[@johnhernandez6434]

Absolutely amazing. I’m a street rider who grew up on dirt bikes, but to do it on a bike like yours is impressive. Stay safe and stay blessed.

[@JReed305]

What I love is your level of humility and determination. When I was still teaching the Total Control Basic Course here in SoCal I would always tell my students that there is no room in a helmet for pride, but all the room in the world for humility and willingness to learn. You demonstrate that big time!

[@quadimus]

I am 6'1" and 200 lbs and I don't know that I would have the courage to do what you ladies did! Simply put ,the only size that matters is the size of your determination. I am completely in awe of what you are willing to take on ! You are an inspiration and I would LOVE to train with Jocelin. But what to do about that courage thing? 🙂 You go girls!!!

[@michaelrheiner2415]

Congrats on a great experience. My wife and I are late to riding (mid-50’s) and loving doing so on our Triumphs (Bobber for her, T120 for me), but really want to get a Tiger. Got our oldest daughter learning to ride who is equally challenged in the height department, and your example and lessons are perfect for my bride and our daughter. I’ve been watching the channel for about 2 years now…congrats on taking a chance, betting on yourself, and building a brand and business. You really should be proud of what you’ve accomplished both on a bike and in business.

[@bagman964]

Hey Doodle, just thought I'd let you know how much of an inspiration you are with videos like these. Coming from someone who isn't fully confident in their riding skills, to see you feel the same way and then conquer those fears and improving your skills is amazing. You're taught me a lot with these videos about perseverance how just how much self confidence matters. Keep doing what you're doing

[@GregIsAFan]

It's so wonderful to see amazing young women getting involved in motorcycling and being so enthusiastic about learning and improving their skills and supporting each other. Brilliant!

[@bdizzle194]

As a beginning rider I jumped to bigger and heavier bikes as quick as I could. Now I'm going back to lighter bikes. To anyone learning and we ALL are learning, it's FAR cheaper and easier to learn how to do this stuff on a dual sport. If you're afraid of your bike its a good indication that you've skipped ahead too quickly. If you think you need a giant bike for adventure look at Itchy Boots and what a small bike can do. I am having more fun on a DR650 than I did on Vstrom 1000 and Tiger 1200. YMMV.

[@MartyrDK]

Doodle you are brave strong and a super skilled rider. Keep up the good work. Ride safe

[@seanrenshaw6546]

I have been riding doe 40 years and have taken several MSF classes and done a bunch of parking lot refresher work. Your dedication to the craft is amazing! Best of luck in your future rides and road trips!

[@alejandrollamas692]

Love those dance moves 😆 Girls can ride...

[@jcrewguy123]

Mega Props! Jocelin is a terrific coach - while I'm a road and track rider, I'd love to train ADV riding with her after seeing your experience! Props again to you two!

[@patrickmeylemans9627]

Ladies, one word RESPECT !!!! I was applauding over here, this is what most man are not capable of.

[@SuperAwesomeJared]

Been watching your videos for a little less than a year after buying my adv. bike. This one is so far my favorite. (My previous favorite was the one about doing a gazillion u-turns). You're making killer progress and I'm inspired to get out on my bike and drill more of this stuff like you do so I can be a better rider. I'm excited to see your next videos.

[@offroadqueen228]

That course looks awesome! Thanks for inspiring us short girls to ride big bikes!

[@fallinginthed33p]

Shorter guys too. I'll probably stay away from a huge GS but the smaller Tiger looks nice.

[@rodgerbell810]

WOW Carolin, you had a ‘barrell’ of fun on this trip. Thanks for showing us newbies that one can do anything if they are willing to learn. Cheers ✌️🏍️💜

[@nixquejada9906]

I love how it's just like going through the experience and you could feel them feel excited about all the obstacles.

[@williamlawlor4637]

Your courage to learn such difficult skills on a large adventure bike is amazing and then to allow others to watch. Keep up your courage.

[@jonakers704]

The blind riding part is no joke a good lesson to learn. You never know when you are suddenly going to be blinded and need to just keep your cool while you get yourself into a safe place. I was once riding in South Carolina on a country road, passed under a tree reaching over the road and BAM! Instant white-out! I killed something like 10,000 small bugs that were hovering under the tree, my screen on my helmet went instantly white, and I couldn't see anything outside of the inside of my helmet. I kept my cool, applied brakes to come to a smooth stop, flipped up the visor, got off the road, and cleaned up.

