3 Offroad skills you should practice

[@curzon394x]

I'm a simple man. I see a Motology upload I stop what I am doing, like the video before I watch it, then I proceed with my day and with my love for riding on my brain re-energized. :)

[@Macgregor_images]

Me too 😂

[@roshnajithesh687]

guess i'm a simple girl then :)

[@francisconeto9289]

I've seen almost all the videos... Can't wait for my África Twin to BE ready to apply all of this knowledge, só simply explained to my off-road trips...

[@JakeyJay26]

Your ability to explain what would otherwise be impossible, using practical instruction on video is truly world class. Thank you very much.

[@ultimatepu5h]

Not only is Adam freaking fire on the bike, he always drops the truth bombs too! 👊👊

[@rustymustard7798]

99% of 'advice' out there for real riding is all hype and cope, this guy is the real deal.

[@LethalLee666]

mate the skills your sharing dont just help the adventure rider they help enduro cattle musterers farmers checking remote fencing the whole entire bike culture , and the way you teach us with practical viewing is amazing my nephew started riding and i told him don't learn from me watch ARiemann 1 learn from the guy i learn from keep up the good work and make sure you have fun too thanks mate

[@Collins690]

I am a street rider,commuter,riding NC-750x manual transmission,but I can testify that from the I encountered this channel and this brother’s work,my ridding experience had just grown wings….I really appreciate you brother. I have been a rider for 22 years now,but I can tell you that your channel is good to me,looking forward to joining your channel

[@JamesAbrahams-nj8wd]

Always excellent advice and certainly helping me be more confident on the dirt. Love that 'Bob & Marge' continue to feature - my UK mates look very puzzled when I mention them 🙂 Keep them coming Adam - always informative and well made.

[@-W8WHAT]

I have been riding for ever it seems, and honestly know my stuff....BUT Geeez....i always learn so much more from Adam's clear simple advice videos!!! Quality stuff...RESPECT!!! 😎✌

[@Braapncamp]

Awesome Adam, i always learn from Your pedagogic training vids 👌✊🏻✊🏻

[@HondaWanderer]

I've learned SO much from you Adam. Your instructional video on popping the front, and a bit of practice, has helped this 53yr old, riding for only 10 months, learn to control my bike so much better. I put together a video after nailing the front wheel pop multiple times. I finally felt "YES! I've got it!" - it felt so good! My partner cried when she saw the video, though that could be in part due to the music :D I never want to stop learning. Thankyou for doing these. I hope you will do more. I still feel a bit clumsy on the controls when up on the pegs, so perhaps that's something you can touch on a bit more.

[@gadgetman_nz4092]

Ha, ha. This video reminds me of the one where you were teaching the technique of braking to scrub speed before hitting an obstacle then releasing the brake to unload the front before hitting. A couple of days after that I was driving a van around the hills and encountered a shallow ditch across the road. I instinctively followed your advice. Passenger didn't see or feel the ditch. I can confirm that it works on other than motorbikes. Now I haven't been on a motorbike for about 40 years but about to drop some money on a little farm bike. Should be fun. Light, nimble and manageable for an old cripple. My adventuring kit would only weigh about 15-20kg for tramping or kayaking for a week. Looking forward to it. Thanks for another excellent, no nonsense video.

[@TheRealSykx]

Awesome, have fun!

[@James-zs5cm]

Ahhhh i used to do this all the time with agressive speed bumps.. get it right and you barely even feel the bump.. smart technique

[@briandavies3723]

Nobody on YT teaches better motorcycle skills than Adam 👍

[@maraudermitchelli]

Excellent but hurtful I’m the old guy trying to adventure ride by swiping my credit card. This man inspires me to try harder and train 😊

[@OsadabwaMoto]

I really like that somebody's showing fast cornering, and light luggage setups. Are you 100% better rider than I am, yes! Which is precisely why I like to watch. If people are pissed off by these vids, they can quit watching them. Now... bring that baby to Kenya and lets test it in the stones!

[@AgentJayZ]

I've got a quarter million miles of riding experience... on pavement. Trying to learn gravel and dirt on a G/S. These videos are extremely helpful. You taught me how to corner on loose gravel. Thanks heaps!

[@SagarSheldekarOfficial]

GodSpeed Adam! You are like the tree of knowledge that keeps on giving. Cheers!

[@dionoliveira4058]

This is like giving gold away, you are good man Adam, keep em wheels turning.

