Love the canola fields!!!

When it gets slippery like that, I often test the traction by slightly spinning the rear wheel when the bike is in an upright position in a straight line. That way you are always aware of what you are dealing with. Do that especially before a turn.

[@No.Mad.Ness24]

Thx for the advice ! Will do that next time ... Did however feel like the back was sliding most of the time. However, I really enjoyed it to be honest. I didn't feel out of control, just dropped my pace and it turned out to be a ton of fun ! Awesome to get to know your bike in different terrain.

[@No.Mad.Ness24]

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch

[@tothebackofbeyond]

Yeah the rains make those particular gravel roads super slippery and one has to pay good attention to the conditions especially on two wheels. Good episode!

[@No.Mad.Ness24]

Yeah that is super true ! But it's basically just managing your center of gravity and just dial back the pace and all will be good

[@skulijakobsson5116]

Hi Paul, See you commented on a couple videos, I'm gonna reply kind of to all of them here if that's all good. Firstly thank you for watching the channel I really appreciate it Then I have 3 straps with me, plus a 5m webbing strap for towing etc ... Great piece of kit. I love ratchet straps just really happy with the straps i have at the moment. Then bike actually weighs about 170 kg. I'm busy replacing the front end which also shed about 5-10 kgs ... so bike feels nice and light. The whole reason why I took the XT, what a weapon ! Water - I have got a 2L bladder in my back pack Fuel bladder - thing got stolen High vis clothing, something I really have thought about. just already have a lot kit ( airbagvest ). So then when adding another layer it just really gets much. Generally stick to riding in the day if it is in my control. Also why I have Aux lights and the orange light cover. Also added an additional brake light at the rear to improve visibility In terms of the mic, the air vents are a bit tight, but I use the wind curtain to kind of snug the cable in place, but still playing around with my setup. Literally doing this the whole time. always trying to improve the setup. I had sponge grips on my 800gs that I had, great and comfy, just really didn't like them when they got wet. Also replaced the grips at some point with what a local bike shop had. But yeah generally don't struggle with gripping the bars. Did a lot mountain biking and lot of downhills. Taught myself not to death grip there. But yeah always open to suggestions ! so keep them coming ! Normally hydrate when I get off the bike to setup the drone and camera for drive byes. Normally finish two liters for the day. But thank you for concerning over it. It is a very important factor. Sand riding is actually something that I enjoy, also feel that as soon as you have that mindset change it really helps. Because when you get it right then it literally feels like magic. It is such an strange sensation to float on the sand ... really lovit ! Again thx for watching the channel, I'm a bit stuck at the moment so hence the pause in uploads but hopefully this weekend I will be rolling again. Really excited for the next episode, really going into a beautiful part of country