[@tjs201971]

I would like to say thank you both for sharing amazing training session! I laugh and cheering both you on! Joshlyn is amazing !!! Thank you again!!! 👏👏👏

[@williamstreet4304]

I helped Doodle a few years ago. To see her today is just amazing! Doodle, you have grown so much in such a short time. I'm impressed.

[@Phil4013]

Inspired. Last year I had a really rough time on my 690 Enduro R. Really got in my head that my buddies were telling me it was too big for the trails and stuff… well there was one trail I’m glad I didn’t ride. But I had a crap time because I really thought it was too big for me. This just shows me yet again that it’s all in my head. Awesome!

[@AdventuresonZero]

Nice! There are two types of riders - strong ones, and smart ones! I just finished taking Bret Tkacs course over the weekend, such an awesome time and I learned that adv riding takes A LOT of skill, especially mental skill, to master. A lot of the techniques seem counterintuitive at first, but boy oh boy do they work!🤣I found that if I'm getting tired, it's because I'm trying to fight against something instead of leverage it to work for me. Would love to take my Livewire down to Jocelin's ranch to pick up some additional skills. Great vid!

[@TubeClift]

This is your BEST video so far! Really fun!

[@sonny9608]

Doodle understands the meaning of interesting, original content.

[@colinhealy4437]

It's very good to see how much all of you were enjoying the training and the camaraderie that's evident in the videos. Well done and stay safe and keep the videos coming.

[@jameskiehm546]

Awesome video Doodle! Throttle control is probably the hardest to perfect and you definitely improved from the beginning to end and you were able to ride your bike home!

[@klinancy]

What a great video! It's great to see you willing to share your mishaps and your positive attitude. It gives rookies like me a little more courage to keep trying and keep practicing.

[@elizabethwonders]

Just awesome!! I love your “Never give up!” Attitude! You did it! You are an inspiration! Such impressive skills here! Would you agree that being in Martial Arts has helped you? I’d say Heck Yes!! Id love to see you train with a long time Motor Cop! I’m not sure who that would be, but I’m sure someone on your channel would know of someone. Thanks again for sharing your amazing journey with us!!! You Rock!!! ❤️❤️😊🔥👏🏻👍

[@jerrymorales6501]

Doodle..... THIS WAS YOUR BEST VIDEO to date. It took me back to my intro to adventure days class. I will add that yours had more obstacles. You did great, especially on the Tiger 900. I have the 850 sport mainly because of the height, After watching you, I'm kind of jelly because I could have gotten the 900....LoL. As for picking the bikes up, you did awesome. It's no joke picking up a dropped bike, especially out in the the woods. In your defense, the BMW has side jugs, so technically it is easier to pick up as it is already in a 45 degree angle when leaned over. ;-), so you picking up your bike was actually harder because it sits over lower when leaned over. So props to you. Looks like you all had a great time and I know you learned quite a bit. Keep up the adventure, especially when you are out of your comfort zone.

[@troykauffman3963]

Absolutely great job ladies, you a’ll are amazing. I love the fact that you never give up after dropping your bike and continue to push forward and practice and learn. 👏👏👏👏 Great job by Jocelin on coaching you guys.

[@freeidaho-videos]

Doodle, you have a great attitude, and that makes you invincible. A lifestyle of learning, testing and pushing past your boundaries will make you one of the most capable and fun to be around riders. I love you "100 times for a month" challenges. No one anywhere is doing this. You go ! ! ! If you really want to learn the basics of motorcycle control, train on an observed trials bike. No that isn't a typo, trials.

[@TravelPhuket]

Amazing Video!! Thank you! I only wish it had been much longer! The best!

[@arjankroonen4319]

I love the "I can ******* DO THIS" Doodle.... Such positive energy. Great video and very very well done on the riding. And Jocelin is amazing. Pity she's on the other side of the pond from me.

[@AnomadAlaska]

Great video. Thank you for taking your time to put it together. A good day trip is my favorite. But it's all good. Pedal bikes/motor bikes/on road/off road. I just like a good ride. Shout out to MAD TV aka @MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV. It would be cool if you could do a collaboration with Dave. I'm in the USA, but you and MAD TV are the two moto channels I find most interesting.

[@NRALifeMbr]

Great job! Love watching your confidence grow. Loads of fun.

