short legs don't always work on trail bikes 😂

[@googlecontrolled]

Short legs make a more skilled rider as he can't put easy dabs in with his feet.

[@lightweightadv]

That's absolutely what I told him...as he sat in the grassy bank with a bike in top of him 😂

[@oiludder]

That leg swing 😂😂 been there. Hilarious.

[@lightweightadv]

Proper comedy 😅

[@LITTLEbigREG]

Finding a trail bike when you've got short legs is a nightmare.

[@lightweightadv]

Yep 😂

[@markeverson5849]

Go online and find Old School motorcycles! your feet will touch the ground on pretty much all of them!japs think we all 6,6 and 245!!

[@Bthast62]

Brilliant. Good.

[@Breadstick783]

This is true I ride a 85 Ktm first time riding it on a blue square which is not easy I went down a 2 foot slant

[@lightweightadv]

😂😅

[@GSXRI300]

[@lightweightadv]

@@GSXRI300 it is mate! Don't wait, go and try it 😎

[@Reids-Rides]

Who moved the ground!? That leg wiggle...fekkin hilarious 🤣

[@lightweightadv]

😂😂

[@dangareau]

I swear I heard " Go, Go Gadget leg"

[@lightweightadv]

And it didn’t work! 😂

[@steveh100]

Good filming lol, I was out the weekend with some good riders, and dropped it .... a few times let's say, but was not caught on camera so it doesn't count.... my new fear is ruts on grassy trails... I blame the tyres lol

[@lightweightadv]

😅 If nobody saw it or recorded it, it didn't happen, fact

[@budda10r]

The struggle is real!

[@lightweightadv]

😂

[@browneyejoe143]

I feel bad for laughing his short leg wiggling in the air trying to reach the ground.😂😂sorry!!!

[@lightweightadv]

😂 no worries, I’ve had to live with this issue all my life! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

[@MrPX207]

I'm always doing that at 5'5'' 😂

[@lightweightadv]

😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mrshadeshady]

His legs are fine, that’s an uneven ground situation. You could be 6’6” and get burned by those situations. Skill, balance and awareness are more important than long legs.

[@lightweightadv]

Haha yes agreed unfortunately I am not sure I have quite enough skill balance or awareness either 😂

[@markeverson5849]

That's what's wrong with these bikes that are so tall your feet don't touch the ground which makes them a menace for slow trail riding with a heavy load or not but to really go slow and Scout the area out there a menace

[@lightweightadv]

Hey Mark, yeah they certainly don’t make the job any easier for the more vertically challenged that’s for sure

[@kilnmoto]

Certainly been in that situation more than once.

[@lightweightadv]

Lol, it happens to us all 😅🤦🏻‍♂️

[@GSXRI300]

Mcdonalds written all over it

[@lightweightadv]

😂

[@stephanosuk78]

Wouldn't have mattered if his legs were 8" longer he was never getting that dip.

[@Bowlin01]

I know that feeling

[@lightweightadv]

Can't be helped though, eh 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@lightweightadv right....unless my experimentation with The Rack pays off 😂🤣🤣

You need some Elton John boots mate! 😉😂. You get 5.8 for that one👍

[@lightweightadv]

Yes! the next thing on the kit list! 😂

[@carvalhonj]

This is me🤣 short legs guy

[@lightweightadv]

🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

[@andrewhamilton-gill]

Been there, done that, got the bruises,

[@lightweightadv]

It happens more frequently you'd think, right?! 😅

[@Jack-yl7cc]

Looks like they just ran out of skill rather than it having anything to do with the length of their legs. If you want to know what a really skilled and yet short rider can do then look up Gaston Rahier; he was only 1.64m / 5'3" tall.

[@lightweightadv]

I think my riding has a combination of both of these aspects tbh 😂 Brill, I will check them out thanks 👍

[@maxtaylor7533]

Do you ride?

[@Jack-yl7cc]

@@maxtaylor7533 Yes and for this kind of stuff at the slow speed they are going; Trials training would help a lot. Besides learning how to load the suspension to get over obstacles the Trials training would help with their sense of balance so they wouldn't need to put a foot down just because they momentarily came to a stop. Balance training doesn't have to be restricted to only while on a motorcycle either, there are a lot of good suggestions out there for how to train your balance specifically for motorcycle riding. Yoga, Tai Chi or similar slow movement exercises are also very helpful.

[@maxtaylor7533]

@@Jack-yl7cc , Nice! I never gave it a second thought that coming to red lights and trying to balance while waiting for the green was beneficial! 😄
