My first reaction after a fall is to pick the bike up. Experience has taught me to take at least three steps away, look around, plan where I want the bike to be after I pick it up, then go make the lift. Getting that little bit of perspective and 30 seconds’ rest is invaluable

You can also cheat this by taking your helmet off. You'll need to take the gloves off first too. All of this will amount to at least half a minute, which will give you a moment to assess the situation. You may need to rotate the bike on the ground first. Or you may need to move a stone away. And, sometimes, you may need to take some luggage off, if the bike has fallen downhill and rotating it is not an option. I revel in lifting my bike, and because I am short, it happens often, so I've become quite good at it. :D

Don’t be afraid to drag your bike to position it facing where you want to go or to avoid lifting uphill. It sounds and feels awful, especially when your bike is new, but it is sometimes necessary.

Great advice indeed!

One handy technique I use to turn around is to use the edge of the trail to help the bike move. If the edge of the trail has an incline, I will power the bike up, then clutch in and let gravity pull it back down while I perform the turn. It is a great energy saving technique if the situation is right.

Thanks again for another great set of skillls and tips. Helping to keep the rest of of us safe and enjoying every ride.👍

Excellent video. This has me wanting to get out and practice and keep up these skills. Thanks!

As for the paddling, techniques I know that in all situations it may not always be possible but I feel it is important to learn to paddle with one foot on a peg at all times. This small thing is a huge improvement to your mobility on the bike. When you are sitting on the seat with both feet paddling is is almost impossible to move forward or back on the bike because your but is stuck there. With a foot on a peg it becomes so easy to shift your position forward or back on the bike and allow you better control by weighting the appropriate part of the bike. You are essentially connected to the bike with a foot on the peg and in control vs just along for the ride with only your butt and hands on the bars. I agree with your take on all of these techniques and I just felt that clarifying how much more advantageous it is to keep a foot on a peg as much as is possible. I also think that the more clutch control drills you can do the better, the clutch is just as much a part of your throttle as the right hand, also in conjunction with clutch control drills practice loading the flywheel and using the clutch for control of that energy. I am no great rider but I have lots to practice lol as riding is something that will teach us new things all the time.

I enjoy your videos. At 70 now it seems as though all those skills have departed. Been riding since I was able to sit on a mini bike. Plus gravity is not my friend. Picking up a heavy bike like your vstrom has become extremely difficult. Hence switching to a wr250r. But I now own a new Ibex 800T and I want to take it off road without getting hurt or damage to the bike. So my relearning of skills is a must. Picking it up is by far the most difficult thing to do.

So as someone else in these comments suggested, the Saxton Motorcycle Recovery Technique - SMRT (easy to find on youtube) is one of the easiest ways to pick up a bike. For young people this would maybe be redundant, but for older people like yourself this might be a solution.

Quick tip For water crossings on a big ADV bike, - pile up a few rocks making a small pyramid shape. just at the edge of the water. - back up a few meters, and approach at full speed, launching the bike over the obstacle. - the trickey part is jumping off of the bike just before take- off.. so as you can return the rocks to their original location and saving yourself from backtracking once your bike is on the other side.

Totally agree on the spin turn. Its fun, you turn quickly, but anywhere that you have the space to use it, you're not really stuck... It can damage the trail and if you're in a group, roost your mates.

When you need to turn around sometimes you have the opportunity to choose the spot as a GS 12 rider with no effective fork rebound and short legs, try and pick your spot with a little incline or up slope for the reverse part of a u-turn. Your right being able to turn round allows you a lot more confidence to try a little explore somewhere new.

For those who may be experiencing difficulties lifting their motorcycle up off of the ground, I found a technique that helped me tremendously. I don’t have any trouble lifting my 300 Rally with the techniques that you demonstrated, but I use to have trouble with the bigger bikes until I found this. There is only one video on all of KZread that I have found, and I am extremely grateful for it. So the credit should go to that guy...

one time when i went for a ride, i ended up riding off camber on some really slippery clay, had my uphill foot extended to the front to push the center of mass further forward and when i start losing the front to dig the heel in and stand the bike back up. I ended up losing the front, not getting enough grip on my heel due to wet clay (and me being in normal shoes because i decided to go out during a small break in my classes) and just flopping on the ground at 5 km/h. That was my first actual crash on the bike, and it was hilariously slow and pathetic. Like the crash itself went on for a solid 5 seconds. I was also on street tires that have more grip on ice than on wet clay.

@@GTAmaniac1 the slow and pathetic falls can be a horrible feeling ...especially if you hear a crunch when it goes down!

