Hey, I recognize that hill! I did exactly this technique on this hill a few days after this was filmed. Mine wasn't intentional though. Thanks Dusty for a great weekend training!

[@MOTOTREK]

We had the place all to ourselves last Tuesday, Mark. Go figure :)

[@p.y2705]

Hey man. Could you share the loaction. It looks like a great place!

[@west38moto53]

Yessir! Thank you. Great location.

[@petertspock]

Thanks. The key is don't panic. You explained it perfectly.

[@MOTOTREK]

Glad it helped!

[@mjfalcon007]

This was excellent! I didn’t expect the stall hill climb recovery to be like that. Much better than rolling backwards down the hill! I love these tutorials, so helpful in gaining confidence in the trails. Thanks Dusty, I’m so glad I discovered your channel 👌

[@frandi63]

Once more, you bros are making the best motorbike riding videos on YT. Period!

[@MOTOTREK]

Appreciate that

[@teephud369]

I was disappointed when Bret Tkacs left, but you've definitely become the new face of these Mototrek videos, and I like them just as much as always. Great work! One of these days I want to do one of your training classes.

[@ecalzo]

yep .. i thought the same ..

[@billevans3067]

I've always found it much easier to pull the front tire *down* the hill instead of pulling the rear tire *up*. The front is already lighter, especially since it's facing uphill, and I prefer to let gravity work for me instead of against me.

[@west38moto53]

Good point Bill. I have been successful with pulling the front as well. I guess it would depend on the path of least resistance and to your point, in this case, the front may have been easier. :-)

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT tips. I like that you are using big heavy bikes and not demonstrating the techniques on small light bikes "claiming" you can do the same thing on a heavy bike. Carpe Diem! !! !!!

[@BlackThor15]

Short, simple % 100% effective, great video, well done!! 👍👍

[@west38moto53]

Thanks Nelio.

[@thetessellater9163]

I have viewed many of this sort of video, but never seen one giving this particular advice. Thanks Dusty et al. Just wish I lived somewhere like that!

[@AntagonisticAltruist]

As an out-of-shape KTM 1190R owner who's dropped his bike plenty of times, I'm very jealous of the angle those boxer motors provide when it comes to lifting the bike.

[@jordan_drones]

A wonderful channel.. Teaching bike riding skills..I am watching the channel from Jordan.. I find great benefit in education lessons. I hope to get a suitable bike for me. I hold a bicycle driving license since 2006 thank you all.. You are really cool. AKRAM JORDAN 15-2-2023

[@dholy99]

Excellent tutorial. And thanks for actually doing it and not just talking about it.

[@danielrodri3132]

Thanks. Excellent tips. A greeting from Spain.

[@MOTOTREK]

Our pleasure, Daniel.

[@wipperwil]

Very helpful and well explained. Now I’d love to see the same problem solved if the scenario added a deep rut. Thanks for posting.

[@mikehogan2829]

Happy to see new short lessons from you. Great! May be You don ´t mind to get another advice: stopping on the hill and you want to turn, bring your but to the hilltop, this increases your stability, so the chance to fall downhill decreases.

[@tomaszpawlik6082]

This is one of the most interesting training I've ever seen on yt. Thanks a lot!

[@MOTOTREK]

Glad you liked it!

[@skolwithjoel]

Moved up from a KLX 300 SM that I turned into an off road dirt bike to a KTM 890 Adventure S, being so heavy to pick up this so useful on the AZ desert jeep trails I find myself on. The what if I don't make that hill. Thank you.

[@blacksquirrel4008]

Just a clear and elegant explanation and video. Kudos.

[@sidkarnick]

fantastic video... very clear instructions and really well shot as well.. you are spoiling us with your production value now.. top notch as is the case with your instructions dusty.. thank you.. from Mumbai, India

[@MOTOTREK]

Glad you enjoyed it, Siddhant. Thanks for kind words.