[@wernerschellekens2913]

Very nicely done.. for the training.. you can always do the wall sit challenge... But even without you are doing great. Ty for sharing this journey

[@tchazgo]

Hi Ryan for sharing real life experiences on motorcycle, it’s been a pleasure seeing progress every post. Idk if someone have tried sharing this but when u were lifting the bike try not seating much on, instead use the upper part of your hips at lower corner of the bike seat, that way you switch some of the weight to your legs instead of just using your arms. Besides that I’m pretty jealous to see how good rider you becoming, ride safe.

[@slayerarrow]

You really are a trooper. I am an old man and have ridden for 45 years and would not try some of the stuff you do! good luck with your adventures.

[@aaronsmith9106]

I think going to the gym and working out with strength training would be both beneficial to your overall health and also aid in being able to pick your bike up no matter what scenario you’re in. You can already do it but if you train some good technique on deadlifts, back squat, and weighted lunges it would help considerably. Working on grip strength and core would be even better. I’m sure you’ve heard this, but strength and technique is the ultimate answer.

[@PetrolJunkie]

Awesome job. Those obsticles are more technical than what most people that ride ADV bikes off road ever tackle. They design ADV bikes to be dropped. Honestly, I wouldn't be worried about it. Scratches crash guards are like dents in an old pick up, their badges of honor.

[@jamesjordan6561]

I am both impressed and inspired. Thank you!

[@VeteranBiker]

Send it! Good seeing the travels, we need to do another livestream and talk about your journeys.

[@trippontwowheels]

Nice! It’s good to see you continually working on your skills.

[@PTE1957]

This may seem trivial but where did you get your Triumph Motorcycles, long sleeve shirt?

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

At my local dealership

[@puneeth8077]

Awesome good job and inspiring 👍. I do most of my adventure riding on a 2012 tiger 800 in north Georgia. Hope to see you on the FS Roads here. From duke to tiger 900 rally pro that's an awesome trajectory.

[@lonely_trans_girl]

That was so awesome! Thank you ❤️ The 3 of you together is the best thing ever to me! I love your dedication and determination, Amandas wanderlust and Jocelins insane skill. My version of a super hero collaboration ❤️🏍️🥳

[@SneakyFastAdventures]

I loved this video! It made me laugh and cry and want to go to riding school at the ranch! Alas, these old bones would probably not survive unbroken, so I will have to enjoy watching you do all the fun stuff 😄 I'm so glad you have created these opportunities for yourself and inspire other young women. I can't wait to see the next adventure!

[@ALICATMOTO]

Awesome video Doodle! I have to say, I think your editing skills just keep getting better. This was so well done and looked like a lot of fun. I hope you can get the mud stains out of your gear.

[@brimmed]

This looks like an amazing class. Right now I ride an MT07 so gotta remember it whenever I get around to picking up an adventure bike

[@markmanning5683]

Your Training and Trips are fantastic, good for you. You have great memories now. I use to ride decades ago, don't anymore for many reasons. Today's world on the roads is too unpredictable, too many drivers distractions. I am a retired LEO, part of my duties was being a Traffic Crash Reconstructionist. The numbers of MC Fatalities was very high. Some were the riders, many were too many other vehicles on the road without any consideration for others. Watching some of your videos on the Interstate are a perfect example. A good friend of mine retired from the P.D. in 2021, he was away from the P.D. for maybe 6 months. He was out with his wife on a early summer ride, while only 4 miles away from his home a Pickup Truck disregarded his right of way, pulled out in front of him at 55 mph. I'm sure he only had the chance to say "Oh ****" and impact. He and he wife were severely injured. Flown to a Level One Hospital and with in a week they were placed into the same room and taken off life support and passed away together. Local Prosecutor recused himself from the case. Outside the County Prosecutor decided "No Charges for the Truck Driver" "Just an Accident".... No such thing as a Accident, they are Caused Occurrences. Lack of Attention and Failure of Right of Way killed my friends. Large SIgn at the Intersection where they lost their lives. No justice for this Retired Police Officer and his Wife. May the Law of averages be on your side, enjoy your experiences and always Stay Safe.

[@pabloclark3332]

The barrel wrap is an awesome skill building tool

[@WestsideCruisers]

Good job! What a great experience to learn stuff like that. Just makes you more confident. Good job!

[@jasonallen6406]

That was awesome! Great job! Looks like a lot of fun!

[@pipersall6761]

Boy Joselyn is great isnt she? Such a good coach with super skill and lots of smiles and encouragement. And you did great too. Im starting riding again after 29 years off and your videos give me real hope I can do it again and do it well. Thank you and keep up the awesome work!