Man, I use the side stand technique everyday when I get into my garage because it's too small of a space to do a three point turn. I highly suggest this one because it doesn't take too much strength. My bike is a Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 (which is about 155kg wet) and im 170cm also being 56kg.

Only skimmed the comnents, but I would add a few techniques I use all the time. Mounting old man/ horse style, by stepping up onto the peg (sidestand down) amd then swing a leg over. It saves a lot of energy and riding pant crotch stitching (especially on rain gear). Another technique I practice every ride is slow speed foot on the peg contol. First by rolling slow upto the opening garage door, then slowly into the garage and turning into my parking spot.

I dropped my fully loaded GSA on very loose gravel and I couldn’t get my feet to grip. I couldn’t pick it up and hadn’t tried to pull the rear tire to make it easier on the incline I was on, but I could tell I was close because normally I have no issues picking it up. This lady came by and asked if she could help and I asked her to give it a push once I lift it a bit. We did it on the first try and she said she felt like she barely lifted it, but it was enough to break the threshold and get it up.

I used the sidestand pivot a few times in my garage, untill I noticed the hinge started to bend. I did use it one time on a trail this year when there was no other option(for a person with my skills). You're right, going on a offroad trip without some basic skill sets is not the smartest thing.

My favourite skill: picking the right spot to turn around on a steep downhill and then executing the turn. Corollary: if you can see neither the bottom of the hill nor a place to turn, dont start the descent!

As I got stuck underneath my bike before (luckily with the instructor around to free me again) I always wondered and worried about this happening to me on one of my solo trips through Sweden’s forests. None of the lifting skills - which I possess - would really help and you might spend the night lying underneath your bike, providing free meals to the local mosquitos! Solution: get a ratchet type lifting device. Not a real trick, not really cheap, perhaps not really elegant and added weight. But the peace of mind I had during my trip this summer was definitely worth it.

Thanks for another good video. Where your eyes are looking and the timing of your eyes sliding ahead on your path matters a lot in bad terrain and on turns. Too close to the front tire and too far ahead both have their downfalls.

4:18 and keeping them wider than the foot pegs is a bonus :P

I totally agree that „paddling your leggs” is the most hated method but i am pretty shure that it helps a lot on Adv bike. There are situations You should stay on footpegs but in long ride YOU NEED to know how to ride in sitting position to save energy. I am total Begginer (2 years offroad on ADV) but the more i practice the more i understand. Best way to lern is to RIDE. The more i train the more i understand how to act in specific situations. „Internet experts” are the worst advise for me but i Think You are the one that does not talk shit. Your Videos are really helpfull! Thanks

I guess that the most important off road skill especially with a big and heavy bike is not riding alone 😂 the second would be - don’t do stupid stuff when alone 😅 Getting stuck is inevitable and best it to know how to get stuck as well. It’s a skill on its own and there are some practical ways to fall down with the bike in your favour e.g. always choose an upper line because gravity helps if you drop the bike, trust the suspension and give more throttle, when going downhill on a slippery surface - use MORE the rear brakes and the front brakes with pulsations. No idea if I am right…just my experience.

I really don't know which one was right but on the slightly heavier bike using the front brake worked best for me.

What about lifting a heavy bike (260 kg like Super Tenere 1200) from a slippery muddy ground? How would you recommend to do it? And the second question is how to lift a bike if you don't have enough space to spread your legs (for example, if it fell near a tree and you only a small space between the tree and the bike. Not sure if I've made myself clear.

The easiest way for me to pick up my KTM 1190 R is to knee next to make sure the tyers can not slip and then knee down next to the seat and push horizontally into the bike. I feel that is saves me a lot of energy especially if the handlebars and seat face down the hill slightly.

Nah. We're not riding trials competition. If you get through safely and consistently then it's good.

On a KLR650S, the stand position is so far back that the nose just won't come up. I've used a side stand turn successfully maybe once or twice, but typically have to do something else. I've always found a way to get pointed in the right direction, though. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here to comment. :)

Paddling brings up the point of seat height. If you're in a rut, the seat height won't matter much. If you're crossing a stream and want to paddle, being able to get both feet down could be the difference between making it across or falling over. Guess I'll learn to paddle with just one foot at a time!

Anytime your feet are off the pegs you are very close if not out of control. Stand up, it lowers the C of G. Get you butt off center to counter balance the bike. Don't carry too much crap high on back. Like a pendulum swinging the front end. Ride it out, many stop too soon and fall. You fall on hill, drag that bike around and get it pointed out. Make sutre to put side stand down before raising bike up. Keep it in gear to hold it on hill. Know your machine, practice technique. Let gravity and balance work for you.

