The best tip for riding Strata is stick to either the left or right of the puddles. Reason being is it's heavily used by 4x4 and if you try to move out of your left or right side your going to come off. Also if you stick to either side you can use your leg to balance against the bank if needed. It's a good lane and I'd say definitely have another go at it. Just stick to the sides and you will be fine.
@crashbangbikersАй бұрын
Yeah you’re definitely right. Thanks for the advice, we did have another go and we finally made it. (Watch our Adventurous day out video) Also found going through the water slower was better!

Hi, yes I would highly recommend it. It’s not the cheapest but for me the added obstacle avoidance and tracking modes were a major selling point having never used one before. This was literally my 2nd time using it, Obviously need to practice more to get better results next time but so easy to start off with. The return to home feature is also amazing. You will probably need more than one battery though.

Trialsprogression is a wonderful learning channel, definitely recommend it.
