Your stuff is so much easier to absorb, primarily because I feel like I’m getting tips from a more experienced riding buddy, rather than a teacher lecturing an invisible classroom. Plus, the helmet cam real time instruction has an authenticity that really comes through. Even though I know a lot of what you show us, you create a memorable narrative in normal human language that resonates with my “in the saddle” experience. Keep it coming.

yeah but do get the front wheel up in third? I still dont ... :))

I have a friend that bought an Africa Twin and wanted to join us on our offroad rides. I made him watch all your videos as homework before his first ride out! 😂

So I've been watching this video, and practicing weightlessness. The other day I was out on the trail and ran across a chicken. All of the sudden...there it was. And because I was weightless, I didn't even feel the impact. I don't think the same could be said for the chicken. A glance in the rear-view showed nothing but feathers. I turned around and went back... So not only are you helping me learn to ride my new bike, you're helping me feed my family too. Thats awesome. Thanks man.

the best description I can think of is you're trying to use your arms and legs as suspension to keep your body at the same ride height while the bike bounces around under you. If you're tight on the bike it's suspension has to work for itself and you, if you use your limbs and look ahead not only can you do the work for your own weight, but you can anticipate bumps the bike suspension can't and help it out with your own weight.

Alpinestars pajama range is awesome

I switched from Hayabusa to T7 World Raid. I tryed it one week ago and I absolutely wanted one instead of my big Busa. I'll peak up my new T7 this week. Mean while all your videos are pure gold. Thank you for your work and continue ! :)

I have been riding for over 50 years and I still find a gem or two in every one of your videos. Keep them coming. I made the switch from a 1090 to the T7 6 months ago and absolutely love it.

I too have been riding since 1979. I find myself learning from these vids. I just returned from Big Bend National park pushing my T7 to my limits. It was fantastic!

Your tips have actually saved me !!! I was going for a short ride by myself , going slow just enjoying the ride and then i got to a section that is open and i really like it, so here i am going 3rd gear pinned on a ktm 250sx and as i come around a corner i see a big rock right where i was going, i had no time to change direction due to the speed i was going so i did what you said, i washed off as much speed as i could and then popped the front wheel, i got a little sideways mid air but i went back home in one piece !!! So thank you Adam for your awesome videos !!!!!

Sounds like it's become instinctive for you now. Safe riding mate

Your instruction combined with your desire to share and help feels so genuine that it goes straight in. More than clickable KZread content, I feel you are building a legacy showing us proficiently how and why to enjoy motorcycling. Good on you Adam and thank you!

This are the best and easiest to learn videos for off road riding you can find in all the KZread universe, thanks for sharing and keep them coming 💪

Wow! Man I love your series about off-road techniques! These videos are so lean and concise! Your experience is valuable thanks for sharing 🏍🏔🙏

This is so spot on. Flowing (floating) with the bike versus fighting it. I had to learn it the hard way. Wish I would have watched this a few years ago. Thank You! Cheers!

Another great vid. You’re managing to come up w/valuable training content no one else has. Sort have figured this out myself, but this explains the optimal body position/movements.

It always surprises me how much I can still learn. I always thought this was just a natural way to ride, instinctive and intuitive, but you've still given me a little more insight. I started riding at 14 with the only lesson from my dad was how to use the clutch, and never had any formal training until I was 30 and decided to try the intermediate MSF course. Even learning about countersteering I was like "duh, doesn't everyone know this?" Now I like watching training videos like this to see how others are learning and what else I can improve on!

i learned most of these things messing around on bicycles as a kid, on a bmx (or a dirt jumper) the only suspension you have on most (more modern DJs have front suspension, but they're generally really hard and set up to take the edge off of massive jumps) are your arms and legs so unless you're using them as that you will have a bad time. Same goes with countersteering because who didn't like doing skids on their bicycle. When taking a few old tomos bikes on a 160 km round trip that had a rough fire road section a few weeks ago my uncle (who was leading and also grew up in that area riding the same bikes there) and I didn''t struggle at all (if you don't count the rocks chucked at my helmet and legs because i was following too close) while my dad (who didn't mess around on a bicycle as a kid) was really struggling. And that was when i only had about an hour of experience of riding a bike with a clutch and gears (i have a scooter at home that i sometimes ride through the local trails, but that's a whole different beast and a completely different terrain and the road tires don't really help with the mud plus the worn out springs don't support my weight through bumps at any speed).