[@zeplin4078]

Excellent tips, it is a pity we don't see your videos more regularly,

[@MOTOTREK]

Working on it!

[@WayawayAdventures]

Thanks for this. I'm a long time street rider and this is the kinda stuff I need to make the leap to dirt!

[@fernandourrutia2566]

So simple, so effective. Thanks for these videos guys !!

[@MOTOTREK]

Thanks for watching, Fernando.

[@battambangscooterandmotorc460]

Fantastic stuff.Thank you so much. I'm a kid in a candy store here in Cambodia as big beautiful Beamers are dirt cheap assembled next door in Thailand. Wealthy kids scare themselves and then sell for peanuts. My wife and I run a scooter rental business but love to get on the new highways being built all over the country. We are currently only on a 2011 FTR 223 cc bike which is possibly one of the most practical bikes in SE Asia but by no means a R1250 GS. Post Covid we shall add some Chinese XR's to the fleet and pull the trigger on a big Beamer. Thank you for your instruction. Most of which I find instinctual but your reaffirming is confidence building given the weight difference. Mud is the issue here and man it's for real and deep and sticky. It's a big bummer when one gets caught with his/her pants down a long way down a back jungle road. Nobody likes back tracking. Land mines are still very much an issue here too so one must stay on the "marked" trial. I will look for your mud tutorial and I hope its well over the axles lol. God bless.

[@toanilkamath]

Excellent articulation, I learned these techniques the hard-way, but you made it easier for all those who watch and refresh the rusty ones . Keep them coming, Cheers !!!

[@jocman7339]

I once used a similar technique (combination in gear and foot brake adequately with motorbike position) when I stopped on a steep slope with a tdm900 on a dry forest road (I was a little curious how I could deal with such an technique XD). It really works (to overcome the dilemma without consequences). Thanks for such helpful hints.

[@jimwortham8634]

Thanks so much this man is a true Enduro Rider

[@Sim2Real.]

A normal GS owner will see this video and flip out seeing a gs being used like it was meant to be!

[@MOTOTREK]

Exactly, Franco!

[@mtscott]

I started to cry thinking about the first scratch as he was dragging it around 😄

[@theravedaddy]

You'll never see a thailand GS with mud in the engine fins......maybe some turf from outside the coffeeshop.

[@martinseel2837]

then i know the others by name..... All of my riding friends (GS-riders included) love to abuse their bikes in mud, sand and rocks...... . . . but sure Franco, you are absolutly right.

[@Okke-j2n]

don't be ENVY. Come back to play PS

[@manueljulianobando]

Excelente lección de como recuperar la motocicleta cuando caes en una subida, mil gracias por todo el conocimiento compartido.

[@csgodenver]

Nice work Sir thx for the video

[@Crazy-Chicken-Media]

well now, I kinda did it that way.... but all wrong and nothing like that... where was this video in July.... Great video keep it up guys!

[@maxmmpower]

mototrek rules! and dusty has the perfect name...

[@mikemaners4411]

Thank you very much from Montreal!

[@karlwebb8914]

Brilliant Dusty 👍 thanks so much for sharing 😃 cheers Karl in Oz 🇦🇺

[@got_to_roll]

Really helpful video! Good information well presented covering multiple scenarios. I appreciate it, thanks.

[@AIRMotovlogs]

Thanks Dusty....you just made it look so nice n easy with those smart moves & techniques..

[@vladimircelis6046]

Me encanta el canal las explicaciones ayudan mucho para empezar en el off road sin morir en el intento... gracias

[@rakeshenganti7741]

Insightful video. These are things that you learn only with experience. Keep riding and it will all make sense

[@brownies-midlifeadventure]

Awesome tips Dusty....

[@RamblingRuters]

A great technique as I had to learn this the hard way recently going up a hill bigger than this and dumped it, its hard to do this in a way when there isn’t any loose sand/dirt & digs in. I didn’t turn it around, stood it up & tried to get it up the hill by pushing it, I was tired as hell but I did it as I didn’t want to go back down into a sand wash. But this is much easier to do, have to take your time, also momentum is key, get down the hill & just ride it out.

