Stuck in the sand BMW GS

[@jerrydurst9137]

The tip'n'swivel move saved my bacon today! I was riding in really tacky mud on a Jeep trail and got kicked sideways. Ended up high-centered on the mound between the jeep tracks so my front was in one rut and my rear was in the other. I remembered watching this video about a month ago and put it to practice. Worked perfectly! Thank you SO much!

[@andresilveirah]

Thanks Clinton, I've watched some of your videos before a video and this one specifically on how to get out of mud (by laying the bike on the ground) saved me from being stuck in the mountains :)

[@PiotrstrashcanŚmietnikPiotra]

That first technique was brilliant!

[@250bladeking]

Hi Clinton Smouth... really useful video for a dual purpose rookie like me... I'm using a Suzuki Vstrom 650 ABS and from Malaysia. Fantastic! Thanks!!

[@bryanjudefernandez2195]

hello fellow malaysia. im riding dtm from demak .

[@alt9874]

Thanks for that tip Clinton, your first strategy helped me get out of a deep wet muddy rut last weekend in some woodland trails in Brockville, Ontario on my Africa Twin. Keep up the great videos, I'm thinking about trying your school.

[@willsymmondsfarmandhomerea7377]

Thx Clinton, I really enjoyed this how-to. I ride a Tiger 955i and laid it down on a flinthills oil road in rural KS a few weeks back. I went down against an uphill slope & still fought much harder trying to stand mine up. I've watched that pick up at the end a sev times & I'll definitely change my technique if I ever have to lift it again! Thanks so much!

[@rockyhorror2180]

Cant believe there's another 955 Tiger in the Flint Hills!

[@coneheadkevin3292]

5 years later - still an awesome way to get out of sugar sand

[@ibrahimhamd1955]

Thanks, Clinton and Amanda

Heavy bike is one thing, but skills are soooooo important!

[@superwout]

Hi Clinton, I'm learning a lot from you. I recently bought my follow up bike; a KTM 1190. It is very nice to me as it takes me out for a spin. I'm looking forward to the day it will be the other way around but for the moment I'm just happy to get home alive and in one piece.

[@superwout]

but seriously; I have a steeeeeep learning curve ahead with my orange beast and the thought of leaving the paved roads at this point seems suicidal. I'm considering buying a light, inexpensive dual-sport to practice off-road; WR250R, DRZ 400, XT 250, XR 250 , I suppose 150kg and 250 to 400cc will be better to learn off-road than 230 kg and 1190 cc

[@superwout]

greetings from Belgium

[@i4004]

trying to remember if 125cc 2-stroke enduro taught me anything about 200kg+ bike, and....huhm.... you could start with lighter and easier unpaved roads etc. carefull with throttle and front brake there, that's most important. and also, if you're not too sure, you can stop and check (on foot), and then go back if you dislike that terrain.

[@toltod]

Always you have the best tips. Thank you!

[@rosalvojr2095]

I'm learning from you here in Brazil. Fantastic! Thank you.

[@bettergenius]

Hi Clinton This vid is very helpful for me as I have a heavy Triumph 1200 XCA bike and I tried to take to a beach yesterday and it just dug it self in. You make it so easy I will try this when I get to some sand :D

[@AndrewBoundy]

Genius - wish I had seen this 3 days ago when I was up to my axels in sand :)

[@GiveWayMotovlog]

one of the best training videos

[@MartinFarrelly2000]

Great videos Clinton. Thanks for posting. Love the real life scenarios and the practical advice.

[@kabj06]

Was in this exact situation the other day. Took the hard way out and deadlifted the back end out of the sand. Guess my gym membership paid off lol never once did I think to just tip it over and pick up back up in a different spot

[@Paul49myspace]

Great tips Clinton! Sure wish we had time to cover that part in my course in early Aug, Even practicing the lifting technics would have been good.. But over all the 800 Was a blast to drive. Loved the power delivery of it.

[@D-Imagine]

Clinton you are the best! Thanks for sharing

[@Ronbassettphd]

Never found you before and you rock!

[@oldmanpottering]

Great riding tips ! Well done and thanks for sharing

[@lafotoediruiz5938]

[@corpuswow]

Thanks for the great tips!

[@evgeniybeschastnov4627]

Awesome videos, very useful. Thank you!

[@motodxb]

awesome, i'm sure that'll come in handy as i live in Dubai.

[@MindBodySoulOk]

Just heard the news. RIP Clinton Smout

[@runtodaddy]

I got stuck in the sand yesterday. Worse it was in a ditch. The first method worked for me. It took about 50-60 back and forths to get it out of there though 😂

[@McCoy1978]

I would love to have this courage to throttle in sand like you. Great!