Just got my first adventurebike. Have been riding for years but mainly custombikes and on boring tarmac. Now just getting into offroading and these videos are just what i need yo get better and as you say, safer driver. So easy to follow your instructions and how well you go through how i should start training that and then you go through more advanced stuff, so i have a goal to aim at. Awesome videos. Keep'em coming! 😊

Pretty good however IMHO, Preloading suspension front and rear before hitting and object (log etc) makes it easier yet for bike and rider. The timing has to be muscle memory and practiced untill it is! Thxz

Years ago (many) when I was, a long distance runner I found it important to run without my eyes moving up and down. This was pure efficiency. Your comments about the helmet staying still turned on a light. Thanks

I really appreciate your instructional videos! I rode a KTM 350 and 250 2 stroke (what a hooligan!) yesterday and was able to really practice this on these lighter bikes.

Thank you for making these videos. I'm still a novice rider after buying my first bike in my early 40's. Today I went off road and tried to put into practice your riding advice. By the end of the ride, I felt a lot more in tune with my bike!

That "let the bike come to you" thing also works with mountain bicycles. Thanks to you I have a name for the technique. As always, excellent presentation!

Another great tutorial Adam. All seems obvious to me but I grew up riding dirt bikes on a farm and soon learned that if you don’t lift your weight off you get thrown off. Mountain bike riding also great for honing this technique. Even more noticeable when your body makes up 90% of the combined weight.

All useful information and it made me chuckle to myself. Your log hopping technique is exactly how I negotiate speed humps (sleeping policemen) on the road on my 2016 A/Twin which is set up for riding on road and I am a total novice off-road Cheers Barry. Uk.

Means that, absorbing the hit is relaxing the rider's active muscles under control at the time. Adam your tutorials are so precious. Thnks so much.

Excellent stuff Adam, I´m truly impressed with the whole package, content, sound & image quality! Keep it up!

You are a great teacher! Thank you for your videos!

Such great instruction and somehow also very entertaining to watch. Nice production quality too.

You are a very good teacher and have a nice way about you in how you communicate. Good job!!

Great video again! As a new rider I learn so much from your stuff. I hope to learn to ride with the correct technique.

Love your videos, thanks for sharing with us!! You ride that horse like if it was a bicycle, lol! I’m trying to get more confident riding my T7 and your content it’s the way to go. Greetings from Argentina!

Another great video....learning alot from your videos. I've not been off road yet...but definitely taking on board the skills your sharing ..thank you. 👍👍👍

I love seeing this guy (a kid in heart) enjoying & teaching us how to be safe and ride better ♥. Thank you! I really wish the inflation wasn't so high here so i could get one go on rides. Hopefully, soon! 🤞

Tanks for the encouragement mate. Wish I still had my 2010 GS. Took it off road a bunch of times, but it was just to big. Till next time. Cheers mate.

You are the best teacher! It was informative and visual! Thnx!

Just love your teachings..thanks again..

Awesome content! Calm, on the point. A win for every adventure bike rider. Thank you and best regards literally from the other side of the world.

What a gorgeous bike thanks for the info I will definetly try to practice this

Love your videos. Always looking forward to them. Thank you!

Awesome videos....so many mountain bike techniques that can be transferred to off road motorcycle riding....so well explained...

Great channel, great information. It's hard to find a good channel for bigger off road bikes 🙏 love your advice

Thank you! Good skills!

Great tutorial, one always thought of it as turning your body into suspension. The “watch my helmet” was a fantastic way to explain it. 👌🏻👍🏻💪💪😊

Your videos are so awesome. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge.

Love these videos. Thanks for the great info. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Again, amazing video. Thank you so much!

Very good advice including real time examples. Invaluable.

Super informative!! Awesome

Thanks for these stellar tip videos! I know they are going to help improve my riding!

thanks for going to the effort and running through this for us..