[@stanleyroberts4381]

That looked like so much fun!! I know how hard it is to pick a bike up, I've had to pick my road king up on my gravel drive,and I weigh 153,and 70 yrs young

[@isidroavila72]

That was awesome you always make my day better is very refreshing, we all need to take this training should help improve confidence in or street riding that dance was funny !🤣

[@kembaraimpian4384]

I'm a motorcross enduro rider and I salute you girls for encouraging other's i really enjoy your videos keep it up

[@FrankLeblanc]

I'm transitioning from street to Adventure next year. Definitely going to get some proper Adventure training.. it's a different ball game for sure! Good work!

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Hi Doodle, it's official now. With the photo of you riding your Triumph Tiger atop that blue car. You are now a better M/C Rider than I am. I've never done that feat of skill before. As is often shouted in unison upon the streets of Kyoto, Japan: " Hey! "

[@michaeldobson8859]

I love the Doodle Stuff. It’s on my phone it’s on my I Pad. It’s on my boat and my big screen TV. It follows me everywhere. 😂. Keep on Doodle stuffing us we love it. I do have one comment. I think learning to fall and ride on the edge should begin on dirt bikes. Low siding, high siding, jumping and learning to wheely with confidence can only be properly learned on the edge and over the edge on a non intimidating bike. 450 lb bikes are intimidating on the edges of control. The J Ranch structure limits the intimidation factor and limits the range of the challenge and that’s all good. 🏍️

[@motopicnic]

Doodle! Kudos on this video. Really inspiring. I have short ladies in my life who are learning to ride (you can see Becky on our videos) but this was EXACTLY what she needed to see today. 💪 Awesome!! We may plan a trip out to Snow Ranch. I hope we cross paths on the road someday. If so, lunch is on us - Andy & Becky 👍

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

Yessssss!!

[@tobytrucker1]

Pure Awesomeness !!! Lucky me, I found your channel thru Amandas channel. And I saw Jocelin on one of the BDR videos. Three lil ladies who are big badasses !! Much respect.

[@SK-kj9wu]

Love watching your videos. Very down to earth, you show many situations that we face in the real world...mistakes, hurdles, celebrations, etc. Thank you for that!!

[@sganzerlag]

Doodle, thanks for sharing this. I had a blast watching this video, and I can tell you had fun making it. That being said, why not give a lighter bike a try? Something like a KTM 390 Adventure, for example. You might find yourself having even more fun if the bike is a better fit for your body type. Or perhaps you might find that you like the Triumph better off road. Who knows! But it might be worth a try. Anyways, I can't wait for the next chapter in this series. Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

Yes I’m gonna stick to lighter bikes for off-roading whenever I can for a while… unless I do a class with Jocelin 🤪

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

That looks like an amazing course. Good job. Y’all are seriously fearless. Good for y’all.

[@DBartWest]

So much fun. Well done Carolyn. Loved this video.

[@Eaglelevel100]

This video will get 100k views, as it should! You are the only person to test (and prove) Triumph’s claim that the GT PRO can handle off road obstacles! And the falls between those obstacles. 😂 Note to all: crash bars are supposed to give in a little with each fall, otherwise all the force of the fall gets delivers your bikes frame. But it seems you always fall to the left, to the left😊 Thanks for showing your trials and “triumphs.”

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

I got some right side drops too 🤪 just not in this video

[@gforcepowersports]

This came out great!! What a fun weekend! Thanks for having me along. Come put those skills to the test in Colorado with us!

[@ladyjrider666]

Absolutely cheered you and Amanda on! Fantastic to see different obstacles. 👏 well done!

[@fairbanksjp]

Incredible training and confidence building. That would be an amazing experience!

[@wernerxldata]

Impressed by both you and the course ❤ As for myself, raced motocross for years, did some enduro, supermoto and trial. I would never pick such heavy big bikes for off-roading. In my opinion 45hp is more than enough and weight, yeah, as light as possible 😂 I know you can do a lot on a big bike but it's so easy and more playful to do it on a enduro bike 🎉 But as said, brilliant how you handled that and great respect for the teacher, part of this is technique and a great part of this is the confidence to try. I actually would love to try something like this, it seems a lot of fun.

