!). Love Jocelin such an awesome encouraging coach! “Food = I will be there”
The worst thing about watching your videos is you make me wanna try things I am not sure I sure be doing. That looked like so much fun and I love the raw honesty of struggles.
Amanda you killed it! Fantastic. So much of this riding is a mind game and I hope you realize and appreciate how well you took to the instruction. Could see your confidence in your positioning. You nailed the blind exercises. Great video, Jocelin rocks!

Such a great video and course. Thanks!
I so loved this!
Fantastic production Amanda, was fun to watch this. I listened to Jocelin Snow's sort of life story when she was interviewed on Adventure Rider Radio podcast years ago. Such a firecracker of determination.
Well Done - Such a great experience !
That was fun to watch. 👍🏼
Thanks for bringing us along.
what an amazing course!!
what a fantastic course
Great job ladies and fun!!!! 😊
That was awesome!!! You guys did awesome
Great job ladies
Way to go! That looks very challenging and fun!
The instructor seems like a solid rider. I still struggle with my bike and I’m a much taller rider than her. She has a brutal level of confidence and knowledge.

All of you ladies are amazing, and Jocelin is a Legend!!! So cool!
Great vid Amanda! Kool to see the experts and learn from them. Keep up the great work! 😊
Jocelin is a treat. That is so awesome that you got to train with her.
Fantastic video, Amanda! Thank you for shooting, composing, and sharing it! Training = better riders, safer riders, HAPPIER riders! 😀
This is a great video and helpful to see how one's headspace is important to riding well. Thanks for showing that dimension as it's what I have to contend with whenever I'm working through a skills class.
3 talented ladies.. Nice vlog.. Thank you
It was great watching both of you having fun on your bikes. I was smiling the whole video. I can't wait for your next video.
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen!
Love the ‘Jedi’ exercise with the blackout goggles. That training looked really fun.
That looks like a blast.
Excellant Amanda!
Good student’s came from having a great and passionate teacher. 👏
Great to see this with the DTC version. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I have watched many of your videos but this was one of the best shows you have ever done!! Well done on the course. Great video. Thanks. !!
Great job! That looked like a good time, while having your skills challenged.
Looks like a great course.

@5:30 towing… awesome, first time seeing this. Thank you.
I'd love to go to that training, she's right about having a positive thoughts
That was a lot of fun and well done performance by both. Love Jocelin Snow and her teaching/instruction method. Keep up the good work.
Thank you SO much for admitting that things can still be hard for you as an experienced rider (in reference to the teeter totter). I'm a new rider (about 1 year) and I'm having so much fun but I feel like I should be able to do things that I really know I'm not ready for. I've ridden in Moab, Utah around and in Canyonlands NP and the some of the off road trails north of Arches NP. The sand is extremely difficult for me, as well as the trails with an extreme drop off to the side. Your comment about your brain shutting down is exactly what I feel sometimes. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel just a little bit better about the "brain shut down!!!".
Great video! Doodle might want to try trials...
You know this is going to be a very hot topic for your next live stream.😊 Very enjoyable to see the both of you improving your skills.
Love Jocelin, she is the best. So enthusiastic and helpful. You can't go wrong spending any time with her.
Looks like tremendous fun. This is getting added to my bucket list. "Food = I will be there"
Great work, both of you! Makes me want to go out to that class and also restore my coach's certification!
What an awesome experience! Nicely done with those challenging exercises, especially the blackout goggles!
have watched doodles version and now yours, the two of you are such a delight!
wow, what a great video! like obviously the training was awesome to see, but i really loved the videography and story telling in this video! i loved seeing the challenges and wins. thanks for sharing it with us!

Well hello, Epic Motorcycle Adventures! If it wasn't for Doodle and Jocelyn's videos, I would never have had the nerve to start learning to ride. 😊
Food - I WILL be there. That looked like a fun course and experience overall. Jocelin is great at reading her students I think. Congrats on your graduation guys!
Great job Amanda! Jocelin is so energetic and awesome! Thanks for Sharing! 👍🏻🍻🇺🇸❤
Excellent instruction in so many ways and with humor to break the tension. What an impressive array of obstacles in a relatively small acreage. Taking notes here.
What a great video, the challenges you mastered in this course were very intimidating but Jocylen was an amazing tutor, so supportive. It was a real pleasure watching you and Doddle mastering these heavy bikes on the challenging course....congratulations....
Food-I will be there! That looks like a good training.
Awesome to hear her reference a twist of the wrist. It's one of the first riding books I ever read. And how special to get coaching from such an accomplished rider! Oh yeah and food=I will be there
Jocelyn is such a bad ass! Absolutely love her! Wish i could take her class and ride through that amazing land
That looked like so much fun. And that course is a great space. Thanks for sharing. Training like this creates a more confident and, most important, safer rider. So many skills, so little time.
Wow looks like it was a great time and learned some new things!! What a great adv skills class with Jocelin Snow and Doodle on Motorcycle too. Glad y’all had a good time!! Cheers to y’all and have a one!!! Pizza = I will be there!
I’ve been riding since 2007 and I still have ZERO confidence. Confidence is the most crucial thing to riding. If you don’t have it, self doubt and anxiety can creep in. You guys did AWESOME and I’d love to be able to get formal training. Food = I’ll be there!
Ladies you are a real inspiration. I love all the videos with you. Every time I watch your videos, I learn a lot. Not only about riding. Also about personality. Thanks for sharing all this with us. Regards from Germany
Aw this was such a great video you guys!! Amanda I can so relate to that feeling after multiple fails! It’s so tough once your mind starts to go a little south. I’m so happy you guys included sharing about the mental experience. So well done both of you, I feel so proud of you guys! Also, I love the “End Screen Crew!” Such a great idea! Food = I’ll be there!
