Best Hill recovery technique - Offroad training

[@kai-uweoch1159]

This technique is probably THE most useful thing I learend from an offroad riding training some year ago!

[@LuisGonzalez-oe6np]

F9 + OFOC.....20-30 minutes of relaxed delight....

[@pabloricardodetarragon2649]

Thanks for the laughs and many many thanks for reminding to an old guy the fundamentals of off road and learning to the beginners how to save the precious bike and break something. That was nicely and clearly explained.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Thanks for commenting man! I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^

Dammit. Watched this after dropping my 701 too many times on a wet Welsh TETTY. When you break it down, it is obvious and simple physics. But I didn't. But you did. I'm going to commit that technique to memory. Thanks. And like a lot of others, I'll say your enthusiasm, humour and knowledge is really impressive and doubly so in what is a foreign language to you. Obrigado and anyone, do the Portuguese ACT and TET. Portugal is a beautiful country, dirt bike friendly and excellent value with plenty of accommodation so don't bother camping.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Thanks for watching and for saying such nice things! Its awesome to get this kind of feedback! And congratulations on yout bike choice...it would probably be my pick if I was ready to leave my XT660R :D

[@TheIdlesurfer]

@@OFFroadOFFcourse I'll be back in Portugal soon enough. You're welcome to try my battered 2016 701 with a Nomad fairing. It's a great lightweight adventure bike. I'm off to the Pyrenees ACT and TET next week. I loved Portugal, I've surfed there and ridden the ACT and TET. You live in a beautiful country.

[@SuperManelson]

Great tutorial! I've learned something today. Obrigado Diogo.

[@STIKOS2R]

Grande maestro.

[@RazzyBCF]

Still loving your content!

[@johnkries8189]

Good Advice

[@scldma114]

I knew this technique since long ago and used plenty of times. It is epic indeed as make very easy to get out of very complicated situations. I watched all the video thought and picked few hints in how to make it even better for myself. You have certainly helped a lot of people with this 🙂👍🏻

[@GreaseAndGravel]

Brilliant vid as always!

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Thanks for the support , Fancois! ^^

[@starlordstarlordman8489]

I always enjoy your videos. You have a great sense of humor. Today you did a great job at explaining this process slowly enough and clearly enough that I think even I might be able to do it. Keep the videos coming.

Congratulations on the 10,000 mark!

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

How far this channel as come... I will definitely keep going :D Thanks for being "there" =)

[@pfer99]

If it´s muddy, that´s when starts to get really interesting, to say the least, however good hint here that´s for sure. Keep going man, well done.

[@hazcat640]

The front wheel 'wiggle' is a good technique.

[@lylemacdonald6672]

Excellent, informative and concise.

[@glinleyt]

Very cool tips man. Nice and simply explained. Just back from an epic trip here in S Africa and a mate of mine could have done with this info on a few occasions! LOL

[@RideYourMind]

i love your energy man!

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

You should see me when its not 35ºC! :D thansk for watching and commenting!

[@cambag77]

I enjoyed and learned something from you today. Haven't yet seen the respected Bret Tkacs teaching this technique, you beat him to it and did a great job of it. 2:50 safardana, long time no see! Cheers, man

[@kallehagstrom-adventuresincl]

Useful tip, thanks for sharing Diogo! 🙏😃

[@GunBiker07]

Planning to buy an XT as my 1st bike ever next year after I get a licence. That brought me to your channel. I like your videos and sense of humour 👍 You are as educational as FortNine channel but way more funny 🙂 Definitely deserve more subs.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Hey man, thanks for the words (and for subbing ^^) I love fortnine... I think I am (or try to be) a mix between Fortning and C90adventures :P The XT660 is a great bike, and an awesome "bang for the buck" deal. Are you planning to do a lot of off-road?

[@GunBiker07]

​@@OFFroadOFFcourse Hi there. Since I am from the Czech Republic there are not many true off-road options unless you want to "donate" your money to a local police office 😁 I won't get more then dirtroads or some temporary highway/depot construction sites here 😐 First year or so, I want to get some confidence and some paid off-road courses. If everything goes allright and I won't wreck myself so my wife won't put me against a "sell or divorce" choice I think I'll be eager to cut of some weight from the XT (2v1 exhaust system etc). Then I will try to steal some weekend once in a while to ride abroad for some Poland TET as I live very close to the borders.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

@@GunBiker07 sounds like a plan, man! Lets hope you dont get to that "Sell or divorse" situation! Ahhaha, loved it! XD Its a shame you guys cant ride offroad there in Czech Republic :(

[@GunBiker07]

@@OFFroadOFFcourse Well...I haven't said I won't break the law sometimes to get some muddy fun 🙃 BTW as you are an XT owner can you tell me wheter it does matter what XT generation I pick ? For example in the matter of that 2v1 exhaust system or other aftermarket parts. Are there any differences?

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

@@GunBiker07 i am not 100% sure, but i dont think there are any differences between them. Only "bold new graphics" :p

Bravo, very good.

[@r10j91]

No meu tempo não havia estes ensinamentos disponiveis, aprendi tudo isso á conta de valentes trambolhões🤣🤣🤣

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Um gajo tanto cai e rebola que acaba por aprender a defender-se :D mas esta tecnica por acaso aprendi na net, na altura dos forums...ja nem sei onde :o

[@lizunya1983]

Some great information! What's your advice if you're in the same situation on single track? I tend to do the same process with the bike on its side and swear about my life choices and why I'm riding an adv bike.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Well, to a degree you can still apply this tecnhique, or some principles of it, since it takes the least amount of room to turn a bike around. Probably you have to use the clutch to back the bike into the bushes a little (rear wheel into the bushes) and then use the tecnhique to get the front wheel where you need it to be (pointing down). But each situation/trail/bike will require different solutions :o

The funy part is I'm wching this kn the side of a hill in this same sanaryo