[@gianluciano]

get out and train! It's very simple. Entrenamiento es lo mas importante cuando tu hay que manejar una moto

[@thetrumanshowaborjin9607]

You are really good. Thanks a lot

[@wildone2163]

there is one more way, simpler then tipping over. lean the bike a bit left and right few times and the hole will get filled with sand allowing to ride through.

[@TheDesertsweeper]

Haha "and then ride out" :) ...so you got stuck there in the first place and if it's really soft sand, its likely that you will just bury it again. With two people, get the assistant to help with a shove off, especially if you are facing an incline. If you are on your own and it's talcum powder - stand next to the bike and give it a push as you let go of the clutch. Either walk it to firmer ground or if you quick and confident, mount up "on the go" (Mount a horse-style). My two cents worth...

[@vincesk8er971]

it sounds spectacular

[@ahmedsawed7333]

Thanks man you videos are helpful

[@brjgtm2011]

Dude u awesome ... u dont look rider bur u are PS rider in my country is who is technical ridee

[@kezjones8206]

Any tips for short women like me? I could never lift my bike like that

[@robertrousseaux1059]

Watch a Dakar rider do the lay down method about 5 years ago. I thought "damn do I feel dumb ..."

[@missing1person]

this wet sand is nothing like dry sand in the Sahara, it's much easier to cut through wet sand.

[@jeepcompassnooffroad9742]

You a suck good rider,I’m watching yours videos from Brazil,good tips

[@AlainBANKAI]

Amanda needs to chill the flip out, Smout has this

[@nightmare8162]

i buried my dirtbike bad lol got a video of it on my channel if your interested

[@lillieann1346]

What if you don't have a clutch?

[@gur262]

I just learned how to park my bike on sand.

[@grahamball364]

Very smart thanks

[@GSXRI300]

a nice clip there clinton with out the bullshite nice one steve

[@winsky]

Hi Clinton Smout. What is that helmet you are wearing? Model and Brand?

[@clintonsmout1130]

Arai xd2

[@szabolcsfejer1338]

nobody seen what dangerous stunt Amanda pulled in the background?? I did the same on pavement, I was holding handlebar with one hand, squatted, and was looking how nice the exhaust manifold is red hot. and the bike was stronger, and I had to let go, it fell the other way. Here ok, that the side stand was down (I had it up), but when Amanda squatted down holding the bike with one hand, the bike easily could have fallen in her direction, and she wouldn't been able to stop it, side stand would just go through sand. No? and the bike was on a hill sideways.

[@ronenfe]

actually on sand the bike can stand on it's own without any stands. but she shouldn't bend like that anyway so close to it.

[@jacosmith1129]

Getting on a heavy loaded bike

[@kanan360]

great tip, thanks :-)

[@Fixstern16]

of course you getting out without this wiggling story and the same powerfull throttle turning

[@Thanapat267]

Wow!😯

[@slawomirgoleniak]

This vide does not show reality, cause you will never stick in stand goind down this is first, on flat first method will work, second very time consuming to, but most riders get stuck going uphill

[@ronenfe]

Exactly, then you will need to lay it down , rotate it backwards and go downhill. And you will be without any energy after that.

[@timeofyourlife7561]

1:31 grabs hand full of front brake. Dont ride like this guy if you 1000 km nowhere

Ride a KTM...spares u the time on how to on youtube.

How to get your motorcycle unstuck from mud / sand? Step 1: Don't buy such a heavy motorcycle.

[@andreyaleksandrov537]

Step 2: Look at Step 1

[@mabrokenleg2388]

@@andreyaleksandrov537 way more fun blasting through the sand and up hills with 125 hp than with 15... rode a hillclimb with 70% gradient and loose stones last week and felt like i was the king of the world. you don't get that type of satisfaction, when you just roll up it on a 200cc beta... they have their place, but this is just more fun. at the point, where riding a ktm 300 exc makes fun, you are on the verge of killing yourself. with a 1200 gs you just have to ride into the next forest... rode 3000km last week, 50% offroad. wouldn't want to do that on a drz 400 as well...

[@mithunkartha]

Leave the bike. Go buy a new one.

It's not gas. It's a liquid fuel.

It's short for gasoline.

The best way not to stuck BMW Adventure in the sand is to not buy BMW Adventure.

[@clintonsmout1130]

thanks rohan, great tip! One issue with being off the bike when getting it off is that it is harder to pull back on the bars just before launching. The other issue is once you are out if you stop in deep sand to get back on ..... you are stuck again! I think I will add your way to the way I teach it just so, riders have a choice which will work in different stuck situations.