Yes, perfect. I'd actually say, 'be a problem solver' is the most essential skill. And getting unstuck (via the rock, the paddle, the turn) is just a particular list of techniques you added in to make the video longer, because 'be mentally persistent about solving problems' is not an easy video to make.

It would be sliding and I could not get a firm grip for my boots either. Even with the help of a good samaritan it took a good amount of effort. Gravity can be a bitch! 🙂 (getting old is not helping either).

Oh jeez, there are alot of tips everyone (yes even you) miss, especially talking about offroad travel. First and probably the MOST important one, get off the bike and walk the trail/feature, if you dont know what to expect, if its turning more and more nasty, if youre tired and cant afford another exercise, get off your bike and WALK. At most it takes an extra 5 minutes, at worst it saves you energy, it saves you money from.not damaging the bike and it gives you the option to decide where to trun arround. Second tip is for turning arround, first off, youre out there you dont know whats ahead so slow the fk down and stop sooner than you need, this allows you to get a "run up" and lock the rear to easely and safely get your bike to turn adleast half way, since the skill is easy to learn and easier to master with half an hour on a gravel road... Getting it turned half way means whatever you do next will take 50% less work. Another tip, everythign you do kn a bike is easier done standing next to it, its not a race and youre not showing off, if you ride like me then youre out there, far from anyone, let alone any help, if you are not shure of yourself, get your lazy ass off the bike and do what you need to do walking... There are a lot of other tips, especially for travelers, but these are the basics you not only need to remeber but do on regular basis. This way you get it in your habbit and are a safer traveler for it.

i enjoy watching your videos but one thing i have settled with is paddling,,,,as an offroad rider who can't even flatfoot one leg on a ktm 890 or a yamaha t700 ,let alone enduro motorcyles which have even taller sit heights ... i ride with taller riders always and they are constantly paddling even in situation that don't even need it because it;s a muscle memory already embedded in their technique so i consider it a bad technique...yeah hard enduro riders do it and their skill level is superior compared to most weekend worriors, but a serious offroad rider wanting to improve on their technique should keep their feet on the pegs as much they possibly can,,,,but if they have to paddle one foot should always be on the pegs most of the time....another overlooked offroad technique is knowing how to push and walk the bike when all other tehniques and tricks fail..as for clutch control and getting unstuck i have found that one can really improve on that by learning cluth and throttle control on a trial motorcycle. i am 5,4" and i have always outpace my 6ft buddies on rugged terrain and even wet ruts, trick beign foot on the pegs..,i remember your episode on weighing the pegs...still one of my favourite episode on the channel...

I don’t disagree with this. I would say though, that learning to paddle as a shorter ride is very possible, but you do have to really put time into learning be efficient at moving across the seat. The benefit is that when it’s technical, you learn to be able to move slower, because you can be confident of always getting one foot down. 😊

This is one reason why I sometimes ride in a rut when others choose to go around them on hillclimbs. Since I'm lower into the terrain I can use the edge of the rut to paddle if I need to. I've been told it's bad technique and not to do it, but I've also chosen to ride around ruts, lose momentum, and then fall into the rut since I can't get my foot down. Sometimes you have to pick your battles. Also getting off the bike and pushing it is an underrated technique. I was with a buddy and we had to move through a technical part of a trail and I chose to get off my bike and walk it since it was very off camber and I could only get one foot down, the other side was 8" below me. My buddy who was on the same bike (390 Adventure) chose to ride the bike, which worked out for him since he is over 6' and had no troubles getting his foot down.

If you ever find yourself with both feet off the begs you are no longer riding the bike, you are just holding onto it. Two feet on the pegs is best, one foot on a peg is still pretty good. No feet on the pegs means youve lost your natural stability and you are now at the mercy of any small rocks that would throw you off balance. Touching the ground with your feet should be a quick dab. If you need to waddle then just walk the bike. Dont drag your feet. Theres plenty of rocks or bushes or branches out there to snag your foot and drag it under the pegs or pull you down to the ground so keeo the feet up on the legs where possible.

The methods of Tarres and Jarvis are not something one should compare with regarding adventure riding at all. These artists perform at the extremes of what a bike, and man, can do and not by a long shot what is implemented in a situation out in the wild. Surely some trial skills will be helpful in certain situations, but what is more important is to think like an engineer, keeping your head cool and think your way through the problem, rather than using dare-devil skills and acrobatics to counter the hinder. As you are out in the wild you don't want the slightest risk of damaging your bike, nor yourself. Not to mention difference in bikes, where Jarvis rides a nimble competition cycle, we ride heavier more equipped adventure bikes, which in turn need a very differenc strategy to manouver. Even Jarvis wouldn't be silly enough to trick his way through the rough had he been on an adventure.