[@user-qh5pp9jm3y]

Brilliant brilliant brilliant. Thank you for finally showing instructions with a loaded bike. You should train how and what you ride, on a bike you use, loaded the way you travel. It drives me insane watching instructional videos on naked and unloaded bikes, exactly the way no one actually rides. Thanks for the reality over theory approach. Love your work, take care.

[@TriAngles3D]

While watching a list of Motology videos a new one pops up... Have to watch it.

[@tonyspencer4379]

I'd love to comment and tell you how much these videos have helped me with my adventure bike trips (helped me more than any other resource) but these videos have transformed my abilities on my dirt bike. What I've learned here has helped in ways I hadn't thought possible. Especially when you talked about letting off throttle/brakes when the wheel slide or could slide. I genuinely appreciate these lessons.

[@Toonces311]

"my core followers,.......off-road riders that are transitioning to adventure" You are an oracle mate!

[@cyclemoto8744]

"the more comfort you have, the less enjoyable the ride". This is exactly what i've been attempting to explain to others in various discussions however I have failed to articulate my point in such a short succinct manner. As usual, very well said Adam. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@nickg2431]

As a all round top level rider + easy and approachable style with no big headedness adam,s content is one of the best on YT.Everything he tells you about off road riding is of value

[@greyfisher3897]

All "self proclaimed" instructors out there take heed to Adam's master classes, best on the planet hands down, he will reshape the ADV world in time with his "truth bombs" and no nonsense expertise and teaching with clarity, no B.S., no stories from the great book of motorcycle myths common in most other instructional videos out there...thank goodness.....This man is saving lives from camel collisions, reducing helicopter rescue rates, and preventing (at least to a minimum) the "its part of the adventure" broken legs. Bottom line, this sport is an intellectual endeavor. "make some better choices in what they are buying" "the more comfort you have, the less enjoyable the riding...you are kidding yourself otherwise"....This man can articulate.......Cheers from Canada....

[@ORLLLLY]

This man here helped me so much with getting more comfortable riding offroad - insane

[@sidmarks265]

Balance, control, confidence and experience personified. Thanks Adam.

[@Mick_English]

If your gonna watch an instructional video about motorcycle riding in all its forms then here's the Channel. Cheers Adam 👍🏻

[@samcooper4984]

I want to go from a 300 two stroke to a t7 and these videos are a massive help ro bridge that gap. Cheers mate.

[@christiaanF1]

Go checkout his videos on the 300, man oh man you would want to keep that 300..

[@konxx8280]

So much FUN sitting in your school & learning. Even after 40 years there is sooooooo much left to learn and to do! Thank you and regards from south-west of Germany

[@T7rider]

Wow! I know all about counter steering coming from riding ninja, GPS and Ducatis in my young age. I now ride adventurer bikes and I was taught to mosthly use pegs steering off road. This is a revelation to me! have to practice that ,thanks!

[@fwijffels]

I was already aware of counter steering in low speed situations, but now I learned that counter steering has an incredible usacase at high speed too! Awesome

[@ToroZxF1]

Hey Adam, i realy like this kind of your Clips. There is so much knowledge in only 13 Minuts. Im totally in love with your Camera Setup. No Film Crew or fancy Stuff, just you and the Camera. Thanks man

[@alistercresswell6591]

love these videos, im out each weekend giving it a go, and its starting to pay off, . 50 years old... never done this before as i was a roadie, but Adam is helping understand.

[@robkeogh4593]

This is why I decided to pony up for membership. I probably could have done with the steering lesson a bit earlier, i still have the ARB badge inprint on my left knee from a few weeks back. Something to practice in a month or so👍

[@MotologyFilms]

Thanks for the support mate, hope you're back on the bike soon.

[@LostnRunning]

Light is right for adventure bike luggage. Soft bags ftw too. Cheers again Adam👍

[@christiaanF1]

Adam, thanks, mate. Not only do you share your knowledge. You show us how to be a better and a smarter rider. Many people will ask you a bunch of money and chase you around the bush for what Adam just showed us. And has been showing us for many years. May God bless you for the good intentions you have, mate. You are brilliant.

[@phongo3301]

Great video. I've learned all of these technique on Vietnam's road. Everyday drive is an offroad.

