soft terrain

Best riding tutorial's on the internet. A professional that knows what he is talking about and gets to the point.

Excellent. I just bought a new CRF300L Rally and rode some sand just last weekend. My performance was just awful, but I am beginning to see the light. Thx much for these great tips!

[@toltod]

You have the best advise on the internet for riding. I remember how awkward first riding sand was, now I'm lots more comfortable...maybe not much better, but you have to let the front wheel dance a bit. And brakes are usually not necessary when in sand...that's when you chop throttle.

Clinton is so much easier to listen to and down to earth than old mate “get my helmet off and get a hat on”. Great tips.

[@Tax2Me]

Details. Details. Details. All good. All worth repeating. Never forget riding a bicycle in the beach. Add a motor and do the same over and over. All the time. Thanks man. Best worth saying tips

Hi Clinton, thank you for the great advice! Went on a longer off-road ride for the first time last week, two-up at that, and the lessons I learned from your videos saved my bacon on a sandy section I encountered. Thank you very much once again!

[@jonathanluse2400]

Thank you! New adventure rider here and this was very helpful!

[@oosteveo315]

Love the egg thing. Great way to put it! WE RIDE WITH OUR LEGS, not with our hands ;)

[@Bovrinox]

Braarp! Braarp! heehee brilliant! Your vids are great man, keep em comin!

[@oosteveo315]

I like the brap brap too! You can't ask someone to hold onto the throttle on the entire time lol. WHen it gets squirrely, add gas!

[@57beanyboy]

Great teacher that Clinton Smout

[@bikerworld2471]

Thank for all this great videos. I'm absolutely terrified of riding in soft terrain. my bike is a big touring. Would this techniques also work with big touring bikes?

[@dimos5422]

hello mr Clinton. I am a relatively new rider I am riding for a little over a year and I own a ktm duke 125 with road tyres I leave in an area close to the sea and I often counter loose sand is there any tip for riding on sand with road tyres I know it's a bad choice to do so but sometimes it is inevitable. cheers from Greece

[@hartsergio]

Hi Clinton, this is great advice, thanks! What about pavements that are being re-capped and have these deep grooves? How should the pilot act? Thanks! Sergio Hart, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

[@SMARTPrograms]

Hello Sergio, thanks for watching. Paved roads that are being resuraced often have those deep grooves. Some bridges also have metal mesh surface. For both I think you should adopt a loose grip on the bars and let the front wheel wander a bit. Keep the throttle on in one gear lower than normal to maintain a crisp throttle. Keep your lower body (knees, legs, boots) very tight to the bike. Our natural reaction of slow down and white knukle the bars is the worst reaction! Good luck!

[@hartsergio]

Clinton Smout Clinton, thanks so much for taking your time to answer me. Sometimes paved roads and urban scenarios can offer real challenges. Especially if you are in a developing country, where driving a motorcycle feels like you e in an enduro competition! lol ,,, Thanks so much!

[@srpdesigns]

Clinton Smout Hey Clinton jst found your channel this morning and I love watching and listening to your advice.. Just wnted to ask where your located and if you ever take your show on the road and go to other states or riding grounds.. Thnks Again Clinton

[@srpdesigns]

Clinton Smout Ok well I should of looked it up first.. So your in Ontario.. Lol....

[@aidanthevlogger3051]

does this stuff apply to Dirtbike?

[@shaquilleghotane6593]

hey clinton, it's not too difficult getting around a flat soft terrain but how do you handle uphills that are muddy or rough? what's the best way to handle those?

[@bobbychan9242]

Great teacher!!

[@oosteveo315]

Deep sand you need to steer the bike w/ the throttle and bars etc.

[@availablehage]

Weird how the video plays on only one ear

[@nicob1327]

[@chrisbif8362]

clintons got that deep stroke (click 2 during video)

[@arthurb8631]

I feel so bad for you riding 5 days a week 😡

[@clintonsmout1130]

Hi Sergio, thanks for your question and sorry it has taken so long for me to realize you asked it. Pavement that is being resurfaced is often scraped leaving those big grooves that freak us out on bikes. Drop down one gear to be able to keep the throttle crisp which keeps the front end elevated . Put an imaginary egg in each glove (relaxed grip) and let the front end wander a little. Also keep your weight back on the seat to keep the front end light. the worst reaction is to white knuckle the bars and slow down aggressively.