Great content. I’m going to practice this tomorrow, thank you.

I learned this technique from skateboarding great video and breakdown on this technique I wouldn't even know were to begin to explain this

Love these video's, I learn something new every time.. thanks from the USA

I love this video. You blend theory and practice very well, while also educating as you go. There was what looked like some moto-tai chi with the instruction. Lol. Love it mate.

Thanks for the no BS straight up explanations - learning heaps

Super informative and outstanding demonstration. Love it.

Thank you so much, this is really helpfull to become a better rider!

Another great video 👍 I always liken it to downhill skiing where your legs are acting as your suspension dampers, soaking up the bumps

Muchas gracias por tus enseñanzas, las pondré en práctica cada que salga a pasear. La técnica de no pesar es muy interesante y muy cierto. Saludos desde San Diego Ca. 🇺🇸

So good. This is the way i was taught to ride a mountain bike, using elbows and knees as shock absorbers and maintaining the same height of the head.

Always tuned on your channel, king regards from Barcelona!

Excellent masterpiece of a tutorial my friend. Like you said, we should be weightless riding. And instead of a 2 pieces suspension, it is actually 4, adding legs and arms , like a 4x4. We then learn to approach any terrain without fear of fail. Thanks mate for word of wisdom. Hi from Puerto Rico.

Hit everything! Yep, I'm working on hitting every trail and every obstacle in my area!

Mountain biking is good practice for off road handling and fitness.

Fantastically informational. Legend

Another great video and I've got lots to practice when winter clears out. I had to chuckle at the rock field, my pasture looks like that, I won't have to go far to practice. 😅

Thanks Adam! This is great information! Now to get out and ride my new Desert X!

So helpful and informative. Thanks

Thank you!

🍒, sure needed this info (40) yrs. ago! 🍎, Absolutely complete & understandable.

Valuable advice, thanks a lot. I may have to watch your videos over and over again. And go training. Günter/Nürnberg

I just did my first off road and survive most of it, thanks to you! Short video but really great! 🏍️ I did get stuck on a deep mad but that was just my lack of experience! 😂

Great tips, will practice them on my next ride when possible (: Can you maybe make a video about driving trough mud one day?

Thanks again man! This stuff is invaluable as a newbie adventure rider, all of my experience was from GSXR's and a Hypermotard which has all become useless on a little baby KTM 390 ADV!

Sick moves bud. Thankyou

I feel like I've been doing this instinctively on my xr400 if i know im gonna hit gnarly terrain i stand up and bend my knees and elbows for the impact great tips definitely gonna try and take advantage of more of deweighting from the bike.

I’m too old and stiff these days to get onto stuff like this but on country lanes in the Uk the roads are pretty bad in places Adam and I have definitely been saved from certain injuries by applying your off road style and dumping all the unnecessary stuff I had on my Africa Twin cheers mate

These vids are so good man

Awesome vid ❤

Awesome video! Thank you!

Great video! It would be awesome to compare the force at which you hit an object with both techniques.

everything hit 👌your tips make me look good cheers

Great message.

Great explanation, also the momentum of your body moving upwards into a stand will make the bike even lighter. Bike looks awesome 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

thanks a lot for your advice !! You are always very clare in your explain, even for me ! i'm from france 😅

GOOD TO SEE YOU USING DIFFERENT BIKES, LOVE THE KTM 500 AND YAMAHA 700 .

I actually don't have MC but I always enjoy watching your videos and your techniques and thank you so much for sharing your big experience with us , have a good day,,,,,,,,,,,

You have a good spot there to practice and the old log too. I realize I need to find a more advanced section to practice. Maybe with a buddy and a sack lunch right?

Great video! God bless you.

Great stuff as always and the reason I love the new speedbumps in my neighborhood...everyday practice. Thanks for all the great content.

Absolutely. Speed humps are the perfect opportunity to practice the weightless method.

Mountain biking is great training for this technique on an adventure bike. Someone (I can't recall who) once told me to let the bike dance about underneath you while you stay relatively in the same position, only counterbalancing.

love your pijamas dude! subscribed

It's simple and clear instruction like this that encourages the practice we all need. Great work
