8 Ways To Turn a Dirtbike Around

6:40 when you started the bike will it was still on the rear wheel that was awesome

[@SteveKiziak]

So cool that you’re doing all the hard enduro stuff on a YZ! Obviously a very capable bike, you don’t need to go Orange.

[@tastypotato2732]

i think it’s like a yz250x or yz125x, those are the enduro bikes

[@SteveKiziak]

Yes, I had a 125X but foolishly traded it for a KTM and all the TPI issues that came with it. Maybe I’ll get the 250x next time! And with Brads freight train kit! Of course...

@@xzx_falcon7784 i mean it definitely would be a sick ass bike but other than it being cool, i wouldn’t say it be the best, it definitely would work though, so if that’s your only option and you like 2 strokes i’d go for it

[@tastypotato2732]

@@xzx_falcon7784 your not gonna be in the powerband often though especially if your doing single track, so i would get another premix that’s ratio is higher like 40:1 or even 60:1, MAKE SURE ITS THE RIGHT OIL and it says what ratio to use on the bike, you don’t wanna get yamalube that’s suppose to run at 32:1 but run it at 60:1. I have a kx100 that i run at 60:1 because i do single track and not always in the powerband, i get like 3 months out of the spark plug but only ride once every 2 weeks

Just grow longer legs.

[@Smittyschannel]

I have used many of these over the years, but the foot down donut is my turn around of choice. I try to be versatile & learn as many as I can

now i want to pick up my bike, thing is though its a 4 stroke things gonna be heavy asf

2 strokes sound way better than 4 strokes

[@VZBOYY]

@@rocketracing3852 mmm that's your opinion mate

[@jordanchavez636]

@@rocketracing3852 alot of people say they like 2 strokes better because they grew up on them, are cheaper to fix, sound cooler etc. But the truth is unless you got a KTM or husky four strokes are more comfortable, easier to ride (which makes it more fun) and are far More developed in technology with that being said as much as I love 2 strokes if I had to pick a new bike today personally I would pick a 4 stroke it's really a better bike when you read about it not to mention when you're on one (for me at least)

@@endurofan9854 Cool! I've only got a 50cc 05 Yamaha DT but I like to do light enduro on it as well.

[@DmitriyAdv]

Great video! For technique #1 it’s usually a good idea to check what’s behind you, so that your buddy or some random quad doesn’t think you’re pulling over to let them pass and t-bone you :) Pretty obvious, but happens more than one’d think!

[@bikersoncall]

Yes, and critically important for hwy riding, parking lots etc, EXTRA critical.

[@ibsn87]

I’ve ridden trails a bit. But you make this look effortless. In reality by this point, I’m absolutely f’n exhausted.

[@streetrider11]

Video turned out amazing, like the fishhook. I usually use a combo of baby pivots and the fish hook to get turned around when I get stuck on a hill climb. The kickstand turn also got me out of a very bad situation. Was on a solo camping trip and got burried in some mud in the middle of nowhere. After lots of digging I managed to break get the front wheel out using the kickstand turn, definitely bent the frame tabs a bit but better than walking out.

[@wearefootballmusicfans3941]

[@xzouix]

I might try some of these techniques on my cruiser. Our "on-roads" often look like off-roads. Cheers from northern Slovakia!

[@HydeMyJekyll]

Don't forget the stoppie turn! Stoppie plus a little lateral rotation can have you landing the rear wheel 180 degrees and ready to rip straight back where you came from!

[@smokesandalloy9487]

That balanced kick start lol. Crazy skills.

[@tism66]

The 4th one should be called the reverse J turn cuz that’s what it is 😂😂 Love your vids 👍🏼

[@adkadvmotoadventure6674]

Can';t wait to see that floater mastered! already looking great. Thanks for the great video

[@posterlion]

Great display of technique. You are quite skilled. I like doing the floater, but it doesn't always work out. The last time I tried it was on a 1972 Honda XL 250. It was not successful, but it was fun laughing at myself after falling off the bike without injury. BTW, you should try the standing donut turn. It is similar to the foot down, it's just that you push on the peg instead of putting your foot down. You let the bike start to fall a bit, then dump the clutch. It's a little counter intuitive, but I am sure you can pull it off. You're good! 🙂

[@timadams6745]

[@ritualslayner9067]

Love the video man keeping grinding bro im some day you'll have over a million subs

[@331moto]

If you drag the rear brake during the full lock turn, it helps balancing exponentially

[@ginge5253]

When it comes to training new riders the U turn exercise is always a make or break for them, I see it all the time where people will balance the clutch and throttle but totally forget about dragging the rear brake a touch. Just gives the rider so much more balance and control and allows the rider to keep the speed of the manoeuvre much more consistent

[@bikersoncall]

I agree, drag that back brake a bit if you can, also for a full-lock turn, I'll (sometimes, not always, depending on situation) use 2nd and do a bit of clutching to keep the motor from dying, 1st gear can sometimes be way too flicky, causing the bike to lurch back and forth unevenly.

[@salazam]

bro I didn't come here to do algebra

[@speedyboi349]

I always use the foot down donut if possible Sometimes the fish hook is also helpful in a hill

[@lizfl420]

That fish hook though 😳

[@jondoe4667]

Hell with the turn around methods. I'm gonna learn how to balance my bike long enough for me to spin around the way he did at 5:44 🤘🇺🇲

[@moverhh]

My favorite is number 2, the kickstand pivot. Comes in handy on a heavy bike and narrow road downhill.

[@bikersoncall]

lol, yeah a kickstand that can't do that should be replaced immediately. I actually have not tried this maneuver, but use the kickstand a lot to tilt my bike over to check how my front or back tire is spinning, freely or jammed up at all.

[@ReeferCheifer13]

That fishhook was smoooooth! I’m gonna implement that after practicing the roll up first. The roll up seems to be a baby fishhook. Siick

[@JasonHamborg]

Nice work on this man! It turned out great :D

Way 9: Call somebody with a chopper, tie the bike to a rope which is also connected to the chopper, tell the pilot to fly like 1m higher and turn a few degrees boom ez turn

Too expensive, just carry a skyhook in your backpack.

Have you done any mods to keep your bike cooler in the trails? I picked up a YZ250 a few months back and ride mostly single track.