[@jpadv4157]

Thanks Adam, coming from road, these tips are very helpful as not much transfers over. Its a bit like learning to ride from scratch and learning to ride counter intuitively in some cases

[@bensteere1781]

i hope you knoticed the cap off your fuel spout went flyin in the video ,hope you didnt lose it . Your a legend yet another great Vid . Im just getting my camping gear and saddle bags organised cant wait to give it a crack .youve inspired me to use the bike more than i usually would .Keep up the great work

[@MotoFishy]

Doing my first bike trip on the new 800DE, and really my first motocamping trip. Swapped out to the soft side bags last night for the first time and it's really making me think about packing order and what I really need. One day I'll get to the harder offroad stuff, but new tires will be a must. The OEMs won't do much in the dirt and sand.

[@RealHooksy]

You’re on a good bike to take your journey on mate. Good luck 👍

[@pilgrim.on.a.motorcycle]

I really appreciate all the input Adam. It is also great to see you working with the 'World Raid'. I took the nice Black plastic Radiator cover off mine and used plastic screws to secure some mesh to the back of it - to keep out the larger stuff.

[@fricaTenereWorldraid]

Heerlijk die omgeving, heerlijk als je zo kunt rijden! Fantastisch om naar te kijken. Dank je wel voor de voortreffelijke uitleg!

[@christiaanF1]

Adam weet wat hy doen... hy spjeel nie.

[@spsingam]

I need to practice this within my capability. Thank you Adam for another skills improvement video.

[@Grazzo77]

Golden, Mate! Keep up the good work. We talk about counter steering on the road and track all the time but you are the first I've heard talking about it on the dirt. The hill climb was awesome, fantastic to watch.

[@rickybobby1055]

This helps thanks. Took my T7 up to Idaho with friends last year and had a blast, this year going solo to northern montana. Thanks for the info!

[@TheSilmarallion]

Thank you for this, I was wondering how to go around the corner like this, thanks for the explanation.

[@faisalarh]

I can only say thank you for your service sharing your knowledge and experience on this free channel, and not behind membership paywall (membership).

[@johndemmink3539]

Your honesty shines thru! Appreciate your insights. Thx.

[@kokkiematematika1931]

For me this was a well-timed watch. Currently riding with much luggage and gravel & sand awaiting me. Thank you much

[@Menz890]

Owning a 501 and now an 890 I find my 501 sits a lot so I guess I’m in that transition you speak of. Awesome informative videos.

[@MotologyFilms]

It comes with age.

[@ralfabel8657]

It looks allways so easy, but I know it's hard work and practice. Unfortunately the not so easy in the middle of Germany to find good places for that. Thanks for your advice😀

[@baciucatalin2199]

Your videos are amazing! I feel like my best friend is teaching me how to be safe and have fun on the bike. Just great

[@adaptableadventurerider]

Legendary videos Adam :) last week I went out on our 2020 T7 (got one for me an the old man to share as he just got diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer) after watching all your tip videos I decided to go green laning again, within 30 mins I felt that comfortable with the T7 on the road I decided to have a wander down a Green lane (our unsealed roads an tracks in the UK for anyone reading) I'd done previously on a 300 Rally I had an I really didn't enjoy the green laning on that. I had a wander up on the T7 only a short bit just to see how I felt mind game wise with a bit of green laning (Road based adventure traveller previously) Starting to apply all the techniques an advice you've been sharing an undo the road habits I absolutely loved the green laning really enjoyed it on the T7 I'd go as far to say I found the T7 more managable with the techniques I've learnt from your vids at a sedate pace an it all worked really well (our code of conduct over here is a voluntary 25mph to try keep the lanes open) When I posted on one of the forums alot of the lads were saying the T7 was top heavy etc an they'd sold them i didn't notice that at all convinced it was because mine hasn't got crash bars etc. I've also taken your approach to how I'm speccing the bike, looking at the AXP hpde 8mm plastic bash guards an the ACD ally bash guard both 2.5kg or so an I've got an Akro Can on so the weight will wind up same as standard, then some hand guards, suspension after that, soft luggage an get used to riding her like that. Totally different aproach to my previous bikes. An i took a rucksack out with my 1d an 70-200mm rather than buying any hard cases mega difference. The panniers on my old 1150 lived on the shelf since your previous vids an made that big bike managable. Thanks for the vids Adam opening up a whole new world of Adventure Riding for me :) an my old man's enjoying watching the vids ready for when he can ride again to.

