U-Turns On An Adventure Motorcycle - Competition Training Review Plus BONUS Sand Turns Footage

Performing U-Turns on an adventure motorcycle can feel a bit overwhelming at first. The motorcycle tends to feel bigger and heavier when making tight u-turns off-road, as compared to a U-Turn on asphalt.
Here we break the motorcycle U-Turn down into its 3 stages: Initial approach, Mid turn, and final Exit. The adventure motorcycle will need proper momentum, bike controls, and body position within each of these U-Turn phases.
BONUS FOOTAGE - Adventure motorcycle U-Turns and wide turning in sand shows how all these u-turn skills can help the adventure motorcycle rider better enjoy off-road riding.

_____________________________
These agility & skills courses/exercises are designed to help develop the fundamental riding skills of clutch, throttle, brake and active balance by the rider.
Precise practice in coordinating these techniques can lead to instinctive/reflexive actions by the rider and allow for more precise control of the motorcycle.
Mastery of these techniques allows the rider to more smoothly transition the bike when cornering as well as being able to react reflexively when encountering unexpected changes in surface traction in off road conditions.
Depending on your skill level, you may want to make the courses larger to feel more comfortable while you develop these skills.
Performing these exercises carries a risk of dropping your motorcycle which may result in damage to you or your motorcycle. Always be sure that your bike has the proper crash guards and that you also wear the appropriate protective gear.

U-turns are something I'm nervous about for my test in February (Rookie to Rider, Direct Access in the UK), but this makes them look a lot less scary. Thanks!

Best of luck!

Is it 5m distance from the "side walls" or 2mX2.5m?

[@advmotoskillz]

@@orpaztron The inside length is 5 meters side to side

Kindly tips me about how to control speed in loose traction trail that is on a steep down gradient

[@advmotoskillz]

The front brake is the best way to slow a bike, along with proper body postioning for downhill descents. Often times, slow and teady wins the race.

How can i place extra weight on the backseat to practice for transporting a passenger. I dont want to take my wife before a feel confidente doing it. 😁

[@advmotoskillz]

Thanks for the great question. Riding with a pillion passenger can be twice the fun!

[@advmotoskillz]

When riding two up it’s importantly slow everything down. Accelerating, braking and (especially) turning with the extra weight will compress the suspension and lower your ground clearance. It’s hard to replicate having a pillion passenger during practice because the passenger adds dynamic inputs (shifting their body weight, etc) to the bike as you ride. With U-turns, it’s important to shift your weight to the outside foot peg. Your passenger should be instructed to copy your same movements as well. Communication is key here, so always let your passenger know what you need. With a passenger on back, think “extra” in everything. Extra time to slow the bike down, extra space needed to turn. Before taking a pillion rider, it is very important that you are first comfortable with performing all the steps correctly alone.

Have a great time practicing and enjoy your next ride out 👍