[@metaldreams3595]

One of the best things to practice even for experienced riders who've never done it, is Throttle/Traction. Thats what I call it and its something I picked up from race drivers. How they maintain grip and traction going through corners and its the same way riders stay up. They do the opposite of what people do when unsure. Human nature is to let OFF the throttle whenever were unsure. How many times have you seen someone fail when loading a bike in a truck using a ramp and they fall over before they get to the bed? What did they do wrong? Let off the gas. And these are guys who ride bikes! Starting off at slow speeds in a parking lot, focus on how giving it throttle pushes you through turns and turning. Practice giving it slow, steady throttle while turning instead of letting off the gas. Yes you will be going fater than if you let off but you will stay up and it will build your confidence. Find a back roads place to ride and have that same focus approaching curves. You'll quickly learn that applying throttle is actually your friend and no offense to our lovely Doodle here but every time we see her drop her bike its for not applying throttle.

[@savagefrieze4675]

Total respect. Can’t wait for episode 3 “unfinished business”

[@keaneu4456]

Great job Carolin, that is a tough course and you go out there and tackle it like a boss. Also great job on picking up that heavy bike. Hope you go back and tackle that course again. 🏍️

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

well done Doodle and Magpie, those are heavy big machines, great to see you overcoming your fears and doubts and pushing your boundaries out with regards to your riding, you can only get better from training and mistakes. Well done Ladies xoxox

[@kennyjac]

Uh oh. I am just about to get my license and first bike... and i already want to make a goal of getting to a point where i could take a class with Jocelin 😅 This is so inspiring!

[@ericd701]

You are unstoppable! You did amazing!

[@alanevans5353]

It's a lot of fun watching this kind of stuff for me because I'm 6 foot and 200 pounds but right now my main rider is a Honda trail 125. Really cool to see you doing this.

[@R2robot]

That looks like so much fun! Scary! But fun!

[@ADVBrett]

Mate this is AWESOME!!! I wish we had this here in Australia!! You guys NAILED it!!! Well done!!

[@kurtmeehan1544]

As always, working hard to be better. Good job. Ride safe. Kurt

[@ARweZombiesYet]

Made my day and feel pretty cool seeing that strap around your front brake. Keep it up doodle!

[@seaninness334]

That looks so fun. I would love the chance to do that class on an ADV. ❤ I can't think of a class for you to do next but maybe a tour with a challenging level of difficulty with a guide. I'm sure Amanda would know of something along those lines. Previously, I think Amanda was held back a bit because her Honda 500X isn't as hardy as the Africa Twi. Or your Tiger. I'm looking forward to your content on the Tiger and Amanda on the AT.

[@stk0308]

Looks like a great experience. Keep learning that fun stuff.

[@kennethcalimpong7919]

Hi Doodle on a Motorcycle, really enjoyed this amazing video, that was so empowering, fun and scary at times. Amazing riding skills in display, loved the Dance off at the end! Aloha & take care, Kenneth 🤙🏽

[@reggie368]

Hey Doodle ! You rock ! Can't wait for episode 3 ! Cheers ! 😀

[@erichill5206]

I like the training you did, but do you think you can elaborate on the some of the techniques used in this video? That being said, I really enjoyed the video and I’ve said this before, your story telling is really good. Keep up the good work!

[@AJMoto87]

Great job! What a cool class!

[@iainf6]

Fantastic video Carolyn 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 both of you did so great 👍🏻😉

[@richardgitz2264]

One of your best, thank you, never quit!

[@arwenphoenix1]

Excellent job, Doodle!! I was actually yelling "Go, go, do, don't weaken!" At my phone when you were picking up Jocelin's bike 😅

[@toportime]

That looked like an awesome confidence building exercise.

[@thomasb53]

Well done! That’s some pretty BA stuff Doodle!

[@erniecolussy1705]

I love the closing disclaimer. And of course the rest of the video.

[@basbastian2998]

Doodle! Amazing! And in (huge) part by your videos, I had 2 weeks ago, my first all-road training. And I'm hooked. Thanks for that!

[@stewarts8597]

as scary as it is it just looks like so much fun. I'm envious, The helmet light is a brilliant idea

[@paulbrinker4973]

Well done Dooble. You made that look easy and fun. Ride safe.

[@brucegerken1063]

Great video thank you very well done. Two of my favorite girls doing there thing thanks again cheers to ya.

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

P.S. I've seen you do it before, Doodle. The aspect of the Brake-Free Taillight that I like so much is that it functions with or without an M/C. While on foot or on a bike.

[@MotorvriendenDePallieters]

Nice to see that you are working more and more on your skills👌 . Always beautiful videos 👍