[@ShallWeClimb]

Oh man! Fantastic tips preformed with the heaviest beast, to show it's fantastically doable on leaner bikes.

[@nomad5176]

It's good to remove helmet or jacket before any pulling and bike recovery.

[@Bardnuckle]

Thank you Dusty, great advise. Only wish I watched this before I had my fall. But that’s the fun of it, we learn by our mistakes...

[@west38moto53]

Yes we do! I have failed many times and once I learned this technique, the game of climbing tough hills totally changed for me. :-)

[@davidekelman5715]

Thank you for the lesson. Nice bike too!

[@MOTOTREK]

You bet!

[@RuledByMars]

Very cool to see that particular bike put thru this situation. GS 👍

[@ssanjibdeori1763]

Not just talking but going the extra mile to show how its done.. great guys !!!

[@MOTOTREK]

Thanks, Sann.

[@taz473]

Recently found this channel.i love it.

[@MOTOTREK]

Welcome aboard, Steven.

[@tincho1979]

Buen video Gracias Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

[@jeckyll71]

Love the video. I'd like to see a version where the hill isn't big wide and open, but maybe a 2 track where once you drop it you have some obstacles on the sides that complicate the recovery. Maybe to specific, but it would be greatly appreciated! Keep up these videos please, they're great!

[@828ADV]

Great video! Very thorough yet sole instruction that will prove valuable in the field. Awesome!!

[@MOTOTREK]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Dundertaker1]

Love you guys! Best videos on the subject out there!

[@MOTOTREK]

Thx, Dan.

[@transylvanianrider]

Excellent job, very well explainded! Thank you 🤘 I dropped my bike exactly like this.

[@MOTOTREK]

Glad you liked it!

[@iwasadeum]

Man, I was kind of nervous getting an adventure bike and using it off-road... But now I've watched a bunch of videos from you and RawHyde, and my nervousness about how capable these big bikes are off-road has gone away. Obviously it will take time and a lot of practice, but I don't think any trails near me will be a problem on this machine. Hopefully will be getting a 1250 GS Adventure on Saturday 😁

[@MOTOTREK]

Best of luck, AD.

[@steveg9863]

Key skills .. takes a lot more focus and slow-actions than a dirt bike, great tips!

[@kiwiadventurer]

so easy when you see things done right ... excellent video. Thanks

[@CrashOrFly]

Priceless! This is so incredibly helpful advice. Thank you so much.

[@fazerjohn]

A truly excellent article. Many thanks.

[@cplegrand]

Very good. I could have used this video earlier this summer.

[@advphilnb]

Thanks for the great short video! Very useful tips. Cheers!

[@RoadhawkVlogs]

You the best! Enough of tutorials watched but this video is never coming out of my head. Solid stuff!

[@Game-Over-U-Tube]

I immediately took mine out to the woods after purchasing and dropped it a bunch to get used to the wait and perfect my skills.

[@motoryzen]

"Weight".... Wait is a word dealing with time spend "waiting" on something Weight deals with gravity...how heavy or light something is. :P But legit, GOOD for for you!! As Greg Widmar from Motojitsu would say " Read all you want about something but until you practice it...it is meaningless. Shut up and Practice" and you did exactly that. Cheers.

[@bradleyalexander5821]

Very useful strategies for many predicaments. Very helpful in our pursuit of off-rode riding. Thanks again Guys.....👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎

Awesome advice. Thank you!

You bet, David.

[@ruiner88]

This would've been really useful to me back in August! I ended up picking my bike up and just continuing up the hill. Luckily the dirt was pretty hard packed, enough or my street-tired R9T Scrambler, to be able to gain traction .

[@guyfrawley9662]

Well done! Great illustration of the technique, thank you.

[@Jaffa1951]