[@MotologyFilms]

Really good to hear the positive effects you're absorbing from my videos mate. And all the best to your ol' boy, hope he pulls through. I' had to go down that road with my father. As for the green lanes, they're awesome in the UK. I fumbled my way onto a few on the Warhorse. Wasn't aware of the 25mph limit though.

[@adaptableadventurerider]

@@MotologyFilms thanks mate yep theve been a huge help I always think in life you never stop learning :) just passed your message on to him big smile, both pretty much joined at the hip when it comes to stuff, sorry to hear about your old man. Came as quite the shock to us as he looked fit n healthy lots of operations ahead but he's got a good positive mindset. Oh yep that was amazing footage :) the Warhorse is awesome. I'm mainly into the older stuff 60s Nortons an 80s two strokes so loved the War horse footage. it's a shame they don't put some more signage up even though its voluntary I think its a good idea on them to help keep them open, it only when I was reading the TRF stuff before I went on them I found out Hadn't heard of the TRF till a friend mentioned them with coming from a road background, cool thing though Pretty handy map for finding new ones as part of that called the green road map to which they have just started doing :) wish we had the outback you guys have looks epic!

[@martincyr7259]

Greatly appreciate the techniques you teach. Always clear and precise. Now, time to practice. Thanks Adam!

[@majorlee1]

I am definitely not on the same skill level as you my friend. But, your videos have helped me get a lot better. Thank you 👍

[@WayneSutton]

I learn a lot from you! A fellow T7 rider! Thanks!

[@RealHooksy]

Another cracking lesson from the guy who knows what he’s talking about 😎

[@enduromotorradtouren]

I really like that you put emphasis on actual skills - instead of trying to buy them ;-) Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg (on TransEuroTrail France soon)

[@chrisblanchard4938]

Love your videos. I went from a KTM 250xcf-w to a KTM 500 excf after watching your video of the adventure trip you did with the 500.

[@vijayam1]

You and the war horse are a match made in heaven.

[@stanm2.0]

the last minute or so of this video is so true and right on for what all us adventure riders need to hear. I can't tell you how much of your advice I have taken to heart. the whole video is great and filled with so much advice, knowledge and things to work on and practice. your truly are a great teacher....thanks for everything...@stanforadventure

[@mattguzzim1744]

As always, top notch direction and advice. Thanks!

[@tf841]

Love it! I will apply this to dirt bikes!

[@sprockets_shafts]

A great video for a new adventure rider like myself...you have confirmed the techniques i seem to have naturally adapted so that has pleased Me. Years of Mountain biking has definitely being a contributory experience and is more transferrable than expected. I dont know if I am completely right but i squeeze the bike with my lower legs at times to avoid whisky throttle and hopefully gain more control over the bike in another way?!

[@MotologyFilms]

Absolutely mate, gripping the bike with your legs will take pressure / leverage of your arms and allow more precise control of the throttle. Worst whisky throttle ever is when boots have blown off the pegs and rider is hanging on for their life, both arms fully stretched to the bars with the throttle pinned wide open. We've all been there at some point ...

[@sprockets_shafts]

@@MotologyFilms - yeah been there done that a year ago and headed directly towards the hardest but skinniest and smallest tree in the world! 😂 I came off worst and Tree still intact! Infact the tree looks better than ever 😂 Great job with the videos…I see You did a podcast with the TAMP BOYS Clive etc. They live close to me.

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

Counter steering is obviously counter intuitive but it works brilliantly on loose surfaces, it also works on road bikes with too much power, great lesson dude. Also shut off throttle while air born to dodge woodruff key snapping / sprocket wearing

[@samhill3496]

Like the vid. All good practice. You have to move around and countersteer, absorb and rebalance your weight. Bear down on the bars to keep the front planted. Know what to expect and how to react. Much safer that way. All good. Appreciate your efforts. Never run with a wide ass. Like a bull in a china shop

[@ElSc0rch10]

Great video as usual! I'm transitioning from a sports tourer to a big adventure bike in the next month or so, and next year's tour is definitely going to include some gentle off-roading. I have some off-road experience, but only on smaller enduro bikes, so am finding your videos to be absolutely brilliant. One question I have is regarding your gear. I notice you don't wear any upper body armour in your videos. Is that because of your confidence and familiarity with the 'training' tracks you're using, or do you just never wear it?

[@danielhill136]
